SoliMix is the first randomized controlled trial to directly compare the efficacy and safety of an FRC of basal insulin and GLP-1 RA, iGlarLixi, with a premix insulin analogue, biphasic insulin aspart 30 (30% insulin aspart and 70% insulin aspart protamine) (BIAsp 30), in people with T2D uncontrolled on basal insulin plus one or two oral antihyperglycaemic drugs (OADs)
The study design and baseline characteristics of SoliMix are described here
Population
Start dose: 20 U iGlar/10 μg Lixi if previous iGlar* dose was <30 U (10–40 U Pen)Start dose: 30 U iGlar/10 μg Lixi if previous iGlar* dose was ≤50 U (30–60 U Pen)
Weekly dose adjustments for iGlarLixi(based on three once-daily fasting self-measured plasma glucose (SMPG) measurements)
Weekly dose adjustments for BIAsp 30(based on three twice-daily pre-meal SMPG measurements)
Median of fasting SMPG values from the last 3 measurements
iGlarLixi† dose adjustments (U/day)
*If a twice-daily basal insulin or insulin glargine 300 U/mL was used, the total daily dose previously used should be reduced by 20% to choose the iGlarLixi starting dose. If any other basal insulin was used, the same rule as for iGlar should be applied; †The U/day refers solely to the iGlar component of iGlarLixi
*BIAsp 30 titration utilized pre-dinner SMPG values for breakfast dose adjustment and pre-breakfast SMPG values for dinner dose adjustment
*Defined as severe cognitive impairment requiring external assistance for recovery

ADA definition
Data from prospective randomized studies, such as the present study, are important for clinical practitioners as they are the gold standard for evaluating new therapies with improved benefit–risk profiles, enabling individualization of therapy
These new therapies should provide people with options involving reduced treatment complexity and therapeutic burden
Results from this trial will provide a robust level of evidence to support clinical decisions when basal insulin therapy needs to be advanced in people with uncontrolled T2D, and may inform future treatment guidelines
For people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) on basal insulin who fail to reach their recommended glycaemic targets, options for treatment advancement are:• Basal insulin + progressive addition of rapid-acting insulin• Premix insulin• Basal insulin + glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA)• Fixed-ratio combination (FRC) of basal insulin + GLP-1 RA
iGlarLixi is a once-daily titratable FRC of basal insulin glargine 100 U/mL (iGlar) and the GLP-1 RA, lixisenatide (Lixi), which offers an alternative option for treatment intensification
A systematic literature review and network meta-analysis showed that iGlarLixi therapy was associated with greater HbA1c reductions compared with premix and basal plus prandial insulin regimens, in addition to favourable bodyweight changes versus premix insulin regimens
