Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors for the prevention of atrial fibrillation: a systemic review and meta-analysis. Eur J Prev Cardiol 2024; 31:770-779. [PMID: 37966828 DOI: 10.1093/eurjpc/zwad356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2023] [Revised: 10/22/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/16/2023]
Abstract
AIMS Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are reported to have cardiac benefits. The effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on the prevention of atrial fibrillation (AF) remain inconclusive. We aimed to investigate whether SGLT2 inhibitors can prevent AF occurrence in patients with cardiometabolic diseases. METHODS AND RESULTS We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane CENTRAL database up to 1 July 2023. Randomized, placebo-controlled trials of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with diabetes, heart failure, chronic kidney diseases (CKDs), or cardiometabolic risk factors were included. The primary outcome was AF occurrence. Relative risks (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated in the overall population and selected subgroups. Forty-six trials comprising 101 100 patients were included. Overall, no significant risk reduction of AF occurrence was observed with SGLT2 inhibitors, although there was a favourable trend (RR 0.90, 95% CI 0.80-1.01). In trials with follow-up durations of over 1 year, a similar result was achieved (RR 0.90, 95% CI 0.80-1.01). The results were consistent across different SGLT2 inhibitors, with RRs (95% CIs) of 0.82 (0.60-1.12) for canagliflozin, 0.87 (0.73-1.03) for dapagliflozin, 0.97 (0.78-1.22) for empagliflozin, 0.99 (0.66-1.50) for sotagliflozin, and 0.87 (0.58-1.29) for ertugliflozin. Analyses in different doses of SGLT2 inhibitors yielded similar results. The associations between SGLT2 inhibitors and AF occurrence were also absent in patients with diabetes, heart failure, and CKDs. CONCLUSION For patients with cardiometabolic diseases or risk factors, SGLT2 inhibitors did not decrease the risk of AF occurrence, regardless of follow-up duration, type or dose of the drug, or the patient population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) represent a new type of hypoglycemic medicine that can cause massive loss of glucose from the urine, which have several benefits of reducing body weight and improving the prognosis of cardiovascular and kidney diseases. Although they are oral medicated hypoglycemic agents, their effects on the gut microbiome and function have been unclear. OBJECTIVE In order to describe the effects of canagliflozin on intestinal flora and metabolites, diabetic mice were randomized to receive canagliflozin or isoconcentration carboxymethylcellulose sodium by gavage for 8 weeks. Feces were collected for 16 S rRNA gene and LC-MS/MS analysis and enriched metabolic pathways through Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). Liver, muscle, intestinal, fat were collected for qRT-PCR according to KEGG enriched metabolic pathways. RESULTS Our results showed that canagliflozin significantly increased GLP-1 level and impacted on the composition of gut microbiota and metabolites. It mainly increased Muribaculum, Ruminococcaceae_UCG_014, Lachnospiraceae-UCG-001, decreased ursodeoxycholic acids (UDCA) and hyodeoxycholic acids (HDCA), and increased fatty acids metabolites in feces. CONCLUSION In conclusion, we analyzed the changes of intestinal microbial composition and metabolites in diabetic mice after canagliflozin intervention and found that canagliflozin influenced intestinal fatty acid and bile acid (BA) metabolism. This study will provide reference for subsequent SGLT2i and intestinal related research.

Comparative safety of different recommended doses of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2023; 14:1256548. [PMID: 38027214 PMCID: PMC10667926 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1256548] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/25/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective The safety results of different recommended doses of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remain uncertain. This study aims to comprehensively estimate and rank the relative safety outcomes with different doses of SGLT-2i for T2DM. Methods PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, ClinicalTrials.gov, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang database, and SinoMed database were searched from the inception to 31 May 2023. We included double-blind randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing SGLT-2i with placebo or another antihyperglycemic as oral monotherapy in the adults with a diagnosis of T2DM. Results Twenty-five RCTs with 12,990 patients randomly assigned to 10 pharmacological interventions and placebo were included. Regarding genital infections (GI), all SGLT-2i, except for ertugliflozin and ipragliflozin, were associated with a higher risk of GI compared to placebo. Empagliflozin 10mg/d (88.2%, odds ratio [OR] 7.90, 95% credible interval [CrI] 3.39 to 22.08) may be the riskiest, followed by empagliflozin 25mg/d (83.4%, OR 7.22, 95%CrI 3.11 to 20.04)) and canagliflozin 300mg/d (70.8%, OR 5.33, 95%CrI 2.25 to 13.83) based on probability rankings. Additionally, dapagliflozin 10mg/d ranked highest for urinary tract infections (UTI, OR 2.11, 95%CrI 1.20 to 3.79, 87.2%), renal impairment (80.7%), and nasopharyngitis (81.6%) when compared to placebo and other treatments. No increased risk of harm was observed with different doses of SGLT-2i regarding hypoglycemia, acute kidney injury, diabetic ketoacidosis, or fracture. Further subgroup analysis by gender revealed no significantly increased risk of UTI. Dapagliflozin 10mg/d (91.9%) and canagliflozin 300mg/d (88.8%) ranked first in the female and male subgroups, respectively, according to the probability rankings for GI. Conclusion Current evidence indicated that SGLT-2i did not significantly increase the risk of harm when comparing different doses, except for dapagliflozin 10mg/d, which showed an increased risk of UTI and may be associated with a higher risk of renal impairment and nasopharyngitis. Additionally, compared with placebo and metformin, the risk of GI was notably elevated for empagliflozin 10mg/d, canagliflozin 300mg/d, and dapagliflozin 10mg/d. However, it is important to note that further well-designed RCTs with larger sample sizes are necessary to verify and optimize the current body of evidence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the association between sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2-I) and gout incidence in patients with diabetes is the objective. METHOD National administrative data from the United States Veterans Health Administration were used to identify patients initiated on SGLT2-I from 2012 to 2020. Sequence symmetry analysis was performed to contrast the number of patients with incident gout within the year following SGLT2-I initiation to the number within the year preceding initiation. Exposure counterfactual analyses examined the relationship between potential therapeutic alternatives to SGLT2-I and risk for gout. RESULTS The primary outcome of incident gout was observed in 441 patients preceding SGLT2-I initiation and 273 patients following SGTL2-I (symmetry ratio (SR) = 0.62; 95% CI: 0.53-0.72). This finding remained consistent across multiple sensitivity analyses. A reduction in gout incidence was also observed in exposure counterfactual cohorts initiating dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (SR = 0.67; 95% CI: 0.63-0.72) and thiazolidinediones (SR = 0.72; 95% CI: 0.65-0.79), but not glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP1-RA) (SR = 0.93; 95% CI: 0.77-1.12). CONCLUSIONS The risk for incident gout was significantly reduced following SGLT2-I initiation. GLP1-RA had minimal to no impact on gout risk. Our findings support pleiotropic benefits of SGLT2-I use in patients with diabetes at elevated risk for gout. Key points • Early studies suggest SGLT2-inhibitors may decrease risk for gout • Our sequence symmetry analysis confirmed this observation • DPP4s and thiazolidinediones were also associated with lower gout risk • SLGT2 inhibitors may be beneficial in patients with diabetes at risk for gout.

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.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are antidiabetic drugs affecting SGLT2. Recent studies have shown various cancers expressing SGLT2, and SGLT2 inhibitors attenuating tumor proliferation. We evaluated the antitumor activities of canagliflozin, a SGLT2 inhibitor, on glioblastoma (GBM). Three GBM cell lines, U251MG (human), U87MG (human), and GL261 (murine), were used. We assessed the expression of SGLT2 of GBM through immunoblotting, specimen-use, cell viability assays, and glucose uptake assay with canagliflozin. Then, we assessed phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), p70 S6 kinase, and S6 ribosomal protein by immunoblotting. Concentrations of 5, 10, 20, and 40 μM canagliflozin were used in these tests. We also evaluated cell viability and immunoblotting using U251MG with siRNA knockdown of SGLT2. Furthermore, we divided the mice into vehicle group and canagliflozin group. The canagliflozin group was administrated with 100 mg/kg of canagliflozin orally for 10 days starting from the third days post-GBM transplant. The brains were removed and the tumor volume was evaluated using sections. SGLT2 was expressed in GBM cell and GBM allograft mouse. Canagliflozin administration at 40 μM significantly inhibited cell proliferation and glucose uptake into the cell. Additionally, canagliflozin at 40 μM significantly increased the phosphorylation of AMPK and suppressed that of p70 S6 kinase and S6 ribosomal protein. Similar results of cell viability assays and immunoblotting were obtained using siRNA SGLT2. Furthermore, although less effective than in vitro, the canagliflozin group significantly suppressed tumor growth in GBM-transplanted mice. This suggests that canagliflozin can be used as a potential treatment for GBM.

Choice of Glucose-Lowering Drugs as Initial Monotherapy for Type 2 Diabetes Patients with Contraindications or Intolerance to Metformin: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11237094. [PMID: 36498669 PMCID: PMC9740076 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11237094] [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: 10/31/2022] [Revised: 11/24/2022] [Accepted: 11/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND There are multiple glucose-lowering drugs available as alternative initial monotherapy for type 2 diabetes patients with contraindications or intolerance to metformin. However, little comparative and systematic data are available for them as initial monotherapy. This study estimated and compared the treatment effects of glucose-lowering drugs as initial monotherapy for type 2 diabetes. METHODS PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CNKI, Chongqing VIP, and WanFang Data from 1 January 1990 until 31 December 2020 were searched for randomized controlled trials which compared a glucose-lowering drug with placebo/lifestyle-intervention for type 2 diabetes. Drug classes included metformin, sulfonylureas (SUs), thiazolidinediones (TZDs), glinides (NIDEs), α-glucosidase inhibitors (AGIs), dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4is), sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is), insulins (INSs), and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs). RESULTS A total of 185 trials were included, identifying 38,376 patients from 56 countries across six continents. When choosing an initial drug monotherapy alternative to metformin, SUs were most efficacious in reducing HbA1c (-1.39%; 95% CI -1.63, -1.16) and FPG (-2.70 mmol/L; 95% CI -3.18, -2.23), but increased hypoglycemia risks (5.44; 95% CI 2.11, 14.02). GLP-1RAs were most efficacious in reducing BMI (-1.05 kg/m2; 95% CI -1.81, -0.29) and TC (-0.42 mmol/L; 95% CI -0.61, -0.22). TZDs were most efficacious in increasing HDL-C (0.12 mmol/L; 95% CI 0.07, 0.17). SGLT2is were most efficacious in lowering SBP (-4.18 mmHg; 95% CI -4.84, -3.53). While AGIs conferred higher risk of AE-induced discontinuations (2.57; 95% CI 1.64, 4.03). Overall, only GLP-1RAs showed an integrated beneficial effect on all outcomes. Our results also confirmed the intraclass differences in treatment effects across drugs. Most trials were short-term, and no significant differences in mortality, total vascular events, myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, or diabetic nephropathy were observed across drug classes. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest a potential treatment hierarchy for decision-makers, with GLP-1RAs being the preferred alternative therapy to metformin regarding their favorable efficacy and safety profiles.

Abstract
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus continues to increase in many Asian countries, with possible contributing factors, such as younger-onset disease, diabetes development at lower body mass index, higher visceral fat accumulation and poorer β-cell function, among Asian populations. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors have been shown to confer favorable effects in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, such as improved glycemic control, weight and blood pressure reduction, and importantly, cardiorenal benefits. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors are generally well-tolerated, and have a well-defined safety profile based on evidence from numerous clinical trials and post-marketing pharmacovigilance reporting. To our knowledge, this review is the first to provide a comprehensive coverage of the adverse events of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, as well as their management and counseling aspects for Asian type 2 diabetes mellitus populations.

Differential In Vitro Effects of SGLT2 Inhibitors on Mitochondrial Oxidative Phosphorylation, Glucose Uptake and Cell Metabolism. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23147966. [PMID: 35887308 PMCID: PMC9319636 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23147966] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2022] [Revised: 07/07/2022] [Accepted: 07/09/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) The cardio-reno-metabolic benefits of the SGLT2 inhibitors canagliflozin (cana), dapagliflozin (dapa), ertugliflozin (ertu), and empagliflozin (empa) have been demonstrated, but it remains unclear whether they exert different off-target effects influencing clinical profiles. (2) We aimed to investigate the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on mitochondrial function, cellular glucose-uptake (GU), and metabolic pathways in human-umbilical-vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). (3) At 100 µM (supra-pharmacological concentration), cana decreased ECAR by 45% and inhibited GU (IC5o: 14 µM). At 100 µM and 10 µM (pharmacological concentration), cana increased the ADP/ATP ratio, whereas dapa and ertu (3, 10 µM, about 10× the pharmacological concentration) showed no effect. Cana (100 µM) decreased the oxygen consumption rate (OCR) by 60%, while dapa decreased it by 7%, and ertu and empa (all 100 µM) had no significant effect. Cana (100 µM) inhibited GLUT1, but did not significantly affect GLUTs’ expression levels. Cana (100 µM) treatment reduced glycolysis, elevated the amino acids supplying the tricarboxylic-acid cycle, and significantly increased purine/pyrimidine-pathway metabolites, in contrast to dapa (3 µM) and ertu (10 µM). (4) The results confirmed cana´s inhibition of mitochondrial activity and GU at supra-pharmacological and pharmacological concentrations, whereas the dapa, ertu, and empa did not show effects even at supra-pharmacological concentrations. At supra-pharmacological concentrations, cana (but not dapa or ertu) affected multiple cellular pathways and inhibited GLUT1.

Efficacy and Safety of Metformin Versus the Other Oral Antidiabetic Drugs in Japanese Type 2 Diabetes Patients: A Network Meta-analysis. Adv Ther 2022; 39:632-654. [PMID: 34846709 PMCID: PMC8799586 DOI: 10.1007/s12325-021-01979-1] [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: 09/13/2021] [Accepted: 10/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Introduction Although metformin is recommended as a first-line treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Western countries, no specific treatment is recommended in Japan, and various agents are used. Metformin has long been used at low doses in Japan, and information regarding its effect at the maximum maintenance dose is lacking. Here, we compared the efficacy and safety of metformin at 1500 mg/day with those of the other oral anti-diabetic drugs (OADs) approved in Japan. Methods Randomized controlled trials comparing a change in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) from baseline at 12 weeks or later (ΔHbA1c) among OADs (including placebo) as a first-line treatment in adult patients with T2D were selected by systematic review with comprehensive searching of CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Ichushi Web, and EMBASE and manual searching of clinical trial registries. The ΔHbA1c and incidence of hypoglycemia were compared among OAD treatments using Bayesian network meta-analysis (NMA). The relative risk (RR) of the incidence of hypoglycemia was determined relative to that of placebo. Results Forty-six randomized controlled trials were identified in the systematic review, and 37 studies, comprising 38 different types of treatments, including placebos, were selected for the NMA of ΔHbA1c. Compared with metformin 1500 mg/day, 20 OAD treatments were significantly less effective in reducing HbA1c from baseline (differences from metformin 1500 mg/day: 0.40–0.96%). Two treatments (glimepiride 2 mg/day and pioglitazone 45 mg/day) showed greater mean reductions in HbA1c from baseline than metformin 1500 mg/day (− 0.38% and − 0.03%), although these differences were not significant. Regarding the incidence of hypoglycemia, only pioglitazone 30 mg/day among 31 treatments showed a lower RR (< − 0.01), whereas 23 treatments showed a significantly higher RR (1.02–66.71) than metformin 1500 mg/day. Conclusion The NMA suggested a preferable efficacy and safety profile of metformin 1500 mg/day compared with the other OADs approved in Japan.

Real-World Safety and Effectiveness of Canagliflozin Treatment for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Japan: SAPPHIRE, a Long-Term, Large-Scale Post-Marketing Surveillance. Adv Ther 2022; 39:674-691. [PMID: 34853985 PMCID: PMC8799573 DOI: 10.1007/s12325-021-01984-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2021] [Accepted: 11/02/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION This long-term post-marketing surveillance (SAPPHIRE) collected information on the safety and effectiveness of canagliflozin (approved dose 100 mg) prescribed to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in real-world practice in Japan. METHODS Patients with T2DM who were prescribed canagliflozin between December 2014 and September 2016 were registered and observed for up to 3 years. Safety was evaluated in terms of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Effectiveness was assessed in terms of glycaemic control. Data were also analysed across age subgroups (< 65, ≥ 65 to < 75, and ≥ 75 years old) and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) categories for chronic kidney disease (G1-G5 based on eGFR) at baseline. RESULTS A total of 12,227 patients were included in the safety analyses and 11,675 in effectiveness analyses. Overall, 7104 patients were treated with canagliflozin for ≥ 3 years. The mean age, haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and eGFR at baseline were 58.4 ± 12.5 years, 8.01 ± 1.49%, and 80.04 ± 21.85 mL/min/1.73 m2, respectively. There were 1836 ADRs in 1312 patients (10.73%) and 268 serious ADRs in 225 patients (1.84%). The most common ADRs were those related to volume depletion (1.39%), genital infection (1.34%), polyuria/pollakiuria (1.23%), and urinary tract infection (1.19%). The frequencies of ADRs tended to increase with age and stage of chronic kidney disease. The reductions in mean HbA1c after starting canagliflozin were maintained for up to 3 years with a mean change of - 0.68% (n = 6345 at 3 years). Maintained reductions in mean HbA1c were observed in each age subgroup and in patients with G1-G3b renal function. CONCLUSION This surveillance in real-world clinical practice showed that canagliflozin provides sustained glucose-lowering effects in patients with T2DM, including elderly patients and patients with moderate renal impairment, without new safety concerns beyond those already described in the Japanese package insert.

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: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [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
AIMS The present study is aimed at exploring the effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors on weight in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and therapeutic regimen recommendations. METHODS 20,019 patients with T2DM were enrolled. The maximal effect (E max) models, whose evaluation index was change rate of body weight from baseline value, were used to analyze data using nonlinear mixed effect modeling (NONMEM). RESULTS For SGLT-2 inhibitors, canagliflozin, empagliflozin, ertugliflozin, ipragliflozin, luseogliflozin and tofogliflozin, the E max, and treatment duration to reach half of the maximal effects (ET50) were -3.72% and 3.35 weeks, -5.59% and 16.8 weeks, -2.84% and 3.42 weeks, -3.43% and 3.09 weeks, -3.04% and 4.38 weeks, and -2.45% and 3.16 weeks, respectively. In addition, for T2DM patients, 100 mg/day canagliflozin needs to be taken 13.4 weeks for the plateau of effect on weight; 10 mg/day empagliflozin needs to be taken 67.2 weeks for the plateau of effect on weight; 5 mg/day ertugliflozin needs to be taken 13.68 weeks for the plateau of effect on weight; 50 mg/day ipragliflozin needs to be taken 12.36 weeks for the plateau of effect on weight; 2.5 mg/day luseogliflozin needs to be taken 17.52 weeks for the plateau of effect on weight; 20 mg/day tofogliflozin needs to be taken 12.64 weeks for the plateau of effect on weight. CONCLUSIONS This was the first study to explore effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors on weight in T2DM; meanwhile, the optimum dosages and treatment durations on weight from canagliflozin, empagliflozin, ertugliflozin, ipragliflozin, luseogliflozin, and tofogliflozin were recommended, respectively.

Abstract
The safety profiles of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors may depend on races/ethnicities. We aimed to assess the safety profiles of SGLT2 inhibitors in Japanese patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). The electronic databases MEDLINE, CENTRAL, and Ichushi-web were searched for studies with no language restriction from their inception to August 2019. Trials were included in the analysis if they were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors with a placebo in Japanese patients with DM > 18 years and reporting HbA1c and at least 1 adverse event. We calculated risk ratios with 95% CIs and used a random-effects model. Of the 22 RCTs included in our review, only 1 included patients with type 1 DM. The durations of RCTs ranged between 4 and 24 weeks. In comparison with a placebo, SGLT2 inhibitors were associated with similar risks of hypoglycemia, urinary tract infection, genital infection, hypovolemia, and fracture. The outcomes of treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors among Japanese patients with DM suggest favorable safety profiles. However, further evidence from studies with a longer duration, involving more diverse populations, such as patients with different types of DM, or including individual SGLT2 inhibitors is needed to resolve the limitations of the present study.

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 Cardiac arrhythmias are associated with poorer outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF), diabetes mellitus (DM), and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Previous studies have shown inconsistent conclusions regarding the association between sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and the risk of developing arrhythmias. This study aims to investigate the association of SGLT2i treatment with arrhythmia outcomes in clinical trials of patients with HF, DM, or CKD. Methods MEDLINE, EMBASE, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched from inception up to 27 August 2020. Randomized controlled trials that randomized patients with DM, CKD, or HF to SGLT2i or placebo were included. The outcomes of interest include atrial fibrillation (AF), embolic stroke, atrial flutter (AFL), AF/AFL, ventricular tachycardia (VT), and cardiac arrest. Relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were pooled using a random-effects model. Results Out of 4,532 citations, 22 trials with altogether 52,115 patients were included (mean age 63.2 years; 33,747 [64.8%] of participants were men). SGLT2i were associated with a lower risk of AF (RR 0.82, 95% CI 0.70–0.96), embolic stroke (RR 0.32, 95% CI 0.12–0.85), AF/AFL (RR 0.82, 95% CI 0.71–0.95), and VT (RR 0.73, 95% CI 0.53–0.99), while the risk reductions in AFL (RR 0.83, 95% CI 0.58–1.17) and cardiac arrest (RR 0.83, 95% CI 0.61–1.14) did not reach statistical significance. The associations appeared to be consistent across different baseline conditions (DM vs CKD vs HF; atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease [ASCVD] vs no ASCVD) and the SGLT2i used. Conclusions SGLT2i reduced the risk of cardiac arrhythmias. Our study provides further evidence for recommending the use of SGLT2i in patients with DM, CKD, and HF. Further research is needed to fully elucidate the mechanism by which SGLT2i protect against arrhythmias.

Abstract
Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are effective antihyperglycemic agents by inhibiting glucose reabsorption in the proximal tubule of the kidney. Besides improving glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes, they also have additional favorable effects, such as lowering body weight and body fat. Several clinical studies have demonstrated their positive effect in reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, the use of SGLT2 inhibitors were associated with fewer adverse renal outcomes comparing to other diabetic agents, substantiating their renoprotective effect in diabetic patients. SGLT2 inhibitors have also remarkable effect on lipid metabolism acting at different cellular levels. By decreasing the lipid accumulation, visceral and subcutaneous fat, they do not only decrease the body weight but also change body composition. They also regulate key molecules in lipid synthesis and transportation, and they affect the oxidation of fatty acids. Notably, they shift substrate utilization from carbohydrates to lipids and ketone bodies. In this review we intended to summarize the role of SGLT2 inhibitors in lipid metabolism especially on lipoprotein levels, lipid regulation, fat storage and substrate utilization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperglycemia is associated with an increased risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL). Sodium-glucose transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have been reported to prevent AF/AFL in some studies, but not others. Therefore, a meta-analysis was performed to investigate whether SGLT2i use is associated with lower risks of AF/AFL. METHODS PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane library databases were searched for randomized placebo-controlled trials comparing SGLT2i and placebo. RESULTS A total of 33 trials involving 66,685 patients were included. The serious adverse events (SAEs) of AF/AFL occurrence were significantly lower in the SGLT2i group than the placebo group (0.96% vs. 1.19%; RR 0.83; 95% CI 0.71-0.96; P = 0.01; I2 25.5%). Similarly, the SAEs of AF occurrence was significantly lower in the SGLT2i group (0.82% vs. 1.06%; RR 0.81; 95% CI 0.69-0.95; P = 0.01; I2 10.2%). The subgroup analysis showed that the reduction in AF/AFL was significant only for dapagliflozin (1.02% vs. 1.49%; RR 0.73; 95% CI 0.59-0.89; P = 0.002; I2 0%), but not for canagliflozin (1.00% vs 1.08%; RR 0.83; 95% CI 0.62-1.12; P = 0.23; I2 0%), empagliflozin (0.88% vs 0.70%; RR 1.20; 95% CI 0.76-1.90; P = 0.43; I2 0%), ertugliflozin (1.01% vs 0.96%; RR 1.08; 95% CI 0.66-1.75; P = 0.76; I2 0%), and sotagliflozin (0.16% vs 0.10%; RR 1.09; 95% CI 0.13-8.86; P = 0.93; I2 0%). CONCLUSIONS SGLT2i use is associated with a 19.33% lower SAEs of AF/AFL compared with the placebo. Dapagliflozin users had the lowest SAEs of AF/AFL incidence. Further studies are needed to determine whether canagliflozin, empagliflozin, ertugliflozin, and sotagliflozin similarly exert protective effects against AF/AFL development.

Abstract
Novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Its impact on patients with comorbidities is clearly related to fatality cases, and diabetes has been linked to one of the most important causes of severity and mortality in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients. Substantial research progress has been made on COVID-19 therapeutics; however, effective treatments remain unsatisfactory. This unmet clinical need is robustly associated with the complexity of pathophysiological mechanisms described for COVID-19. Several key lung pathophysiological mechanisms promoted by SARS-CoV-2 have driven the response in normoglycemic and hyperglycemic subjects. There is sufficient evidence that glucose metabolism pathways in the lung are closely tied to bacterial proliferation, inflammation, oxidative stress, and pro-thrombotic responses, which lead to severe clinical outcomes. It is also likely that SARS-CoV-2 proliferation is affected by glucose metabolism of type I and type II cells. This review summarizes the current understanding of pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2 in the lung of diabetic patients and highlights the changes in clinical outcomes of COVID-19 in normoglycemic and hyperglycemic conditions.

[PMID: 33190640 PMCID: PMC7667845 DOI: 10.1186/s12916-020-01787-4] [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: 04/14/2020] [Accepted: 09/17/2020] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The placebo response in patients with diabetes mellitus is very common. A systematic evaluation needs to be updated with the current evidence about the placebo response in diabetes mellitus and the associated factors in clinical trials of anti-diabetic medicine. METHODS Literature research was conducted in Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and ClinicalTrials.gov for studies published between the date of inception and June 2019. Randomized placebo-controlled trials conducted in type 1and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T1DM/T2DM) were included. Random-effects model and meta-regression analysis were accordingly used. This meta-analysis was registered in PROSPERO as CRD42014009373. RESULTS Significantly weight elevation (effect size (ES) = 0.33 kg, 95% CI, 0.03 to 0.61 kg) was observed in patients with placebo treatments in T1DM subgroup while significantly HbA1c reduction (ES = - 0.12%, 95% CI, - 0.16 to - 0.07%) and weight reduction (ES = - 0.40 kg, 95% CI, - 0.50 to - 0.29 kg) were observed in patients with placebo treatments in T2DM subgroup. Greater HbA1c reduction was observed in patients with injectable placebo treatments (ES = - 0.22%, 95% CI, - 0.32 to - 0.11%) versus oral types (ES = - 0.09%, 95% CI, - 0.14 to - 0.04%) in T2DM (P = 0.03). Older age (β = - 0.01, 95% CI, - 0.02 to - 0.01, P < 0.01) and longer diabetes duration (β = - 0.02, 95% CI, - 0.03 to - 0.21 × 10-2, P = 0.03) was significantly associated with more HbA1c reduction by placebo in T1DM. However, younger age (β = 0.02, 95% CI, 0.01 to 0.03, P = 0.01), lower male percentage (β = 0.01, 95% CI, 0.22 × 10-2, 0.01, P < 0.01), higher baseline BMI (β = - 0.02, 95% CI, - 0.04 to - 0.26 × 10-2, P = 0.02), and higher baseline HbA1c (β = - 0.09, 95% CI, - 0.16 to - 0.01, P = 0.02) were significantly associated with more HbA1c reduction by placebo in T2DM. Shorter diabetes duration (β = 0.06, 95% CI, 0.06 to 0.10, P < 0.01) was significantly associated with more weight reduction by placebo in T2DM. However, the associations between baseline BMI, baseline HbA1c, and placebo response were insignificant after the adjusted analyses. CONCLUSION The placebo response in diabetes mellitus was systematically outlined. Age, sex, disease severity (indirectly reflected by baseline BMI and baseline HbA1c), and disease duration were associated with placebo response in diabetes mellitus. The association between baseline BMI, baseline HbA1c, and placebo response may be the result of regression to the mean.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Clinical studies have shown that treatment with inhibitors of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) significantly increases the hematocrit in patients with type 2 diabetes. To investigate whether SGLT2 inhibitors directly promote erythropoietin production independently on blood glucose reduction, the hematopoietic effect of the specific SGLT2 inhibitor, luseogliflozin, was examined in non-diabetic rats with renal anemia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Renal anemia was induced by treatment with adenine (200 or 600 mg/kg/day, orally for 10 days) in non-diabetic Wistar-Kyoto or Wistar rats, respectively. Luseogliflozin (10 mg/kg bodyweight) or vehicle (0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose) was then administered for 6 weeks. The hematocrit and the hemoglobin (Hb), blood urea nitrogen, plasma creatinine, and plasma erythropoietin levels were monitored. RESULTS Treatment with adenine decreased the hematocrit and the Hb level, which were associated with increases in the blood urea nitrogen and plasma creatinine levels. In Wistar-Kyoto rats treated with 200 mg/kg/day adenine, administration of luseogliflozin induced glycosuria, but did not change the blood urea nitrogen, plasma creatinine levels, hematocrit, Hb or plasma erythropoietin levels. Similarly, luseogliflozin treatment failed to change the hematocrit or the Hb levels in Wistar rats with renal anemia induced by 600 mg/kg/day of adenine. Plasma erythropoietin concentrations were also not different between luseogliflozin- and vehicle-treated rats. Similarly, in human erythropoietin-producing cells derived from pluripotent stem cells, luseogliflozin treatment did not change the erythropoietin level in the medium. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that SGLT2 inhibitor fails to exert hematopoietic effects in non-diabetic conditions.

Abstract
Background Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) have shown their beneficial effects on cardiovascular outcomes and multiple cardiovascular risk factors, including hypertension. However, the mechanism of blood pressure (BP)-lowering effects of these agents has not been elucidated. This study aims to evaluate the effect of hemoglobin A1c reduction or body weight reduction with GLP-1RA treatment and SGLT2i treatment on BP changes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods and Results Studies were identified by a search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register until June 2019. Meta-regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between hemoglobin A1c reduction or body weight reduction and changes of BP. A total of 184 trials were included. Both GLP-1RA and SGLT2i led to significant reductions in systolic BP (weighted mean difference, -2.856 and -4.331 mm Hg, respectively; P<0.001 for both) and diastolic BP (weighted mean difference, -0.898 and -2.279 mm Hg, respectively; P<0.001 for both). For both drug classes, hemoglobin A1c reduction was not independently associated with systolic BP reduction or diastolic BP reduction. In GLP-1RA treatment, weight reduction was positively associated with systolic BP reduction and diastolic BP reduction (β=0.821 and β=0.287, respectively; P<0.001 for both). In SGLT2i treatment, weight loss was significantly associated with systolic BP reduction (β=0.820; P=0.001) but was not associated with diastolic BP reduction. Conclusions Treatment with GLP-1RA and SGLT2i led to significant reductions in BP in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Weight reduction was significantly and independently associated with BP reductions in GLP-1RA treatment and SGLT2i treatment.

Mukai J, Yoshiyama A, Kubota R. Clinical relevance between sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors and lipid profiles in Asian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a systematic review with a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. J Pharm Health Care Sci 2020; 6:4. [PMID: 32190340 PMCID: PMC7071682 DOI: 10.1186/s40780-020-00160-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2020] [Accepted: 03/03/2020] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Few systematic reviews have examined the effects of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) on lipid profiles in Asian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. We conducted a systematic review with a meta-analysis to summarize the available literature and confirm the effects of SGLT2is on lipid profiles in these patients. Methods We searched the electronic databases MEDLINE, CENTRAL, and Ichushi-web for studies from the dates of their earliest publication to July 2018, and there was no language restriction. Trials were included if they were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) (1) comparing the effects of SGLT2is with a placebo in Asian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (18 years or older), and (2) reporting HbA1c and at least one lipid parameter, such as triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). The weighted mean difference with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated using a random-effects model. Results Among the 630 studies retrieved, 17 RCTs that included 4485 patients were ultimately included in our review. Fourteen RCTs were conducted in Japan. The durations of RCTs ranged between 12 and 24 weeks. SGLT2is significantly improved HbA1c [mean difference − 0.80 (95%CI − 0.96 to − 0.64)%, p < 0.00001], TG [mean difference − 16.42 (95%CI − 22.71 to − 10.12) mg/dL, p < 0.00001], and HDL-C [mean difference 3.36 (95%CI 2.73 to 3.98) mg/dL, p < 0.00001], but significantly deteriorated LDL-C [mean difference 3.00 (95%CI 1.18 to 4.82) mg/dL, p < 0.001]. The LDL-C/HDL-C ratio was not significantly different between SGLT2is and a placebo [mean difference − 0.01 (95%CI − 0.08 to 0.06), p < 0.74]. Conclusion The present results suggest that in Asian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, TG and HDL-C values were better, while LDL-C values were worse with SGLT2is than with a placebo. However, the negative impact of SGLT2is on lipid profiles was modest. Further RCTs with a longer duration or conducted in other Asian countries are needed to provide further evidence to support the clinical relevance of changes in lipid profiles. The present results will be informative for SGLT2is users with concerns regarding the effects of SGLT2is on lipid profiles.

Abstract
The prevalence of obesity in Asia is of epidemic proportions, with an estimated 1 billion overweight/obese individuals in the region. The majority of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are overweight/obese, which increases the risk of cardiorenal outcomes in these patients; hence, sustained reductions in body weight and visceral adiposity are important management goals. However, most of the glucose-lowering therapies such as insulin, sulfonylureas, glinides, and thiazolidinediones induce weight gain, which makes the management of overweight/obese T2DM patients challenging. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors are the only oral glucose-lowering agents that have been shown to reduce body weight and visceral adiposity. In addition, SGLT-2 inhibitors therapy reduces ectopic fat deposition and improves adipose tissue function and weight-related quality of life. In this article, we aim to consolidate the existing literature on the effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors in Asian patients with T2DM and to produce clinical recommendations on their use in overweight or obese patients with T2DM. Recommendations from international and regional guidelines, as well as published data from clinical trials in Asian populations and cardiovascular outcomes trials are reviewed. Based on the available data, SGLT-2 inhibitors represent an evidence-based therapeutic option for the management of overweight/obese patients with T2DM.

Abstract
We explored efficacy of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4is) and sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) between Japanese and non-Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis. A literature search of public databases before May 2017 identified 91 (DPP-4i) and 63 (SGLT2i) randomized placebo-controlled trials (> 12-week treatment). Multivariate meta-regression analysis identified baseline hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels and placebo responses as covariates affecting efficacy of two agent classes independently of study region (Japanese/non-Japanese). When accounted for covariates, DPP-4i caused more pronounced HbA1c reduction in Japanese studies than in non-Japanese studies by 0.18% difference (P < 0.05) while causing no difference in fasting plasma glucose reduction between regions. On the other hand, when adjusted by baseline HbA1c levels and placebo responses, efficacy of SGLT2i were comparable between regions. The contrasting results for two agent classes indicate that drug efficacy is affected by different pathophysiology at its therapeutic action point.

[PMID: 31905245 DOI: 10.1111/jcpt.13107] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2019] [Revised: 12/01/2019] [Accepted: 12/17/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE In the outpatient setting, sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are recognized as effective agents to optimize glycaemia and also developing robust evidence for cardiovascular (CV) and renal protection in people with type 2 diabetes, particularly those at higher risk. However, data on the safety and efficacy of these drugs in hospitalized patients remain limited. The purpose of this review is to discuss the balance between risks and benefits of SGLT2i use in the inpatient setting. METHODS PubMed, Embase and Google Scholar databases were searched to identify relevant published work. Available evidence on the mechanisms of action and the safety profile of SGLT2i in the context of their use in hospitalized individuals are summarized and discussed in this narrative review. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The rationale behind the use of these agents in the inpatient setting is based on the low risk of hypoglycaemia, the practical dosing scheme and the potential to decrease subsequent heart failure admission rates. In addition, data from animal studies indicate the ability of SGLT2i to ameliorate oxidative stress, suppress sympathetic activity, enhance autophagy and promote cardiac remodelling, when administered in the acute phase of CV episodes. On the other hand, these drugs have been linked to specific adverse events related to their mechanism of action, including an increased risk of euglycaemic diabetic ketoacidosis and volume depletion, which raises concerns over their usefulness in inpatients, particularly individuals with multimorbidities. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION Potential benefits deriving from the use of SGLT2i in the inpatient setting cannot mitigate possible risks, at least until robust evidence on their efficacy in hospitalized individuals become available. The concept of administering these agents in the acute phase of CV episodes, in people with or without diabetes, requires further evaluation in appropriately designed clinical studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES For patients with type 2 diabetes, newer antihyperglycaemic agents (AHA), including the dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors (DPP4i), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RA) and sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) offer a lower risk of hypoglycaemia relative to sulfonylurea or insulin. However, it is not clear how AHA compare to placebo on risk of any hypoglycaemia. This study evaluates the risk of any and severe hypoglycaemia with AHA and metformin relative to placebo. DESIGN A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted of randomized, placebo-controlled trials ≥12 weeks in duration. MEDLINE, Embase and the Cochrane Library were searched up to April 16, 2019. Studies allowing use of other diabetes medications were excluded. Mantel-Haenszel risk ratio with 95% confidence intervals were used to pool estimates based on class of AHA and number of concomitant therapies used. PATIENTS Eligible studies enrolled patients with type 2 diabetes ≥18 years of age. RESULTS 144 studies met our inclusion criteria. Any hypoglycaemia was not increased with AHA when used as monotherapy (DPP4i (RR 1.12; 95% CI 0.81-1.56), GLP1RA (1.77; 0.91-3.46), SGLT2i (1.34; 0.83-2.15)), or as add-on to metformin (DPP4i (0.95; 0.67-1.35), GLP1RA (1.24; 0.80-1.91), SGLT2i (1.29; 0.91-1.83)) or as triple therapy (1.13; 0.67-1.91). However, metformin monotherapy (1.73; 1.02-2.94) and dual therapy initiation (3.56; 1.79-7.10) was associated with an increased risk of any hypoglycaemia. Severe hypoglycaemia was rare not increased for any comparisons. CONCLUSIONS Metformin and the simultaneous initiation of dual therapy, but not AHA used alone or as single add-on combination therapy, was associated with an increased risk of any hypoglycaemia relative to placebo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Optimal glycemic control is required to restrain the increase of cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes. The effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors on cardiovascular events and mortality in those patients are not well established. This meta-analysis was conducted to assess the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on cardiovascular events and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS We conducted a systematic literature search of Medline, Embase and Cochrane Library and included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of 3 different SGLT2 inhibitors (canagliflozin, dapagliflozin and empagliflozin) that evaluated the effects on cardiovascular outcomes and mortality in the final meta-analysis. The intervention arm was defined either as SGLT2 inhibitor monotherapy or as SGLT2 inhibitor add-on to other non-SGLT2 inhibitor antidiabetic agents (ADAs). RESULTS Forty-two trials with a total of 61,076 patients with type 2 diabetes were included in the meta-analysis. Compared with the control, SGLT2 inhibitor treatment was associated with a reduction in the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) (OR = 0.86, 95% CI 0.80-0.93, P < .0001), myocardial infarction (OR = 0.86, 95% CI 0.79-0.94, P = .001), cardiovascular mortality (OR = 0.74, 95% CI 0.67-0.81, P < .0001) and all cause mortality (OR = 0.85, 95% CI 0.79-0.92, P < .0001). However, the risk of ischemic stroke was not reduced after SGLT2 inhibitor treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes (OR = 0.95, 95% CI 0.85-1.07, P = .42). CONCLUSION These data suggest a decreased risk of harm with SGLT2 inhibitor as a class with respect to cardiovascular events and mortality.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We report a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 4-week study to investigate the effect of empagliflozin on free fatty acids and blood ketone bodies in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS Patients (baseline mean [standard deviation] glycated hemoglobin 7.91% [0.80%]; body mass index 24.3 [3.2] kg/m2) were randomized to empagliflozin 10 mg (n = 20), empagliflozin 25 mg (n = 19), or placebo (n = 21) daily as monotherapy for 28 days. Meal tolerance tests (MTTs; breakfast, lunch, dinner) were performed on day - 1, day 1 (first day of treatment), and day 28. On day 1 and day 28, study drug was administered 1 h before breakfast. Free fatty acids and blood ketone bodies were measured before and 1, 2, and 3 h after each MTT, and the next morning (overnight fast). RESULTS Empagliflozin significantly reduced plasma glucose and insulin and reduced body weight vs. placebo. Empagliflozin increased free fatty acids and total ketones bodies at day 1 and day 28. At day 28, the adjusted mean (95% confidence interval) difference vs. placebo in the time-corrected area under curve over 24 h for total ketone bodies was 67.1 (12.3, 121.8) µmol·h/L·h (P = 0.017) with empagliflozin 10 mg and 178.1 (123.9, 232.2) µmol·h/L·h (P < 0.001) with empagliflozin 25 mg. Increases in ketones with empagliflozin vs. placebo peaked just before and declined after meals, with the highest peak before breakfast. Changes in total ketone bodies appeared to be associated with changes in plasma glucose, insulin, and free fatty acids. CONCLUSION Empagliflozin modestly increased free fatty acids and blood ketone bodies after a single dose and 28 days' treatment. Increases in ketones appeared to be related to the duration of fasting and were most pronounced before breakfast. Increases in ketones appeared to be associated with changes in well-known metabolic determinants of ketone production. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov identifier, NCT01947855.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in East Asians with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS A literature search that focused primarily on the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane library databases was performed. All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) which satisfied the inclusion and exculsion criteria were eligible to be included in the meta-analysis. Risk ratios (RRs) and weighted mean differences (WMDs) were used as statistical indicators for the analysis of dichotomous data and continuous outcomes, respectively. Pooled estimates were obtained using random-effects models in RevMan version 5.3.5. RESULTS Thirty-three RCTs (8496 randomized patients) fulfilled the eligibility criteria for inclusion in the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis showed that, compared with the control group, the use of SGLT2 inhibitors improved both glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in patients (WMD - 0.73%; 95% confidence interval [CI] - 0.84, - 0.61) and the percentage of patients with HbA1c < 7% (RR 2.33; 95% CI 1.74, 3.12); lowered both fasting plasma glucose (WMD - 28.47 mg/dl; 95% CI - 32.86, - 24.08) and postprandial glucose (WMD - 52.32 mg/dl; 95% CI - 67.67, - 39.96); reduced body weight (WMD - 1.73 kg; 95% CI - 2.28, - 1.17); and did not increase the risk of hypoglycemia (RR 1.27; 95% CI 0.89, 1.82) and urinary tract infections (RR 0.93; 95% CI 0.68, 1.27). However, SGLT2 inhibitors did increase the risk of genital tract infections (GTIs) (RR 1.73; 95% CI 1.02, 2.96). The stratified analysis showed that patients with higher HbA1c levels at baseline may achieve a greater improvement in HbA1c after taking SGLT2 inhibitors, while those with higher body weight or a longer history of diabetes may have an increased risk of developing GTIs. CONCLUSION Current research suggests that SGLT2 inhibitors have favorable efficacy and safety in East Asian patients with T2DM.

Abstract
Respiratory infection can be exacerbated by the high glucose concentration in the airway surface liquid (ASL). We investigated the effects of salbutamol and phlorizin on the pulmonary function, oxidative stress levels and SGLT1 activity in lung, pulmonary histopathological damages and survival rates of rats with sepsis. Sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture surgery (CLP). Twenty-four hours after surgery, CLP rats were intranasally treated with saline, salbutamol or phlorizin. After 2 hours, animals were anesthetized and sacrificed. Sepsis promoted atelectasis and bronchial inflammation, and led to increased expression of SGLT1 on cytoplasm of pneumocytes. Salbutamol treatment reduced bronchial inflammation and promoted hyperinsuflation in CLP rats. The interferon-ɤ and Interleucin-1β concentrations in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) were closely related to the bronchial inflammation regulation. Salbutamol stimulated SGLT1 in plasma membrane; whereas, phlorizin promoted the increase of SGLT1 in cytoplasm. Phlorizin reduced catalase activity and induced a significant decrease in the survival rate of CLP rats. Taken together, sepsis promoted atelectasis and lung inflammation, which can be associated with SGLT1 inhibition. The loss of function of SGLT1 by phlorizin are related to the augmented disease severity, increased atelectasis, bronchial inflammation and a significant reduction of survival rate of CLP rats. Alternatively salbutamol reduced BAL inflammatory cytokines, bronchial inflammation, atelectasis, and airway damage in sepsis. These data suggest that this selective β2-adrenergic agonist may protect lung of septic acute effects.

Abstract
Background: The efficacy and safety of SGLT-2 and DPP-4 inhibitor monotherapies in T2DM is well established; however, data on the effect of combination therapies and sequence of administration are lacking. We investigated the efficacy and safety of the sequence of SGLT-2 and DPP-4 inhibitor administration in Japanese T2DM patients.Research design and methods: In this single-institution, open-label, randomized controlled study, T2DM patients inadequately controlled (HbA1c ≥6.5%) with conventional therapy were randomized to receive luseogliflozin-sitagliptin (LS; luseogliflozin 2.5 mg for 0-12 weeks, then luseogliflozin plus sitagliptin 50 mg for 12-24 weeks) or sitagliptin-luseogliflozin (SL; sitagliptin 50 mg for 0-12 weeks, then sitagliptin plus luseogliflozin 2.5 mg for 12-24 weeks). The main outcome was the difference in mean change in HbA1c at 24 weeks relative to baseline between both groups.Results: Of the 41 enrolled and randomized patients, 34 completed the study. Mean ± SD HbA1c at baseline was 10.35 ± 1.04% and 10.02 ± 1.40% in the LS and SL groups, respectively, and mean ± SD change in HbA1c at 24 weeks from baseline was -3.81 ± 1.21% vs -2.46 ± 1.42% (P < 0.01), respectively. No drug-related adverse events were reported.Conclusion: Over the 24-week period, LS was more effective in reducing HbA1c levels than SL in Japanese T2DM patients.

Abstract
Euglycemic DKA (eu-DKA) is a life-threatening emergency. It may occur in patients with both type 1 and type 2 DM, and characterized by milder degrees of hyperglycemia with blood glucose level < 200 mg/dl, which can result in delayed diagnosis and treatment with potential for adverse metabolic consequences. Following the wide introduction of the sodium glucose transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in therapeutic practice for DM type 2 treatment the amount of eu-DKA increased and therefore, interest to this entity rose. Other causes associated with eu-DKA include pregnancy, decreased caloric intake, heavy alcohol use, insulin use prior to hospital admission, cocaine abuse, pancreatitis, sepsis, chronic liver disease and liver cirrhosis. Patients with eu-DKA as well as with DKA need immediate referral for emergency evaluation and treatment. The treatment includes rapid correction of dehydration, correction electrolyte abnormalities, and use of insulin drip until the anion gap, and bicarbonate levels normalize. Increased glucose administration using higher percentages of dextrose (10 or 20%) are required to facilitate the concomitant administration of the relatively large amounts of insulin that are needed to correct the severe acidosis in these patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate the association between the use of sodium glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and postmarket harms as identified by drug regulatory agencies. DESIGN We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCT). Six large databases were searched from inception to May 2018. Random effects models were used to estimate pooled relative risks (RRs). INTERVENTION SGLT2 inhibitors, compared with placebo or active comparators. PRIMARY OUTCOMES Acute kidney injury (AKI), diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), urinary tract infections (UTI), bone fractures and lower limb amputations. RESULTS We screened 2418 citations of which 109 were included. Most studies included one of four SGLT2 inhibitors, dapagliflozin, canagliflozin, empagliflozin and ipragliflozin. When compared with placebo, SGLT2 inhibitors were found to be significantly protective against AKI (RR=0.59; 95% CI 0.39 to 0.89; I2=0.0%), while no difference was found for DKA (RR 0.66; 95% CI 0.30 to 1.45, I2=0.0%), UTI (RR 1.02; 95% CI 0.95 to 1.09, I2=0.0%) or bone fracture (RR 0.87; 95% CI 0.69 to 1.09, I2=1.3%). Three studies reported on amputation, with one finding a significant increase risk. No increased risk for either outcome was found when compared with active controls. Subgroup analysis did show an increased risk of UTI with dapagliflozin only (RR 1.21; 95% CI 1.02 to 1.43, I2=0.0%), but no other analysis supported an increased risk of AKI, DKA, UTI or fracture. CONCLUSIONS Current evidence from RCTs does not suggest an increased risk of harm with SGLT2 inhibitors as a class over placebo or active comparators with respect to AKI, DKA, UTI or fracture. However, wide CIs for many comparisons suggest limited precision, and therefore clinically important adverse events cannot be ruled out. Dapagliflozin, appears to independently increase the risk of UTI, although the mechanism for this intraclass variation in risk is unclear. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42016038715.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Albuminuria characterizes the progression of kidney injury. The effect of canagliflozin on the excretion of microalbumin was assessed for investigating its renoprotective potential in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty Japanese patients with T2DM and microalbuminuria were enrolled and administered with 100 mg of canagliflozin once a day for 12 weeks. These subjects were admitted to the clinic at the start and end of the treatment period for 24-h urine collection. The primary endpoint was the percentage change in geometric mean 24-h urinary albumin excretion from baseline to week 12. RESULTS The urinary albumin level decreased by 42.0% (95% confidence interval: 21.9-57.0; P = 0.0011) after 12 weeks of canagliflozin treatment. A number of blood and urinary parameters also significantly decreased, including hemoglobin A1c, fasting plasma glucose, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and creatinine clearance, while hematocrit was elevated. Among the biomarkers associated with kidney injury and inflammation, the urinary level of the oxidative stress marker 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine was also decreased. There were no meaningful correlations noted between changes in urinary albumin excretion and other parameters/biomarkers. No severe adverse events were reported over the 12-week treatment period. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study indicate that canagliflozin decreases microalbuminuria in Japanese patients with T2DM. Albuminuria could be reduced as a result of changes in various physiological pathways; therefore, it is imperative that future, large-scale, studies attempt to determine the detailed mechanisms involved. Canagliflozin may offer a novel therapeutic option for Japanese patients with T2DM and incipient nephropathy.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION To evaluate whether there is disparity of the efficacy and all-cause mortality and other adverse effects between Asian and non-Asian patients with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Randomized clinical trials publicly available before January 2017, comparing SGLT2 inhibitors treatment with a placebo in type 2 diabetes patients were identified. The association between treatment and outcomes was estimated by computing the weighted mean difference for glycated hemoglobin level, blood pressure level, lipid profile levels and bodyweight, and the odds ratios for adverse events. RESULTS A total of 17 trials with Asian patients were included and 39 trials with non-Asian patients were included. Comparison of the glycated hemoglobin decreases corrected by a placebo between Asian and non-Asian patients showed that there was a non-significant difference of 0.05% between groups (P > 0.05). Comparisons of the bodyweight changes and blood pressure changes corrected by a placebo between Asian and non-Asian patients did not show a significant difference between groups (P > 0.05). The risk of all-cause mortality was not increased when compared with a placebo both in Asian and non-Asian populations, and the risk of genital infection in Asian and non-Asian populations were both significant increased. CONCLUSIONS Overall, according to the present meta-analysis, comparison of the efficacy in SGLT2 inhibitors treatment between Asian and non-Asian type 2 diabetes patients showed no significant difference in glycated hemoglobin reduction and bodyweight reduction. Furthermore, no disparity was found in the risk of all-cause mortality or hypoglycemia in SGLT2 inhibitors treatment between Asian and non-Asian patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Canagliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, improves various cardiometabolic parameters. Although canagliflozin was originally discovered in Japan, no comprehensive summary of its effects in Japanese patients has been reported. As differences exist in the pathologic features of diabetes between Japanese and non-Japanese populations, it is important to consolidate Japanese data for canagliflozin. Areas covered: The authors summarize Japanese clinical trial and post-marketing surveillance data for canagliflozin, and make comparisons with non-Japanese data. They also consider the therapeutic potential of canagliflozin in Japanese patients by presenting results from the CANagliflozin cardioVascular Assessment Study (CANVAS) Program. Expert opinion: In Japanese patients, canagliflozin 100 mg, administered as monotherapy or combination therapy, improved blood glucose, body weight, and blood pressure, and was well tolerated; the efficacy and safety profiles were comparable to previous clinical studies in other countries. In the CANVAS Program, canagliflozin reduced major cardiovascular events, and although Japan was not included in this program, canagliflozin may have cardiovascular benefits in Japanese patients, in whom control of multiple risk factors is important for preventing diabetic complications. Patients with high cardiovascular risk often have multiple comorbidities, so it is important to consider the risk-benefit balance of using SGLT2 inhibitors in individual patients.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of canagliflozin as add-on therapy in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who had inadequate glycaemic control with insulin. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study comprised a 16-week, double-blind period in which patients were randomized to either placebo (P; N = 70) or canagliflozin (100 mg, CAN; N = 76), followed by a 36-week open-label period in which all patients received canagliflozin. The efficacy endpoints included the change in HbA1c from baseline to end of treatment. The safety endpoints were adverse events, hypoglycaemic events, and laboratory test values. RESULTS The changes from baseline (mean ± standard deviation, last observation carried forward) in the P/CAN and CAN/CAN groups, respectively, were -1.09% ± 0.85% and -0.88% ± 0.86% for HbA1c, -1.40% ± 2.54% and -2.14% ± 2.75% for body weight, and 7.84% ± 14.37% and 8.91% ± 10.80% for HOMA2-%B (all, P < .001). Adverse events occurred in 85.1% of the P/CAN group and 92.0% of the CAN/CAN group. Hypoglycaemic events occurred in 43.3% and 54.7%, respectively. All hypoglycaemic events were mild in severity and insulin dose reduction decreased the incidence rate of hypoglycaemic events. Post-hoc ordinal logistic modelling/logistic modelling showed that lower serum C-peptide at Week 0 was a risk factor for hypoglycaemia in both the P and CAN groups in the double-blind period as well as in the canagliflozin all-treatment period. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates the long-term efficacy and safety of canagliflozin combined with insulin in Japanese patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Treatment of type 2 diabetes with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors may result in genital fungal infections. We investigated possible risk factors for developing such infections among patients treated with the SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin. METHODS The Association of British Clinical Diabetologists (ABCD) collected data on patients treated with dapagliflozin in routine clinical practice from 59 diabetes centres. We assessed possible associations of patient's age, diabetes duration, body mass index, glycated haemoglobin, renal function, patient sex, ethnicity and prior genital fungal infection, urinary tract infection, urinary incontinence or nocturia, with the occurrence of ≥1 genital fungal infection within 26 weeks of treatment. RESULTS 1049 out of 1116 patients (476 women, 573 men) were analysed. Baseline characteristics were, mean±SD, age 56.7±10.2years, BMI 35.5±6.9kg/m2 and HbA1c 9.4±1.5%. Only patient sex (13.2% women vs 3.3% men) and prior history of genital fungal infection (21.6% vs 7.3%) were found to be associated with occurrence of genital fungal infections after dapagliflozin treatment, adjusted OR 4.22 [95%CI 2.48,7.19], P<0.001 and adjusted OR 2.41 [95% CI 1.04,5.57], P=0.039, respectively. CONCLUSION Women and patients with previous genital fungal infections had higher risks of developing genital fungal infections with dapagliflozin treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of canagliflozin in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in clinical settings. METHODS The authors conducted a 1-year post-marketing surveillance (PMS) of canagliflozin in almost all the elderly patients (≥65 years old) with T2DM who began taking canagliflozin during the first 3 months after its launch in Japan. The main outcomes included the incidences of adverse drug reactions (ADRs), serious ADRs, and the changes of laboratory tests as well as efficacy variables. RESULTS An ADR was reported in 9.09% (125 of 1375 patients) in the safety analysis set. The main ADRs were dehydration, constipation, thirst, pollakiuria, dizziness, cystitis, eczema, pruritus, and rash. The incidence of serious ADRs was 1.02% (14 patients), which included urinary tract infection, dehydration, hypoglycemia, and cerebral infarction (two patients each). ADRs of special interest that had been reported in clinical trials of SGLT2 inhibitors, such as hypoglycemia, volume depletion-related events, genital/urinary tract infection, polyuria/pollakiuria, and ketone body increased were also observed in this PMS. The safety profiles were similar to the results of a previous clinical study of canagliflozin, and new safety concerns were not identified in this survey. The mean change in HbA1c was -0.77% after 12 months of treatment in the efficacy analysis set. CONCLUSION In this PMS, the safety and efficacy profiles of canagliflozin in elderly patients with T2DM were obtained in the clinical settings in Japan and the drug was well tolerated and effective in improving glycemic control.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors may induce urinary glucose excretion via the inhibition of renal glucose reabsorption, improve glycemic control, and lower body weight. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate weight changes in patients who received different dosages of SGLT2 inhibitors. METHODS Overall, 55 placebo-controlled trials were included. RESULTS The results indicated that treatment with 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg of dapagliflozin led to significant decreases in body weight compared with a placebo (weighted mean difference [WMD], -1.30 kg, -1.51 kg, -1.79 kg, -2.24 kg, respectively; P < 0.001). Treatment with 50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, and 300 mg of canagliflozin also led to significant decreases in weight (WMD, -1.20 kg, -1.82 kg, -1.83 kg, -2.37 kg, respectively; P < 0.001). In the treatment with empagliflozin, ipragliflozin, tofogliflozin, and luseogliflozin, body weight also significantly decreased. The decrease in weight was associated with the dosage of dapagliflozin (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Body weight significantly decreased in patients with type 2 diabetes who received different dosages of SGLT2 inhibitors compared with patients who received a placebo. Moreover, in patients treated with dapagliflozin, there was a statistically significant dosage-dependent trend in body weight reduction.

Effects of canagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, on hepatic function in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: pooled and subgroup analyses of clinical trials. J Gastroenterol 2018; 53:140-151. [PMID: 28669071 DOI: 10.1007/s00535-017-1364-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 55] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2016] [Accepted: 06/18/2017] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the efficacy of canagliflozin (based on its effect on liver function and blood glucose levels) and its safety in high alanine aminotransferase (ALT) patients (ALT >30 U/L). METHODS This post hoc analysis of canagliflozin in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients was divided into Study 1 (pooled analysis of 12- and 24-week placebo-controlled, monotherapy studies) and Study 2 (52-week monotherapy/combination therapy study). The canagliflozin 100 mg group data were compared with placebo or baseline ALT subgroup (baseline ALT >30 or ≤30 U/L) data. The primary endpoint was change in ALT level from baseline. Secondary endpoints were changes in efficacy-related parameters. Adverse events (AEs) were evaluated. RESULTS The mean ALT change at 12 weeks was -10.3 ± 11.7 and -3.2 ± 17.6 U/L in the canagliflozin vs. placebo group in the high ALT subgroup (P = 0.0206); no significant difference was shown in the low ALT subgroup (Study 1). In both ALT subgroups, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and body weight were significantly reduced in the canagliflozin vs. placebo group (all P < 0.0001). The mean change in ALT at 52 weeks was -16.0 ± 18.8 U/L in the high ALT subgroup (P < 0.0001, Study 2). The incidence of AEs or serious AEs in the high ALT subgroup in the canagliflozin group was similar to that in the placebo group (Study 1) or low ALT subgroup (Studies 1 and 2). CONCLUSIONS In T2DM patients with impaired liver function, canagliflozin may improve liver function, reduce HbA1c and body weight, and be well tolerated.

SGLT2 Inhibitor-associated Diabetic Ketoacidosis: Clinical Review and Recommendations for Prevention and Diagnosis. Clin Ther 2017; 38:2654-2664.e1. [PMID: 28003053 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinthera.2016.11.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 165] [Impact Index Per Article: 23.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2016] [Accepted: 11/02/2016] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are the newest class of antihyperglycemic agents available on the market. Regulator warnings and concerns regarding the risk of developing diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), however, have dampened enthusiasm for the class despite the combined glycemic, blood pressure, and occasional weight benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors. With the goal of improving patient safety, a cross-Canada expert panel and writing group were convened to review the evidence to-date on reported SGLT2 inhibitor-related DKA incidents and to offer recommendations for preventing and recognizing patients with SGLT2 inhibitor-associated DKA. METHODS Reports covering DKA events in subjects taking SGLT2 inhibitors that were published in PubMed, presented at professional conferences, or in the public domain from January 2013 to mid-August 2016 were reviewed by the group independently and collectively. Practical recommendations for diagnosis and prevention were established by the panel. FINDINGS DKA is rarely associated with SGLT2 inhibitor therapy. Patients with SGLT2 inhibitor-associated DKA may be euglycemic (plasma glucose level <14 mmol/L). DKA is more likely in patients with insulin-deficient diabetes, including those with type 2 diabetes, and is typically precipitated by insulin omission or dose reduction, severe acute illness, dehydration, extensive exercise, surgery, low-carbohydrate diets, or excessive alcohol intake. SGLT2 inhibitor-associated DKA may be prevented by withholding SGLT2 inhibitors when precipitants develop, avoiding insulin omission or inappropriate insulin dose reduction, and by following sick day protocols as recommended. IMPLICATIONS Preventive strategies should help avoid SGLT2 inhibitor-associated DKA. All SGLT2 inhibitor-treated patients presenting with signs or symptoms of DKA should be suspected to have DKA and be investigated for DKA, especially euglycemic patients. If DKA is diagnosed, SGLT2 inhibitor treatment should be stopped, and the DKA should be treated with a traditional treatment protocol.

Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to investigate changes in levels of biomarkers associated with adipocyte function and insulin and glucagon kinetics after a meal tolerance test (MTT) during treatment with dapagliflozin among obese type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Methods T2DM patients with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels >6.5 % and body mass index (BMI) >25 kg/m2 were treated with dapagliflozin 5 mg/day for at least 12 weeks. HbA1c, body weight, ketone bodies, adiponectin, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured before and after treatment with dapagliflozin. A subset of patients underwent an MTT. Results Of 27 participating patients (mean age 47.9 years; 17 males), five were drug-naive and 22 were treated with other antidiabetic agents, including insulin and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. Following treatment with dapagliflozin, HbA1c levels significantly improved (7.44 ± 0.56 to 6.70 ± 0.0.57 %; p < 0.01), body weight significantly decreased (90.9 ± 16.5 to 87.1 ± 15.9 kg; p < 0.01), ketone bodies increased, adiponectin significantly increased, and high-sensitivity CRP tended to decrease. During the MTT, blood glucose ΔAUC2 significantly decreased, glucagon ΔAUC2 increased, and immunoreactive insulin (IRI) did not change in 11 of 27 patients. Conclusion Although ketone bodies increased significantly, adiponectin increased and high-sensivity CRP decreased significantly. These findings suggest that sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors may potentially improve adipocyte function in treating obese T2DM patients.

Abstract
Previous trial evidence suggested potential risk of serious urinary tract infections (UTIs) and genital infections in type 2 diabetes patients using sodium glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2) inhibitors. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on UTIs and genital infections in patients with type 2 diabetes. In total, 77 RCTs involving 50,820 participants were eligible. The meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) showed no significant difference in UTIs between SGLT2 inhibitors versus control (2,526/29,086 vs. 1,278/14,940; risk ratio (RR) 1.05, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.98 to 1.12; moderate quality evidence), but suggested increased risk of genital infections with SGLT2 inhibitors (1,521/24,017 vs. 216/12,552; RR 3.30, 95% CI 2.74 to 3.99; moderate quality evidence). Subgroup analyses by length of follow up (interaction p = 0.005), type of control (interaction p = 0.04) and individual SGLT2 inhibitors (interaction p = 0.03) also showed statistically significant differences in genital infections. The upcoming major trials may provide important additional insights on UTIs, and more efforts are needed to address comparative effects of each individual SGLT2 inhibitors on the infections.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate efficacy and safety of the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor canagliflozin administered as add-on therapy to the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor teneligliptin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 clinical trial in Japanese patients with T2DM who had inadequate glycaemic control with teneligliptin. Patients were randomized to receive teneligliptin 20 mg plus either canagliflozin 100 mg (T + C, n = 70) or placebo (T + P, n = 68) once daily. The primary endpoint was the change in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) from baseline to week 24. Other endpoints included changes in fasting plasma glucose, body weight, proinsulin/C-peptide ratio, homeostatic model assessment 2-%B and adverse events. Patients also underwent mixed-meal tolerance tests. RESULTS The difference between the T + C and T + P groups for HbA1c change from baseline to week 24 was -0.88% (least-squares mean, P < .001). Fasting plasma glucose, body weight and the proinsulin/C-peptide ratio were significantly lower in the T + C group than in the T + P group. Homeostatic model assessment 2-%B improved with T + C compared with T + P. The T + C group exhibited a decrease in the 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose and plasma glucose area under the curve (AUC)0-2h in a mixed-meal tolerance test. No significant between-group differences were observed for C-peptide AUC0-2h or glucagon AUC0-2h after meals. Incidences of adverse events were 60.0% and 47.1% in the T + C and T + P groups, respectively. No hypoglycaemia was observed. CONCLUSIONS Canagliflozin administered as add-on therapy to teneligliptin was effective and well tolerated in Japanese T2DM patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a class of oral hypoglycemic agents. We undertake a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective studies to determine the effect of SGLT2 on blood pressure (BP) among individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS AND RESULTS PubMed-Medline, Web of Science, Cochrane Database, and Google Scholar databases were searched to identify trial registries evaluating the impact of SGLT2 on BP. Random-effects models meta-analysis was used for quantitative data synthesis. The meta-analysis indicated a significant reduction in systolic BP following treatment with SGLT2 (weighted mean difference -2.46 mm Hg [95% CI -2.86 to -2.06]). The weighted mean differences for the effect on diastolic BP was -1.46 mm Hg (95% CI -1.82 to -1.09). In these subjects the weighted mean difference effects on serum triglycerides and total cholesterol were -2.08 mg/dL (95% CI -2.51 to -1.64) and 0.77 mg/dL (95% CI 0.33-1.21), respectively. The weighted mean differences for the effect of SGLT2 on body weight was -1.88 kg (95% CI -2.11 to -1.66) across all studies. These findings were robust in sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS Treatment with SGLT2 glucose cotransporter inhibitors therefore has beneficial off-target effects on BP in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and may also be of value in improving other cardiometabolic parameters including lipid profile and body weight in addition to their expected effects on glycemic control. However, our findings should be interpreted with consideration for the moderate statistical heterogeneity across the included studies.
