Abstract
Background and objectives Sodium/glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have been shown to have a glucose-lowering effect related to carbohydrate intake. It has also been reported that the combined effect of incretin modulators and SGLT2i is useful in improving blood glucose and reducing blood glucose variability. However, there have been no reports examining the effects of these two drugs together and while considering carbohydrate intake in an outpatient setting. In the present study, Hi-Speed Food Analysis was used to assess the exact intake of carbohydrates, and the glucose-lowering effects of luseogliflozin, an SGLT2i, and incretin modulators were examined under high- and low-carbohydrate intakes. Methods Thirty-five enrolled diabetic patients continued their regular medications for one week. All patients took luseogliflozin in the second week for seven days. During the two weeks, ingested carbohydrates were accurately calculated by Hi-Speed Food Analysis. The glucose-lowering effect of luseogliflozin with and without incretin modulators was checked according to the amount of ingested carbohydrates. A general linear model (GLM) was used to analyze the effect of luseogliflozin with or without an incretin modulator, with carbohydrate intake as a confounding factor. Results Luseogliflozin had an additive effect in patients who had taken the incretin modulator. There was a significant decrease in the time above range (TAR) with glucose above 140 mg/dL as expressed as TAR(min140), and this effect was affected by carbohydrate intake. Conclusions The glucose-lowering effect of luseogliflozin was enhanced with high-carbohydrate intake more than with low-carbohydrate intake. In this study, the observed number was small; however, combined treatment with an incretin modulator and luseogliflozin had an additive effect in high- versus low-carbohydrate intake, indicating the possible effectiveness of the combined therapy.

Abstract
AIMS Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors treat type 2 diabetes through incretin-signaling pathways. This study compared the efficacy and safety of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist exenatide once-weekly (Miglyol) suspension for autoinjection (QWS-AI) with the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor sitagliptin or placebo. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this open-label, multicentre study of patients with type 2 diabetes who had suboptimal glycaemic control on metformin monotherapy, 365 patients were randomized to receive exenatide 2.0 mg QWS-AI, sitagliptin 100 mg once daily or oral placebo (3:2:1 ratio). The primary endpoint was change in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) from baseline to 28 weeks. RESULTS At 28 weeks, exenatide QWS-AI significantly reduced HbA1c from baseline compared to sitagliptin (-1.13% vs -0.75% [baseline values, 8.42% and 8.50%, respectively]; P = .02) and placebo (-0.40% [baseline value, 8.50%]; P = .001). More exenatide QWS-AI-treated patients achieved HbA1c <7.0% than did sitagliptin- or placebo-treated patients (43.1% vs 32.0% and 24.6%; both P < .05). Exenatide QWS-AI and sitagliptin reduced fasting plasma glucose from baseline to 28 weeks (-21.3 and -11.3 mg/dL) vs placebo (+9.6 mg/dL), with no significant difference between the 2 active treatments. Body weight decreased with both active treatments (-1.12 and -1.19 kg), but not with placebo (+0.15 kg). No improvement in blood pressure was observed in any group. The most common adverse events with exenatide QWS-AI were gastrointestinal events and injection-site reactions. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that exenatide QWS-AI reduced HbA1c more than sitagliptin or placebo and was well tolerated.

Effects of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors on beta-cell function and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes: meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Sci Rep 2017; 7:44865. [PMID: 28322294 PMCID: PMC5359588 DOI: 10.1038/srep44865] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2016] [Accepted: 02/15/2017] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors are a novel family of glucose-lowering agents. Accumulating evidence suggests that DPP-4 inhibitors preserve pancreatic beta-cell function, but results in previous studies have been inconsistent. We assessed the effects of DPP-4 inhibitors on the homoeostasis model assessment beta-cell function (HOMA-B) or insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index in patients with type 2 diabetes through a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Relevant articles were identified from PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases up to December 27, 2016. We calculated weighted mean differences (WMDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) in each included trial and pooled the data using a random-effects model. Fifty-two trials were included in the present analysis. Compared with placebo control, DPP-4 inhibitors as monotherapy significantly improved HOMA-B (WMD 9.15; 95% CI 7.48, 10.81). Similarly, DPP-4 inhibitors as add-on therapy in combination with other drugs showed significant improvement in HOMA-B (WMD 9.04; 95% CI 5.72, 12.37). However, we found no significant improvement in HOMA-IR following treatment with DPP-4 inhibitors as mono-therapy or as add-on therapy. In conclusion, DPP-4 inhibitors as monotherapy or as add-on therapy significantly improved beta-cell function but had no significant effect on insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes.

Clinical Effectiveness of Liraglutide vs Sitagliptin on Glycemic Control and Body Weight in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Retrospective Assessment in Sweden. Diabetes Ther 2016; 7:321-33. [PMID: 27216947 PMCID: PMC4900983 DOI: 10.1007/s13300-016-0173-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2016] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of the present study was to use real-world data from Swedish primary-care and national registries to understand clinical outcomes in patients with Type 2 diabetes (T2D) treated with liraglutide in clinical practice, and to compare with data from those treated with sitagliptin. METHODS This was a non-interventional, retrospective study conducted between February 2014 and September 2014 using T2D patient data from Swedish primary-care centers and national healthcare registries. The primary objective was to assess the effectiveness of liraglutide in control of glycemia and body weight in clinical practice (stage 1). The secondary objective was to compare the clinical effectiveness of liraglutide with sitagliptin on glycemic control and body weight in clinical practice in a propensity-score-matched population (stage 2). RESULTS In stage 1 (n = 402), 39.4% of patients treated with liraglutide achieved ≥1.0% (10.9 mmol/mol) reduction in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) after 180 days of treatment and 54.9% achieved the target HbA1c of <7.0% (53.0 mmol/mol). Moreover, compared with baseline, 22.5% of patients treated with liraglutide achieved both ≥1.0% reduction in HbA1c and ≥3.0% reduction in body weight. In stage 2, a significantly greater proportion of patients receiving liraglutide (n = 180) than sitagliptin (n = 208) achieved ≥1.0% reduction in HbA1c [52.9% vs 33.5%, respectively (P = 0.0002)]. Mean body-weight loss was also significantly greater in patients receiving liraglutide vs sitagliptin [-3.5 vs -1.3 kg, respectively (P < 0.0001)]. CONCLUSION This study provides real-world evidence from Sweden corroborating previous clinical trials that demonstrate greater efficacy of liraglutide over sitagliptin on glycemic control and body-weight reduction in patients with T2D.

Abstract
Sitagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor, was the first in its class to receive approval from the US FDA in 2006 for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. It has been evaluated in numerous clinical trials and has several attractive features as an antidiabetic agent, including a low risk for hypoglycemia, a neutral effect on weight, and an ability to be used in chronic kidney disease and more. This article provides an up-to-date discussion of the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, clinical efficacy, safety and tolerability of sitagliptin.
