The Effect of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter Inhibitors on Renal Function as Adjunctive to Insulin in Adults with Type 1 Diabetes: An Updated Multilevel Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

[PMID: 38180713 PMCID: PMC10838855 DOI: 10.1007/s13300-023-01523-0] [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: 11/19/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION This systematic review aimed to summarize the existing evidence from published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the impact of sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT) inhibitors on albuminuria levels and renal function in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D). METHODS The literature search was performed through Medline (via PubMed), Cochrane Library, and Scopus until November 11, 2023. Double-independent study selection, data extraction, and quality assessment were performed. Evidence was pooled with three-level mixed-effects meta-analysis. RESULTS In total, 5221 participants with T1D among 11 RCTs were analyzed. All RCTs had low risk of bias according to the Cochrane Collaboration tool (RoB 2). SGLT inhibitors were associated with a significantly greater reduction in urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) compared to controls (MD = - 23.13%; 95% CI = [- 33.69, - 12.57]; P < 0.001; level of evidence high). On the basis of subgroup analysis, this effect was consistent across all available SGLT inhibitors, irrespective of the dosage. Finally, a neutral class effect was observed on the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR, MD = - 1.03 mL/min/1.73 m2; 95% CI = [- 2.26, 0.19]; P = 0.1; level of evidence moderate). Only empagliflozin was associated with a significant reduction in eGFR compared to placebo (MD = - 2.23 mL/min/1.73 m2; 95% CI = [- 3.62, - 0.84]; P = 0.002). CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that adjunctive therapy with SGLT inhibitors results in a significant reduction in albuminuria, while their use is associated with a neutral effect on creatinine clearance, as a measure of renal function. Future renal outcome trials are needed to assess SGLT inhibitors' role in the pharmacological armamentarium against diabetic nephropathy in T1D.

Real-world safety and effectiveness of dapagliflozin in people living with type 1 diabetes in Spain: The Dapa-ON multicenter retrospective study. DIABETES & METABOLISM 2024; 50:101501. [PMID: 38061425 DOI: 10.1016/j.diabet.2023.101501] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2023] [Revised: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/24/2023] [Indexed: 12/26/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess real-world safety and effectiveness of dapagliflozin in people living with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). METHODS We conducted a multicenter retrospective study in Spain including data from 250 people living with T1DM receiving dapagliflozin as add-on therapy to insulin (80.8 % on-label use). The number of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) events was calculated over a 12-month follow-up (primary outcome). Changes in body weight, HbA1c, total daily insulin dose, and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) metrics from baseline (at dapagliflozin prescription) to 12 months were also evaluated. RESULTS A total of five DKA events (2.4 % [95 % CI 0.3;4.5] were reported in patients with a 12-month follow-up, n = 207): two events related to insulin pump malfunction, two events related to concomitant illnesses, and one event related to insulin dose omission. DKA events were more frequent among insulin pump users than among participants on multiple daily injections (7.7 % versus 1.2 %). Four of the reported DKA events occurred within the first six months after initiation of dapagliflozin. No deaths or persistent sequelae due to DKA were reported. No severe hypoglycemia episodes were reported. Significant reductions in mean body weight (-3.3 kg), HbA1c (-0.6 %), and total daily insulin dose (-8.6 %), P < 0.001, were observed 12 months after dapagliflozin prescription. Significant improvements in TIR (+9.3 %), TAR (-7.2 %), TBR (-2.5 %), and coefficient of variation (-5.1 %), P < 0.001, were also observed in the subgroup of patients with available CGM data. Finally, an improvement in urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) was found among participants with UACR ≥ 30 mg/g at baseline (median decrease of 99 mg/g in UACR, P = 0.001). CONCLUSION The use of dapagliflozin in people living with T1DM has an appropriate safety profile after careful selection of participants and implementation of strategies to reduce the risk of DKA (i.e., prescribed according to the recommendations of the European Medicines Agency), and also leads to clinical improvements in this population.
