Assessing the Metabolic and Physical Effects of Combined DPP4 and SGLT2 Inhibitor Therapy in Patients with Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus: An Observational Prospective Pilot Study. JMA J 2024; 7:387-400. [PMID: 39114607 PMCID: PMC11301034 DOI: 10.31662/jmaj.2023-0214] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction This study aimed to assess the efficacy of combined administration of dipeptidyl peptide-4 (DPP4) and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on metabolic disorders and their preferable and complementary effects. Methods The effectiveness of a 24-week intervention on metabolic parameters (including glucose profile), physical functions (grip strength and calf circumference), and health-related quality of life (HR-QOL) was analyzed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire and Geriatric Depression Scale 5. A total of 39 patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treated with the combination of DPP4 and SGLT2 inhibitors were included in this multicenter pilot study. Results Combination therapy significantly reduced the HbA1c level (median [interquartile range]) after 24 weeks (pretreatment: 7.7% [7.3-8.2] vs. posttreatment: 7.1% [6.6-7.9], P < 0.001). The grip strength significantly increased after 24 weeks (1.7 ± 2.7 kg, P < 0.001), while the mean calf circumference and body mass index significantly decreased. In particular, administration of the SGLT2 inhibitor significantly increased total physical activity in participants aged ≥65 years (P = 0.003), while psychological QOL did not significantly improve. Conclusions Combination therapy with DPP4 and SGLT2 inhibitors decreased HbA1c levels and improved physical function in patients with T2DM. This study confirmed the effectiveness of combination therapy for metabolic disorders and suggested its beneficial and complementary effects. Therefore, advances in treatment plans to achieve further improvements in glucose profiles using DPP4 and SGLT2 inhibitors are recommended to enhance the QOL of patients with T2DM.

BMC Endocr Disord 2024; 24:52. [PMID: 38658986 PMCID: PMC11040974 DOI: 10.1186/s12902-024-01575-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are widely used in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) therapy. The impact of SGLT2 inhibitors on bone metabolism has been widely taken into consideration. But there are controversial results in the study on the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on bone metabolism in patients with T2DM. Therefore, we aimed to examine whether and to what extent SGLT2 inhibitors affect bone metabolism in patients with T2DM. METHODS A literature search of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted through PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane databases, and Scopus from inception until 15 April 2023. Eligible RCTs compared the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors versus placebo on bone mineral density and bone metabolism in patients with T2DM. To evaluate the differences between groups, a meta-analysis was conducted using the random effects inverse-variance model by utilizing standardized mean differences (SMD). RESULTS Through screening, 25 articles were finally included, covering 22,828 patients. The results showed that, compared with placebo, SGLT2 inhibitors significantly increased parathyroid hormone (PTH, SMD = 0.13; 95%CI: 0.06, 0.20), and cross-linked C-terminal telopeptides of type I collagen (CTX, SMD = 0.11; 95%CI: 0.01, 0.21) in patients with T2DM, decreased serum alkaline phosphatase levels (ALP, SMD = -0.06; 95%CI: -0.10, -0.03), and had no significant effect on bone mineral density (BMD), procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), 25-hydroxy vitamin D, tartrate resistant acid phosphatase-5b (TRACP-5b) and osteocalcin. CONCLUSIONS SGLT2 inhibitors may negatively affect bone metabolism by increasing serum PTH, CTX, and decreasing serum ALP. This conclusion needs to be verified by more studies due to the limited number and quality of included studies. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION PROSPERO, identifier CRD42023410701.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the renal, cardiovascular, and safety outcomes when sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) were added to insulin therapy in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched Embase, PubMed, and Cochrane libraries for reports published up to Feb 2023. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing SGLT2is and insulin combination therapy (SGLT2is + INS group) with insulin therapy alone (INS group) in T2DM were included. RESULTS Fourteen RCTs involving six thousand one hundred twenty subjects with durations of 12-104 weeks were included. Compared with the insulin group, the SGLT2is + INS group showed decreased glycosylated hemoglobin values and insulin dosages (P < 0.00001). Meanwhile, the SGLT2is + INS group had a reduced urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR) by 25.42 mg/g and uric acid concentration (P = 0.030; P = 0.001, respectively) but the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and renal-related adverse events were unaffected (P = 0.070; P = 0.880, respectively). Blood pressure and body weight were lower in the SGLT2is + INS group (P < 0.01). However, the risk of genital infection was bigger when SGLT2is were added to insulin therapy (P < 0.00001), but the risks of severe hypoglycemia or urinary tract infection were equal between the two groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION Adding SGLT2is to insulin therapy in T2DM patients showed better glucose control and decreased albuminuria, uric acid, blood pressure, and body weight without a reduction in the eGFR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Empagliflozin is a sodium glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor that has gained significant attention in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Understanding its chemistry, pharmacology, and toxicology is crucial for the safe and effective use of this medication. OBJECTIVE This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the chemistry, pharmacology, and toxicology of empagliflozin, synthesizing the available literature to present a concise summary of its properties and implications for clinical practice. METHODS A systematic search of relevant databases was conducted to identify studies and articles related to the chemistry, pharmacology, and toxicology of empagliflozin. Data from preclinical and clinical studies, as well as post-marketing surveillance reports, were reviewed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the topic. RESULTS Empagliflozin is a selective SGLT2 inhibitor that works by constraining glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, causing increased urinary glucose elimination. Its unique mechanism of action provides glycemic control, weight reduction, and blood pressure reduction. The drug's chemistry is characterized by its chemical structure, solubility, and stability. Pharmacologically, empagliflozin exhibits favorable pharmacokinetic properties with rapid absorption, extensive protein binding, and renal elimination. Clinical studies have demonstrated its efficacy in improving glycemic control, reducing cardiovascular risks, and preserving renal function. However, adverse effects, for instance, urinary tract infections, genital infections, and diabetic ketoacidosis have been reported. Toxicological studies indicate low potential for organ toxicity, mutagenicity, or carcinogenicity. CONCLUSION Empagliflozin is a promising SGLT2 inhibitor that offers an innovative approach to the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Its unique action mechanism and favorable pharmacokinetic profile contribute to its efficacy in improving glycemic control and reducing cardiovascular risks. While the drug's safety profile is generally favorable, clinicians should be aware of potential adverse effects and monitor patients closely. More study is required to determine the longterm safety and explore potential benefits in other patient populations. Overall, empagliflozin represents a valuable addition to the armamentarium of antidiabetic medications, offering significant benefits to patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study covers all aspects of empagliflozin, including its history, chemistry, pharmacology, and various clinical studies, case reports, and case series.

Comparative safety of different sodium-glucose transporter 2 inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2023; 14:1238399. [PMID: 37701900 PMCID: PMC10494439 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1238399] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [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: 06/11/2023] [Accepted: 07/26/2023] [Indexed: 09/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Backgrounds The safety of different sodium-glucose transporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors remains uncertain due to the lack of head-to-head comparisons. Methods This network meta-analysis (NMA) was performed to compare the safety of nine SGLT-2 inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched for studies published in English before August 30, 2022. Published and unpublished randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the safety of individual SGLT-2 inhibitors in patients with T2DM were included. A Bayesian NMA with random effects model was applied. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed. The quality of the evidence was evaluated using the Confidence in Network Meta-Analysis framework. Results Nine SGLT-2 inhibitors were evaluated in 113 RCTs (12 registries) involving 105,293 adult patients. Reproductive tract infections (RTIs) were reported in 1,967 (4.51%) and 276 (1.01%) patients in the SGLT-2 inhibitor and placebo groups, respectively. Furthermore, pollakiuria was reported in 233 (2.66%) and 45 (0.84%) patients, respectively. Compared to placebo, a significantly higher risk of RTIs was observed with canagliflozin, ertugliflozin, empagliflozin, remogliflozin, dapagliflozin, and sotagliflozin, but not with luseogliflozin and ipragliflozin, regardless of gender. An increased risk of pollakiuria was observed with dapagliflozin [odds ratio (OR) 10.40, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.60-157.94) and empagliflozin (OR 5.81, 95%CI 1.79-32.97). Remogliflozin (OR 6.45, 95%CI 2.18-27.79) and dapagliflozin (OR 1.33, 95%CI 1.10-1.62) were associated with an increased risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Instead, the included SGLT-2 inhibitors had a protective effect against acute kidney injury (AKI). No significant differences were found for hypovolemia, renal impairment or failure, fracture, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), amputation, and severe hypoglycemia between the SGLT-2 inhibitor and the placebo groups. Conclusion In patients with T2DM, dapagliflozin was associated with an increased risk of RTIs, pollakiuria, and UTIs. Empagliflozin increased the risk of RTIs and pollakiuria. Remogliflozin increased the risk of UTIs. None of the SGLT-2 inhibitors showed a significant difference from the placebo for hypovolemia, renal impairment or failure, fracture, DKA, amputation, and severe hypoglycemia. The findings guide the selection of SGLT-2 inhibitors for patients with T2DM based on the patient's profiles to maximize safety.

Association of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors with Osteomyelitis and Other Lower Limb Safety Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomised Controlled Trials. J Clin Med 2023; 12:3958. [PMID: 37373652 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12123958] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2023] [Revised: 06/04/2023] [Accepted: 06/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Our aim was to evaluate osteomyelitis and other major lower limb safety outcomes (i.e., peripheral artery disease or PAD, ulcers, atraumatic fractures, amputations, symmetric polyneuropathy, and infections) in patients affected by type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and treated with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2-is). We thus performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing SGLT2-is at approved doses for T2DM with a placebo or standard of care. MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane CENTRAL were searched through August 2022. Separate intention-to-treat analyses were implemented for each molecule to calculate Mantel-Haenszel risk ratios (RRMH) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) through a random-effects model. We processed data from 42 RCTs for a total of 29,491 and 23,052 patients, respectively assigned to SGLT2-i and comparator groups. SGLT2-is showed a pooled neutral effect on osteomyelitis, PAD, fractures, and symmetric polyneuropathy, whereas slightly deleterious sway on ulcers (RRMH 1.39 [1.01-1.91]), amputations (RRMH 1.27 [1.04-1.55]), and infections (RRMH 1.20 [1.02-1.40]). In conclusion, SGLT2-is appear to not significantly interfere with the onset of osteomyelitis, PAD, lower limb fractures, or symmetric polyneuropathy, even though the number of these events proved consistently higher in the investigational groups; otherwise, local ulcers, amputations, and overall infections may be favoured by their employment. This study is registered with the Open Science Framework (OSF).

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the efficacy and safety of empagliflozin in combination with insulin ± oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) over 24 weeks, in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who had insufficient glycaemic control. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, multicentre phase III study. Adult patients with T2D and insufficient glycaemic control who received insulin ± up to two OADs were randomized (1:1:1) to receive empagliflozin 10 or 25 mg, or placebo for 24 weeks. The primary endpoint was change from baseline in HbA1c at week 24. RESULTS Of 219 randomized patients, 73 patients were in each treatment group; baseline characteristics were comparable among the groups. There was a significantly larger decrease from baseline in HbA1c (adjusted mean treatment difference -0.99 and -0.98 for in the empagliflozin 10 and 25 mg groups, respectively; P < .0001) with both doses of empagliflozin than with placebo. There were also significantly larger decreases from baseline in fasting plasma glucose, 2-hour postprandial glucose and body weight with both empagliflozin doses than with placebo. Among patients in the empagliflozin 10 mg, 25 mg and placebo groups, 17.8%, 9.6% and 11.0% reported confirmed hypoglycaemic events, respectively (nominal P = .2422 and .7661 in the empagliflozin 10 and 25 mg groups, respectively), and no Clinical Events Committee-confirmed diabetic ketoacidosis events were reported. CONCLUSIONS In Chinese patients with T2D, empagliflozin combined with insulin ± OADs improved glycaemic control and was well tolerated, without an increased risk of hypoglycaemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Landmark trials have established the benefits of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2-Is) in cardiovascular disease including heart failure with reduced and preserved ejection fraction and renal diseases regardless of the presence of diabetes mellitus. However, studies evaluating the role of SGLT2-Is in metabolic syndrome (MetS) are limited.
AIM This study primarily aimed to evaluate the impact of SGLT2-Is on the components of MetS.
METHODS Two independent reviewers and an experienced librarian searched Medline, Scopus and the Cochrane central from inception to December 9, 2021 to identify placebo controlled randomized controlled trials that evaluated the impact of SGLT2-Is on the components of MetS as an endpoint. Pre- and post-treatment data of each component were obtained. A meta-analysis was performed using the RevMan (version 5.3; Copenhagen: The Nordic Cochrane Center, The Cochrane Collaboration).
RESULTS Treatment with SGLT2-Is resulted in a decrease in fasting plasma glucose (–18.07 mg/dL; 95%CI: -25.32 to –10.82), systolic blood pressure (–1.37 mmHg; 95%CI: -2.08 to –0.65), and waist circumference (–1.28 cm; 95%CI: -1.39 to –1.18) compared to placebo. The impact on high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was similar to placebo (0.01 mg/dL; 95%CI: -0.05 to 0.07).
CONCLUSION SGLT2-Is have a promising role in the management of MetS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sodium-dependent glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors ameliorate blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by inhibiting the reabsorption of glucose from the kidneys, thus increasing urinary glucose excretion. Most SGLT2 inhibitors have been reported to exert dose-dependent effects. However, little is known about the benefits of increasing the dose of SGLT2 inhibitors in clinical use. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of increasing the dose of the SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin in T2DM. METHODS We collected 52 subjects with T2DM with inadequate glycemic control. The dose of empagliflozin was increased from 10 to 25 mg, taken once daily, and the alterations in glycemic control and several other clinical parameters were evaluated. RESULTS The increased dose of empagliflozin significantly ameliorated glycemic control. In addition, body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), triglyceride (TG), and γ-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) were significantly decreased and hematocrit (Hct) was increased. Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that baseline diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (odds ratio 1.093, 95% CI 1.019-1.156, P = 0.012) and baseline TG (odds ratio 1.012, 95% CI 1.001-1.023, P = 0.026) were retained as independent predictors for the improvement of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels. Moreover, multivariate stepwise regression analyses revealed that changes in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (β - 0.264, 95% CI - 1.217 to 0.000, P = 0.049) and HbA1c (β 0.302, 95% CI 0.077-1.096, P = 0.025) were retained as independent predictors for changes in BMI. CONCLUSION Increasing the dose of empagliflozin significantly ameliorated BW, BMI, GGT, TG, fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c and increased Hct in patients with T2DM. Moreover, baseline DBP and TG were independent predictors for the improvement of HbA1c. These findings may provide useful information when considering increasing the dosage of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with T2DM who have inadequate glycemic control.

Efficacy and Safety of Empagliflozin in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Saudi Patients as Add-On to Antidiabetic Therapy: A Prospective, Open-Label, Observational Study. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11164769. [PMID: 36013008 PMCID: PMC9410062 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11164769] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2022] [Revised: 08/10/2022] [Accepted: 08/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) approved sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in 2018. The efficacy and safety of empagliflozin (EMPA) have been confirmed in the U.S., Europe, and Japan for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM); however, analogous evidence is lacking for Saudi T2DM patients. Therefore, the current study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of EMPA in Saudi patients (n = 256) with T2DM. This is a 12-week prospective, open-label, observational study. Adult Saudi patients with T2DM who had not been treated with EMPA before enrolment were eligible. The exclusion criteria included T2DM patients less than 18 years of age, adults with type one diabetes, pregnant women, paediatric population. The results related to efficacy included a significant decrease in haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (adjusted mean difference −0.93% [95% confidence interval (CI) −0.32, −1.54]), significant improvements in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) (−2.28 mmol/L [95% CI −2.81, −1.75]), and a reduction in body weight (−0.874 kg [95% CI −4.36, −6.10]) following the administration of 25 mg of EMPA once daily as an add-on to ongoing antidiabetic therapy after 12 weeks. The primary safety endpoints were the change in the mean blood pressure (BP) values, which indicated significantly reduced systolic and diastolic BP (−3.85 mmHg [95% CI −6.81, −0.88] and −0.06 mmHg [95% CI −0.81, −0.88], respectively) and pulse rate (−1.18 [95% CI −0.79, −3.15]). In addition, kidney function was improved, with a significant reduction in the urine albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR) (−1.76 mg/g [95% CI −1.07, −34.25]) and a significant increase in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (3.54 mL/min/1.73 m2 [95% CI 2.78, 9.87]). Furthermore, EMPA reduced aminotransferases (ALT) in a pattern (reduction in ALT > AST). The adjusted mean difference in the change in ALT was −2.36 U/L [95% CI −1.031, −3.69], while it was −1.26 U/L [95% CI −0.3811, −2.357] for AST and −1.98 U/L [95% CI −0.44, −3.49] for GGT. Moreover, in the EMPA group, serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL) significantly increased (0.29 mmol/L [95% CI 0.74, 0.15]), whereas a nonsignificant increase was seen in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (0.01 mmol/L [95% CI 0.19, 0.18]) along with a significant reduction in plasma triglyceride (TG) levels (−0.43 mmol/L [95% CI −0.31, −1.17]). Empagliflozin once daily is an efficacious and tolerable strategy for treating Saudi patients with insufficiently controlled T2DM as an add-on to ongoing antidiabetic therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Empagliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor, was licensed for treating type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Japan and elsewhere in recent years. We conducted a post-marketing surveillance study of empagliflozin in Japan. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This was a 3-year, prospective, multicenter, observational study of the safety and effectiveness of empagliflozin in T2D patients in Japanese clinical practice who had not previously received this medication. The primary endpoint was the incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). RESULTS Of 8145 patients enrolled from 1103 sites, 7931 received ≥1 dose of empagliflozin. Mean age was 58.7 years (10.5% aged ≥75), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) 8.0%, body mass index 28.1 kg/m2 (<20 kg/m2 in 2.1%); 63.0% were male and most had comorbidities (renal impairment in ~62%). Median treatment duration was 36.5 months. ADRs occurred in 1024 (12.91%) patients overall (serious ADRs in 2.09%) and 120 patients aged ≥75 years (14.46%). ADRs of special interest included hypoglycemia (0.44% of patients), urinary tract infections (1.07%), genital infections (0.66%), volume depletion (0.50%), diabetic ketoacidosis (0%), and lower limb amputation (0.04%). Overall mean change in HbA1c from baseline was -0.75%. CONCLUSIONS Empagliflozin is effective and generally well tolerated in Japanese patients, and ADRs are consistent with its known safety profile.

Relationship Between SGLT-2i and Ocular Diseases in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2022; 13:907340. [PMID: 35692406 PMCID: PMC9178099 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2022.907340] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2022] [Accepted: 04/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This meta-analysis was conducted to explore the association between sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is) and ocular diseases in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. METHODS PubMed, Cochrane Central Registry of Controlled Trials, Web of Science and Springer were searched for articles on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving T2DM patients treated with SGLT-2i versus placebo or other hypoglycemic agents published prior to August 2021. The primary outcome of this meta-analysis was incidence of ocular diseases, which was assessed using risk ratios (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). We reviewed 47 papers and compared the effect of SGLT-2i with the effect of the control groups (placebo and other hypoglycemic drugs) on the incidence of ocular diseases. RESULTS Compared with controls, overall SGLT-2i use in T2DM patients was not associated with incidences of cataract, glaucoma, retinal disease and vitreous disease. Ertugliflozin (RR=0.47, P=0.01) reduced the risk for retinal disease, while empagliflozin (RR=0.44, P=0.05) reduced the risk for diabetic retinopathy (DR) compared with controls. SGLT-2i (RR=0.50, P=0.02), perhaps empagliflozin (RR=0.47, P=0.06), reduced the risk of retinal disease compared with active hypoglycemic agents. Canagliflozin (RR=4.50, P=0.03) increased the risk for vitreous disease compared with placebo. CONCLUSIONS There was no significant correlation between overall SGLT-2i and ocular diseases (cataract, glaucoma, retinal disease, vitreous disease, corneal disease, conjunctival disease, uveal disease, eye haemorrhage and vision problems) in T2DM patients. Ertugliflozin and empagliflozin may protect against ocular diseases, but canagliflozin may promote ocular diseases.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in reducing the incidence of mortality and cardiovascular outcomes in adults with type 2 diabetes. Methods and Results We conducted a Bayesian meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors with placebo. We used meta‐regression to examine the association between treatment effects and control group event rates as measures of cardiovascular baseline risk. Fifty‐three randomized controlled trials were included in our synthesis. Empagliflozin, canagliflozin, and dapagliflozin reduced the incidence of all‐cause mortality (empagliflozin: rate ratio [RR], 0.79; 95% credibility interval [CrI], 0.63–0.97; canagliflozin: RR, 0.86; 95% CrI, 0.69–1.05; dapagliflozin: RR, 0.86; 95% CrI, 0.72–1.01) and cardiovascular mortality (empagliflozin: RR, 0.78; 95% CrI, 0.61–1.00; canagliflozin: RR, 0.83; 95% CrI, 0.63–1.05; dapagliflozin: RR, 0.88; 95% CrI, 0.71–1.08), with a 90.1% to 98.7% probability for the true RR to be <1.00 for both outcomes. There was little evidence for ertugliflozin and sotagliflozin versus placebo for reducing all‐cause and cardiovascular mortality. There was no association between treatment effects for all‐cause and cardiovascular mortality and the control group event rates. There was evidence for a reduction in the incidence of heart failure for empagliflozin, canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and ertugliflozin versus placebo (probability RR <1.00 of ≥99.3%) and weaker, albeit positive, evidence for acute myocardial infarction for the first 3 agents (probability RR <1.00 of 89.0%–95.2%). There was little evidence of any agent except canagliflozin for reducing the incidence of stroke. Conclusions Empagliflozin, canagliflozin, and dapagliflozin reduced the incidence of all‐cause and cardiovascular mortality versus placebo. Treatment effects of sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors versus placebo do not vary by baseline risk.

[PMID: 34164370 PMCID: PMC8215266 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2021.668368] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2021] [Accepted: 05/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Currently, the association between sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT-2i) and malignancy risk has yet to be fully elucidated. This meta-analysis aimed to determine the relationship between SGLT-2i and malignancy risk in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. Methods: We searched PubMed, ScienceDirect, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Web of Science to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published up to August 2020 related to T2D patients treated with SGLT-2i vs. placebo or other hypoglycemic agents. The meta-analysis's primary outcome was malignancies' incidence, and the results were evaluated using risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: We reviewed 76 articles (77 RCTs), comprising 45,162 and 43,811 patients in SGLT-2i and control groups, respectively. Compared with the control group, SGLT-2i had no significant association with augmented overall malignancy risk in T2D patients (RR = 1.05, 95% CI = 0.97–1.14, P = 0.20), but ertugliflozin may upsurge the risk (RR = 1.80, 95% CI = 1.02–3.17, P = 0.04). Compared with active hypoglycemic agents, dapagliflozin may increase (RR = 2.71, 95% CI = 1.46–6.43, P = 0.02) and empagliflozin may decrease (RR = 0.67, 95% CI = 0.45–0.98, P = 0.04) the malignancy risk. Compared with placebo, empagliflozin may exhibit risk increase (RR = 1.25, 95% CI = 1.05–1.49, P = 0.01), primarily in digestive system (RR = 1.48, 95% CI = 0.99–2.21, P = 0.05). Conclusions: Our results proposed that in diverse comparisons, ertugliflozin and dapagliflozin seemed to increase the malignancy risk in T2D patients. Empagliflozin may cause malignancy risk reduction compared with active hypoglycemic agents but increase overall risk primarily in the digestive system compared with placebo. In short, the relationship between SGLT-2i and malignancy in T2D patients remains unclear.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The goals of improving quality of life and increasing longevity are receiving growing amounts of attention. Body weight and lipid metabolism are closely related to various complications of diabetes. The aim of this study was to rank SGLT inhibitors according to their efficacy with regard to weight and evaluate the effect of SGLT inhibitors on lipid metabolism at 24 weeks of treatment. METHODS The Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Clinical Trials databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials involving patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus through June 2020. Two researchers independently screened and evaluated the selected studies and extracted the outcome indexes. ADDIS 1.16.5 and STATA 16 software were used to perform the network meta-analysis and draw the plots. RESULTS Ultimately, 36 studies were selected and included in this study. We found that all SGLT inhibitors were effective at reducing weight; canagliflozin was the most effective. SGLT inhibitors and placebo were not associated with significantly different serum cholesterol levels. SGLT inhibitors lowered serum triglyceride levels and increased serum high-density and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. SGLT inhibitors also reduced the level of alanine aminotransferase. CONCLUSIONS SGLT inhibitors can bring about weight loss in patients with T2DM and can also improve lipid metabolism. Therefore, patients with hyperlipidemia who have been unsuccessful at losing weight should consider taking SGLT inhibitors. In addition, SGLT inhibitors are hepatoprotective and appear to be safe for patients with mild to moderate liver dysfunction. TRIAL REGISTRATION CRD42020198516.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this analysis was to characterize the safety and tolerability of empagliflozin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who were randomized to empagliflozin (10/25 mg) or placebo in clinical trials. METHODS Pooled data from 20 trials were analyzed for patients with T2DM treated with empagliflozin 10 mg (n = 4858), empagliflozin 25 mg (n = 5057), or placebo (n = 4904). The dataset comprised 15 randomized phase I-III trials, an extension trial and dose escalation studies. Adverse events (AEs) were assessed descriptively in participants who took ≥ 1 dose of study drug. AE incidence rates per 100 patient-years were calculated to adjust for differences in drug exposure between trials. RESULTS Total exposure was 16,480 and 7857 patient-years in the pooled empagliflozin 10/25 mg and placebo groups, respectively. The incidence of any AEs, AEs leading to treatment discontinuation, severe AEs, and serious AEs was similar across groups. The frequency of serious AEs requiring hospitalization was 18.6% for the empagliflozin 10/25 mg group and 21.3% for the placebo group. The empagliflozin 10/25 mg group was not associated with a higher rate of confirmed hypoglycemia versus placebo, except in patients co-administered insulin and/or a sulfonylurea (31.5% vs. 30.2%, respectively). The incidence of events consistent with urinary tract infections (UTI) was also similar for the empagliflozin 10/25 mg group versus placebo (9.27 vs. 9.70/100 patient-years, respectively). History of UTI was identified as a risk factor for UTI during treatment. Events consistent with genital infections occurred more frequently with empagliflozin 10/25 mg than placebo (3.54 vs. 0.95/100 patient-years, respectively). The frequency of AEs consistent with volume depletion was similar across groups, but higher with empagliflozin 10/25 mg than placebo in patients aged 75 to < 85 years and those on loop diuretics at baseline. CONCLUSION This comprehensive analysis confirms that both empagliflozin 10 mg and 25 mg are well tolerated in patients with T2DM, reinforcing the established clinical safety profile of empagliflozin.

Abstract
Background The association between sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i’s) and lower extremity amputation is unclear. Purpose To systematically review randomized control trials (RCTs) and observational studies quantifying risk of lower extremity amputations associated with SGLT2i use. Data sources and study selection We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from January 2011 to February 2020 for RCTs and observational studies including lower extremity amputation outcomes for individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with SGLT2i’s vs. alternative treatments or placebo. Data extraction and synthesis Two reviewers independently extracted data. Main outcomes and measures Our primary outcome was risk of lower limb amputation. Secondary outcomes included peripheral arterial disease, peripheral vascular disease, venous ulcerations, and diabetic foot infections. We also evaluated the risk of bias. We conducted random and fixed effects relative risk meta-analysis of RCTs. Results After screening 2,006 studies, 12 RCTs and 18 observational studies were included, of which 7 RCTs and 18 observational studies had at least one event. The random effects meta-analysis of 7 RCTs suggested the absence of a statistically significant association between SGLT2i exposure with evidence of substantial statistical heterogeneity (n = 424/23,716 vs n = 267/18,737 in controls; RR 1.28, CI’s 0.93–1.76; I2 = 62.0%; p = 0.12) whereas fixed effects analysis showed an increased risk with statistical heterogeneity (RR 1.27, 1.09–1.48; I2 = 62%; p = 0.003). Subgroup analysis of canagliflozin vs placebo showed a statistically significantly increased risk in a fixed effects meta-analysis (n = 2 RCTs, RR 1.59, 1.26–2.01; I2 = 88%; p = 0.0001) whereas the meta-analysis of dapagliflozin or empagliflozin (n = 2 RCTs each) and a single RCT for ertugliflozin did not show a significantly increased risk. The findings from observational studies were too heterogeneous to be pooled in a meta-analysis and draw meaningful conclusions. Both randomized and observational studies were of generally good methodological quality. Conclusions Overall, there was no consistent evidence of SGLT2i exposure and increased risk of amputation. The increased risk of amputation seen in the large, long-term Canagliflozin Cardiovascular Assessment Study (CANVAS) trial for canagliflozin, and select observational studies, merits continued exploration.

Efficacy and safety of empagliflozin as add-on to insulin in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Diabetes Obes Metab 2020; 22:417-426. [PMID: 31692244 PMCID: PMC7065067 DOI: 10.1111/dom.13909] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2019] [Revised: 10/25/2019] [Accepted: 10/31/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
AIM To assess the efficacy and safety of empagliflozin as add-on to insulin in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). MATERIALS AND METHODS This multicentre, double-blind, parallel-group study randomized Japanese patients with T2D insufficiently controlled with insulin (1:1:1) to empagliflozin 10 mg (n=89), empagliflozin 25 mg (n=90) or placebo (n=90) for 52 weeks. The primary endpoint was change from baseline in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) at 16 weeks. RESULTS At 16 weeks, empagliflozin 10 mg and 25 mg significantly decreased HbA1c: adjusted mean difference -0.92% (95% confidence interval [CI] -1.11, -0.73) and -1.00% (95% CI -1.18, -0.82; both P<0.0001) compared with placebo. This difference was maintained up to 52 weeks: adjusted mean difference at 52 weeks -0.90% (95% CI -1.09, -0.70) and -0.96% (95% CI -1.15, -0.77; both P<0.0001). At 52 weeks, significant improvements in fasting plasma glucose (adjusted mean difference -27.62 mg/dL [95% CI -36.15, -19.08] and -31.99 mg/dL [95% CI -40.35, -23.62]) and in body weight (-1.78 kg [95% CI -2.46, -1.10] and -1.92 kg [95% CI -2.58, -1.25]) were also seen with empagliflozin 10 mg and 25 mg compared with placebo (all P<0.0001). At 52 weeks, the frequency of adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs was similar in the three treatment groups; confirmed hypoglycaemia was reported slightly more in participants in the empagliflozin 10 mg and 25 mg groups (23.3% and 22.2% vs 14.4%). All hypoglycaemic events were mild in severity; no episodes required assistance. CONCLUSIONS In Japanese patients with insufficiently controlled T2D, adding empagliflozin 10 mg or 25 mg to insulin treatment was associated with clinically meaningful reductions in HbA1c at 16 weeks and was generally well tolerated.
