A graph displaying the change in HbA1c levels over 52 weeks for IcoSema (dark blue) and Semaglutide 1.0 mg (light blue). The graph shows a greater reduction in HbA1c for IcoSema (-14.7 mmol/mol) compared to Semaglutide (-9.88 mmol/mol). The x-axis represents time in weeks (0 to 52), and the y-axis represents the change in HbA1c (mmol/mol). Data points with error bars indicate the trend of decreasing HbA1c levels over time, with IcoSema showing a steeper decline. A water droplet icon highlights the estimated mean change for each treatment.
A graph depicting the change in fasting blood glucose (FPG) levels over 52 weeks for IcoSema (dark blue) and Semaglutide 1.0 mg (light blue). IcoSema results in a greater reduction in FPG (-2.48 mmol/l) compared to Semaglutide (-1.43 mmol/l). The x-axis represents time in weeks (0 to 52), and the y-axis shows the change in FPG (mmol/l). Both treatments show an initial decline, with IcoSema achieving a steeper and more sustained reduction. A glucose monitor icon represents the estimated mean change for each treatment.
A graph illustrating the change in body weight over 52 weeks for IcoSema (dark blue) and Semaglutide 1.0 mg (light blue). Semaglutide leads to a significant weight reduction (-3.70 kg), while IcoSema results in a slight weight gain (+0.84 kg). The x-axis represents time in weeks (0 to 52), and the y-axis indicates the change in body weight (kg). The Semaglutide group shows a steady decrease in weight, while the IcoSema group experiences a slight increase. A scale icon with footprints visually represents the weight change for each treatment.
📊A recent phase III trial shows superior #glycaemic control with #IcoSema vs #Semaglutide.
“IcoSema provides a good balance between efficacy and safety while also reducing the total number of injections in a year,” the study authors write.

In adults with #T2D in #COMBINE_2, #once-weekly #IcoSema, a combination of #icodec and #semaglutide, led to superior reduction in HbA1c after 52 wks vs once-weekly #semaglutide, with similar #hypoglycaemia rates, but weight change favoured semaglutide tinyurl.com/b3uwndny 🔓
