Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels, which can cause many diseases, including osteoporosis, fractures, arthritis, and foot complications. The inhibitors of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), an enzyme involved in glucose metabolism regulation, are essential for managing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). The inhibition of DPP-4 has become a promising treatment approach for T2DM because it can increase levels of active glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), leading to improved insulin secretion in response to glucose and reduced release of glucagon. The review commences by elucidating the role of DPP-4 in glucose homeostasis and its significance in T2DM pathophysiology. Furthermore, it presents the mechanism of action, preclinical pharmacodynamics, clinical efficacy, and toxicity profiles of small-molecule DPP-4 inhibitors across various clinical stages. This comprehensive review provides valuable insights into the synthesis and clinical application of DPP-4 inhibitors, serving as an invaluable resource for researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical professionals interested in diabetes therapeutics and drug development.

Comparison of the effects of gemigliptin versus glimepiride on cardiac function in patients with type 2 diabetes uncontrolled with metformin: The gemi-heart study. Diabetes Obes Metab 2023; 25:2181-2190. [PMID: 37046365 DOI: 10.1111/dom.15095] [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: 01/16/2023] [Revised: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 04/10/2023] [Indexed: 04/14/2023]
Abstract
AIM To investigate the effects of gemigliptin on cardiac function and compare the effects of gemigliptin and glimepiride in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty T2D patients being treated with metformin were assigned to a gemigliptin group (50 mg daily) or a glimepiride group (2 mg daily) for 24 weeks. The preadjudicated extension period was up to 52 weeks. Glucose metabolism variables and cardiac biomarkers were measured. Echocardiography was used to evaluate cardiac functions. RESULTS The HbA1c levels decreased significantly from 8.1% ± 0.6% to 6.8% ± 0.6% in the gemigliptin group and from 8.1% ± 0.6% to 7.0% ± 0.7% in the glimepiride group, without a between-group difference. Gemigliptin reduced insulin resistance, high sensitivity C-reactive protein and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, and blood pressure, and increased adiponectin level compared with glimepiride therapy. Gemigliptin induced favourable changes in body composition. Left ventricular end-diastolic volume decreased in the gemigliptin group but increased in the glimepiride group, with a borderline between-group difference. Cardiac biomarkers did not change significantly in either group. At 52 weeks, the HbA1c levels in both groups increased slightly; 7.3% ± 0.8% in the gemigliptin group versus 7.7% ± 1.3% in the glimepiride group, without a between-group difference. CONCLUSIONS Gemigliptin had a comparable glucose-lowering efficacy without deleterious effects on cardiac functions or on biomarkers reflective of myocardial injury or heart failure during the 24-week observation period. However, larger, longer-term studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is rapidly becoming the most common disease worldwide in an era of rapid economic growth. NAFLD is a multifactorial disease, involving multiple genetic, metabolic, and environmental factors, and is closely associated with metabolic syndrome, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. NAFLD can be classified into nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFL) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which can both progress to cirrhosis and even hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Due to the enormous burden of NAFLD and its complications, no FDA-approved drugs for the treatment of NAFLD are on the market, and therapeutic targets and drug therapies are being actively investigated. In view of the various pathological mechanisms of NAFLD, numbers of preclinical studies and clinical trials have made rapid progress. This review mainly summarizes the most recently characterized mechanisms and therapeutic targets in each mechanism of NAFLD, focusing on the mechanism and application potential.

Anagliptin twice-daily regimen improves glycaemic variability in subjects with type 2 diabetes: A double-blind, randomized controlled trial. Diabetes Obes Metab 2022; 25:1174-1185. [PMID: 36564983 DOI: 10.1111/dom.14959] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2022] [Revised: 12/15/2022] [Accepted: 12/19/2022] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
AIM To determine whether the twice-daily (BID) regimen is superior to the once-daily (QD) regimen for managing glycaemic variability by comparing the effects of anagliptin 100 mg BID versus sitagliptin 100 mg QD. MATERIALS AND METHODS A double-blinded, randomized, multicentre study was performed in 89 patients with type 2 diabetes treated with metformin alone (6.5% < HbA1c < 8.5%). Subjects were randomly assigned to anagliptin 100 mg BID or sitagliptin 100 mg QD in a 1:1 ratio for 12 weeks. Continuous glucose monitoring was used to measure the mean amplitude of glycaemic excursion (MAGE) and postprandial time in range (TIR) before and after dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor treatment to compare glycaemic variability. RESULTS The decrease from baseline in MAGE at 12 weeks after DPP-4 inhibitor treatment was significantly greater in the anagliptin BID group than in the sitagliptin QD group (P < .05); -30.4 ± 25.6 mg/dl (P < .001) in the anagliptin group versus -9.5 ± 38.0 mg/dl (P = .215) in the sitagliptin group. The TIR after dinner increased by 33.0% ± 22.0% (P < .001) in the anagliptin group and by 14.6% ± 28.2% (P = .014) in the sitagliptin group, with a statistically significant difference (P = .009). No statistically significant differences were observed between the groups in the changes in HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose (FPG). CONCLUSIONS The anagliptin BID regimen for the treatment of type 2 diabetes was superior in blood glucose control after dinner to improve glycaemic variability, as indicated by MAGE and TIR, but was equivalent to the QD regimen in terms of HbA1c and FPG.

Abstract
PURPOSE Dysregulations of key signaling pathways in metabolic syndrome are multifactorial, eventually leading to cardiovascular events. Hyperglycemia in conjunction with dyslipidemia induces insulin resistance and provokes release of proinflammatory cytokines resulting in chronic inflammation, accelerated lipid peroxidation with further development of atherosclerotic alterations and diabetes. We have proposed a novel combinatorial approach using FDA approved compounds targeting IL-17a and DPP4 to ameliorate a significant portion of the clustered clinical risks in patients with metabolic syndrome. In our current research we have modeled the outcomes of metabolic syndrome treatment using two distinct drug classes. METHODS Targets were chosen based on the clustered clinical risks in metabolic syndrome: dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, impaired glucose control, and chronic inflammation. Drug development platform, BIOiSIM™, was used to narrow down two different drug classes with distinct modes of action and modalities. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of the most promising drugs were modeling showing predicted outcomes of combinatorial therapeutic interventions. RESULTS Preliminary studies demonstrated that the most promising drugs belong to DPP-4 inhibitors and IL-17A inhibitors. Evogliptin was chosen to be a candidate for regulating glucose control with long term collateral benefit of weight loss and improved lipid profiles. Secukinumab, an IL-17A sequestering agent used in treating psoriasis, was selected as a repurposed candidate to address the sequential inflammatory disorders that follow the first metabolic insult. CONCLUSIONS Our analysis suggests this novel combinatorial therapeutic approach inducing DPP4 and Il-17a suppression has a high likelihood of ameliorating a significant portion of the clustered clinical risk in metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP-4i) drugs, such as evogliptin, as the second-line drugs for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treatment have been reported to facilitate insulin secretion by reducing glucagon and inhibiting glucagon like peptides. With a vague consensus, the advantageous and non-inferior effects of evogliptin relative to other DPP-4i drugs were recently demonstrated on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels and overall adverse events in T2DM patients. Thus, the aim was to evaluate the overall influence of evogliptin on HbA1c levels and the adverse events in T2DM patients compared to sitagliptin and linagliptin. METHODS Complying with PRISMA guidelines, we conducted a systematic literature search in databases and a meta-analysis. Data about HbA1c levels and the adverse events of T2DM patients were collected and analyzed. RESULTS From 1,397 studies, we found five matched studies involving 845 subjects (mean age: 54.7 ± 3 years). The meta-analysis revealed that evogliptin was non-inferior to sitagliptin/linagliptin with a mean difference of 0.062 (95% CI: -0.092 to 0.215. I2: 0%. P = 0.431) regarding the HbA1c level reduction, and the risk ratio was -0.006 (95% CI: -0.272 to 0.260. I2: 1.7%. P = 0.966) regarding the adverse effects, indicating no significant difference between evogliptin and linagliptin or sitagliptin in affecting the HbA1c level and adverse effects. CONCLUSION The study provides preliminary evidence regarding the similarity in the efficacy of evogliptin compared to other DPP-4i drugs, including sitagliptin and linagliptin, for managing HbA1c levels and adverse events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the effects of teneligliptin on glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)-derived time in range, and glycemic variability in elderly type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. METHODS This randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study was conducted in eight centers in Korea (clinical trial registration number: NCT03508323). Sixty-five participants aged ≥65 years, who were treatment-naïve or had been treated with stable doses of metformin, were randomized at a 1:1 ratio to receive 20 mg of teneligliptin (n=35) or placebo (n=30) for 12 weeks. The main endpoints were the changes in HbA1c levels from baseline to week 12, CGM metrics-derived time in range, and glycemic variability. RESULTS After 12 weeks, a significant reduction (by 0.84%) in HbA1c levels was observed in the teneligliptin group compared to that in the placebo group (by 0.08%), with a between-group least squares mean difference of -0.76% (95% confidence interval [CI], -1.08 to -0.44). The coefficient of variation, standard deviation, and mean amplitude of glycemic excursion significantly decreased in participants treated with teneligliptin as compared to those in the placebo group. Teneligliptin treatment significantly decreased the time spent above 180 or 250 mg/dL, respectively, without increasing the time spent below 70 mg/dL. The mean percentage of time for which glucose levels remained in the 70 to 180 mg/dL time in range (TIR70-180) at week 12 was 82.0%±16.0% in the teneligliptin group, and placebo-adjusted change in TIR70-180 from baseline was 13.3% (95% CI, 6.0 to 20.6). CONCLUSION Teneligliptin effectively reduced HbA1c levels, time spent above the target range, and glycemic variability, without increasing hypoglycemia in our study population.

Efficacy and Tolerability of Evogliptin in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis with Bayesian Inference Through a Quality-management System. Clin Ther 2021; 43:1336-1355. [PMID: 34304912 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinthera.2021.06.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2021] [Revised: 05/28/2021] [Accepted: 06/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Evogliptin is one of the latest dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, and a number of clinical trials have been performed following its development, including several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) performed to evaluate its efficacy and tolerability. In our study, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of its efficacy and tolerability by collecting RCTs and confirmed the results with Bayesian inference. Moreover, an updated quality-management system was integrated into the study process of systematic review. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched for literature published between May 1990 and November 2020. We selected 6 homogeneous RCTs in 1017 subjects for efficacy and 1070 subjects for tolerability analysis. Regarding the efficacy profile, the mean differences from baseline (95% CIs) in hemoglobin (Hb) A1c and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) were generated as end points and derived from each study. Regarding the tolerability profile, risk ratios of adverse events (AEs), serious AEs, adverse drug reactions, and hypoglycemia were generated from baseline to outcome measurements as derived from each study. A subsequent meta-analysis was performed with Bayesian inference. FINDINGS For HbA1c and FPG, the results suggested a statistically significant improvement with evogliptin versus placebo (HbA1c, -0.44 [95% CI, -0.54 to -0.34; P < 0.00001] and posterior median, -0.38 [95% CI, -0.51 to -0.24]; FPG, -0.61 [95% CI, -0.90 to -0.31; P < 0.0001] and posterior median, -0.48 [95% CI, -0.90 to -0.16]), but no statistically significant difference with evogliptin versus other DPP-4 inhibitors (HbA1c, -0.01 [95% CI, -0.14 to 0.12] and posterior median, -0.06 [95% CI, -0.25 to 0.12]; FPG, 0.17 [95% CI, -0.10 to 0.44] and posterior median, 0.27 [95% CI, -0.12 to 0.65]). In terms of tolerability, the overall prevalence of adverse events, including hypoglycemia, was similar between evogliptin and other DPP-4 inhibitors and placebo. IMPLICATIONS Evogliptin appears more efficacious in terms of changes in HbA1c and FPG compared with placebo, with an efficacy comparable to those of other DPP-4 inhibitors, although with the limited data studied and the minuscule sample sizes, the predictions of posterior medians, mean differences, and risk ratios of HbA1c, FPG, and AEs by Bayesian inference were consistent with our findings through our quality-management system.

Abstract
AIM To assess whether the use of evogliptin, a novel dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP-4i), was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events compared with glimepiride in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS We conducted a population-based cohort study using South Korea's nationwide healthcare database from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2018. We identified a base cohort of patients with T2D who newly initiated metformin monotherapy, from which we identified a study cohort of patients who either added or switched to glimepiride or DPP-4is (including evogliptin). Patients were followed up from initiation of DPP-4is or glimepiride until the earliest of either outcome occurrence or 31 December 2018. Our primary outcome was hospitalization or an emergency visit for cardiovascular events, a composite endpoint comprised of cerebrovascular events, heart failure, myocardial infarction, transient ischaemic attack, angina pectoris and revascularization procedures; secondary outcomes were the individual components of the primary outcome. A multivariable Cox proportional hazards model was used to estimate adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the risk of study outcomes associated with evogliptin compared with glimepiride. RESULTS Our base and study cohorts had 317,307 and 128,788 patients, respectively, of which 100,038 were DPP-4i users (2946 were evogliptin users) and 28,750 were glimepiride users within the study cohort. The median follow-up was 195 days for evogliptin and 113 days for glimepiride users. Compared with glimepiride, evogliptin was associated with a reduced risk of the primary outcome (aHR 0.67, 95% CI 0.48-0.95) and cerebrovascular events (aHR 0.41, 95% CI 0.22-0.78) but showed non-significant associations for myocardial infarction (aHR 0.63, 95% CI 0.27-1.46), heart failure (aHR 0.35, 95% CI 0.09-1.47), transient ischaemic attack (aHR 0.23, 95% CI 0.03-1.72) and angina pectoris (aHR 1.35, 95% CI 0.82-2.21). CONCLUSIONS Findings from this population-based cohort study provide novel real-world evidence that the use of evogliptin, compared with glimepiride, did not increase the risk of cardiovascular events, including cerebrovascular events, myocardial infarction, heart failure, transient ischaemic attack and angina pectoris.

Abstract
Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) has been the sole surrogate marker for assessing diabetic complications. However, consistently reported limitations of HbA1c are that it lacks detailed information on short-term glycemic control and can be easily interfered with by various clinical conditions such as anemia, pregnancy, or liver disease. Thus, HbA1c alone may not represent the real glycemic status of a patient. The advancement of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has enabled both patients and healthcare providers to monitor glucose trends for a whole single day, which is not possible with HbA1c. This has allowed for the development of core metrics such as time spent in time in range (TIR), hyperglycemia, or hypoglycemia, and glycemic variability. Among the 10 core metrics, TIR is reported to represent overall glycemic control better than HbA1c alone. Moreover, various evidence supports TIR as a predictive marker of diabetes complications as well as HbA1c, as the inverse relationship between HbA1c and TIR reveals. However, there are more complex relationships between HbA1c, TIR, and other CGM metrics. This article provides information about 10 core metrics with particular focus on TIR and the relationships between the CGM metrics for comprehensive understanding of glycemic status using CGM.

Indian J Endocrinol Metab 2020; 24:434-445. [PMID: 33489850 PMCID: PMC7810058 DOI: 10.4103/ijem.ijem_418_20] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2020] [Revised: 07/30/2020] [Accepted: 09/21/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS No meta-analysis is available which has summarized and holistically analyzed the efficacy and safety of evogliptin. We undertook this meta-analysis to address this gap in knowledge. METHODS Electronic databases were searched for RCTs involving diabetes patients receiving evogliptin in intervention arm and placebo/active comparator in control arm. Primary outcome was to evaluate changes in HbA1c. Secondary outcomes were to evaluate alterations in fasting glucose, postprandial glucose, lipids, insulin resistance, patients achieving glycemic targets of HbA1c <7% and <6.5%, and adverse events. RESULTS From initially screened 57 articles, data from six RCTs involving 887 patients was analyzed [three having sitagliptin/linagliptin as active comparator; three having placebo in control group]. Evogliptin was noninferior to sitagliptin/linagliptin regarding HbA1c reduction at 12 weeks [mean difference (MD) -0.06%; 95%CI: -0.23-0.11%; P = 0.48] and 24 weeks (MD 0.04%; 95%CI: -0.11-0.19%; P = 0.60) follow-up. Evogliptin was superior to placebo regarding HbA1c reduction at 12-weeks (MD -0.57%; 95%CI: -0.62- -0.52%; P < 0.001) and 24 weeks (MD -0.28%; 95%CI: -0.47 - -0.09%; P = 0.004). Evogliptin was noninferior to sitagliptin/linagliptin regarding patients achieving HbA1c <7% and <6.5% at 12 weeks and 24 weeks follow-up. Total adverse events [Risk ratio (RR) 0.98; 95% CI: 0.72-1.32; P = 0.89] and severe adverse events (RR 0.65; 95% CI: 0.25-1.67; P = 0.37) were not significantly different among groups. Patients receiving evogliptin did not have increased symptomatic (RR 0.46; 95% CI: 0.10-2.16; P = 0.32) and asymptomatic (RR 1.09; 95% CI: 0.61-1.97; P = 0.77) hypoglycaemia. CONCLUSION Evogliptin is well tolerated and has good glycemic efficacy over 6 months use for T2DM management.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the efficacy and safety of evogliptin compared with linagliptin in patients with type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this 12-week, multicentre, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, and 12-week open-label extension study, a total of 207 patients with type 2 diabetes who had HbA1c levels of 7.0%-10.0% were randomized 1:1 to receive evogliptin 5 mg (n = 102) or linagliptin 5 mg (n = 105) daily for 12 weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint was the change from baseline HbA1c at week 12. The secondary endpoint was the change in the mean amplitude of glycaemic excursion (MAGE) assessed by continuous glucose monitoring. In the extension study conducted during the following 12 weeks, evogliptin 5 mg daily was administered to both groups: evogliptin/evogliptin group (n = 95) and linagliptin/evogliptin group (n = 92). RESULTS After 12 weeks of treatment, the mean change in HbA1c in the evogliptin group and in the linagliptin group was -0.85% and -0.75%, respectively. The between-group difference was -0.10% (95% CI: -0.32 to 0.11), showing non-inferiority based on a non-inferiority margin of 0.4%. The change in MAGE was -24.6 mg/dL in the evogliptin group and -16.7 mg/dL in the linagliptin group. These values were significantly lower than the baseline values in both groups. However, they did not differ significantly between the two groups. In the evogliptin/evogliptin group at week 24, HbA1c decreased by -0.94%, with HbA1c values of <7.0% in 80.2% of the patients. The incidence and types of adverse events were comparable between the two groups for 24 weeks. CONCLUSION In this study, the glucose-lowering efficacy of evogliptin was non-inferior to linagliptin. It was maintained at week 24 with a 0.94% reduction in HbA1c. Evogliptin therapy improved glycaemic variability without causing any serious adverse events in patients with type 2 diabetes.
