Abstract
INTRODUCTION The effects of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4is) and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) on quality of life (QOL) and treatment satisfaction have not been directly compared. This sub-analysis of a randomized-controlled trial with an SGLT2i, luseogliflozin, and DPP-4is compared their effects on QOL and treatment satisfaction of patients. METHODS This study recruited 623 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were drug-naïve or treated with antidiabetic agents other than SGLT2is and DPP-4is. The patients were randomized into luseogliflozin or DPP-4i group and followed for 52 weeks. This sub-analysis assessed QOL and treatment satisfaction using Oral Hypoglycemic Agent Questionnaire (OHA-Q) version 2 in the drug-naïve subgroup who were drug-naïve at baseline and with monotherapy with luseogliflozin or DPP-4i throughout the observation period (256 patients) at 24 and 52 weeks and in the add-on subgroup who were treated with OHAs other than SGLT2is and DPP-4is (204 patients) at baseline, 24 and 52 weeks. RESULTS In the drug-naïve subgroup, total (50.8 ± 8.2 in luseogliflozin group and 53.1 ± 10.0 in DPP-4i group, p = 0.048) and somatic symptom scores (22.4 ± 5.0 in luseogliflozin group and 24.4 ± 5.8 in DPP-4i group, p = 0.005) at 52 weeks (but not at 24 weeks) were significantly higher in DPP-4i group than in luseogliflozin group. In add-on subgroup, changes in total (3.3 ± 7.8 in luseogliflozin group and 0.9 ± 7.6 in DPP-4i group, p = 0.030) and treatment convenience (1.2 ± 3.9 in luseogliflozin group and - 0.6 ± 4.2 in DPP-4i group, p = 0.002) from baseline to 24 weeks (but not at 52 weeks) were significantly greater in luseogliflozin group than in DPP-4i group. The QOL related to safety or glycemic control was comparable between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Physicians should pay attention to side effects of SGLT2is to maintain the patients' QOL when SGLT2is are initiated or added-on. Add-on of luseogliflozin increased patients' QOL more than DPP-4is. Considering patients' QOL and treatment satisfaction is important for selecting SGLT2is or DPP-4is.

Abstract
AIM To assess the use of non-insulin antidiabetic medicines in China. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analysed the national procurement data for 29 non-insulin antidiabetic medicines from nine subgroups in China from 2015 to 2022. We estimated the number of defined daily doses (DDDs) procured per year in seven regions of China for nine subgroups and adjusted the data by the number of patients with diabetes. For each subgroup, the regional ratio was calculated by comparing the procurement per patient in each region with the procurement nationwide. The regional disparity was the difference between the highest and lowest regional ratios. We compared the medication patterns across regions. RESULTS Nationally, between 2015 and 2022, the number of DDDs per patient increased from 14.45 to 47.37. The two most commonly used categories were sulphonylurea and biguanides, which increased from 7.04 to 15.39 (119%) and 3.28 to 11.11 (239%) DDDs per patient, respectively. The procurement of new drugs (dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists) increased quickly and had >5000% relative changes. Particularly for sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitors, it increased from 0.08 to 5.03 DDDs (6662%). The southwest region had the highest relative change (319%), while the southern region had the lowest (118%). Biguanide and thiazolidinediones had the lowest (1.19) and highest level (2.21) of regional disparity in 2022, respectively. CONCLUSION The procurement of non-insulin antidiabetic medicines in China has increased a lot from 2015 to 2022. In terms of DDDs per patient, sulphonylurea ranked first, followed by metformin. The procurement of new drugs increased greatly. A large regional disparity existed in medicine usage and patterns.

Abstract
AIM To assess whether oral semaglutide provides better glycaemic control, compared with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP-4i) continuation, in people with type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this multicentre, open-label, prospective, randomized, parallel-group comparison study, participants receiving DPP-4is were either switched to oral semaglutide (3-14 mg/day) or continued on DPP-4is. The primary endpoint was the change in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) over 24 weeks. Secondary endpoints included changes in metabolic parameters and biomarkers, along with the occurrence of adverse events. Factors associated with HbA1c improvement were also explored. RESULTS In total, 174 eligible participants were enrolled; 17 dropped out of the study. Consequently, 82 participants in the DPP-4i group and 75 participants in the semaglutide group completed the study and were included in the analysis. Improvement in HbA1c at week 24 was significantly greater when switching to semaglutide compared with DPP-4i continuation [-0.65 (95% confidence interval: -0.79, -0.51) vs. +0.05 (95% confidence interval: -0.07, 0.16) (p < .001)]. Body weight, lipid profiles and liver enzymes were significantly improved in the semaglutide group than in the DPP-4i continuation group. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that baseline HbA1c and homeostasis model assessment 2-R were independently associated with HbA1c improvement after switching to semaglutide. Seven participants in the semaglutide group discontinued medication because of gastrointestinal symptoms. CONCLUSIONS Although the potential for gastrointestinal symptoms should be carefully considered, switching from DPP-4is to oral semaglutide may be beneficial for glycaemic control and metabolic abnormalities in people with higher HbA1c and insulin resistance.

Abstract
AIMS To assess the potential for precision medicine in type 2 diabetes by quantifying the variability of body weight as response to pharmacological treatment and to identify predictors which could explain this variability. METHODS We used randomized clinical trials (RCTs) comparing glucose-lowering drugs (including but not limited to sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and thiazolidinediones) to placebo from four recent systematic reviews. RCTs reporting on body weight after treatment to allow for calculation of its logarithmic standard deviation (log[SD], i.e., treatment response heterogeneity) in verum (i.e., treatment) and placebo groups were included. Meta-regression analyses were performed with respect to variability of body weight after treatment and potential predictors. RESULTS A total of 120 RCTs with a total of 43 663 participants were analysed. A slightly larger treatment response heterogeneity was shown in the verum groups, with a median log(SD) of 2.83 compared to 2.79 from placebo. After full adjustment in the meta-regression model, the difference in body weight log(SD) was -0.026 (95% confidence interval -0.044; 0.008), with greater variability in the placebo groups. Scatterplots did not show any slope divergence (i.e., interaction) between clinical predictors and the respective treatment (verum or placebo). CONCLUSIONS We found no major treatment response heterogeneity in RCTs of glucose-lowering drugs for body weight reduction in type 2 diabetes. The precision medicine approach may thus be of limited value in this setting.

Abstract
AIM To employ a model-informed drug development approach in facilitating decision making and expediting the clinical progress of cofrogliptin (HSK7653), a novel ultralong-acting dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D) via a biweekly dosing regimen. METHODS Firstly, a population pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PopPKPD) model was developed using PK and PD data from a single ascending dose study to simulate the PK and PD time profiles of HSK7653 after multiple doses. Secondly, model-based meta-analysis (MBMA) was performed on published clinical studies of Eastern Asian subjects for all DPP-4 inhibitors. We hypothesized a consistent relationship between PK and DPP-4 inhibition in both healthy individuals and in those with T2D, establishing a quantitative correlation between DPP-4 inhibition and HbA1c. Finally, the predicted PK/DPP-4 inhibition/HbA1c profiles were validated by T2D patients in late clinical trials. RESULTS The PK/DPP-4 inhibition/HbA1c profiles of T2D patients treated with HSK7653 matched the modelled data. Our PopPKPD and MBMA models predict multiple ascending dosing PK and PD characteristics from single ascending dosing data, as well as the long-term efficacy in T2D patients, based on healthy subjects. CONCLUSIONS Successful waiver approval for the phase 2b dose-finding study was achieved through model-informed recommendations, facilitating the clinical development of HSK7653 and other DPP-4 inhibitors.

Abstract
Clinical trials have revealed that sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors suppress the onset of heart failure and cardiovascular death in diabetic patients. On the other hand, few reports have been published concerning such effects of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors. We undertook the present study to evaluate the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors and DPP-4 inhibitors on the advanced glycation end products (AGEs), well known as a risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disorders.Type 2 diabetes mellitus were divided into two groups and treated with either SGLT2 inhibitors or DPP-4 inhibitors for 3 months. Before and after the 3-month treatment period with each drug, the AGEs and diabetes-related parameters were measured. Methylglyoxal-derived hydroimidazolone-1 (MG-H1) was measured as one of the AGEs.In the SGLT2 inhibitor group, both the blood HbA1c and MG-H1 levels decreased significantly after the 3-month treatment period. In the DPP-4 inhibitor group, only the blood HbA1c level decreased significantly, with no significant change of the blood MG-H1 level.SGLT2 inhibitor reduced both the blood levels of HbA1c and AGEs (MG-H1). Considering that the blood levels of AGEs are associated with the risk of heart failure and cardiovascular disorders, the results of the present study suggest that the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors in suppressing cardiovascular death might be mediated by the reduction in the blood levels of AGEs induced by this class of drugs. DPP-4 inhibitors showed no significant effects on the blood levels of AGEs.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety/tolerability of imeglimin, a novel oral antihyperglycemic agent, administered as monotherapy and adjunctive therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. MATERIALS AND METHODS Parallel-group randomized controlled trials comparing imeglimin with placebo in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus were included. Risk ratios or weighted mean differences (WMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using random effects models. The primary outcome for efficacy was the change in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Secondary outcomes included other efficacy-related outcomes, specific adverse events, and changes in body weight and lipid parameters. RESULTS Nine randomized controlled trials (n = 1,655) were included. When analyzed by dose, there was a significant difference in glycated hemoglobin (%) between imeglimin monotherapy and placebo at doses >1,000 mg twice daily (1,000 mg: studies N = 3, patients n = 517, WMD = -0.714, P < 0.001; 1,500 mg: N = 5, n = 448, WMD = -0.531, P = 0.020; 2,000 mg: N = 1, n = 149, WMD = -0.450, P = 0.005). Imeglimin adjunctive therapy significantly improved glycated hemoglobin over placebo at doses of 1,000 mg (N = 1, n = 214, WMD = -0.600, P < 0.001) and 1,500 mg (N = 2, n = 324, WMD = -0.576, P < 0.001). Subgroup analysis of the primary outcome showed that imeglimin was effective regardless of chronic kidney disease category, with studies carried out in Japan and in patients with lower body mass index showing a trend toward improved imeglimin efficacy. There were no significant differences between imeglimin and placebo in the risk of all-cause discontinuation and the proportion of patients who presented with at least one adverse event. CONCLUSIONS Imeglimin is efficacious, safe, and well tolerated as monotherapy and adjunctive therapy.

Abstract
BACKGRUOUND This study investigates the long-term efficacy and safety of evogliptin add-on therapy in patients with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) previously received dapagliflozin and metformin (DAPA/MET) combination. METHODS In this multicenter randomized placebo-controlled phase 3 trial, patients with glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels 7.0% to 10.5% (n=283) previously used DAPA 10 mg plus MET (≥1,000 mg) were randomly assigned to the evogliptin 5 mg once daily or placebo group (1:1). The primary endpoint was the difference in the HbA1c level from baseline at week 24, and exploratory endpoints included the efficacy and safety of evogliptin over 52 weeks (trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04170998). RESULTS Evogliptin add-on to DAPA/MET therapy was superior in HbA1c reduction compared to placebo at weeks 24 and 52 (least square [LS] mean difference, -0.65% and -0.55%; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.79 to -0.51 and -0.71 to -0.39; P<0.0001). The proportion of patients achieving HbA1c <7% was higher in the triple combination group at week 52 (32.14% vs. 8.51% in placebo; odds ratio, 5.62; P<0.0001). Evogliptin significantly reduced the fasting glucose levels and mean daily glucose levels with improvement in homeostatic model assessment of β-cell function (LS mean difference, 9.04; 95% CI, 1.86 to 16.21; P=0.0138). Adverse events were similar between the groups, and no serious adverse drug reactions were reported in the evogliptin group. CONCLUSION Long-term triple combination with evogliptin added to DAPA/MET showed superior HbA1c reduction and glycemic control compared to placebo at 52 weeks and was well tolerated.

Abstract
Introduction The CAPTURE study estimated the global prevalence of established cardiovascular disease (CVD) and characterized the usage of glucose-lowering agents (GLAs) in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) across 13 countries. The purpose of this secondary analysis of data from the Japanese sites within CAPTURE (NCT03786406, NCT03811288) was to provide data about medication usage stratified by CVD status among Japanese participants with T2D. Materials and methods Data on GLA usage (including those with proven cardiovascular [CV] benefits) in Japanese participants with T2D managed in clinics or hospitals were collected and stratified by CVD subgroups. Results There were 800 Japanese participants in the CAPTURE study (n = 502 [no CVD group], n = 298 [CVD group], n = 268 [atherosclerotic CVD subgroup]). Oral antidiabetic agents and insulin were used by 88.5% and 23.4%, respectively, of participants overall. Among participants with established CVD, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (65.1%) were most frequently used, followed by biguanides (50.7%) and insulins (26.2%). The pattern was similar among participants with atherosclerotic CVD. A lower proportion of participants in the CVD group used glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is) with proven CV benefits versus the no CVD group (GLP-1 RAs: 7.0% vs. 8.6%; SGLT-2is: 13.4% vs. 19.1%). Conclusion This analysis of the CAPTURE study provided a comprehensive overview of prescription patterns for the treatment of T2D in Japan. Use of GLAs with proven CV benefit was low, even in participants with established CVD, which was comparable to the findings from the global cohort.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Preference for quality of life is important in deciding the treatment strategy for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study aimed to assess the effect of omarigliptin on patients' psychological attitudes and responses compared with daily dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4is) by measuring the burden of pharmacotherapy using the Diabetic Treatment Burden Questionnaire (DTBQ). METHODS Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were taking daily DPP-4is were enrolled and randomized to a group that switched to omarigliptin or a group that continued daily DPP4is and were monitored for 12 weeks. The primary endpoint was the change in the DTBQ score from baseline to week 12. The secondary endpoints included changes in blood test results, medication preferences and medication adherence. RESULTS The DTBQ total score significantly decreased from baseline to week 12 in both groups; however, no significant intergroup differences were observed. The DTBQ subscale, implementation and flexibility burden scores significantly decreased in the group that switched to omarigliptin, although no significant intergroup difference in the change was observed. DTBQ scores and medication preferences were associated with improvements in the DTBQ scores. CONCLUSION Although this study failed to demonstrate the improvement of DTBQ total score by switching from daily DPP4is to omarigliptin compared with continuing the daily DPP4is, the DTBQ subscale score implementation and flexibility burden score were significantly improved only in the group that switched to omarigliptin, suggesting the possibility of switching from daily DPP4is to omarigliptin to decrease the patients' medication burden.

Abstract
We previously reported in the study of preventive effects of alogliptin on diabetic atherosclerosis (SPEAD-A) that alogliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, attenuated the progression of carotid atherosclerosis in subjects with type 2 diabetes and no history of cardiovascular disease. This extension study of the SPEAD-A trial investigated whether early alogliptin initiation improved long-term cardiovascular outcomes. The SPEAD-A trial randomized 341 subjects with type 2 diabetes to either alogliptin or conventional treatment to investigate the effects of alogliptin on atherosclerosis. All subjects who completed that trial were eligible for this prospective, observational cohort study. The primary endpoint was the first occurrence of a major cardiovascular event, defined as death due to any cause, acute myocardial infarction, or stroke. During the 520-week follow-up period, composite primary outcome events occurred in only a few subjects in each group [8 (5.4%) in the alogliptin group and 9 in the conventional treatment group (5.9%)]. There were no significant differences in the incidence rate of the primary outcome between the two groups. Post hoc Poisson regression analysis showed no significant difference between the two groups in the incidence rate of composite recurrence events for the same outcomes as the primary endpoint. On the other hand, this incidence rate was significantly lower in subjects who received DPP-4 inhibitors before an initial cardiovascular event than in those who did not (5.8 vs. 13.3 per 1000 person-years, respectively, p = 0.04). Early initiation of alogliptin was not associated with a reduced risk of composite cardiovascular disease, which could be attributed to fewer events and/or the addition of DPP-4 inhibitors during the follow-up period.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the effects of gemigliptin on cardiac function and compare the effects of gemigliptin and glimepiride in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty T2D patients being treated with metformin were assigned to a gemigliptin group (50 mg daily) or a glimepiride group (2 mg daily) for 24 weeks. The preadjudicated extension period was up to 52 weeks. Glucose metabolism variables and cardiac biomarkers were measured. Echocardiography was used to evaluate cardiac functions. RESULTS The HbA1c levels decreased significantly from 8.1% ± 0.6% to 6.8% ± 0.6% in the gemigliptin group and from 8.1% ± 0.6% to 7.0% ± 0.7% in the glimepiride group, without a between-group difference. Gemigliptin reduced insulin resistance, high sensitivity C-reactive protein and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, and blood pressure, and increased adiponectin level compared with glimepiride therapy. Gemigliptin induced favourable changes in body composition. Left ventricular end-diastolic volume decreased in the gemigliptin group but increased in the glimepiride group, with a borderline between-group difference. Cardiac biomarkers did not change significantly in either group. At 52 weeks, the HbA1c levels in both groups increased slightly; 7.3% ± 0.8% in the gemigliptin group versus 7.7% ± 1.3% in the glimepiride group, without a between-group difference. CONCLUSIONS Gemigliptin had a comparable glucose-lowering efficacy without deleterious effects on cardiac functions or on biomarkers reflective of myocardial injury or heart failure during the 24-week observation period. However, larger, longer-term studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The projected 68% increase in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) in the upcoming decades and the specific pathophysiological course of the disease are critical factors for the development of optimal disease management tactics in the Asian population. It is now known that β-cell dysfunction is dominant in the pathogenesis of T2D in Asians. In a number of Asian countries, incretin therapy is the leading therapy. AIM To review literature on glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion and clinical trial results of GLP-1 receptor agonist class (GLP-1RA) drugs as well as to evaluate their effectiveness in Asian population with T2D. MATERIALS AND METHODS A review of studies on pathophysiological aspects of GLP-1 secretion and evaluation of the efficacy of therapy with GLP-1RA preparations registered and used in clinical practice in Asian regions. RESULTS Several studies in Asian countries have shown that intact GLP-1 levels were significantly lower in both T2D patients and healthy Japanese volunteers; as well as in patients with impaired glucose tolerance. It is suggested that either impaired secretion of GLP-1 in the gut, accelerated processing by dipeptidyl peptidase-4, or a combination of both are responsible for the decrease in GLP-1. The greater efficacy of GLP-1RA treatment in achieving glycemic control in Asian T2D patients was presented by Kim Y.G. et al. in a meta-analysis of 15 randomised controlled trials, the reduction in HbA1c on GLP-1RA treatment averaged -1.16% in Asian-dominated studies and -0.83% in non-Asian-dominated studies. In the PIONEER 9 clinical programme, similar results were obtained, with oral semaglutide having a more pronounced effect on glycaemic control in Japanese patients. Thus, the mean change in HbA 1c was -1.1%, 7 mg -1.5%, and 14 mg -1.7% at the 3 mg dose; whereas in the PIONEER 1 study in the global population, the mean change in HbA1c was -0.6%, -0.9% and -1.1% for 3, 7, 14 mg semaglutide, respectively. The PIONEER 10 study concluded that oral semaglutide was well tolerated by Japanese patients with T2D. Oral semaglutide reduced HbA1c (14 mg dose) and body weight (7 and 14 mg doses) more significantly compared to dulaglutide at 0.75 mg dose. Results of a pooled analysis of long-acting GLP-1RA showed a more significant reduction in cardiovascular event risk in the Asian subpopulation. CONCLUSION The presented review describes benefits in glycemic control as well as in the reduction of relative cardiovascular event risks with GLP-1RA treatment in the Asian population, which requires further in-depth research and implies optimal management tactics in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to evaluate changes in glycemic control and diabetes treatment by age group in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS The study included the results of approximately 40,000 patients/year using cross-sectional and retrospective analyses from 2012 to 2019. RESULTS There was little change in the glycemic control status in all age groups during the study period. However, by age group, patients aged ≤ 44 years continued to have the highest glycated hemoglobinA1c (HbA1c) values during the study period (7.4 % ± 1.7 % in 2012 and 7.4 % ± 1.5 % in 2019), especially in insulin-treated patients (8.3 % ± 1.9 % in 2012 and 8.4 % ± 1.8 % in 2019). Biguanides and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors were widely prescribed. Sulfonylurea and insulin use showed a decreasing trend, but older patients had a higher percentage of prescriptions. Sodium glucose transporter 2 inhibitors were prescribed rapidly, especially in younger patients. CONCLUSIONS There were no obvious changes in glycemic control over time in the study period. The mean HbA1c level was higher in younger patients, which suggested that improvement is required. In older patients, there was a trend toward greater emphasis on management to avoid hypoglycemia. Different treatment strategies based on age showed different drug choices.

Abstract
People with fast eating habits have been reported to have an increased risk of diabetes and obesity. To explore whether the speed of eating a test meal (tomato, broccoli, fried fish, and boiled white rice) influences postprandial blood glucose, insulin, triglyceride, and free fatty acid levels, 18 young, healthy women consumed a 671 kcal breakfast at fast speed (10 min) and slow speed (20 min) with vegetables first and slow speed (20 min) with carbohydrate first on three separate days. This study was conducted using a within-participants cross-over design in which all participants consumed identical meals of three different eating speeds and food orders. Significant ameliorations of both fast and slow eating with vegetables first regimen on postprandial blood glucose and insulin levels at 30 and 60 min were observed compared with those of slow eating with carbohydrates first. In addition, the standard deviation, large amplitude of excursion, and incremental area under the curve for blood glucose and insulin in both fast and slow eating with vegetables first were all significantly lower than those of slow eating with carbohydrate first. Interestingly, there was no significant difference between fast and slow eating on postprandial blood glucose and insulin levels as long as vegetables were consumed first, although postprandial blood glucose at 30 min was significantly lower in slow eating with vegetables first than that of fast eating with the same food order. These results suggest that food order with vegetables first and carbohydrate last ameliorates postprandial blood glucose and insulin concentrations even if the meal was consumed at fast speed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors have been shown to exert pleiotropic effects on heart failure (HF) in animal experiments. OBJECTIVES This study sought to investigate the impact of DPP-4 inhibitors on HF patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). METHODS We analyzed hospitalized patients with HF and DM enrolled in the JROADHF (Japanese Registry Of Acute Decompensated Heart Failure) registry, a nationwide registry of acute decompensated HF. Primary exposure was the use of a DPP-4 inhibitor. The primary outcome was a composite of cardiovascular death or HF hospitalization during the median follow-up of 3.6 years according to left ventricular ejection fraction. RESULTS Out of 2,999 eligible patients, 1,130 had heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), 572 had heart failure with midrange ejection fraction (HFmrEF), and 1,297 had heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). In each cohort, 444, 232, and 574 patients received a DPP-4 inhibitor, respectively. A multivariable Cox regression model showed that DPP-4 inhibitor use was associated with a lower composite of cardiovascular death or HF hospitalization in HFpEF (HR: 0.69; 95% CI: 0.55-0.87; P = 0.002) but not in HFmrEF and HFrEF. Restricted cubic spline analysis demonstrated that DPP-4 inhibitors were beneficial in patients with higher left ventricular ejection fraction. In HFpEF cohort, propensity score matching yielded 263 pairs. DPP-4 inhibitor use was associated with a lower incidence rate of the composite of cardiovascular death or HF hospitalization (19.2 vs 25.9 events per 100 patient-years; rate ratio: 0.74; 95% CI: 0.57-0.97; P = 0.027) in matched patients. CONCLUSIONS DPP-4 inhibitor use was associated with better long-term outcomes in HFpEF patients with DM.

Abstract
South Asians, comprising almost one fourth of the world population, are at higher risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and CKD compared with other ethnic groups. This has major public health implications in South Asia and in other parts of the world to where South Asians have immigrated. The interplay of various modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors confers this risk. Traditional models of cardiometabolic disease progression and CKD evaluation may not be applicable in this population with a unique genetic predisposition and phenotype. A wider understanding of dietary and lifestyle influences, genetic and metabolic risk factors, and the pitfalls of conventional equations estimating kidney function in this population are required in providing care for kidney diseases. Targeted screening of this population for metabolic and vascular risk factors and individualized management plan for disease management may be necessary. Addressing unhealthy dietary patterns, promoting physical activity, and medication management that adheres to cultural factors are crucial steps to mitigate the risk of cardiovascular disease and CKD in this population. In South Asian countries, a large rural and urban community-based multipronged approach using polypills and community health workers to decrease the incidence of these diseases may be cost-effective.

Abstract
In biomedical research, population differences are of central interest. Variations in the frequency and severity of diseases and in treatment effects among human subpopulation groups are common in many medical conditions. Unfortunately, the practices in terms of subpopulation labeling do not exhibit the level of rigor one would expect in biomedical research, especially when studying multifactorial diseases such as cancer or atherosclerosis. The reporting of population differences in clinical research is characterized by large disparities in practices, and fraught with methodological issues and inconsistencies. The actual designations such as "Black" or "Asian" refer to broad and heterogeneous groups, with a great discrepancy among countries. Moreover, the use of obsolete concepts such as "Caucasian" is unfortunate and imprecise. The use of adequate labeling to reflect the scientific hypothesis needs to be promoted. Furthermore, the use of "race/ethnicity" as a unique cause of human heterogeneity may distract from investigating other factors related to a medical condition, particularly if this label is employed as a proxy for cultural habits, diet, or environmental exposure. In addition, the wide range of opinions among researchers does not facilitate the attempts made for resolving this heterogeneity in labeling. "Race," "ethnicity," "ancestry," "geographical origin," and other similar concepts are saturated with meanings. Even if the feasibility of a global consensus on labeling seems difficult, geneticists, sociologists, anthropologists, and ethicists should help develop policies and practices for the biomedical field.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To present longitudinal data from the Real-world Observational Study on Patient Outcomes in Diabetes (RESPOND) in Japan. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In this multicenter, prospective, observational cohort study, patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) newly initiated on monotherapy were followed up for 2 years. Primary outcomes included changes in treatment pattern over time, target hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) attainment and treatment satisfaction per Oral Hypoglycaemic Agent Questionnaire (OHA-Q). RESULTS Among 1474 enrolled patients (male, 62.1%; mean age, 59.7 years; HbA1c, 8.08%), the oral antidiabetic drug (OAD) monotherapy prescription rate decreased to 47.2% and that of 2 and ≥3 OADs increased to 14.8% and 5.4% at 24 months, respectively. Switch/add-on OAD was associated with higher HbA1c and body mass index (BMI), baseline OAD being non-dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP-4i)/non-sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i), diabetes complications, no comorbidities and consulting a diabetes specialist. The mean (SD) HbA1c (%) was 6.73 (0.85) at 24 months. Higher HbA1c, diabetes complications, cardiovascular disease, being employed, no hypertension and younger treating physician were associated with ≥2 OAD classes prescription or target HbA1c non-attainment at 24 months. OHA-Q subscale scores were significantly higher in patients achieving (vs not achieving) target HbA1c and in those continuing monotherapy (vs combination therapy). Baseline age (<65 years), sex (female), HbA1c, alcohol use, use of non-DPP-4i OADs or non-T2DM drugs, diabetes complications and cardiovascular disease had a significant negative impact, while EuroQol five-dimensional five-level and Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities-specific diet scores, BMI and unemployment had a significant positive impact on OHA-Q scores at 24 months. CONCLUSIONS Primary outcomes show real-world treatment patterns and glycemic control over 2 years in patients with T2DM newly initiated on OAD monotherapy in Japan. Key factors associated with durability of initial monotherapy, target achievement or treatment satisfaction included baseline HbA1c, comorbidity and initial OAD choice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Imeglimin is a novel anti-hyperglycemic drug that improves both insulin resistance and insulin secretion. The effects of imeglimin on glycemic control were confirmed in phase III clinical trials, but little is known about its effectiveness in daily clinical practice settings, especially compared with metformin. Therefore, we aim to clarify the efficacy of imeglimin in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) being treated with a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor plus low-dose metformin. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This is a multicenter, randomized, prospective, open-label, parallel-group trial. Seventy participants with T2D treated with a DPP-4 inhibitor plus metformin (500-1000 mg/day) for more than 12 weeks and a glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level of 52-85 mmol/mol (7.0%-9.9%) will be randomized to receive add-on imeglimin 1000 mg two times per day or metformin dose escalation for 24 weeks. Biochemical analyses and physical assessments will be performed at baseline and at the end of the study, and adverse events will be recorded. The primary endpoint is the change in HbA1c after 24 weeks. The secondary endpoints comprise the changes in blood pressure, pulse rate, body weight, abdominal circumference, and other laboratory parameters; the relationship between improvements of biological parameters including glycemic control and patient background characteristics; and side effects. RESULTS This study will reveal new insights into the incorporation of imeglimin into the diabetes treatment strategy. CONCLUSIONS This will be the first randomized controlled trial to compare the efficacy of adding imeglimin versus metformin dose escalation on glycemic control in patients with T2D.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As the disease progresses, many patients with type 2 diabetes have difficulty in reaching treatment goals. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide, a novel GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist, compared with dulaglutide in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS This multicentre, randomised, double-blind, parallel, active-controlled, phase 3 trial was conducted in 46 medical research centres and hospitals in Japan. Adults aged 20 years or older with type 2 diabetes who had discontinued oral antihyperglycaemic monotherapy or were treatment-naïve were included. Participants were randomly assigned (1:1:1:1) to receive tirzepatide (5, 10, or 15 mg) or dulaglutide (0·75 mg) once per week using a computer-generated random sequence with an Interactive Web Response System. Participants were stratified based on baseline HbA1c (≤8·5% or >8·5%), baseline BMI (<25 or ≥25 kg/m2), and washout of antidiabetic medication. Participants, investigators, and the sponsor were masked to treatment assignment. The starting dose of tirzepatide was 2·5 mg once per week for 4 weeks, which was then increased to 5 mg in the tirzepatide 5 mg treatment group. For the tirzepatide 10 and 15 mg treatment groups, increases by 2·5 mg occurred once every 4 weeks until the assigned dose was reached. The primary endpoint was mean change in HbA1c from baseline at week 52 measured in the modified intention-to-treat population. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03861052. FINDINGS Between May 7, 2019, and March 31, 2021, 821 participants were assessed for study eligibility and 636 were randomly assigned to receive at least one dose of tirzepatide 5 mg (n=159), 10 mg (n=158), or 15 mg (n=160), or dulaglutide 0·75 mg (n=159). 615 (97%) participants completed the study and 21 (3%) discontinued. Participants had a mean age of 56·6 years (SD 10·3) and were mostly male (481 [76%]). At week 52, HbA1c decreased from baseline by a least squares mean of -2·4 (SE 0·1) for tirzepatide 5 mg, -2·6 (0·1) for tirzepatide 10 mg, -2·8 (0·1) for tirzepatide 15 mg, and -1·3 (0·1) for dulaglutide. Estimated mean treatment differences versus dulaglutide were -1·1 (95% CI -1·3 to -0·9) for tirzepatide 5 mg, -1·3 (-1·5 to -1·1) for tirzepatide 10 mg, and -1·5 (-1·71 to -1·4) for tirzepatide 15 mg (all p<0·0001). Tirzepatide was associated with dose-dependent reductions in bodyweight with a least square mean difference of -5·8 kg (SE 0·4; -7·8% reduction) for 5 mg, -8·5 kg (0·4; -11·0% reduction) for 10 mg, and -10·7 kg (0·4; -13·9% reduction) for 15 mg of tirzepatide compared with -0·5 kg (0·4; -0·7% reduction) for dulaglutide. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events were nausea (19 [12%] participants in the 5 mg group vs 31 [20%] in the 10 mg group vs 32 [20%] in the 15 mg group all receiving tirzepatide vs 12 (8%) in the group receiving dulaglutide), constipation (24 [15%] vs 28 [18%] vs 22 [14%] vs 17 [11%]), and nasopharyngitis (29 [18%] vs 25 [16%] vs 22 [14%] vs 26 [16%]). The most frequent adverse events were gastrointestinal (23 [4%] of 636). INTERPRETATION Tirzepatide was superior compared with dulaglutide for glycaemic control and reduction in bodyweight. The safety profile of tirzepatide was consistent with that of GLP-1 receptor agonists, indicating a potential therapeutic use in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes. FUNDING Eli Lilly and Company.

Abstract
The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to evaluate the effect of 5-year follow-up of dietitian-led medical nutrition therapy (eating vegetables before carbohydrates) on glycemic control in outpatients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) at a primary care clinic. A total of 138 patients with dietitian-led medical nutrition therapy (intervention group) and 104 patients without dietitian-led nutrition therapy (control group) were compared for glycemic control, serum lipid, blood pressure, and diabetic complications for 5 years. Each patient in the intervention group received dietary education focused on food order (eating vegetables before carbohydrates) by dietitians. A significant improvement in HbA1c after 5 years in the intervention group [8.5 ± 1.7% (69 mmol/mol) to 7.6 ± 1.1% (59 mmol/mol), p < 0.001] was observed, whereas no change was observed in the control group [7.9 ± 1.2% (62 mmol/mol) to 8.0 ± 1.2% (63 mmol/mol)]. Dietary intake of protein, fat, carbohydrates, cholesterol, and salt in the intervention group demonstrated significant reduction, while the intake of dietary fiber significantly increased after the dietary education. Simple dietary education of ‘eating vegetables before carbohydrates’ presented by dietitians achieved good glycemic control after a 5-year period in outpatients with T2DM at primary care clinic.

Abstract
Nearly half of all adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) live in India and China. These populations have an underlying predisposition to deficient insulin secretion, which has a key role in the pathogenesis of T2DM. Indian and Chinese people might be more susceptible to hepatic or skeletal muscle insulin resistance, respectively, than other populations, resulting in specific forms of insulin deficiency. Cluster-based phenotypic analyses demonstrate a higher frequency of severe insulin-deficient diabetes mellitus and younger ages at diagnosis, lower β-cell function, lower insulin resistance and lower BMI among Indian and Chinese people compared with European people. Individuals diagnosed earliest in life have the most aggressive course of disease and the highest risk of complications. These characteristics might contribute to distinctive responses to glucose-lowering medications. Incretin-based agents are particularly effective for lowering glucose levels in these populations; they enhance incretin-augmented insulin secretion and suppress glucagon secretion. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors might also lower blood levels of glucose especially effectively among Asian people, while α-glucosidase inhibitors are better tolerated in east Asian populations versus other populations. Further research is needed to better characterize and address the pathophysiology and phenotypes of T2DM in Indian and Chinese populations, and to further develop individualized treatment strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor (DPP4i) is an effective medicine for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Some articles reported DPP4i improves insulin secretion and insulin resistance. However, these effects are not well established by glucose clamp test and test meal in Japanese. We investigated the effect of DPP4i on insulin resistance and insulin secretion by using the glucose clamp test and meal tolerance test (MTT). METHODS We performed a MTT, and the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp in 8 Japanese patients with T2DM. This study was a single-arm study. We measured fasting and postprandial glucose, insulin, incretins, and glucagon levels. We also measured serum adiponectin levels. RESULTS HbA1c was significantly decreased after 3 months. The fasting and postprandial glucose levels were significantly decreased. Fasting and postprandial insulin levels were not changed. The insulin resistance derived from the glucose clamp test was significantly improved. HOMA-IR was not significantly changed. GLP-1 and GIP were significantly increased but glucagon did not change. Adiponectin was not significantly changed. CONCLUSIONS Although the number of patients was very small, these results suggested that DPP4i treatment might improve insulin resistance without changing insulin secretion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND DUAL I China, one of the DUAL trials, assessed efficacy/safety of insulin degludec/liraglutide (IDegLira) in Chinese adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) not controlled by oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs). METHODS This phase 3a, treat-to-target multicenter trial randomized participants (glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c] 53.0-85.8 mmol/mol; previous metformin ± another OAD) 2:1:1 to IDegLira (n = 361), degludec (n = 179), or liraglutide (n = 180). Primary endpoint was change in HbA1c after 26 weeks. Secondary endpoints included: HbA1c < 53.0 mmol/mol attainment, weight change, treatment-emergent hypoglycemia, end-of-treatment insulin dose, and safety. RESULTS At 26 weeks, HbA1c had decreased by a mean 18.12 mmoL/moL (IDegLira), 12.37 mmoL/moL (degludec) (estimated treatment difference [ETD] -6.50 mmoL/moL; 95% confidence interval [CI] -7.96, -5.04; P < .0001), and 11.33 mmoL/moL (liraglutide) (ETD -6.87 mmoL/moL; 95% CI -8.33, -5.41; P < 0.0001), indicating noninferiority for IDegLira vs degludec and superiority vs liraglutide. HbA1c < 53.0 mmoL/moL attainment was 77.0% (IDegLira), 46.4% (degludec), and 48.3% (liraglutide). Mean weight change with IDegLira (0.1 kg) was superior to degludec (1.2 kg) (ETD -1.08 kg; 96% CI -1.55, -0.62; P < 0.0001). Severe or confirmed hypoglycemic event rates were 0.24 (IDegLira) and 0.17 (degludec) episodes/participant-year (estimated rate ratio 1.46; 95% CI 0.71, 3.02; P = .3008, not significant). At the end of treatment, the IDegLira insulin dose was lower (24.5 U/d) vs degludec (30.3 U/d) (ETD -5.49 U; 95% CI -7.77, -3.21; P < 0.0001). No unexpected safety issues occurred. CONCLUSIONS IDegLira is efficacious and well tolerated in Chinese adults with T2D not controlled by OADs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Incretin-based therapies exert antihyperglycaemic effects in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in a blood glucose concentration-dependent fashion. The first-in-class oral glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist semaglutide has potent effects on glycaemic and weight control, but little evidence has been published for the superiority of semaglutide for glycaemic control in patients after switching from a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor. Therefore, we aim to verify the efficacy of oral semaglutide in patients with T2D being treated with a DPP-4 inhibitor. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This study is a multicentre, prospective, randomised, open-label, parallel-group trial. In total, 172 participants with T2D who have been treated with a DPP-4 inhibitor for more than 12 weeks and who have a glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) level of 7.0%-9.9% will be randomised to continue using their existing DPP-4 inhibitor or switch to oral semaglutide for 24 weeks. Biochemical analyses and physical assessment will be performed, and adverse events will be recorded at baseline and at the end of the study. The primary endpoint will be the effect of oral semaglutide on the change in HbA1c. The secondary endpoints will be the mean changes in body weight, abdominal circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP), pulse rate, the relationship between improvement of metabolic parameters including HbA1c and patient background characteristics, side effects and other laboratory parameters. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This will be the first study to compare the effects of switching from a DPP-4 inhibitor to oral semaglutide on glycaemic control in patients with T2D. The results will be disseminated in peer-reviewed journals and at scientific conferences. Hokkaido University Certified Review Board (CRB no.1180001) has approved the protocol (no. 020-013). TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER UMIN000045270 in the University Hospital Medical Information Network; jRCT1011210032 in the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials.

Abstract
In recent years, important changes have occurred in the field of diabetes treatment. The focus of the treatment of diabetic patients has shifted from the control of blood glucose itself to the overall management of risk factors, while adjusting blood glucose goals according to individualization. In addition, regulators need to approve new antidiabetic drugs which have been tested for cardiovascular safety. Thus, the newest class of drugs has been shown to reduce major adverse cardiovascular events, including sodium-glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2) and some glucagon like peptide 1 receptor (GLP1) analog. As such, they have a prominent place in the hyperglycemia treatment algorithms. In recent years, the role of DPP4 inhibitors (DPP4i) has been modified. DPP4i have a favorable safety profile and anti-inflammatory profile, do not cause hypoglycemia or weight gain, and do not require dose escalation. In addition, it can also be applied to some types of chronic kidney disease patients and elderly patients with diabetes. Overall, DPP4i, as a class of safe oral hypoglycemic agents, have a role in the management of diabetic patients, and there is extensive experience in their use.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the efficacy and safety of imeglimin for up to 52 weeks as combination therapy with insulin in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS This double-blind, randomized, parallel-group phase 3 trial was performed at 35 sites in Japan. Eligible patients were individuals aged ≥20 years with type 2 diabetes and inadequate glycaemic control with insulin. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to either imeglimin (1000 mg twice daily) or matched placebo, in combination with insulin, for 16 weeks. In a subsequent 36-week, open-label extension period, all patients received imeglimin 1000 mg twice daily. The primary endpoint was change in mean glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) from baseline to week 16. RESULTS In all, 108 and 107 patients were randomly assigned to treatment with imeglimin 1000 mg twice daily or placebo, respectively. Compared with placebo, the adjusted mean difference in change from baseline HbA1c at Week 16 was -0.60% (95% confidence interval [CI] -0.80 to -0.40; P < 0.0001). This decrease was sustained up to 52 weeks with a mean decrease of -0.64% (95% CI -0.82 to -0.46) versus baseline. The incidence of patients experiencing adverse events and serious adverse events was similar in the two treatment groups. The number of patients experiencing hypoglycaemia was similar in the two treatment groups. In patients receiving imeglimin, all hypoglycaemic events were mild in severity; no episodes required assistance. CONCLUSIONS Imeglimin significantly improved HbA1c in Japanese patients with insufficiently controlled type 2 diabetes by insulin and had a similar safety profile to placebo. The efficacy of imeglimin on top of insulin was sustained for 52 weeks. Imeglimin represents a potential new treatment option for this population as add-on to insulin therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We investigated trends in the proportion of diabetes treatment and glycemic control, which may be altered by recent advances in insulin and non-insulin drugs, in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A serial cross-sectional study was performed using a multicenter large-population database from the Japan Diabetes Clinical Data Management study group. Patients with type 2 diabetes who attended clinics belonging to the study group between 2002 and 2018 were included to examine trends in glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) by treatment group using multivariable non-linear regression model. RESULTS The proportion of patients with insulin only decreased from 15.0% to 3.6%, patients with insulin+non-insulin drugs increased from 8.1% to 15.1%, patients with non-insulin drugs increased from 50.8% to 67.0%, and those with no drugs decreased from 26.1% to 14.4% from 2002 to 2018, respectively. The HbA1c levels of each group, except for no drugs, continued to decrease until 2014 (unadjusted mean HbA1c (%) from 2002 to 2014: from 7.89 to 7.45 for insulin only, from 8.09 to 7.63 for insulin+non-insulin, and from 7.51 to 6.98 for non-insulin) and remained unchanged thereafter. Among insulin-treated patients, use of human insulin decreased, use of long-acting analog insulin increased, and concomitant use of non-insulin drugs increased (from 35.1% in 2002 to 80.9% in 2018), which included increased use of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists, and the persistently high use of metformin. CONCLUSIONS During the past two decades, combined use of insulin and non-insulin drugs increased and glycemic control improved and leveled off after 2014 in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes. Further studies of the trend in association with age and factors related to metabolic syndrome are necessary to investigate strategies aiming at personalized medicine in diabetes care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A recent 3-year post-marketing surveillance (PMS) study reaffirmed the safety and effectiveness of linagliptin in linagliptin-naïve Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We present further analyses from this study by body mass index (BMI). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Safety and effectiveness were assessed across BMI subgroups (<25, 25 to <30, and ≥30 kg/m2). RESULTS Data were available for 876, 566, and 201 patients in the BMI subgroups, respectively. Incidence of adverse drug reactions [ADR] with linagliptin was 11.42%, 11.31%, 10.45%, respectively. The most common ADR of special interest was hepatic disorders (n [%]: 6 [0.68], 7 [1.24] and 3 [1.49], respectively). Additional use of glucose-lowering drugs (GLDs) increased with BMI (15.0%, 19.1%, 24.4% of patients; P < 0.001). In the overall population, a sustained decrease in HbA1c was observed in all BMI subgroups. In patients receiving linagliptin with no additional GLDs, changes in HbA1c were -0.58%±0.04, -0.62%±0.04, and -0.77%±0.11. CONCLUSIONS In this study of linagliptin in Japanese patients with T2D, across BMI subgroups no new safety concerns were observed. The proportion of patients with additional GLD use increased with baseline BMI. Decreases in HbA1c were observed in all subgroups, including in patients with no additional GLD use.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4i) have been the most used antidiabetic medications worldwide due to their good safety profiles and tolerability with a low risk of hypoglycemia, however, large cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs) have not shown any significant the prognostic superiority. On the contrary, since observational studies have suggested the effects of DPP4i are enhanced some populations, such as Asians and those who without overweight, their prognostic benefit is still under debate. The aim of this study was thus to assess the prognostic impact of DPP4i in patients with both diabetes and coronary artery disease (CAD) who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) through the insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) axis, a substrate of DPP4. This single-center analysis involved consecutive Japanese diabetic patients who underwent PCI for the first time between 2008 and 2018 (n = 885). Primary and secondary endpoints were set as cardiovascular (CV) death and the composite of CV death, non-fatal myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke (3P-MACE). Serum levels of IGF-1 and its main binding protein (insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3: IGFBP-3) were measured. In consequences, unadjusted Kaplan–Meier analyses revealed reduced incidences of CV-death and 3P-MACE by DPP4i, which was particularly enhanced in patients who were not overweight (BMI ≤ 25). Multivariate Cox hazard analyses consistently indicated reduced risks of CV death by DPP4i at PCI (hazard ratio (HR) 0.39, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.16–0.82, p = 0.01) and 3P-MACE (HR 0.47, 95% CI 0.25–0.84, p = 0.01), respectively. Moreover, elevated IGF-1 activity indicated by the IGF-1/IGFBP-3 ratio was associated with decreased risks of both endpoints and it was significantly higher in patients with DPP4i (p < 0.0001). In conclusion, the findings of the present study indicate beneficial effects of DPP4i to improve outcomes in Japanese diabetic patients following PCI, which might be mediated by DPP4–IGF-1 axis.

Abstract
The comparative effectiveness of oral hypoglycemic agents on glycemic control and chronic complications in clinical practice is unknown in Korea. This study aimed to compare glycemic control and the incidence of hypoglycemia and chronic complications among adult patients with type 2 diabetes prescribed metformin, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4I), and sulfonylurea (SU) as monotherapy or dual combination therapy.We retrospectively analyzed propensity-matched cohort data from 3 national university hospitals in Korea. All electronic health records were transformed into a unified Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership Common Data Model and analyzed using ATLAS, an open-source analytical tool, and R software. Glycemic control was assessed as the first observation of a reduction in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level below 7% after prescription of the drug. Differences in the incidence of chronic complications were compared based on the first observation of each complication. Glycemic control and chronic complications were evaluated in patients who maintained the same prescription for at least 3 and 12 months, respectively.Patients who received metformin had lower hazard of reaching HbA1c levels below 7% as compared with those who received SU, and had higher hazard compared with those who received DPP4I (hazard ratio [HR], 0.86; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.75-0.98; and HR, 1.68; 95% CI, 1.42-1.99, respectively). The incidence of hypoglycemia was significantly higher in the SU group than in the metformin and DPP4I groups (metformin vs SU; HR, 0.30; 95% CI, 0.21-0.43; SU vs DPP4I; HR, 4.42; 95% CI, 2.35-8.31). Metformin + DPP4I had similar hazard of reaching HbA1c levels below 7% compared with metformin + SU (HR, 1.19; 95% CI, 0.99-1.43) and the incidence of hypoglycemia was significantly lower in the metformin + DPP4I group (HR 0.13; 95% CI 0.05-0.30). There was no significant difference in the analysis of the occurrence of chronic complications.SU followed by metformin was effective, and both drugs showed an increased hazard of reaching HbA1c levels below 7% compared with DPP4I. Metformin + DPP4I is comparatively effective for HbA1c level reduction below 7% compared with metformin + SU. Hypoglycemia was high in the SU-containing therapy.

Abstract
Introduction This study aimed to examine the efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin in the Dapagliflozin and Prevention of Adverse Outcomes in Chronic Kidney Disease (DAPA-CKD) trial (NCT03036150) by geographic region. Methods Adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) with or without type 2 diabetes, with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 25 to 75 ml/min per 1.73 m2 and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) 200 to 5000 mg/g were randomized to dapagliflozin (10 mg once daily) or placebo. The primary end point was a composite of a sustained decline in eGFR of ≥50%, end-stage kidney disease or death from kidney or cardiovascular causes. We categorized recruiting countries into 4 broad global regions: Asia, Europe, Latin America, and North America. Of 4304 randomized patients, 1346 (31.3%) were from Asia, 1233 (28.6%) from Europe, 912 (21.2%) from Latin America, and 813 (18.9%) from North America. Results The relative risk of the primary composite end point was lower in patients randomized to dapagliflozin (relative to placebo) in all regions, with hazard ratios (95% CI) of 0.70 (0.48–1.00), 0.60 (0.43–0.85), 0.61 (0.43–0.86), and 0.51 (0.34–0.76) among patients from Asia, Europe, Latin America, and North America, respectively. There was no effect modification by region (interaction P = 0.77). Occurrence of serious adverse events (SAEs) was lower among patients randomized to dapagliflozin versus placebo (21.9% vs. 26.8%, 34.1% vs. 38.6%, 29.8% vs. 31.5%, and 34.9% vs. 41.0% in Asia, Europe, Latin America, and North America, respectively). Conclusion Dapagliflozin reduced kidney and cardiovascular events and prolonged survival in patients with CKD, with and without type 2 diabetes, with no apparent effect modification by geographic region.

Abstract
AIMS The Japanese diabetes treatment guidelines do not specify the first choice of hypoglycemic agents unlike those of Western countries. Moreover, current situation in diabetes treatment is that the choice of hypoglycemic agents is determined by each physician. Therefore, we aimed to determine current situation in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan, in this context. For this, we conducted a questionnaire survey among physicians twice regarding target value of HbA1c and the choice of hypoglycemic agents in various cases. METHODS We administered an unsigned questionnaire to physicians in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan, in July 2016 and March 2020. We divided responses into those of diabetologists and those of non-diabetologists and analyzed each response. We then compared the results between both years. RESULTS In total, 18 diabetologists and 142 non-diabetologists responded in 2016 and 21 diabetologists and 134 non-diabetologists responded in 2020. Many diabetologists chose biguanide as the first-line drug for obese type 2 diabetes patients. In addition, the rate of choice of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) among physicians almost increased in 2020. Some non-diabetologists, and even a few diabetologists, inappropriately chose SGLT2i and BG for patients with severe renal dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS Because SGLT2i became available in 2016 and a few years have passed, both diabetologists and non-diabetologists seemed to refrain from prescribing SGLT2i. However, with the emergence of various lines of firm evidence concerning the use of SGLT2i, physicians started to prescribe it. However, some diabetologists and non-diabetologists chose hypoglycemic agents inadequately: therefore, there is a need for novel and precise information.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Imeglimin is a first-in-class novel oral antidiabetic marketed in Japan as TWYMEEG® to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. Its mode of action is distinct from all other anti-hyperglycemic classes. OBJECTIVE To assess the pharmacokinetic and safety profile of imeglimin in Caucasian and Japanese healthy individuals. METHODS Two randomized placebo-controlled phase 1 clinical studies were conducted in Caucasian subjects after single (250-8000 mg) and multiple (250-2000 mg twice daily) ascending doses and in Japanese subjects after single (500-6000 mg) and multiple (500-2000 mg twice daily) ascending doses. Imeglimin plasma and urine concentrations were measured. RESULTS All imeglimin doses achieved maximal concentration between 1 and 3.5 h in Caucasians, and 1.5 and 3 h in Japanese subjects. The elimination half-lives (t1/2) were dose-independent and means ranged between 9.03 and 20.2 h for Caucasians, and 4.45 and 12 h for Japanese subjects. Dose-normalized area under the plasma concentration-time curve decreased with dose in the 250-8000 mg and in the 500-6000 mg dose range in Caucasians and Japanese, respectively, suggesting a dose-dependent but less than dose-proportional effect in imeglimin exposure. Plasma accumulation was minimal following repeated dosing, and food did not affect the pharmacokinetics in either population. Exposures were generally similar between Caucasian and Japanese subjects with less than 20% difference, although there was a tendency for exposures in Japanese to be slightly higher. Imeglimin had an acceptable safety and tolerability profile, with dose-dependent mild gastrointestinal adverse events. CONCLUSION Imeglimin was safe and well tolerated in these two phases 1 studies, with pharmacokinetics comparable between the two populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the effects of teneligliptin on glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)-derived time in range, and glycemic variability in elderly type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. METHODS This randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study was conducted in eight centers in Korea (clinical trial registration number: NCT03508323). Sixty-five participants aged ≥65 years, who were treatment-naïve or had been treated with stable doses of metformin, were randomized at a 1:1 ratio to receive 20 mg of teneligliptin (n=35) or placebo (n=30) for 12 weeks. The main endpoints were the changes in HbA1c levels from baseline to week 12, CGM metrics-derived time in range, and glycemic variability. RESULTS After 12 weeks, a significant reduction (by 0.84%) in HbA1c levels was observed in the teneligliptin group compared to that in the placebo group (by 0.08%), with a between-group least squares mean difference of -0.76% (95% confidence interval [CI], -1.08 to -0.44). The coefficient of variation, standard deviation, and mean amplitude of glycemic excursion significantly decreased in participants treated with teneligliptin as compared to those in the placebo group. Teneligliptin treatment significantly decreased the time spent above 180 or 250 mg/dL, respectively, without increasing the time spent below 70 mg/dL. The mean percentage of time for which glucose levels remained in the 70 to 180 mg/dL time in range (TIR70-180) at week 12 was 82.0%±16.0% in the teneligliptin group, and placebo-adjusted change in TIR70-180 from baseline was 13.3% (95% CI, 6.0 to 20.6). CONCLUSION Teneligliptin effectively reduced HbA1c levels, time spent above the target range, and glycemic variability, without increasing hypoglycemia in our study population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In contrast to Western population, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) levels are preserved in some East Asian population with type 2 diabetes (T2D), explaining why dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors are more effective in East Asians. We assessed whether differences in endogenous GLP-1 levels resulted in different treatment responses to DPP-IV inhibitors in prediabetes and T2D. METHODS A prospective 12-week study using linagliptin 5mg once daily in 50 subjects (28 prediabetes and 22 T2D) who were stratified into high versus low fasting GLP-1 groups. A 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed at week 0 and 12. Primary outcomes were changes in HbA1c, fasting and post-OGTT glucose after 12 weeks. Secondary outcomes included changes in insulin resistance and beta cell function indices. RESULTS There was a greater HbA1c reduction in subjects with high GLP-1 compared to low GLP-1 levels in both the prediabetes and T2D populations [least-squares mean (LS-mean) change of -0.33% vs. -0.11% and -1.48% vs. -0.90% respectively)]. Linagliptin significantly reduced glucose excursion by 18% in high GLP-1 compared with 8% in low GLP-1 prediabetes groups. The reduction in glucose excursion was greater in high GLP-1 compared to low GLP-1 T2D by 30% and 21% respectively. There were significant LS-mean between-group differences in fasting glucose (-0.95 mmol/L), 2-hour glucose post-OGTT (-2.4 mmol/L) in the high GLP-1 T2D group. Improvement in insulin resistance indices were seen in the high GLP-1 T2D group while high GLP-1 prediabetes group demonstrated improvement in beta cell function indices. No incidence of hypoglycemia was reported. CONCLUSIONS Linagliptin resulted in a greater HbA1c reduction in the high GLP-1 prediabetes and T2D compared to low GLP-1 groups. Endogenous GLP-1 level play an important role in determining the efficacy of DPP-IV inhibitors irrespective of the abnormal glucose tolerance states.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Type 2 diabetes mellitus is caused by a relative imbalance between insulin secretion and sensitivity related to the body mass index (BMI). Seven categories of oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) are available in Japan. It is important to assess the OAD utilization patterns based on patients' BMI levels. MATERIALS AND METHODS OAD prescribing patterns from 2002 to 2019 were analyzed using the data collected in the computerized diabetes care database provided by the Japan Diabetes Clinical Data Management Study Group; OAD utilization patterns in 25,751 OAD-treated type 2 diabetes mellitus patients registered in 2019 were analyzed after classifying them into five categories of BMI. RESULTS Comparing OAD usage between 2002 and 2019, sulfonylureas decreased from 44.5 to 23.2%, and biguanides (BGs) increased from 19.3 to 50.3%. Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4is) increased to 56.9% in 2019. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) increased to 23.6% in 2019. About 90% of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients had BMI < 30 kg/m2 . DPP4is were the most used OADs in 2019. When BMI exceeded 30 kg/m2 , use of BGs and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors increased, and use of sulfonylureas and DPP4is decreased. Although DPP4is were the most used OADs for patients with BMI <30 kg/m2 , they were the third most prescribed OADs for patients with BMI >35 kg/m2 after BGs and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors . CONCLUSIONS DPP4i usage was as high as that of BG in the analysis of Japanese type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with relatively low BMI. This was considered to be a treatment option appropriate for the pathophysiology in Japanese patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4I), key regulators of the actions of incretin hormones, exert anti-hyperglycemic effects in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. A major unanswered question concerns the potential ability of DPP-4I to improve intrahepatic lipid (IHL) content in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of sitagliptin on IHL in NAFLD patients. METHODS A prospective, 24-week, single-center, open-label, comparative study enrolled 68 Chinese NAFLD patients with T2DM. Subjects were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group who did not take medicine (14 patients); sitagliptin group who received sitagliptin treatment (100mg per day) (17 patients); metformin group who received metformin (500mg three times per day) (17 patients); and sitagliptin plus metformin group who received sitagliptin (100mg per day) and metformin (500 mg three times per day) (20 patients). IHL, physical examination (waist circumstances, WC; body mass index, BMI), glucose-lipid metabolism (fasting plasma glucose, FPG; hemoglobin A1c, Hb1A1c; triglycerides; cholesterol; alanine aminotransferase, ALT; aspartate aminotransferase, AST) were measured at baseline and at 24 weeks. RESULTS 1) WC and BMI were decreased significantly in all groups except control group (all P<0.05). 2) There was no statistically significant difference in IHL among the sitagliptin, metformin, and sitagliptin plus metformin groups before and after treatment(all P>0.05). Only the metformin group showed a statistically significant difference in IHL before and after treatment(P<0.05). 3) Sitagliptin treatment led to a significant decrease in FBG and HbA1c when compared with the control group (all P<0.01). Additionally, HhA1c was significant decreased in the sitagliptin group when compared with the metformin group (P< 0.05). 4) HbA1c and FBG were decreased by 0.8% and 0.7 mmol/l respectively and the percentage of patients with HbA1c less than 7% was 65% with sitagliptin treatment. CONCLUSION Sitagliptin improves abnormalities in glucose metabolism, but not reduces the IHL in T2DM with NAFLD, indicating that sitagliptin might be a therapeutic option for treatment of NAFLD indirectly while not directly on IHL.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, transcriptome sequencing was performed on patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with different prognosis to explore the differential level genes of different hypoglycemic effects of sitagliptin. METHODS Patients with newly diagnosed T2DM (within six months of diagnosis) were selected as the study subjects. Patients were given sitagliptin 100 mg once a day orally. After 12 weeks of regular drug therapy, the reduction in glycated hemoglobin was compared before and after drug administration. The patients were then divided into two groups: the significantly effective group (M) and the less effective group (N). High-throughput sequencing of the transcriptome was conducted to detect the differential expression levels of genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Expanded sample size validation of the candidate differential genes was conducted using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS After 12 weeks of treatment with sitagliptin, high-throughput sequencing of the transcriptome found that expression of the following genes was different when comparing the significantly effective group (M) and the less effective group (N): ghrelin (GHRL), insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF1R), mitogen-activated protein kinase-3 (MAPK3), phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphonate 3-kinase, catalytic subunit delta (PIK3CD), and the suppressor of cytokine signaling-3 (SOCS3). The validation results of RT-PCR showed that, in the significantly effective group (M), the expression of IGF1R was significantly increased (P = 0.034), the expression of MAPK3 was significantly reduced (P = 0.002), and the expression of SOCS3 was also significantly reduced (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION There was a significant difference in gene level between patients with significant hypoglycemic effect and patients with poor hypoglycemic effect, and the expression of IGF1R increased and the expression of MAPK3 and SOCS3 decreased.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is not known which type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients would most benefit from dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor treatment. We aimed to investigate the predictors of response to DPP-4 inhibitors considering degree of DPP-4 inhibition. METHODS This study is a post hoc analysis of a 24-week, randomized, double-blind, phase III trial that compared the efficacy and safety of a DPP-4 inhibitor (gemigliptin vs. sitagliptin) in patients with T2DM. Subjects were classified into tertiles of T1 <65.26%, T2=65.26%-76.35%, and T3 ≥76.35% by DPP-4 inhibition. We analyzed the change from baseline in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) according to DPP-4 inhibition with multiple linear regression adjusting for age, ethnicity, body mass index, baseline HbA1c, and DPP-4 activity at baseline. RESULTS The mean age was greater in the high tertile group compared with the low tertile group (T1: 49.8±8.3 vs. T2: 53.1±10.5 vs. T3: 55.3±9.5, P<0.001) of DPP-4 inhibition. Although HbA1c at baseline was not different among tertiles of DPP-4 inhibition (P=0.398), HbA1c after 24-week treatment was lower in the higher tertile compares to the lower tertile (T1: 7.30%±0.88% vs. T2: 7.12%±0.78% vs. T3: 7.00%±0.78%, P=0.021). In multiple regression analysis, DPP-4 enzyme inhibition rate was not a significant determent for HbA1c reduction due to age. In subgroup analysis by tertile of DPP-4 inhibition, age was the only significant predictor and only in the highest tertile (R2=0.281, B=-0.014, P=0.024). CONCLUSION This study showed that HbA1c reduction by DPP-4 inhibitor was associated with increasing age, and this association was linked with higher DPP-4 inhibition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Safety and tolerability of glucose-lowering drugs is a key consideration for use in type 2 diabetes (T2D). We evaluated the safety and tolerability of the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor linagliptin in Asian patients with T2D. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This was a post-hoc, descriptive pooled analysis of 21 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials of linagliptin in T2D patients lasting ≤52 weeks. We evaluated adverse events (AEs) and laboratory parameters in Asian participants living in Asia, both overall and in the East Asian subgroup. RESULTS This analysis included 4457 Asian patients overall (2712 receiving linagliptin; 1745 receiving placebo) and 3057 (68.6%) East Asians. AEs were reported in 1510 (55.7%) Asian patients receiving linagliptin and 1032 (59.1%) receiving placebo but were considered drug-related in only 13.0% of each group. Serious AEs occurred in 109 (4.0%) linagliptin patients and 90 (5.2%) placebo patients. The most common AEs were nasopharyngitis (6.4% linagliptin, 7.3% placebo), upper respiratory tract infection (5.7% linagliptin, 6.5% placebo), and hypoglycemia (7.3% linagliptin, 6.3% placebo). One linagliptin patient had pancreatitis; none had bullous pemphigoid. No clinically relevant mean changes in laboratory parameters occurred. These findings were consistent in East Asians. CONCLUSIONS Linagliptin is well tolerated in Asian T2D patients, including East Asians, with low risk for AEs.
