Abstract
Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients commonly undergo metformin monotherapy. This study aims to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of combination therapy of dapagliflozin plus linagliptin versus dapagliflozin plus vildagliptin as add-on therapy in T2DM patients inadequately controlled on metformin. Methodology This was an 18-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, parallel-group, phase III clinical study. About 236 participants were randomly assigned to receive either a fixed-dose combination of dapagliflozin 10 mg plus linagliptin 5 mg tablets or a fixed-dose combination of dapagliflozin 10 mg plus vildagliptin SR 100 mg tablets added to metformin monotherapy. The primary outcome was the mean change in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) from baseline to the end of week 16. The key secondary endpoints were mean change in postprandial blood glucose (PPBG), fasting blood glucose (FBG), body weight, and the proportion of participants achieving HbA1c less than 7.0%. Results The dapagliflozin/linagliptin combination therapy showed a more significant change in HbA1c from baseline to the end of 16 weeks (mean reduction: -1.59% vs. -1.25%) compared to dapagliflozin/vildagliptin (p < 0.0001). Additionally, compared to the dapagliflozin/vildagliptin group, the dapagliflozin/linagliptin group demonstrated a significant reduction in both PPBG (mean reduction: -59.99 mg/dL vs. -55.34 mg/dL) and FPG (mean reduction: -32.91 mg/dL vs. -26.78 mg/dL). A total of 18 adverse events were reported in 17 (7.20%) participants, all of which were mild and resolved completely. There were no serious adverse events. Conclusions Compared to dapagliflozin and vildagliptin combination therapy, dapagliflozin and linagliptin fixed-dose combination provided clinically significant improvements in glycemic control. Because of its effectiveness, safety, and tolerability, the fixed-dose combination of dapagliflozin and linagliptin was a better option for treating T2DM patients who had previously only received metformin monotherapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fixed-dose combination (FDC) of dapagliflozin (10 mg) and linagliptin (5 mg) in comparison to linagliptin 5 mg (Trajenta) in patients with insufficiently controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on metformin monotherapy. METHODS The double-blind, randomized, multicentric, parallel-group phase III trial screened 287 adult patients with T2DM (age 18-65 years) from 16 sites across India. The recruited subjects were undergoing metformin monotherapy ≥ 1000 mg/day for at least 28 days. Patients with HbA1c of 7.5-10.5% (58-91 mmol/l) (n = 232) after 2 weeks of run-in period with linagliptin monotherapy and placebo dapagliflozin/linagliptin on metformin monotherapy were randomized (1:1) in parallel to once daily dapagliflozin/linagliptin 10/5 mg or linagliptin 5 mg for 16 weeks. Patients were stratified on the basis of HbA1c (≤ 9.0% and > 9.0%; ≤ 75 mmol/l and > 75 mmol/l)). A total of 225 subjects completed 16 weeks of treatment, 115 patients in the test group and 110 patients in the reference group. RESULTS Dapagliflozin/linagliptin (p = 0.0003) exhibited a greater change in HbA1c from baseline than linagliptin (p < 0.0001) in 16 weeks (mean reduction, - 1.28% vs - 0.83%). Test group showed a significant decrease in fasting plasma glucose (FPG), postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) and body weight compared to the reference group. The FDC was well tolerated with adverse events being more frequent in the reference group. No serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported in the study. CONCLUSION Dapagliflozin/linagliptin combination is a novel dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4)/sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor FDC approved in India for patients with T2DM. Potential limitations of this study are a small dose of dapagliflozin (10 mg) in the FDC, a short study duration (30 weeks) and a high minimum threshold for HbA1c (≤ 7.5%; ≤ 53 mmol/l). Results indicate the FDC to be a superior therapeutic option over linagliptin for patients with T2DM on metformin monotherapy. TRIAL REGISTRATION CTRI/2022/08/044563; 01/08/2022.

Abstract
This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the impact of Sodium Glucose Transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on fractures, bone mineral density (BMD), and bone metabolism markers in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Pooled relative risk (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) assessed the relationship between SGLT2 inhibitors and fracture risk. Weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95% CI explored the correlation between SGLT2 inhibitors and BMD, as well as bone metabolism markers. A total of 20 randomised controlled trials (RCTs) involving 12,764 patients were analysed. No significant association emerged between SGLT2 inhibitor use and elevated fracture risk (pooled RR = 1.21, 95% CI [0.95, 1.54], I2 = 22%). Furthermore, SGLT2 inhibitors exhibited no substantial effects on BMD changes at the lumbar spine (WMD = -0.02, 95% CI [-0.38, 0.34]), femoral neck (WMD = 0.11, 95% CI [-0.28, 0.50]), total hip (WMD = -0.20, 95% CI [-0.41, 0.01]), and distal forearm (WMD = -0.20, 95% CI [-0.62, 0.22]). Similarly, no notable impact of SGLT2 inhibitors on bone metabolism markers, including CTX (WMD = 0.04, 95% CI [-0.02, 0.09]), P1NP (WMD = 1.06, 95% CI [-0.44, 2.57]), PTH (WMD = 0.34, 95% CI [-0.07, 0.75]), calcium (WMD = 0.01, 95% CI [-0.02, 0.04]), and phosphate (WMD = 2.37, 95% CI [-0.76, 5.49]). The findings suggest that the utilization of SGLT2 inhibitors is not significantly linked to an elevated risk of fractures in individuals with T2DM. However, further clinical investigations and extended follow-up periods are warranted to establish more conclusive determinations.

Abstract
Backgrounds The safety of different sodium-glucose transporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors remains uncertain due to the lack of head-to-head comparisons. Methods This network meta-analysis (NMA) was performed to compare the safety of nine SGLT-2 inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched for studies published in English before August 30, 2022. Published and unpublished randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the safety of individual SGLT-2 inhibitors in patients with T2DM were included. A Bayesian NMA with random effects model was applied. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed. The quality of the evidence was evaluated using the Confidence in Network Meta-Analysis framework. Results Nine SGLT-2 inhibitors were evaluated in 113 RCTs (12 registries) involving 105,293 adult patients. Reproductive tract infections (RTIs) were reported in 1,967 (4.51%) and 276 (1.01%) patients in the SGLT-2 inhibitor and placebo groups, respectively. Furthermore, pollakiuria was reported in 233 (2.66%) and 45 (0.84%) patients, respectively. Compared to placebo, a significantly higher risk of RTIs was observed with canagliflozin, ertugliflozin, empagliflozin, remogliflozin, dapagliflozin, and sotagliflozin, but not with luseogliflozin and ipragliflozin, regardless of gender. An increased risk of pollakiuria was observed with dapagliflozin [odds ratio (OR) 10.40, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.60-157.94) and empagliflozin (OR 5.81, 95%CI 1.79-32.97). Remogliflozin (OR 6.45, 95%CI 2.18-27.79) and dapagliflozin (OR 1.33, 95%CI 1.10-1.62) were associated with an increased risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Instead, the included SGLT-2 inhibitors had a protective effect against acute kidney injury (AKI). No significant differences were found for hypovolemia, renal impairment or failure, fracture, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), amputation, and severe hypoglycemia between the SGLT-2 inhibitor and the placebo groups. Conclusion In patients with T2DM, dapagliflozin was associated with an increased risk of RTIs, pollakiuria, and UTIs. Empagliflozin increased the risk of RTIs and pollakiuria. Remogliflozin increased the risk of UTIs. None of the SGLT-2 inhibitors showed a significant difference from the placebo for hypovolemia, renal impairment or failure, fracture, DKA, amputation, and severe hypoglycemia. The findings guide the selection of SGLT-2 inhibitors for patients with T2DM based on the patient's profiles to maximize safety.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fixed-dose combination (FDC) of the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor empagliflozin and the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor linagliptin was approved for type 2 diabetes (T2D) treatment in Japan in 2018. We conducted a post-marketing surveillance study of empagliflozin/linagliptin FDC in routine clinical practice in Japan. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This one-year, prospective, multicenter, observational study investigated the safety and effectiveness of empagliflozin/linagliptin FDC in Japanese patients with T2D. The primary outcome was incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). RESULTS Among 1146 patients, mean (SD) age was 63.8 (12.8) years and 22.08% were aged ≥75 years. Mean (SD) glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was 7.66% (1.21); fasting plasma glucose (FPG) was 142.90 mg/dl (43.75). ADRs were experienced by 32 (2.79%) patients (1 serious ADR); ADRs of important identified risk included urinary tract infection (7 patients [0.61%]), hypoglycemia (2 [0.17%]), ketoacidosis (0), genital infection (1 [0.09%]), and volume depletion (1 [0.09%]). Overall mean (SD) change from baseline in body weight, HbA1c, and FPG were -1.08 kg (3.21), -0.39% (1.11), and -7.90 mg/dl (39.12), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Empagliflozin/linagliptin FDC was effective and generally well tolerated in Japanese patients with T2D; no new safety concerns were identified.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) not only have antihyperglycemic effects and are associated with a low risk of hypoglycemia but also have protective effects in organs, including the heart and kidneys. The pathophysiology of diabetes involves chronic hyperglycemia, which causes excessive demands on pancreatic β-cells, ultimately leading to decreases in β-cell mass and function. Because SGLT2is ameliorate hyperglycemia without acting directly on β-cells, they are thought to prevent β-cell failure by reducing glucose overload in this cell type. Several studies have shown that treatment with an SGLT2i increases β-cell proliferation and/or reduces β-cell apoptosis, resulting in the preservation of β-cell mass in animal models of diabetes. In addition, many clinical trials have shown that that SGLT2is improve β-cell function in individuals with type 2 diabetes. In this review, the preclinical and clinical data regarding the effects of SGLT2is on pancreatic β-cell mass and function are summarized and the protective effect of SGLT2is in β-cells is discussed.

Abstract
Introduction Teneligliptin/canagliflozin combination tablets, which combine a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor (teneligliptin) and a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor (canagliflozin), are a treatment option for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Japan. This post-marketing surveillance evaluated the real-world safety and effectiveness of teneligliptin/canagliflozin combination tablets, and changes in self-reported adherence to oral antihyperglycaemic agents. Methods Japanese patients with T2DM who were prescribed the combination tablets for the first time between December 2017 and June 2018 were registered and followed up for 12 months. Safety and effectiveness were assessed in terms of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and the changes in haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and body weight from baseline to 12 months with the last observation carried forward, respectively. Adherence was assessed using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale 8. Results Overall, 821 patients were eligible for the analyses, including 733 who were prescribed the combination tablets for 12 months. ADRs and serious ADRs were reported in 4.38% and 0.85% of patients, respectively. Gastrointestinal disorders (0.97%) were the most common class of ADRs. No new safety concerns were identified beyond those described in the Japanese package insert. The changes in HbA1c and body weight from baseline to 12 months were − 0.43 ± 0.93% and − 1.29 ± 5.57 kg, respectively. The reductions in HbA1c at 12 months tended to be greater among patients who switched from either DPP-4 inhibitors (− 0.71 ± 0.89%) or SGLT2 inhibitors (− 0.51 ± 1.00%) relative to patients who switched from both (− 0.22 ± 0.88%). The decrease in body weight was greatest among patients who switched from DPP-4 inhibitors. An improvement in self-reported adherence to oral antihyperglycaemic agents occurred after switching to the combination tablets. Conclusion Teneligliptin/canagliflozin combination tablets were effective and associated with an improvement in adherence without new safety concerns in Japanese patients with T2DM in real-world clinical practice. Trial Registration JapicCTI-173778. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12325-021-02038-5. Teneligliptin/canagliflozin combination tablets are used as an option for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in Japan. We performed this surveillance to obtain data on the frequency of side effects (adverse drug reactions) and effectiveness (in terms of changes in haemoglobin A1c and body weight) in Japanese patients treated with teneligliptin/canagliflozin combination tablets in real-world clinical practice. We also asked patients to evaluate their adherence to oral antihyperglycaemic agents as part of their prescribed therapies. We collected data for up to 12 months. We detected no new safety concerns, other than those already described in the Japanese package insert for the combination tablets. In terms of effectiveness, we observed improvements in both haemoglobin A1c and body weight over 12 months of treatment. Furthermore, self-reported adherence to oral antihyperglycaemic agents improved after treatment with the combination tablets.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This long-term post-marketing surveillance (SAPPHIRE) collected information on the safety and effectiveness of canagliflozin (approved dose 100 mg) prescribed to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in real-world practice in Japan. METHODS Patients with T2DM who were prescribed canagliflozin between December 2014 and September 2016 were registered and observed for up to 3 years. Safety was evaluated in terms of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Effectiveness was assessed in terms of glycaemic control. Data were also analysed across age subgroups (< 65, ≥ 65 to < 75, and ≥ 75 years old) and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) categories for chronic kidney disease (G1-G5 based on eGFR) at baseline. RESULTS A total of 12,227 patients were included in the safety analyses and 11,675 in effectiveness analyses. Overall, 7104 patients were treated with canagliflozin for ≥ 3 years. The mean age, haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and eGFR at baseline were 58.4 ± 12.5 years, 8.01 ± 1.49%, and 80.04 ± 21.85 mL/min/1.73 m2, respectively. There were 1836 ADRs in 1312 patients (10.73%) and 268 serious ADRs in 225 patients (1.84%). The most common ADRs were those related to volume depletion (1.39%), genital infection (1.34%), polyuria/pollakiuria (1.23%), and urinary tract infection (1.19%). The frequencies of ADRs tended to increase with age and stage of chronic kidney disease. The reductions in mean HbA1c after starting canagliflozin were maintained for up to 3 years with a mean change of - 0.68% (n = 6345 at 3 years). Maintained reductions in mean HbA1c were observed in each age subgroup and in patients with G1-G3b renal function. CONCLUSION This surveillance in real-world clinical practice showed that canagliflozin provides sustained glucose-lowering effects in patients with T2DM, including elderly patients and patients with moderate renal impairment, without new safety concerns beyond those already described in the Japanese package insert.

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

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To compare the efficacy and tolerability of dapagliflozin with those of sitagliptin and metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes who have never received glucose-lowering agents. METHODS In this randomized, 12-week, open-label, active-controlled trial, 32 patients were randomly assigned to receive dapagliflozin 5 mg, sitagliptin 50 mg, or metformin 1000 mg per day for 12 weeks. At baseline and at week 12, the patients underwent a meal tolerance test (MTT). RESULTS After 12 weeks of treatment, the changes in fasting and postprandial plasma glucose and plasma glucose area under the curve (AUC)0-120 min levels during the MTT from baseline were significantly improved in the three study groups, and there were no significant differences among the three study groups (P < 0.05). The mean changes in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) from baseline to week 12 were - 0.96%, - 1.24%, and - 1.40% in the dapagliflozin, sitagliptin, and metformin groups, respectively. Although there was no significant difference among the three study groups, the lowering effect of HbA1c tended to be greater in the metformin group than in the dapagliflozin group. In contrast, the insulin AUC0-120 min levels at week 12 significantly decreased only in the dapagliflozin group (P = 0.049). Similarly, body weight was significantly reduced only in the dapagliflozin group (- 2.1 kg [- 2.7%], P = 0.047). Moreover, dapagliflozin significantly improved serum adiponectin levels (P = 0.003). However, there were no significant differences in the changes in these glycemic and metabolic parameters among the three study groups. No serious adverse events were documented in any group. CONCLUSIONS Dapagliflozin exerted beneficial effects similar to sitagliptin and metformin on glycemic parameters. In addition, dapagliflozin significantly reduced body weight and insulin AUC levels and improved serum adiponectin levels. Therefore, we suggest that these three hypoglycemic agents could be viable first-line medications for drug-naïve Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in reducing the incidence of mortality and cardiovascular outcomes in adults with type 2 diabetes. Methods and Results We conducted a Bayesian meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors with placebo. We used meta‐regression to examine the association between treatment effects and control group event rates as measures of cardiovascular baseline risk. Fifty‐three randomized controlled trials were included in our synthesis. Empagliflozin, canagliflozin, and dapagliflozin reduced the incidence of all‐cause mortality (empagliflozin: rate ratio [RR], 0.79; 95% credibility interval [CrI], 0.63–0.97; canagliflozin: RR, 0.86; 95% CrI, 0.69–1.05; dapagliflozin: RR, 0.86; 95% CrI, 0.72–1.01) and cardiovascular mortality (empagliflozin: RR, 0.78; 95% CrI, 0.61–1.00; canagliflozin: RR, 0.83; 95% CrI, 0.63–1.05; dapagliflozin: RR, 0.88; 95% CrI, 0.71–1.08), with a 90.1% to 98.7% probability for the true RR to be <1.00 for both outcomes. There was little evidence for ertugliflozin and sotagliflozin versus placebo for reducing all‐cause and cardiovascular mortality. There was no association between treatment effects for all‐cause and cardiovascular mortality and the control group event rates. There was evidence for a reduction in the incidence of heart failure for empagliflozin, canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and ertugliflozin versus placebo (probability RR <1.00 of ≥99.3%) and weaker, albeit positive, evidence for acute myocardial infarction for the first 3 agents (probability RR <1.00 of 89.0%–95.2%). There was little evidence of any agent except canagliflozin for reducing the incidence of stroke. Conclusions Empagliflozin, canagliflozin, and dapagliflozin reduced the incidence of all‐cause and cardiovascular mortality versus placebo. Treatment effects of sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors versus placebo do not vary by baseline risk.

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

Abstract
Background: Currently, the association between sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT-2i) and malignancy risk has yet to be fully elucidated. This meta-analysis aimed to determine the relationship between SGLT-2i and malignancy risk in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. Methods: We searched PubMed, ScienceDirect, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Web of Science to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published up to August 2020 related to T2D patients treated with SGLT-2i vs. placebo or other hypoglycemic agents. The meta-analysis's primary outcome was malignancies' incidence, and the results were evaluated using risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: We reviewed 76 articles (77 RCTs), comprising 45,162 and 43,811 patients in SGLT-2i and control groups, respectively. Compared with the control group, SGLT-2i had no significant association with augmented overall malignancy risk in T2D patients (RR = 1.05, 95% CI = 0.97–1.14, P = 0.20), but ertugliflozin may upsurge the risk (RR = 1.80, 95% CI = 1.02–3.17, P = 0.04). Compared with active hypoglycemic agents, dapagliflozin may increase (RR = 2.71, 95% CI = 1.46–6.43, P = 0.02) and empagliflozin may decrease (RR = 0.67, 95% CI = 0.45–0.98, P = 0.04) the malignancy risk. Compared with placebo, empagliflozin may exhibit risk increase (RR = 1.25, 95% CI = 1.05–1.49, P = 0.01), primarily in digestive system (RR = 1.48, 95% CI = 0.99–2.21, P = 0.05). Conclusions: Our results proposed that in diverse comparisons, ertugliflozin and dapagliflozin seemed to increase the malignancy risk in T2D patients. Empagliflozin may cause malignancy risk reduction compared with active hypoglycemic agents but increase overall risk primarily in the digestive system compared with placebo. In short, the relationship between SGLT-2i and malignancy in T2D patients remains unclear.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The goals of improving quality of life and increasing longevity are receiving growing amounts of attention. Body weight and lipid metabolism are closely related to various complications of diabetes. The aim of this study was to rank SGLT inhibitors according to their efficacy with regard to weight and evaluate the effect of SGLT inhibitors on lipid metabolism at 24 weeks of treatment. METHODS The Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Clinical Trials databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials involving patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus through June 2020. Two researchers independently screened and evaluated the selected studies and extracted the outcome indexes. ADDIS 1.16.5 and STATA 16 software were used to perform the network meta-analysis and draw the plots. RESULTS Ultimately, 36 studies were selected and included in this study. We found that all SGLT inhibitors were effective at reducing weight; canagliflozin was the most effective. SGLT inhibitors and placebo were not associated with significantly different serum cholesterol levels. SGLT inhibitors lowered serum triglyceride levels and increased serum high-density and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. SGLT inhibitors also reduced the level of alanine aminotransferase. CONCLUSIONS SGLT inhibitors can bring about weight loss in patients with T2DM and can also improve lipid metabolism. Therefore, patients with hyperlipidemia who have been unsuccessful at losing weight should consider taking SGLT inhibitors. In addition, SGLT inhibitors are hepatoprotective and appear to be safe for patients with mild to moderate liver dysfunction. TRIAL REGISTRATION CRD42020198516.

Abstract
Aims/Introduction To identify the effect of combination therapy with a dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 inhibitor and a sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor compared with switching from a dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 inhibitor to a sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor on improving the glucose variability in patients with or without impaired endogenous insulin secretion. Materials and Methods A secondary analysis regarding the relationship between endogenous insulin secretion and the change in mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (ΔMAGE) was carried out in a multicenter, prospective, randomized, parallel‐group comparison trial that enrolled patients with type 2 diabetes who had been taking teneligliptin and were treated by switching to canagliflozin (SWITCH) or adding canagliflozin (COMB). Participants were categorized into the following four subgroups: SWITCH or COMB and high or low fasting C‐peptide (CPR) divided at baseline by the median. Results ΔMAGE in the COMB group was greatly improved independent of a high or low CPR (−29.2 ± 28.3 vs −20.0 ± 24.6, respectively; P = 0.60). However, ΔMAGE was not ameliorated in the low CPR SWITCH group, and the ΔMAGE was significantly smaller than that in the high CPR COMB group (P < 0.01). Conclusions COMB would be a better protocol rather than switching teneligliptin to canagliflozin to improve daily glucose variability in patients with impaired endogenous insulin secretion.

BACKGROUND To evaluate dapagliflozin, canagliflozin, empagliflozin, ertugliflozin, and sotagliflozin according to their effect on the glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS The Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Clinical Trials databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus through June 2020. Two researchers independently screened and evaluated the obtained studies and extracted the outcome indexes. RevMan 5.3 software was used to perform the meta-analysis and to create plots. RESULTS Finally, 27 studies were selected and included in this study. The meta-analysis results showed that sodium-dependent glucose transporter (SGLT) inhibitors significantly reduced the HbA1c level in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, these results were highly heterogeneous, so we conducted a subgroup analysis. The results of the subgroup analysis suggested that by dividing populations into different subgroups, the heterogeneity of each group could be reduced. CONCLUSIONS SGLT inhibitors had a good effect on the HbA1c level in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, but there might be differences in the efficacy of SGLT inhibitors in different populations. It is hoped that more studies will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SGLT inhibitors in different populations. REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42020185025.

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

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes differs markedly by ethnicity. PURPOSE A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to assess the impact of ethnicity on the glucose-lowering efficacy of the newer oral agents, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i), glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA), and dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP-4i), using evidence from randomized clinical trials (RCTs). DATA SOURCES A literature search was conducted in PubMed of all randomized, placebo-controlled trials of DPP-4i, SGLT-2i, and GLP-1RA. The search strategy was developed based on Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms and keywords. STUDY SELECTION A total of 64 studies that qualified for meta-analysis after full-text review based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria-RCTs with at least 50 patients in each arm, >70% of population from Asian or white group, duration ≥24 weeks, and publication up to March 2019-were selected for systematic review and meta-analysis. DATA EXTRACTION Data extraction was done for aggregated study-level data by two independent researchers. Absolute changes in HbA1c (%) from baseline to 24 weeks between the drug and placebo were considered as the primary end point of the study. DATA SYNTHESIS Change in HbA1c was evaluated by computing mean differences and 95% CIs between treatment and placebo arms. LIMITATIONS The study is based on summarized data and could not be separated based on East Asians and South Asians. CONCLUSIONS The glucose-lowering efficacy of SGLT-2i, and to a lesser extent DPP-4i, was greater in studies of predominantly Asian ethnicity compared with studies of predominantly white ethnicity. There was no difference seen by ethnicity for GLP-1RA.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a novel class of oral antihyperglycemic agents developed in recent years. They could block most glucose reabsorption in renal proximal tubules, thereby exerting glucose lowering effects through glycosuric ways. The renal and cardiovascular protection effects of SGLT2 inhibitors have also been demonstrated both in preclinical studies and clinical trials. However, SGLT2 inhibitors alone could induce an increase in endogenous/hepatic glucose production as well as in fasting plasma glucose levels; a sharp decrease of blood glucose concentration induced by SGLT2 inhibitors could also promote the secretion of counter-regulatory hormones such as glucagon, which has been reported to be associated with the occurrence of glycemic ketoacidosis. Therefore, coadministration of SGLT2 inhibitors and other antihyperglycemic agents should be considered when the therapeutic effect of SGLT2 inhibitors alone was unsatisfactory.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) improve cardiovascular outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). The comparative efficacy of individual SGLT2i remains unclear. We searched PubMed, www.clinicaltrials.gov and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for randomised controlled trials exploring the use of canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, empagliflozin or ertugliflozin in patients with T2D. Comparators included placebo or any other active treatment. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. Secondary endpoints were cardiovascular mortality and worsening heart failure (HF). Evidence was synthesised using network meta-analysis (NMA). Sixty-four trials reporting on 74,874 patients were included. The overall quality of evidence was high. When compared with placebo, empagliflozin and canagliflozin improved all three endpoints, whereas dapagliflozin improved worsening HF. When compared with other SGLT2i, empagliflozin was superior for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality reduction. Empagliflozin, canagliflozin and dapagliflozin had similar effects on improving worsening HF. Ertugliflozin had no effect on any of the three endpoints investigated. Sensitivity analyses including extension periods of trials or excluding studies with a treatment duration of < 52 weeks confirmed the main results. Similar results were obtained when restricting mortality analyses to patients included in cardiovascular outcome trials (n = 38,719). Empagliflozin and canagliflozin improved survival with empagliflozin being superior to the other SGLT2i. Empagliflozin, canagliflozin and dapagliflozin had similar effects on improving worsening HF. Prospective head-to-head comparisons would be needed to confirm these results.

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

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

Abstract
Teneligliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor that was approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Japan and Korea and is being researched in several countries. Teneligliptin is a potent, selective, and long-lasting DPP-4 inhibitor with a t½ of approximately 24 h and unique pharmacokinetic properties: it is metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 and flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3), or excreted from the kidney in an unchanged form. Because of its multiple elimination pathways, dose adjustment is not needed in patients with hepatic or renal impairment, and it is considered to have a low potential for drug–drug interactions. Clinical studies and postmarketing surveillance show that teneligliptin, administered as monotherapy and/or in combination with antihyperglycemic agents, is effective and well tolerated in T2DM patients, including in elderly patients and those with renal impairment. Furthermore, teneligliptin has antioxidative properties, which induce the antioxidant cascade, as well as ·OH scavenging properties. In addition, it has shown endothelial protective effects in several non-clinical and clinical studies. From its unique profile and clinical data, teneligliptin represents a potential therapeutic option in a wide variety of patients, including elderly diabetic patients and those with renal impairment. The fixed-dose combination (FDC) tablet of teneligliptin and canagliflozin has been approved in Japan; this is the first FDC tablet of a DPP-4 inhibitor and sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor in Japan, and the third globally. The FDC tablet may also provide additional prescribing and adherence benefits.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We investigated the mechanisms of the glucose-lowering effects of teneligliptin and canagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, by monitoring several gastrointestinal peptides using the most appropriate measuring methods during multiple meal tolerance tests (MTTs) and flash glucose monitoring. METHODS Twelve Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes were enrolled in the 14-day study. Subjects were treated with teneligliptin 20 mg/day from day 4, followed by a combination tablet of teneligliptin 20 mg and canagliflozin 100 mg (T/C) per day from day 11. MTTs were conducted on days 3 (premedication; Pre), 10 (teneligliptin; T) and 13 (T/C) to evaluate plasma glucose, C-peptide, glucagon, active glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), active gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), ghrelin and des-acyl ghrelin. RESULTS Plasma glucose was significantly decreased with the progress of treatment intervention, and C-peptide was significantly decreased in T/C compared to the others. Plasma postprandial glucagon was increased for 90 min from fasting in Pre, but only for 30 min in T and T/C. Plasma postprandial active GLP-1 was significantly increased in T compared to Pre, and that of T/C was significantly higher than T. Plasma postprandial active GIP was increased in T and T/C compared to Pre. Plasma ghrelin and des-acyl ghrelin levels did not change during the treatment. CONCLUSION Teneligliptin increased incretin hormones and suppressed postprandial glucagon secretion as expected. Concurrent use of canagliflozin and teneligliptin improved glycemic control without increasing postprandial glucagon secretion, and increased postprandial GLP-1 secretion and decreased the required amount of postprandial insulin secretion. The underlying mechanisms may involve canagliflozin's inhibitory activity against not only SGLT2 but also SGLT1. TRIAL REGISTRATION UMIN identifier, UMIN000030043.

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

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the study is to update and determine the effects of sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor therapy on fracture and bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS We identified 27 eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared the efficacy and safety of SGLT2 inhibitors to a placebo in 20 895 T2DM participants, with an average duration of 64.22 weeks. The relative risk (RR) of bone fracture and weighted mean difference (WMD) of changes in the BMD from baseline were determined to evaluate the risk of fracture. The degree of heterogeneity was evaluated by the I2 statistic, and publication bias was estimated using a funnel plot and Egger test. RESULTS The pooled RR was 1.02 (95% CI [0.81, 1.28]) with low heterogeneity, indicating that SGLT2 inhibitor treatment was not correlated with a higher risk of fracture. Additionally, no increased risk was found for patients with different ages, sexes, and levels of HbA1c and some biochemical indicators. Three trials with 1303 patients reported a change in the BMD from baseline. SGLT2 inhibitor treatment did not decrease the BMD at four skeletal sites (lumbar spine, femoral neck, total hip, and distal forearm), and the overall WMD was 0.08 (95% CI [-0.09, 0.26]). No significant publication bias was detected. CONCLUSIONS No increased risk for bone fracture was detected in patients with T2DM treated with SGLT2 inhibitors in this meta-analysis. SGLT2 inhibitor therapy did not appear to affect bone health, but more long-term detailed data are needed to validate this conclusion.

Abstract
Epithelial glucose transport is accomplished by Na+ -glucose co-transporters, SGLT1 and SGLT2. In the intestine, uptake of dietary glucose is for its majority mediated by SGLT1, and humans with mutations in the SGLT1 gene show glucose/galactose malabsorption. In the kidney, both transporters, SGLT1 and SGLT2, are expressed and recent studies identified that SGLT2 mediates up to 97% of glucose reabsorption. Humans with mutations in the SGLT2 gene show familial renal glucosuria. In the last three decades, significant progress was made in understanding the physiology of these transporters and their potential as therapeutic targets. Based on the structure of phlorizin, a natural compound acting as a SGLT1/2 inhibitor, initially several SGLT2, and later SGLT1 and dual SGLT1/2 inhibitors have been developed. Interestingly, SGLT2 knockout or treatment with SGLT2 selective inhibitors only causes a fractional glucose excretion in the magnitude of ∼60%, an effect mediated by up-regulation of renal SGLT1. Based on these findings the hypothesis was brought forward that dual SGLT1/2 inhibition might further improve glycaemic control via targeting two distinct organs that express SGLT1: the intestine and the kidney. Of note, SGLT1/2 double knockout mice completely lack renal glucose reabsorption. This review will address the rationale for the development of SGLT1 and dual SGLT1/2 inhibitors and potential benefits compared to sole SGLT2 inhibition.

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

Abstract
The effect of anti-diabetic medications on bone metabolism has received increasing attention, considering that type 2 diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disorder with adverse effects on bone metabolism. Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are novel anti-diabetic medications that prevent glucose resorption at the proximal convoluted tubules in the kidney, increasing urinary glucose excretion, and decreasing the blood glucose level. The superiority of SGLT2 inhibitors shows in reducing the glucose level independent of insulin secretion, lowering the risk of hypoglycemia, and improving cardiovascular outcomes. SGLT2 inhibitors have been associated with genital mycotic infections, increased risk of acute kidney injury, dehydration, orthostatic hypotension, and ketoacidosis. Moreover, the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on bone metabolism and fracture risk has been widely taken into consideration. Our review summarizes the results of current studies investigating the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on bone metabolism (possibly including increased bone turnover, disrupted bone microarchitecture, and reduced bone mineral density). Several mechanisms are probably involved, such as bone mineral losses due to the disturbed calcium and phosphate homeostasis, as confirmed by an increase in fibroblast growth factor 23 and parathyroid hormone levels and a decrease in 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D levels. SGLT2 inhibitors might indirectly increase bone turnover by weight loss. Lowering the blood glucose level might ameliorate bone metabolism impairment in diabetes. The effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on bone fractures remains unclear. Evidence indicating the direct effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on fracture risk is lacking and increased falls probably contribute to fractures.

Abstract
AIMS This two-part, double-blind, double-dummy, randomized, placebo-controlled trial (83 sites) evaluated the efficacy and safety of empagliflozin (Empa) 10 or 25 mg and linagliptin (Lina) 5 mg fixed-dose combinations (FDCs) in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who were poorly controlled with Empa. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients (previously drug-naive or using one oral antidiabetic drug for ≥ 12 weeks) entered an open-label stabilization period (16 weeks, Empa 10 mg [Part A] or Empa 25 mg [Part B]). Subsequently, they received Empa 10 mg plus placebo (Plc) for Empa/Lina10/5 (Empa/Plc 10/5; Part A) or Empa 25 mg plus Plc for Empa/Lina 25/5 (Empa/Plc 25/5; Part B) for 2 weeks. Patients with HbA1c 7.5-10.0% were randomized (1:1) to a 24-week regimen of once-daily Empa/Lina 10/5 (n = 107) or Empa/Plc 10/5 (n = 108) in Part A, or to Empa/Lina 25/5 (n = 116) or Empa/Plc 25/5 (n = 116) in Part B, with a 28-week extension period in Part B. RESULTS Change from baseline in HbA1c at Week 24 was greater (P < 0.0001) with Empa/Lina than with Empa/Plc (primary outcome, Empa/Lina 10/5: -0.94 vs -0.12%; adjusted mean difference, -0.82%; Empa/Lina 25/5: -0.91 vs -0.33%; adjusted mean difference, -0.59%). Over 24- and 52-week periods, higher proportions of patients achieved HbA1c < 7.0% and greater decreases in fasting plasma glucose were observed with Empa/Lina compared with Empa/Plc. Empa/Lina was well tolerated, with no unexpected adverse events or diabetic ketoacidosis. One case of confirmed hypoglycaemia with Empa/Plc 25/5 was reported. CONCLUSIONS These results support Empa/Lina FDC as a potential option for Japanese patients with T2DM who require combination therapy. ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02489968.

Abstract
AIM Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is one of the major public health issues worldwide. The main cause of mortality and morbidity among T2D patients are cardiovascular (CV) causes. Various antidiabetics are used in T2D treatment, but until recently they lacked clear evidence of the reduction in CV mortality and all-cause mortality as independent study end-points. The aim of this article was to present and critically evaluate potential mechanisms behind the remarkable results documented in trials with new antidiabetics for the treatment of T2D. METHODS Relevant data were collected using the MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Science Direct, and Scopus databases with the key words: "type 2 diabetes," "mortality," "glucagon," "empagliflozin," "liraglutide," "insulin" and "QTc." Searches were not limited to specific publication types or study designs. RESULTS The EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial with empagliflozin and LEADER trial with liraglutide presented remarkable results regarding the reduction in mortality in T2D treatment. However, the potential mechanism for those beneficial effects is difficult to determine. It is not likely that improvements in classic CV risk factors are responsible for the observed effect. A potential mechanism may be caused by the elevation of postprandial (PP) glucagon concentrations that can be seen with an empagliflozin and liraglutide therapy, which could have beneficial effects considering the myocardial electrical stability in T2D patients. CONCLUSION This hypothesis throws new light upon possible mechanisms of reduction in mortality in T2D patients.

Abstract
Objectives It is controversial whether sodium glucose transporter (SGLT) 2 inhibitors increase glucagon secretion via direct inhibition of SGLT2 in pancreatic α cells. The role of SGLT1 in α cells is also unclear. We aimed to elucidate these points that are important not only for basic research but also for clinical insight. Methods Plasma glucagon levels were assessed in the high-fat, high-sucrose diet (HFHSD) fed C57BL/6J mice treated with dapagliflozin or canagliflozin. RT-PCR, RNA sequence, and immunohistochemistry were conducted to test the expression of SGLT1 and SGLT2 in α cells. We also used αTC1 cells and mouse islets to investigate the molecular mechanism by which SGLT1 modulates glucagon secretion. Results Dapagliflozin, but not canagliflozin, increased plasma glucagon levels in HFHSD fed mice. SGLT1 and glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), but not SGLT2, were expressed in αTC1 cells, mouse islets and human islets. A glucose clamp study revealed that the plasma glucagon increase associated with dapagliflozin could be explained as a response to acute declines in blood glucose. Canagliflozin suppressed glucagon secretion by inhibiting SGLT1 in α cells; consequently, plasma glucagon did not increase with canagliflozin, even though blood glucose declined. SGLT1 effect on glucagon secretion depended on glucose transport, but not glucose metabolism. Islets from HFHSD and db/db mice displayed higher SGLT1 mRNA levels and lower GLUT1 mRNA levels than the islets from control mice. These expression levels were associated with higher glucagon secretion. Furthermore, SGLT1 inhibitor and siRNA against SGLT1 suppressed glucagon secretion in isolated islets. Conclusions These data suggested that a novel mechanism regulated glucagon secretion through SGLT1 in α cells. This finding possibly explained the distinct effects of dapagliflozin and canagliflozin on plasma glucagon levels in mice. SGLT1, but not SGLT2, is expressed in αTC1 cells, mouse islets and human islets. SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin increases plasma glucagon in diabetic mice. SGLT2/low potency SGLT1 inhibitor canagliflozin does not increase plasma glucagon. Canagliflozin suppresses glucagon secretion by inhibiting SGLT1 in α cells. Higher expression of SGLT1 in islets is associated with higher glucagon secretion.

Abstract
AIMS This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02453555) evaluated the efficacy and safety of empagliflozin (Empa) 10 or 25 mg as add-on to linagliptin (Lina) 5 mg (fixed-dose combination, Empa/Lina 10/5 or 25/5) in insufficiently controlled Japanese type 2 diabetes patients. METHODS The trial (40 sites; May 2015-March 2017) involved screening 433 adults (≥20 years) who were treatment-naive or were using one oral antidiabetic drug for ≥12 weeks, which was discontinued at enrolment. Patients with HbA1c 7.5%-10.0% after ≥16 weeks of using Lina (pre-enrolment or during a 16-week, open-label period) and 2 weeks of using placebo (Plc) for Empa/Lina 10/5, plus Lina, were randomized (2:1) to once-daily Empa/Lina 10/5 (n = 182) or Plc/Lina 10/5 (n = 93) for 24 weeks. Patients with HbA1c ≥ 7.0% at Week 24 received Empa/Lina up-titrated to 25/5 (n = 126) or the corresponding placebo (n = 80), per randomization, from Week 28; 172 Empa/Lina and 84 Plc/Lina patients completed 52 weeks. RESULTS Change from baseline in HbA1c was greater (P < .0001) with Empa/Lina than with Plc/Lina at Week 24 (primary outcome, -0.93% vs 0.21%; adjusted mean difference, -1.14%) and Week 52 (-1.16% vs 0.06%; adjusted mean difference, -1.22%). More patients with HbA1c < 7.0% and greater decreases in fasting plasma glucose, body weight and systolic blood pressure were seen in the Empa/Lina group than in the Plc/Lina group. Empa/Lina was well tolerated. The adverse events that were more frequent with Empa/Lina were known empagliflozin-associated events (eg, increased urination, increased blood ketones). There were no adjudication-confirmed diabetic ketoacidosis events or lower limb amputations. CONCLUSIONS These results support the notion that empagliflozin-linagliptin in fixed-dose combination is a therapeutic option for Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Healthy eating is a critical aspect of the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Disrupted eating patterns can result in poor glucose control and increase the likelihood of diabetic complications. Teneligliptin inhibits dipeptidyl peptidase-4 activity for 24 h and suppresses postprandial hyperglycemia after all three daily meals. This interim analysis of data from the large-scale post-marketing surveillance of teneligliptin (RUBY) in Japan examined eating patterns and their relationship with metabolic parameters and diabetic complications. We also examined whether eating patterns affected safety and efficacy of teneligliptin. METHODS We analyzed baseline data from survey forms collected in RUBY between May 2013 and June 2017, including patient characteristics, metabolic parameters, and eating patterns (eating three meals per day or not; timing of evening meal) before teneligliptin treatment was initiated. Safety and efficacy of 12 months' teneligliptin (20-40 mg/day) treatment was assessed. RESULTS Data from 10,532 patients were available for analysis. Most patients who did not eat three meals per day (n =757) or who ate their evening meal after 10 PM (n =206) were 64 years old or younger. At baseline, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting blood glucose, triglycerides, total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, body mass index, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate aminotransferase levels were higher in those patients who did not eat three meals per day (p < 0.05) or who ate their evening meal late (p < 0.05). Diabetic complications were more common in patients who did not eat three meals per day. Treatment with teneligliptin reduced HbA1c over 6 or 12 months across all eating patterns, with a low incidence of adverse drug reactions. CONCLUSIONS Eating patterns may be associated with altered metabolic parameters and diabetic complications among Japanese patients with T2DM. Teneligliptin may be well tolerated and improve hyperglycemia in patients with T2DM irrespective of eating patterns. FUNDING Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation and Daiichi Sankyo Co. Ltd.

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

Abstract
The impact of tofogliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor, on peripheral glucose uptake in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was investigated using the hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamp method in a single-arm, open-label study. The following variables were compared between before and after tofogliflozin administration for 12 weeks in 16 patients with T2DM who were receiving dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor treatment: body weight (BW); blood pressure; glucose metabolism; liver function; lipid profile; and body composition. Peripheral glucose uptake (M value and M/I ratio) was examined by the hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamp method. After 12 weeks, there was a significant decrease (P < .001) in glycated haemoglobin, BW, body fat mass and lean body mass. Peripheral glucose uptake, which indicates insulin sensitivity, increased significantly (M value by 0.90 and M/I ratio by 0.49; both P < .05). The change in the M value after 12 weeks of tofogliflozin therapy was correlated with the change in body fat mass (P < .05). Tofogliflozin significantly improved insulin sensitivity and peripheral glucose uptake in patients with T2DM. These improvements were significantly correlated with reduction in body fat mass.

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

Abstract
BACKGROUND This review evaluated the efficacy and safety of a combination therapy comprising a sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP4i) in type 2 diabetes. METHODS A literature search through to May 2017 was carried out of PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Studies were eligible if they were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing SGLT2i plus DPP4i (SGLT2i/DPP4i) against DPP4i±placebo or SGLT2i±placebo and published in English. The primary outcome was change in HbA1c from baseline. RESULTS Eight RCTs comparing SGLT2i/DPP4i and DPP4i, and five RCTs comparing SGLT2i/DPP4i and SGLT2i, with three RCTs involving both comparisons, were included in the present review. SGLT2i/DPP4i resulted in a greater mean HbA1c reduction [weighted mean difference (WMD]): -0.62%] than did DPP4i alone, which was a much less marked reduction (WMD: -0.35%) than with SGLT2i alone. Also, significant differences in body weight loss from baseline were observed only with SGLT2i/DPP4i vs. DPP4i, but not vs. SGLT2i. The risk of hypoglycaemic events was low and similar between treatment groups. When subjects were stratified based on baseline HbA1c, any reduction by SGLT2i/DPP4i in relation to DPP4i was proportional to baseline HbA1c levels. However, compared with SGLT2i, HbA1c reductions with SGLT2i/DPP4i were modest regardless of baseline HbA1c. CONCLUSION Combination therapy with SGLT2i and DPP4i is both efficacious and safe. In particular, a marked additional glucose-lowering effect is evident when SGLT2i is combined with or added to DPP4i, and not vice versa. However, baseline HbA1c determined the additional glucose-lowering effects of SGLT2i in combined treatment with DPP4i.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors and sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are frequently used in combination for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We examined the efficacy and safety of teneligliptin (a DPP-4 inhibitor) added to canagliflozin (an SGLT2 inhibitor) monotherapy in Japanese patients with poorly controlled T2DM as part of the development of a fixed-dose combination of teneligliptin and canagliflozin. Japanese patients treated with canagliflozin (100 mg) for ≥12 weeks were randomized to receive add-on teneligliptin (20 mg; C + T group) or placebo (C + P group) for 24 weeks. The primary endpoint was change in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) from baseline to Week 24. The between-group differences in reductions from baseline to Week 24 were significantly greater in the C + T group for HbA1c (-0.94%; P < .001). The incidence of adverse events was similar in both groups (55.8% and 49.4% in the C + T and C + P groups, respectively). No episodes of hypoglycaemia were reported. Teneligliptin added to ongoing canagliflozin monotherapy improved glycaemic control and was well tolerated in Japanese patients with inadequately controlled T2DM.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of canagliflozin as add-on therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who had inadequate glycaemic control with teneligliptin monotherapy. METHODS This open-label 52-week study was conducted in Japan. Patients received canagliflozin 100 mg added to teneligliptin 20 mg orally once daily for 52 weeks. The safety endpoint was the incidence of adverse events (AEs). The efficacy endpoints included changes in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and body weight from baseline to week 52 (with last observation carried forward). RESULTS Overall, 153 patients entered the treatment period and 142 completed the study. The overall incidence rates of AEs and drug-related AEs were 69.9% and 22.9%, respectively. Most AEs and drug-related AEs were mild or moderate in severity. There were no previously undescribed safety signals. The mean changes in HbA1c, FPG and body weight were -0.99% (95% confidence interval [CI] -1.12 to -0.85), -38.6 mg/dL (95% CI -43.4 to -33.9) and -3.92% (95% CI -4.53 to -3.31), respectively. These effects were maintained for 52 weeks without attenuation. HbA1c and body weight were both decreased in 82.24% of patients at the end of the treatment period. Reductions in postprandial glucose were observed at weeks 24 and 52. CONCLUSIONS No new safety risks with this combination were identified, and sustained improvements in HbA1c, FPG and body weight were observed. The findings suggest that long-term co-administration of canagliflozin with teneligliptin is well tolerated and effective in Japanese patients with T2DM who have inadequate glycaemic control on teneligliptin alone.

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