Inside the official reviews

Reviewed 2026-09-19 · Preserved version 1

The original efficacy program focused on glycemic control

EMA’s 2014 review found HbA1c reductions across trials with different background therapies and comparators. Changes from baseline and between-group differences are different measures; they should not be pooled into a single headline effect. EMA PDF pp. 165, 166 ↗

More findings, study links and document coverage

Long exposure was much less common than any exposure

The phase 2/3 program included 4,006 participants exposed to dulaglutide, but only 642 for at least 78 weeks and 157 for at least 104 weeks. EMA identified this as a limitation for a treatment intended for chronic use. EMA PDF pp. 168 ↗

Background therapy changes the safety context

The review reports substantially greater hypoglycemia risk when dulaglutide was studied alongside insulin or a sulfonylurea. Comparing raw adverse-event rates without the accompanying regimen can mislead. EMA PDF pp. 168 ↗

This historical review precedes later evidence

The 2014 assessment described a cardiovascular outcomes trial as ongoing. It should be read alongside subsequent outcome studies and the separate 2022 pediatric FDA source note, not treated as the latest statement of all available evidence. EMA PDF pp. 169 ↗

Read the separate U.S. label account → Label version and indication scope are preserved there; these agency reviews describe their own dated evidence.

Document coverage

Selected sections read in 1 of 22 inventoried documents; 21 not yet reviewed. Reading selected sections does not establish complete appraisal of a document.

Selected English EMA PDFs from the retained September 15, 2026 title-matched document feed, plus independently retrieved FDA approval-package documents where listed. Candidate entries are not verified product/application matches. This is a bounded inventory, not a complete FDA, national or worldwide source search. EMA inventory source ↗

Inspect documents, application identities and source pins

Page references use one-based PDF file pages, which can differ from printed page numbers. Candidate feed associations are not verified application identities.

Remaining work

  • Read the later REWIND regulatory assessment and additional indication/strength variations.
  • Reconcile the pediatric memo’s prose/table discrepancy before publishing a pooled HbA1c point estimate.
