Dulaglutide is a novel glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist (GLP-1) biologic drug consisting of a dipeptidyl peptidase-IV-protected GLP-1 analogue covalently linked to a human IgG4-Fc heavy chain by a small peptide linker. Dulaglutide is indicated in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and can be used once a week and to improve glycemic control in adults with type-2 diabetes mellitus as an adjunct to diet and exercise. It is not known if dulaglutide can increase the risk of medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, and is thus not recommended for use in populations with a personal or family history of these conditions.  >> Read More

Dulaglutide and liraglutide, both glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, improve glycaemic control and reduce weight in patients with type 2 diabetes. In a head-to-head trial, we compared the safety and efficacy of once-weekly dulaglutide with that of once-daily liraglutide in metformin-treated patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes.

To compare efficacy and safety of dulaglutide, a once weekly glucagon-like peptide1 receptor agonist, to placebo and exenatide in type 2 diabetes patients. Primary objective was superiority of dulaglutide 1.5 mg versus placebo in HbA1c change at 26 weeks.
