Comparative effectiveness of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors for new-onset gastric cancer and gastric diseases in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a population-based cohort study. Gastric Cancer 2024:10.1007/s10120-024-01512-7. [PMID: 38856768 DOI: 10.1007/s10120-024-01512-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the risks of gastric cancer and other gastric diseases in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) exposed to sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2I), dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4I) or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1a). DESIGN This was a population-based cohort study of prospectively collected data on patients with T2DM prescribed SGLT2I, DPP4I or GLP1a between January 1st 2015 and December 31st 2020 from Hong Kong. The outcomes were new-onset gastric cancer, peptic ulcer (PU), acute gastritis, non-acute gastritis, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Propensity score matching (1:1) using the nearest neighbour search was performed, and multivariable Cox regression was applied. A three-arm comparison between SGLT2I, DPP4I and GLP1a was conducted using propensity scores with inverse probability of treatment weighting. RESULTS A total of 62,858 patients (median age: 62.2 years old [SD: 12.8]; 55.93% males; SGLT2I: n = 23,442; DPP4I: n = 39,416) were included. In the matched cohort, the incidence of gastric cancer was lower in SGLT2I (Incidence rate per 1000 person-year, IR: 0.32; 95% confidence interval, CI 0.23-0.43) than in DPP4I (IR per 1000 person-year: 1.22; CI 1.03-1.42) users. Multivariable Cox regression found that SGLT2I use was associated with lower risks of gastric cancer (HR 0.30; 95% CI 0.19-0.48), PU, acute gastritis, non-acute gastritis, and GERD (p < 0.05) compared to DPP4I use. In the three-arm analysis, GLP1a use was associated with higher risks of gastric cancer and GERD compared to SGLT2I use. CONCLUSIONS The use of SGLT2I was associated with lower risks of new-onset gastric cancer, PU, acute gastritis, non-acute gastritis, and GERD after matching and adjustments compared to DPP4I use. SGLT2I use was associated with lower risks of GERD and gastric cancer compared to GLP1a use.

Shorter-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists are associated with increased development of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease and its complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a population-level retrospective matched cohort study. Gut 2024; 73:246-254. [PMID: 37739778 DOI: 10.1136/gutjnl-2023-329651] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/30/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Shorter half-life glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) delay gastric emptying (DGE) more than GLP-1 RAs with longer half-lives. DGE is a known risk factor for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and its complications. AIM To determine whether short-acting or long-acting GLP-1 RAs are associated with an increased risk of new GERD or GERD-related complications DESIGN: We used the TriNetX global database to identify adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and generated two cohorts totalling 1 543 351 patients on (1) GLP-1 RA or (2) other second-line diabetes medication. Using propensity-score matching, Kaplan-Meier Analysis and Cox-proportional hazards ratio (HR), we analysed outcomes and separately examined outcomes in patients starting short-acting (≤1 day) and long-acting (≥5 days) GLP-1 RAs. RESULTS 177 666 patients were in each propensity-matched cohort. GLP-1 RA exposure was associated with an increased risk (HR 1.15; 95% CI 1.09 to 1.22) of erosive reflux disease (ERD). However, this was solely due to short-acting (HR 1.215; 95% CI 1.111 to 1.328), but not long-acting (HR 0.994; 95% CI 0.924 to 1.069) GLP-1 RA exposure. Short-acting GLP-1 RAs were also associated with increased risk of oesophageal stricture (HR 1.284; 95% CI 1.135 to 1.453), Barrett's without dysplasia (HR 1.372; 95% CI 1.217 to 1.546) and Barrett's with dysplasia (HR 1.505; 95% CI 1.164 to 1.946) whereas long-acting GLP-1 RAs were not. This association persisted in sensitivity analyses, and when individually examining the short-acting GLP-1 RAs liraglutide, lixisenatide and exenatide. CONCLUSION Starting shorter-acting GLP-1 RAs is associated with increased risks of GERD and its complications.

Front Pharmacol 2023; 14:1320458. [PMID: 38186645 PMCID: PMC10771301 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1320458] [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: 10/12/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Mepolizumab is primarily used in the treatment of asthma, eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, eosinophilia syndrome, and chronic rhinitis with nasal polyps. The information about its adverse drug reactions is mainly derived from clinical trials, and there is a shortage of real-world studies with extensive sample sizes. In this study, the U.S. FDA's Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database was analyzed to evaluate the side effects of mepolizumab. A total of 18,040 reports of mepolizumab-associated adverse events were identified from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System database. Multiple disproportionality analysis algorithms were used to determine the significance of these AEs. The study identified 198 instances of mepolizumab-induced AEs, including some important AEs not mentioned in the product labeling. The time to onset of adverse reactions was also analyzed, with a median time of 109 days. Most AEs occurred within the first month of mepolizumab use, but some may still occur after 1 year of treatment. Gender-specific analysis showed different high-risk AEs for females (digestive and neurological side effects) and males (serious adverse effects leading to hospitalization and death). The findings mentioned provide valuable insights on optimizing the use of mepolizumab, enhancing its effectiveness, and minimizing potential side effects. This information will greatly contribute to the practical implementation of the drug in clinical settings.

Angioedema Caused by Drugs That Prevent the Degradation of Vasoactive Peptides: A Pharmacovigilance Database Study. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10235507. [PMID: 34884209 PMCID: PMC8658484 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10235507] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2021] [Revised: 11/20/2021] [Accepted: 11/24/2021] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Angioedema results from the decreased degradation of vasoactive peptides such as substance P and bradykinin. In this study, we sought to clarify whether dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors that suppress the degradation of substance P and bradykinin are involved in angioedema onset. We calculated information coefficients (ICs) by performing a disproportionality analysis to evaluate DPP-4/ACE inhibitor-induced angioedema using the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report (JADER) database. No angioedema signals were detected for DPP-4 inhibitors; however, a signal was detected for ACE inhibitors (IC: 2.42, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.19 to 2.65). Of the patients treated with DPP-4 inhibitors, four developed drug-induced angioedema in combination with ACE inhibitors, and all were taking vildagliptin. Signals were detected for enalapril (IC: 2.39, 95% CI: 2.06 to 2.71), imidapril (IC: 2.83, 95% CI: 2.38 to 3.27), lisinopril (IC: 2.28, 95% CI: 1.55 to 3.00), temocapril (IC: 1.35, 95% CI: 0.29 to 2.40), and trandolapril (IC: 1.57, 95% CI: 0.19 to 2.95). Both inhibitors inhibited the degradation of substance P and bradykinin and were thus expected to cause angioedema. However, no signal of angioedema was detected with the DPP-4 inhibitors, in contrast to some ACE inhibitors. This study found that ACE inhibitors and DPP-4 inhibitors, which inhibit the degradation of substance P and bradykinin, tended to have different effects on the onset of angioedema in clinical practice.

Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 Receptor Agonist (GLP1RA) Exposure and Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review of Population-Based Observational Studies. Diabetes Ther 2021; 12:969-989. [PMID: 33635502 PMCID: PMC7994483 DOI: 10.1007/s13300-021-01021-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2021] [Accepted: 01/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1RAs) are licensed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D). They have been shown to be safe (from the cardiovascular (CV) perspective) and effective (in terms of glycaemia, and in some cases, reducing CV events) in extensive randomised controlled trials (RCTs). However, there remain concerns regarding the generalisability of these findings (to those ineligible for RCT participation) and about non-CV safety. For effectiveness, population-based pharmacoepidemiology studies can confirm and extend the findings of RCTs findings to broader populations and explore safety, for which RCTs are not usually powered, in more detail. METHOD We did a pre-planned and registered (PROSPERO registration CRD42020165720) systematic review of population-based studies investigating GLP1RA effectiveness and safety, following Meta-analyses Of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) guidelines. RESULTS A total of 22 studies were identified (including 200,148 participants and 396,457 person-years of follow-up) exploring exposure to GLP1RA class, exenatide and liraglutide (the only individual drugs with treatment effect estimates identified) on mortality, cardiovascular disease (CVD), acute pancreatitis (AP), pancreatic cancer (PC), thyroid cancer (TC), acute renal failure (ARF), diabetic retinopathy (DR), breast cancer (BC) and hypoglycaemia. For CV and mortality outcomes, studies confirmed the associated safety of these drugs. For liraglutide, point estimate (PE) range (PER) major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (0.53-0.95) and PER heart failure (0.34-1.22) were similar in direction to the beneficial effect observed in RCTs for MACE but varied widely for heart failure. For safety outcomes, exposure was not associated with AP (PER 0.50-1.17), PC (PER 0.40-1.54), BC (PER 0.90-1.51) or hypoglycaemia (PER 0.59-1.06). Only one study was identified exploring each of TC (no evidence of association, hazard ratio (HR) 1.46, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.98-2.19), renal outcomes (no evidence of association, HR 0.77, 95% CI 0.42-1.41) and DR (no evidence of association, HR 0.67, 95% CI 0.51-0.90). CONCLUSION In T2D, GLP1RAs appear safe from the CV perspective and (for liraglutide) may have associated benefit in primary as well as secondary CVD prevention. For non-CV safety, GLP1RA exposure was not associated with an increased risk of AP, PC, BC or hypoglycaemia; the other outcomes had too few studies to draw firm conclusions and should be explored further.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Short-acting glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) decelerate gastric emptying more than long-acting GLP-1 RAs. Delayed gastric emptying is a risk factor for gastroesophageal reflux disease. We aimed to measure esophageal reflux and function as well as gastric emptying and acid secretion during treatment with short-acting (lixisenatide) and long-acting (liraglutide) GLP-1 RAs. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 57 subjects with type 2 diabetes were randomized to a 10-week treatment with lixisenatide or liraglutide. Changes from baseline in the number of reflux episodes during 24-h pH registration in the lower esophagus, lower esophagus sphincter pressure, gastric emptying (13C-sodium octanoate acid breath test), and gastric acid secretion (13C-calcium carbonate breath test) were analyzed. RESULTS Gastric emptying half-time was delayed by 52 min (Δ 95% CI 16, 88) with lixisenatide (P = 0.0065) and by 25 min (3, 46) with liraglutide (P = 0.025). There was no difference in the number of reflux episodes (mean ± SEM 33.7 ± 4.1 vs. 40.1 ± 5.3 for lixisenatide and liraglutide, respectively, P = 0.17) or the extent of gastroesophageal reflux (DeMeester score) (35.1 ± 6.7 vs. 39.7 ± 7.5, P = 0.61), with similar results for the individual GLP-1 RAs. No significant changes from baseline in other parameters of esophageal motility and lower esophageal sphincter function were observed. Gastric acidity decreased significantly by -20.7% (-40.6, -0.8) (P = 0.042) with the GLP-1 RAs. CONCLUSIONS Lixisenatide exerted a more pronounced influence on gastric emptying after breakfast than liraglutide. Neither lixisenatide nor liraglutide had significant effects on esophageal reflux or motility. Gastric acid secretion appears to be slightly reduced by GLP-1 RAs.

Abstract
PURPOSE Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP-4-Is), a kind of drug used for the treatment of diabetes, is considered to prevent the degradation of substance P that suppresses the occurrence of dysphagia. On the other hand, DPP-4 inhibitors are also known to act on the immune system. In this study, we used a spontaneous reporting system to evaluate the signals for dysphagia and aspiration pneumonia with DPP-4-Is. METHODS We calculated reporting odds ratio (ROR) and information coefficients (IC) as disproportionality analysis to evaluate DPP-4-Is induced dysphagia and aspiration pneumonia using the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report (JADER) database. RESULTS For DPP-4-Is as a class, no signals were detected for dysphagia, but the signal for aspiration pneumonia was detected at ROR 1.67 (95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.20 to 2.34) and IC 0.70 (95% CI: 0.21 to 1.19). For aspiration pneumonia, trelagliptin was the only drug among the DPP-4-Is for which both ROR and IC signals were detected (ROR 9.99, 95% CI: 4.10 to 24.36; IC: 1.98, 95% CI: 0.78 to 3.18). ROR signals, but not IC signals, were detected for linagliptin (ROR 2.66, 95% CI: 1.19 to 5.94; IC: 1.09, 95% CI: - 0.004 to 2.19) and sitagliptin (ROR 1.84, 95% CI: 1.04 to 3.25; IC: 0.78, 95% CI: - 0.03 to 1.58). CONCLUSION Since DPP-4 inhibitors prevent the degradation of substance P involved in swallowing reflex, DPP-4 inhibitors were expected to prevent dysphagia and aspiration pneumonia. However, this study revealed that DPP-4 inhibitors strongly were associated with onset rather than preventing aspiration pneumonia. This result suggests that DPP-4 inhibitors may affect the immune function associated with the development of aspiration pneumonia. Furthermore, there is a possibility that the amount of DPP-4-Is used clinically cannot increase the amount of substance P in sufficient quantity to prevent aspiration pneumonia.

Abstract
Concomitant use of multiple drugs for therapeutic purposes is known as “polypharmacy situations,” which has been recognized as an important social problem recently. In polypharmacy situations, each drug not only induces adverse events (AEs) but also increases the risk of AEs due to drug–drug interactions (DDIs). The proportion of AEs caused by DDIs is estimated to be around 30% of unexpected AEs. The randomized clinical trials in pre-marketing typically focus emphasis on the verification of single drug safety and efficacy rather than the surveys of DDI, and therefore, patients on multiple drugs are usually excluded. However, unlike pre-marketing randomized clinical trials, in clinical practice (= post marketing), many patients use multiple drugs. The spontaneous reporting system is one of the significant sources drug safety surveillance in post-marketing. Commonly, signals of potential drug-induced AEs detected from this source are validated in real-world settings. Recently, not only methodological studies on signal detection of “single” drug, but also on several methodological studies on signal detection of DDIs have been conducted. On the other hand, there are few articles that systematically summarize the statistical methodology for signal detection of DDIs. Therefore, this article reviews the studies on the latest statistical methodologies from classical methodologies for signal detection of DDIs using spontaneous reporting system. This article describes how to calculate for each detection method and the major findings from the published literatures about DDIs. Finally, this article presented several limitations related to the currently used methodologies for signal detection of DDIs and suggestions for further studies.

Abstract
Breakpoint cluster region‐Abelson murine leukemia (BCR‐ABL) inhibitors markedly improve the prognosis of chronic myeloid leukemia. However, high treatment adherence is necessary for successful treatment with BCR‐ABL inhibitors. Therefore, an adequate understanding of the adverse event profiles of BCR‐ABL inhibitors is essential. Although many adverse events are observed in trials, an accurate identification of adverse events based only on clinical trial results is difficult because of strict entry criteria or limited follow‐up durations. In particular, BCR‐ABL inhibitor‐induced impaired glucose metabolism remains controversial. Pharmacovigilance evaluations using spontaneous reporting systems are useful for analyzing drug‐related adverse events in clinical settings. Therefore, we conducted signal detection analyses for BCR‐ABL inhibitor‐induced impaired glucose metabolism by using the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) and Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report (JADER) database. Signals for an increased reporting rate of impaired glucose metabolism were detected only for nilotinib use, whereas these signals were not detected for other BCR‐ABL inhibitors. Subgroup analyses showed a clearly increased nilotinib‐associated reporting rate of impaired glucose metabolism in male and younger patients. Although FAERS‐ and JADER‐based signal detection analyses cannot determine causality perfectly, our study suggests the effects on glucose metabolism are different between BCR‐ABL inhibitors and provides useful information for the selection of appropriate BCR‐ABL inhibitors.
