Give them the details:

It’s once weekly¹
It's in a single-dose pen
It helps control your blood sugar¹
- Trulicity can help lower A1C and blood glucose levels
It may cause some side effects¹
- Patients may experience nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
- Discuss the Boxed Warning and other warnings/precautions as appropriate for your patient
Give them a demonstration
- Consider giving them the first dose in the office
- Explain the Instructions for Use
- Show the demonstration pen
- Let them practice
With Trulicity, patients may lose some weight¹
- Although Trulicity is not a weight loss drug, many people in clinical trials experienced weight loss after taking Trulicity. In studies, weight change in adults ranges from +0.4lbs (0.75 mg) to -10.1lbs (4.5 mg).

^*Be sure to discuss the Boxed Warning and other warnings and precautions with patients.
Dosing: Initiate at 0.75 mg subcutaneously once weekly. For additional glycemic control, dose can be increased to 1.5 mg once weekly. Then the 1.5 mg dose may be increased after ≥4 weeks to 3.0 mg once weekly. The 3.0 mg dose may be increased after ≥4 weeks to the maximum dose of 4.5 mg once weekly.

Can a simple administration experience help patients continue on your treatment plan?

How to administer Trulicity — Graphics show that in a study¹, 99% of injection-naïve patients injected successfully; 98% found the Trulicity Pen convenient to self-inject; 99% reported the Trulicity Pen was easy or very easy to use; and 97% of injection-naïve patients were willing to continue to use the Trulicity Pen.

Refer to the study description for more information.

97% of injection-naïve patients were willing to continue using the Trulicity Pen⁴

Phase 3b, multicenter, single-arm, outpatient study on the safe and effective use of the Trulicity single-dose pen [SDP] in patients with type 2 diabetes who were naïve to self-injection and injecting others (n=214)
The primary objective of a success rate significantly greater than 80% at the fourth weekly injection was met. 99.1% [95% CI: 96.6% to 99.7%] (n=209) of patients successfully completed each step in the sequence of drug administration after proper self-injection training at baseline
Limitations include the administration of placebo rather than active drug product and the willingness of injection-naïve patients to selfinject, which may not be entirely representative of an injection-naïve type 2 diabetes patient population. The patients in this study with fairly well-controlled type 2 diabetes may not be entirely representative of an injection-naïve population progressing to injectable therapy. In clinical practice, patient training on self-injection with the single-dose pen may differ from the method in this study

Patients preferred the Trulicity Pen over the Ozempic^® pen⁵

The Trulicity pen preference pie chart — A pie chart shows that in a study of 310 adults with type 2 diabetes who had never used an injection pen were trained on how to use the Trulicity and Ozempic pens (without medication). After training, they injected into an injection pad, and answered which pen they preferred.
84% of people preferred the Trulicity Pen.
12% preferred the Ozempic Pen.
4% had no preference.
p-value less than .0001
Refer to the study description for more information.

These data make no representation or conclusion as to the factors contributing to patient preference.
These data do not establish clinical comparability of the products for any indications and should not be seen as making any claim regarding efficacy and safety.
Limitations of the study include the use of injection pads rather than actual injections and the participants only used each device one time.

More patients were willing to use the Trulicity Pen⁵

More than twice as many patients were willing to use the Trulicity Pen than the Ozempic pen after being trained on the devices⁵

Trulicity pen preference table — A graphic shows that before being trained, 65% of people in a study said they were very willing or somewhat willing to use an injectable diabetes medication.
After training, 94% said they were very willing or somewhat willing to use the Trulicity Pen.
After training, 46% said they were very willing or somewhat willing to use Ozempic Pen.

Exploratory Objective: Patients responded to supplemental questions on willingness to use the device in administered survey

In an exploratory analysis of 78 patients, training patients to use the Trulicity Pen took less than half the time of the Ozempic pen (3 minutes vs 8 minutes)⁶

The patients were timed from the start of training, with time to ask questions, until successful completion of and injection into an injection pad.
These data make no representation or conclusion as to the factors contributing to patient preference.
These data do not establish clinical comparability of the products for any indications and should not be seen as making any claim regarding efficacy or safety.

Select Important Safety Information:

There have been postmarketing reports of acute renal failure and worsening of chronic renal failure, sometimes requiring hemodialysis, in patients treated with GLP-1 receptor agonists. A majority of reported events occurred in patients who had experienced nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or dehydration. In patients with renal impairment, use caution when initiating or escalating doses of Trulicity and monitor renal function in patients experiencing severe adverse gastrointestinal reactions.
Use of Trulicity may be associated with gastrointestinal adverse reactions, sometimes severe. Trulicity has not been studied in and is not recommended for patients with a history of severe gastrointestinal disease (eg, severe gastroparesis).

Incidence of hypoglycemia^* in placebo-controlled trials¹

Hypoglycemia vs. placebo table

^*Hypoglycemia was defined as episodes with a glucose level <54 mg/dL with or without symptoms, and severe hypoglycemia was defined as an episode requiring the assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or resuscitative actions.

Select Important Safety Information:

Patients receiving Trulicity in combination with an insulin secretagogue (e.g., sulfonylurea) or insulin may have an increased risk of hypoglycemia, including severe hypoglycemia. The risk of hypoglycemia may be lowered by a reduction in the dose of sulfonylurea (or other concomitantly administered insulin secretagogue) or insulin. Inform patients using these concomitant medications of the risk of hypoglycemia and educate them on the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia.

Investigation of the safe and effective use of the Trulicity Pen⁴:

Phase 3b, multicenter, single-arm, outpatient study on the safe and effective use of the Trulicity single-dose pen in patients with type 2 diabetes who were naïve to self-injection and injecting others (n=214)
The primary objective of a success rate significantly greater than 80% at the fourth weekly injection was met. 99.1% [95% CI: 96.6% to 99.7%] (n=209) of patients successfully completed each step in the sequence of drug administration after proper self-injection training at baseline
Limitations include the administration of placebo rather than active drug product and the willingness of injection-naïve patients to self-inject, which may not be entirely representative of an injection-naïve type 2 diabetes patient population. The patients in this study with fairly well-controlled type 2 diabetes may not be entirely representative of an injection-naïve population progressing to injectable therapy. In clinical practice, patient training on self-injection with the single-dose pen may differ from the method in this study
After the final self-injection, patients completed a 12-item ease-of-use module (secondary endpoint). 208 (99%) out of 210 patients reported that overall, the single-dose pen was “easy” or “very easy” to use
After the final self-injection, patients completed an 8-item experience module (secondary endpoint). 206 (98.1%) out of 210 patients “agreed” or “strongly agreed” that it was convenient to take injections with the single-dose pen
After the final self-injection, patients completed an 8-item experience module (secondary endpoint). 203 (96.7%) out of 210 patients reported that they were “mostly willing” or “definitely willing” to continue using the single-dose pen

Pen preference compared to Ozempic⁵:

Open‐label, multicenter, randomized, crossover study to evaluate patient preference between the Trulicity Pen and the Ozempic pen among adults with type 2 diabetes who were naïve to self‐injecting and injecting others (N=310)
Patients read and were trained on the Instructions for Use for each device containing the lowest available dose of medication prior to administering mock injections into an injection pad. After using both devices, patients reported which device they preferred (primary endpoint) and completed a 10‐item preference questionnaire. Patients completed questions on willingness to use before device trainings and after using the devices
Primary outcome: Difference in preference between two devices measured by global preference item “Overall which device do you prefer”
Limitations include the use of injection pads rather than actual injections and the participants used each device only one time
Exploratory objective: Patients responded to supplemental questions on willingness to use the device in administered survey
Exploratory objective: Time to train was assessed on a subset of patients (N=78). The patients were timed from the start of training, with time to ask questions, until successful completion of an injection into an injection pad

INDICATION

Trulicity (dulaglutide) is indicated

as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or nonfatal stroke) in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have established cardiovascular disease or multiple cardiovascular risk factors.

LIMITATIONS OF USE:

Has not been studied in patients with a history of pancreatitis. Consider other antidiabetic therapies in these patients.
Not for the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus.
Has not been studied in patients with severe gastrointestinal disease, including severe gastroparesis and is therefore not recommended in these patients.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING: RISK OF THYROID C-CELL TUMORS

In male and female rats, dulaglutide causes a dose-related and treatment-duration-dependent increase in the incidence of thyroid C-cell tumors (adenomas and carcinomas) after lifetime exposure. It is unknown whether Trulicity causes thyroid C-cell tumors, including medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), in humans as human relevance of dulaglutide-induced rodent thyroid C-cell tumors has not been determined.

Trulicity is contraindicated in patients with a personal or family history of MTC and in patients with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). Counsel patients regarding the potential risk of MTC with use of Trulicity and inform them of symptoms of thyroid tumors (eg, mass in the neck, dysphagia, dyspnea, persistent hoarseness). Routine monitoring of serum calcitonin or using thyroid ultrasound is of uncertain value for early detection of MTC in patients treated with Trulicity.

Trulicity is contraindicated in patients with a personal or family history of MTC or in patients with MEN 2, and in patients with a prior serious hypersensitivity reaction to dulaglutide or any of the product components.

Risk of Thyroid C-cell Tumors: Cases of MTC in patients treated with liraglutide, another GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA), have been reported in the postmarketing period; the data in these reports are insufficient to establish or exclude a causal relationship between MTC and GLP-1 RA use in humans. If serum calcitonin is measured and found to be elevated or thyroid nodules are noted on physical examination or neck imaging, the patient should be further evaluated.

Pancreatitis: Has been reported in clinical trials. Observe patients for signs and symptoms including persistent severe abdominal pain sometimes radiating to the back, which may or may not be accompanied by vomiting. If pancreatitis is suspected, discontinue Trulicity promptly. Do not restart if pancreatitis is confirmed. Consider other antidiabetic therapies in patients with a history of pancreatitis.

Hypoglycemia: Patients receiving Trulicity in combination with an insulin secretagogue (e.g., sulfonylurea) or insulin may have an increased risk of hypoglycemia, including severe hypoglycemia. The risk of hypoglycemia may be lowered by a reduction in the dose of sulfonylurea (or other concomitantly administered insulin secretagogue) or insulin. Inform patients using these concomitant medications of the risk of hypoglycemia and educate them on the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia.

Hypersensitivity Reactions: There have been postmarketing reports of serious hypersensitivity reactions (eg, anaphylactic reactions and angioedema) in patients treated with Trulicity. Instruct patients who experience symptoms to discontinue Trulicity and promptly seek medical advice. Use caution in a patient with a history of angioedema or anaphylaxis with another GLP-1 receptor agonist as it is unknown whether they will be predisposed to anaphylaxis with Trulicity.

Acute Kidney Injury: In patients treated with GLP-1 RAs, there have been postmarketing reports of acute renal failure and worsening of chronic renal failure, sometimes requiring hemodialysis. A majority of reported events occurred in patients who had experienced nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or dehydration. In patients with renal impairment, use caution when initiating or escalating doses of Trulicity and monitor renal function in patients experiencing severe adverse gastrointestinal reactions.

Severe Gastrointestinal Disease: Use of Trulicity may be associated with gastrointestinal adverse reactions, sometimes severe. Trulicity has not been studied in patients with severe gastrointestinal disease, including severe gastroparesis, and is therefore not recommended in these patients.

Diabetic Retinopathy Complications: Have been reported in a cardiovascular outcomes trial. Monitor patients with a history of diabetic retinopathy.

The most common adverse reactions reported in ≥5% of Trulicity-treated patients in trials were nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, decreased appetite, dyspepsia, and fatigue.

Gastric emptying: Trulicity slows gastric emptying, which may impact absorption of concomitantly administered oral medications. Use caution when oral medications are used with Trulicity. Drug levels of oral medications with a narrow therapeutic index should be adequately monitored when concomitantly administered with Trulicity. In clinical pharmacology studies, Trulicity did not affect the absorption of the tested, orally administered medications to a clinically relevant degree.

Pregnancy: Limited data with Trulicity in pregnant women are not sufficient to determine a drug-associated risk for major birth defects and miscarriage. Based on animal reproduction studies, there may be risks to the fetus from exposure to dulaglutide. Use only if potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.

Lactation: There are no data on the presence of dulaglutide in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for Trulicity and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from Trulicity or from the underlying maternal condition.

Pediatric Use: Safety and effectiveness of Trulicity have not been established and use is not recommended in patients less than 18 years of age.
