Abstract
Vildagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor is effective in reducing HbA1c levels in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) when administered as monotherapy, dual or triple combination therapy. In India, Vildagliptin is commonly prescribed in T2DM patients because it reduces mean amplitude of glycemic excursion (MAGE), has lower risk of hypoglycemia and is weight neutral. Early combination therapy with vildagliptin and metformin is effective and well-tolerated in patients with T2DM, regardless of age or ethnicity. In view of already existing data on vildagliptin and the latest emerging clinical evidence, a group of endocrinologists, diabetologists and cardiologists convened for an expert group meeting to discuss the role and various combinations of vildagliptin in T2DM management. This practical document aims to guide Physicians and Specialists regarding the different available strengths and formulations of vildagliptin for the initiation and intensification of T2DM therapy.

Abstract
Vildagliptin is one of the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors. This study aimed to compare vildagliptin exposure between 50-mg immediate-release (IR) and 100-mg new sustained-release (SR) tablets, and evaluate the food effect on the pharmacokinetics (PKs) of vildagliptin. A randomized, open-label, 3-period, 3-treatment, 6-sequence crossover study was conducted on healthy subjects. During each period, subjects received the SR tablet either in the fasted (T1) or high-fat fed (T2) state once a day, or IR tablets administered twice a day in the fasted state (R). Blood samples for PK analysis were obtained serially up to 24 hours after dosing. Thirty-four subjects completed the study. The geometric mean ratios for the Cmax and AUC0-24h of T1 to R were 1.15 and 0.89, respectively. The corresponding values of T2 to T1 were 0.94 and 1.07, respectively. Vildagliptin exposure over 24 hours was similar between the SR and IR tablets. In addition, the PK profiles of the SR tablets were not altered by food. The SR tablets can be administered without a food effect and be an alternative option to IR tablets.

Real-World Observational Study on Vildagliptin With Insulin (VIL-INS) or Vildagliptin and Metformin With Insulin (VIL-MET-INS) Therapy in Indian Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Cureus 2023; 15:e47190. [PMID: 38021574 PMCID: PMC10652290 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.47190] [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] [Accepted: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The therapeutic use of vildagliptin and insulin (VIL-INS) or vildagliptin and metformin in combination with insulin (VIL-MET-INS) in the Indian scenario has yet to be explored by generating real-world evidence. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the demographic, clinical characteristics, and treatment patterns of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Indian settings in the above context. METHODOLOGY This observational study conducted at 600 healthcare centers in India retrospectively analyzed data of adult patients with T2DM who had been treated with either vildagliptin with insulin or a combination of vildagliptin and metformin with insulin. Data were collected from medical records and analyzed by appropriate statistical tests. RESULTS A total of 12,603 patients with T2DM were included with a mean age of 53.4 years of which 63.8% were males. The majority of patients (n=6511; 51.7%) received a combination of vildagliptin and metformin on top of insulin. A significantly high proportion of patients in the age group of 18-40 years received this treatment compared to patients who were initiated on insulin treatment after vildagliptin and metformin combination (11.6% vs. 9.7%; P<0.001). Of all the patients, 70.0% were able to achieve target glycemic control with either VIS-INS or VIL-MET-INS. After treatment with VIL-INS or VIL-MET-INS, the mean glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels significantly decreased with a mean change of 1.46%. Out of all patients, 13.5% experienced weight changes during treatment, with 67.4% of them showing weight loss. A total of 68 patients reported hypoglycemic events and among them, 49 patients had mild hypoglycemic events. Physician global evaluation of efficacy and tolerability showed a majority of patients rated their experience as good to excellent (86.3% and 86.0%, respectively). CONCLUSION Both treatment regimens were effective in terms of reduced HbA1c to achieve glycemic control. Furthermore, it is well tolerated without an increase in the risk of hypoglycemia or weight gain. Hence, this therapy has favorable outcomes for T2DM management in Indian clinical settings.

Abstract
DPP-4 inhibition is an interesting line of therapy for treating Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and is based on promoting the incretin effect. Here, the authors have presented a brief appraisal of DPP-4 inhibitors, their modes of action, and the clinical efficiency of currently available drugs based on DPP-4 inhibitors. The safety profiles as well as future directions including their potential application in improving COVID-19 patient outcomes have also been discussed in detail. This review also highlights the existing queries and evidence gaps in DPP-4 inhibitor research. Authors have concluded that the excitement surrounding DPP-4 inhibitors is justified because in addition to controlling blood glucose level, they are good at managing risk factors associated with diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the therapeutic effects of two therapeutic strategies based on metformin hydrochloride/vildagliptin and liraglutide on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in obese patients. METHODS We retrospectively collected the clinical data of 107 obese patients (BMI>25 kg/m2) with T2DM treated in Second Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College (Wuhu, China) during 2019-2021, including 53 patients treated continuously with metformin hydrochloride/vildagliptin and 54 with liraglutide for 3 months. The changes in BMI, waist circumference, fasting blood glucose (FBG), postprandial blood glucose, HbA1C, fasting C-peptide, postprandial C-peptide, fasting insulin and postprandial insulin of the patients after treatment were compared between the two groups. RESULTS In both of the groups, the patients all showed significant reductions of BMI, waist circumference, FBG, postprandial blood glucose and HbA1C (all P < 0.05) with improved fasting and postprandial C-peptide levels after the treatments (P < 0.05). The two treatment regimens showed comparable blood glucoselowering effects, but liraglutide produced better effect in reducing waist circumference (P < 0.01). Neither of two regimens obviously affected insulin level of the patients (P>0.05). CONCLUSION Both metformin hydrochloride/vildagliptin and liraglutide have good therapeutic effects on T2DM in obese patients and can achieve good blood glucose and weight control, but liraglutide has a better effect for weight control.

Can metformin use reduce the risk of stroke in diabetic patients? A systematic review and meta-analysis. Diabetes Metab Syndr 2023; 17:102721. [PMID: 36791633 DOI: 10.1016/j.dsx.2023.102721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2022] [Revised: 01/21/2023] [Accepted: 01/27/2023] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Stroke and cardiovascular diseases are major causes of death and disability, especially among diabetic patients. Some studies have shown that metformin has been effective in preventing cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we aim to evaluate the effect of metformin on stroke in type 2 diabetic patients. METHODS A comprehensive search was conducted in Medline, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases from their inception till 1st July 2022. Randomized clinical trials (RCT) and cohort studies were included. Two independent researchers screened the records, extracted the data, and assessed the risk of bias and certainty of evidence. Findings were reported as risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). All statistical analyses were performed using the STATA 17.0 software package. RESULTS Analysis of 21 included studies with 1,392,809 patients demonstrated that metformin monotherapy was effective in reducing stroke risk in both RCTs (RR = 0.66, 95% CI: 0.50, 0.87 p = 0.004) and cohort studies (RR = 0.67, 95% CI: 0.55, 0.81, p < 0.0001). However, combined administration of metformin with other antihyperglycemic agents had no significant effect on stroke risk reduction in either the RCTs (RR = 0.92, 95% CI: 0.69, 1.22 p = 0.558) or the cohort studies (RR = 0.79, 95% CI: 0.59, 1.06, p = 0.122). CONCLUSION Low to moderate level of evidence in RCTs showed that metformin monotherapy could reduce stroke risk in type 2 diabetic patients. However, the preventive effect of metformin in stroke was not observed in patients who received a combination of metformin plus other hypoglycemic agents.
