The aim of ANDREW (Active Notes on Dulaglutide in the REal World), a multicenter, prospective, observational study, was to evaluate glycemic control and weight (co-primary outcomes) for up to 24 months in the real-life setting in consecutive outpatients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who initiated dulaglutide.
Overall, 1584 subjects (696 women, 888 men) with T2D (mean age [± standard deviation] 61.7 ± 10.2 years; mean T2D duration 9.9 ± 6.9 years) were treated with dulaglutide (0.75 or 1.5 mg once weekly) between April 2016 and December 2019.
