Abstract
PURPOSE The evaluation of the effect of dulaglutide on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and non-invasive indices of hepatic steatosis among different genotypes of the PNPLA3 I148M (rs738409) and CETP Taq1B (rs708272) polymorphisms in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). METHODS Relevant data from patients with inadequately controlled T2DM, also displaying NAFLD, administered 1.5 mg dulaglutide weekly for 6 months were retrospectively retrieved. The non-invasive indices, fatty liver index (FLI) and hepatic steatosis index (HSI), were calculated. Genotyping for rs738409 and rs708272 were performed with polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Data from 80 patients (39 females), aged 64.4 ± 9.5 years and displaying a baseline BMI of 34.5 ± 5.8 kg/m2, were retrieved at baseline and after 6 months (endpoint) of dulaglutide treatment. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c; -0.72 ± 1.10%; p < 0.001), FLI (-5.8 ± 9.8; p < 0.001) and HSI (-1.18 ± 3.51; p = 0.004) significantly decreased after treatment. Lipid profile and liver function tests also improved after treatment. Overall, homozygotes for the reference rs738409 allele (CC) displayed a 2.4-fold decrease (p = 0.002) and heterozygotes (CG) an 1.6-fold decrease (p = 0.013) compared to GG homozygotes after treatment, but the effect was largely limited to female patients. No similar effect was observed in FLI, HSI and other relevant parameters. No association was observed between rs708272 and any of the parameters studied. CONCLUSIONS rs738409, but not rs708272, was associated with the effect of dulaglutide on HbA1c, but not on presumed hepatic steatosis or other relevant parameters. Sex-specific effects were also noticed.

Role of Novel Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Analogue Polyethylene Glycol Loxenatide in Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Indian J Endocrinol Metab 2023; 27:377-386. [PMID: 38107730 PMCID: PMC10723608 DOI: 10.4103/ijem.ijem_162_23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2023] [Revised: 05/01/2023] [Accepted: 05/16/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Polyethylene glycol loxenatide (peg-loxenatide) is a novel glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist developed and available for clinical use in China. This meta-analysis was performed as no meta-analysis has analysed the efficacy and safety of peg-loxenatide in type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Methods Electronic databases were systematically reviewed for RCTs having patients living with T2DM receiving peg-loxenatide in treatment arm and placebo/any other diabetes medicine in control arm. The primary outcome was to evaluate changes in glycated haemoglobin. The secondary outcomes were to evaluate alterations in weight, blood pressure, fasting glucose, prandial glucose, lipids, and adverse events. Results Data from four trials (718 patients) were analysed. Over 12-24 weeks of clinical use, HbA1c was significantly lower in patients receiving standard-dose peg-loxenatide (100 mcg/week) {MD -0.95% [95% confidence interval (CI): -1.19 to -0.71]; P < 0.01; I2 = 76%} and high-dose peg-loxenatide (200 mcg/week) [MD -1.15% (95% CI: -1.47 to -0.82); P < 0.01; I2 = 90%], as compared to placebo. Standard-dose peg-loxenatide was not associated with increased occurrence of nausea [RR 2.87 (95% CI: 0.56 to 14.72); P = 0.21; I2 = 10%], vomiting [RR 4.73 (95% CI: 0.53 to 41.88); P = 0.16; I2 = 0%], and anorexia [RR 0.78 (95% CI: 0.18 to 3.28); P = 0.73; I2 = 0%]. Occurrence of nausea [RR 16.85 (95% CI: 3.89 to 72.92); P < 0.01; I2 = 10%], vomiting [RR 15.90 (95% CI: 2.99 to 84.55); P < 0.01; I2 = 0%], and anorexia [RR 3.85 (95% CI: 1.24 to 11.88); P = 0.02; I2 = 0%] was significantly higher with high-dose peg-loxenatide, as compared to placebo. Conclusion Peg-loxenatide (100 mcg/week) is the most appropriate dose for clinical use as it is associated with good glycaemic efficacy with minimal gastro-intestinal side effects.

Abstract
Purpose: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to combine the data available from clinical trials and evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of tirzepatide in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods: We systematically searched the MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, and clinical trials registries (https://clinicaltrials.gov) up to 25 March 2022 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared tirzepatide with placebo or active hypoglycemic drugs in subjects with T2D. Heterogeneity was judged by the I 2 value and Cochran's Q test. The randomized effects model was adopted to calculate risk ratios and weighted mean differences (WMDs). The primary outcome was the change from baseline in HbA1c levels. Secondary efficacy endpoints were fasting serum glucose (FSG), change of body weight, blood pressure, fasting lipid profiles, and safety indexes. Results: Six trials comprising 6,579 subjects (4,410 in the tirzepatide group and 2,054 in the control group) fulfilled the pre-specified criteria and were included in the study. Tirzepatide treatment resulted in reducing HbA1c (WMD: -1.07%; 95% confidence intervals [CIs]: -1.44, -0.56), FSG (WMD, -21.50 mg/dl; 95% CI: -34.44, -8.56), body weight (WMD: -7.99 kg; 95% CI -11.36, -4.62), and blood pressure and ameliorated fasting lipid profiles, without increasing hypoglycemia, either as monotherapy or an add-on therapy. Tirzepatide increased the risk of gastrointestinal adverse events mainly in add-on therapy but not in terms of pancreatitis or cholelithiasis. Furthermore, tirzepatide presented a dose-response effect on the reduction in HbA1c and body weight and increase in nausea and vomiting. Conclusion: In patients with type 2 diabetes, tirzepatide shows superior blood glucose control and weight loss performance, without an increased risk of hypoglycemia.

Diabetes Metab J 2021; 45:948-953. [PMID: 33535737 PMCID: PMC8640157 DOI: 10.4093/dmj.2020.0180] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2020] [Accepted: 11/11/2020] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Dulaglutide, a weekly injectable glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, has demonstrated effectiveness when combined with basal insulin. We examined whether the efficacy of dulaglutide is comparable to that of prandial insulin in kidney transplant (KT) recipients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) undergoing multiple daily insulin injection (MDI) therapy. Thirty-seven patients, who switched from MDI therapy to basal insulin and dulaglutide, were retrospectively analyzed. Changes in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels, body weight, and basal insulin dose were evaluated over 6 months. Dulaglutide was comparable to three injections of prandial insulin in terms of glycemic control (HbA1c 7.1% vs. 7.0%; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.53 to 0.28; P=0.53). The basal insulin and dulaglutide combination resulted in a reduction in FPG levels by 9.7 mg/dL (95% CI, 2.09 to 41.54; P=0.03), in body weight by 4.9 kg (95% CI, 2.87 to 6.98; P<0.001), and in basal insulin dose by 9.52 IU (95% CI, 5.80 to 3.23; P<0.001). Once-weekly dulaglutide may be an effective alternative for thrice-daily prandial insulin in KT recipients with T2DM currently receiving MDI therapy.

Real-World Efficacy and Safety of Dulaglutide in Korean Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Retrospective Study in a Tertiary Referral Center. Chonnam Med J 2021; 57:211-218. [PMID: 34621642 PMCID: PMC8485082 DOI: 10.4068/cmj.2021.57.3.211] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2021] [Revised: 07/02/2021] [Accepted: 07/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of once-weekly dulaglutide therapy as add-on to oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) and basal insulin in Korean patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in real-world clinical practice. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 112 patients who received dulaglutide in a tertiary referral center. The primary efficacy endpoint was a change in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) between baseline and 6 months. The secondary endpoints were the percentage of patients achieving HbA1c <7.0% or ≤6.5% and the change of body weight at 6 months. At baseline, the mean HbA1c was 8.7 % (8.8% in the OAD combination and 8.5% in the basal insulin combination group). The mean adjusted HbA1c at 6 months decreased by -1.13% in all patients (p<0.001), and by -1.36 and -0.74% in the OAD combination and basal insulin combination group, respectively. A significant reduction of -2.9 kg in body weight was observed in all patients at 6 months (p<0.001). Approximately 34.8% and 23.2% of patients achieved HbA1c <7.0% and ≤6.5%, respectively. Higher baseline HbA1c and no previous insulin therapy were associated with positive responses to dulaglutide on multivariate analysis. Mild gastrointestinal issues (23.2%) were the most frequently observed adverse events. Dulaglutide is an effective and durable treatment option as OAD and basal insulin combination therapy in Korean patients with T2DM.

Abstract
CONTEXT In randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients, the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist (GLP-RA) dulaglutide reduced HbA1c and body weight, but generalizability of such findings to real-world T2D patients is challenging. OBJECTIVE We evaluated effectiveness of dulaglutide in routine clinical practice, especially in subgroups of patient that are underrepresented in RCTs. DESIGN Retrospective multicenter study. SETTING Diabetes outpatient clinics. PATIENTS AND INTERVENTION All consecutive patients who initiated dulaglutide between 2015 and 2018. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Changes in HbA1c and body weight were assessed up to 30 months after baseline. Effectiveness was analyzed in patient subgroups according to: prior use of GLP-1RA, persistence on treatment and dose, age, sex, disease duration, renal function, obesity, cardiovascular disease, or concomitant use of insulin or sulphonylurea. RESULTS From a background population of 83,116 patients, 2084 initiated dulaglutide (15.3% switching from another GLP-1RA), 1307 of whom had at least 1 follow-up visit. Overall, dulaglutide reduced HbA1c by 1.0% and body weight by 2.9 kg at the end of observation. These effects were more pronounced in GLP-1RA-naïve patients and in those with shorter disease duration. Improvement in HbA1c was highly significant and consistent across all subgroups, including those aged ≥ 75 years, nonobese, or with chronic kidney disease. Body weight declined in all subgroups and significantly more with the 1.5-mg versus 0.75-mg dose. CONCLUSIONS In real-world T2D patients, effectiveness of dulaglutide on HbA1c and body weight reduction was highly consistent and significant even in subgroups of patients poorly represented in RCTs.

[PMID: 32574827 DOI: 10.1016/j.phrs.2020.104996] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2020] [Revised: 06/03/2020] [Accepted: 06/03/2020] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
Aim of this retrospective multicenter observational study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) dulaglutide in a type-2 diabetic real-world population and to determine the factors predicting the response in terms of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and other relevant clinical outcomes. Data for efficacy outcomes, adverse events and drug discontinuation were collected from records of patients with type-2 diabetes treated with once-a-week 1.5 mg of dulaglutide for 12 months in routine clinical practice. Initial analysis included 782 patients and 626 had complete follow-up at 6- and 12-months. There was a significant reduction of HbA1c at 6 months (-1 ± 0.8 %, p < 0.0001), which remained stable at 12-months follow-up (-1 ± 0.9 %, p < 0.0001). The percentage of subjects with HbA1c≤7.0 % increased significantly from 7.2 % at baseline to 52.7 % at 6 months to 55.8 % at 12 months. Predictors of the achievement of HbA1c≤7.0 % were low baseline HbA1c and short duration of diabetes. The reduction of HbA1c was associated with reductions of BMI, waist circumference, fasting plasma glucose and blood pressures. Neither sex nor age had significant effects on any clinical or laboratory outcome. The effects of dulaglutide on HbA1c, BMI and SBP tended to be greater in patients who shifted from dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitors (-0.8 ± 0.8 %) than other GLP-1 RA, even if an improvement of HbA1c reduction (-0.5 %) was also seen in those shifting from other GLP-1 RA. This study confirms that addition of dulaglutide 1.5 mg once a week in real word settings has beneficial effects on both clinical and laboratory outcomes in patients with uncontrolled type-2 diabetes. Dulaglutide has a greater effect on HbA1c in patients with higher baseline values and helps achieve a target HbA1c≤7.0 %, more consistently in patients with lower baseline HbA1c and shorter diabetes duration.
