2160-PUB: Development of an Evidence-Based Tool to Facilitate Individualized Treatment in the Clinic for Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a heterogeneous disease with many therapies available. Current guidelines recommend individualized therapy, and this could be facilitated by using estimates of outcomes based on individual characteristics instead of population-level outcomes. There are challenges to defining and implementing individualized therapy in a data-driven and patient-oriented way. We propose criteria to aid implementation of individualized medicine, including: 1) robust insights based on high-quality clinical data, to guide treatment selection; 2) integration of patient-oriented outcomes with engagement of providers and patients; 3) provision of a user-friendly, efficient tool for use in the clinic. We are developing an interactive tool that draws on data from a wide range of randomized controlled trials, e.g., all treatment arms from the full phase 3a program for once-weekly semaglutide. The tool selects the appropriate trial from a database and shows the predicted change in outcomes on initiation/continuation with different therapies over 26-30 weeks. Estimates are based on characteristics such as age, BMI, and T2D duration (Figure). In conclusion, a tool such as this could help clinicians and patients use high-quality, large-scale data from contemporary trials to select individualized treatment regimens. Disclosure A.R.
