Systolic blood pressure reduction with tirzepatide in patients with type 2 diabetes: insights from SURPASS clinical program.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Tirzepatide, a once-weekly glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide/ glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, is approved in the United States, Europe and Japan for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Across the SURPASS-1 to -5 clinical studies, tirzepatide 5, 10 and 15 mg demonstrated significant improvements in glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (- 1.9 to - 2.6%), body weight (- 6.6 to - 13.9%) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) (- 2.8 to - 12.6 mmHg) at the end of study treatment.

Methods

Post-hoc mediation analyses were conducted to evaluate weight-loss dependent and weight-loss independent effects of tirzepatide on SBP reductions across the 5 SURPASS studies. The safety population (all randomized patients who took at least 1 dose of study drug) of each study was analyzed. Additional analyses were conducted at individual study level or pooled across 5 SURPASS trials.

Results

The difference in mean SBP change from baseline at 40 weeks (total effect) between the tirzepatide and comparator groups was - 1.3 to - 5.1 mmHg (tirzepatide 5 mg), - 1.7 to - 6.5 mmHg (tirzepatide 10 mg) and - 3.1 to - 11.5 mmHg (tirzepatide 15 mg). These SBP reductions were primarily mediated through weight loss, with different degrees of contributions from weight-loss independent effects across the different trials. In the SURPASS-4 study, which enrolled patients with established cardiovascular disease, weight-loss independent effects explained 33% to 57% of difference in SBP change between tirzepatide and insulin glargine groups. In a pooled analysis of the SURPASS-1 to -5 studies, there was a significant (p < 0.001) but weak correlation (r = 0.18 to 0.22) between change in body weight and SBP. Reductions in SBP with tirzepatide were not dependent on concomitant antihypertensive medications at baseline as similar reductions were observed whether participants were receiving them or not (interaction p = 0.77). The largest SBP reductions were observed in the highest baseline category (> 140 mmHg), while those in the first quartile of baseline SBP category (< 122 mmHg) observed no further decrease in SBP.

Conclusions

Tirzepatide-induced SBP reduction was primarily mediated through weight loss, with different degrees of contributions from weight-loss independent effects across the different trials. SBP reduction was not dependent on antihypertensive medication use but dependent on baseline SBP value, alleviating theoretical concerns of hypotension.

Project description:BackgroundMetabolic syndrome is characterized as the co-occurrence of interrelated cardiovascular risk factors, including insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia and hypertension. Once weekly tirzepatide is approved in the US and EU for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity. In the SURPASS clinical trial program for T2D, tirzepatide demonstrated greater improvements in glycemic control, body weight reduction and other cardiometabolic risk factors versus placebo, subcutaneous semaglutide 1 mg, insulin degludec, and insulin glargine. This post hoc analysis assessed the effect of tirzepatide use on the prevalence of patients meeting the criteria for metabolic syndrome across SURPASS 1-5.MethodsMetabolic syndrome was defined as having ≥ 3 of 5 criteria according to the US National Cholesterol Education Program: Adult Treatment Panel III. Analyses were based on on-treatment data at the primary endpoint from patients adherent to treatment (taking ≥ 75% study drug). A logistic regression model with metabolic syndrome status as the response variable, metabolic syndrome status at the baseline visit as an adjustment, and randomized treatment as fixed explanatory effect was used. The effect of tirzepatide use on the prevalence of patients meeting the criteria for metabolic syndrome by categorical weight loss, background medication and gender were assessed.ResultsIn SURPASS, the prevalence of patients meeting the criteria for metabolic syndrome at baseline was 67-88% across treatment groups with reductions at the primary endpoint to 38-64% with tirzepatide versus 64-82% with comparators. Reductions in the prevalence of patients meeting the criteria for metabolic syndrome was significantly greater with all tirzepatide doses versus placebo, semaglutide 1 mg, insulin glargine, and insulin degludec (p < 0.001). Individual components of metabolic syndrome were also reduced to a greater extent with tirzepatide vs comparators. Greater reductions in body weight were associated with greater reductions in the prevalence of patients meeting the criteria for metabolic syndrome and its individual components. Background SGLT2i or sulfonylurea use or gender did not impact the change in prevalence of patients meeting the criteria for metabolic syndrome.ConclusionsIn this post hoc analysis, tirzepatide at all doses studied was associated with a greater reduction in the prevalence of patients meeting the criteria for metabolic syndrome compared to placebo, semaglutide 1 mg, insulin degludec, and insulin glargine. Although more evidence is needed, these data would support greater potential improvement in cardiovascular risk factor profile with tirzepatide treatment in people across the continuum of T2D.

Project description:IntroductionTirzepatide, a once-weekly glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide/glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, provides clinically meaningful improvements in glycaemic control and body weight loss in people with type 2 diabetes. The early efficacy profile of tirzepatide after treatment initiation is of interest. In this exploratory pre-planned analysis, we evaluated the time to achieve glycaemic control and body weight loss thresholds with tirzepatide.MethodsIn two randomised studies, we compared time to achieve HbA1c (< 7.0% and ≤ 6.5%) and weight loss (≥ 5%, SURPASS-2 only) thresholds among people treated with tirzepatide (5, 10, and 15 mg), semaglutide 1 mg in SURPASS-2, and titrated insulin degludec in SURPASS-3. Longitudinal logistic regression models were used to explore the proportion of participants achieving HbA1c and body weight loss thresholds at 4, 12, and 24 weeks. The time to achieve these thresholds was analysed and compared between groups using the Cox proportional-hazards model.ResultsOverall, greater proportions of participants achieved the HbA1c and body weight loss thresholds at 4, 12, and 24 weeks with tirzepatide compared with semaglutide 1 mg and insulin degludec. The median time to achieve HbA1c < 7.0% (8.1 weeks with each tirzepatide dose, 12.0 weeks with semaglutide 1 mg, and 12.1 weeks with insulin degludec) and ≤ 6.5% (12.1, 15.7, and 24.1 weeks, respectively) was faster with tirzepatide than semaglutide 1 mg and insulin degludec. In SURPASS-2, the median time to first achieve a body weight loss of ≥ 5% was faster with tirzepatide 5 mg (16.0 weeks) and 10 and 15 mg (12.4 weeks) than with semaglutide 1 mg (24.0 weeks).ConclusionAnalyses of data from SURPASS-2 and -3 revealed that tirzepatide treatment enabled more people with type 2 diabetes to achieve glycaemic thresholds and these were achieved faster than with semaglutide 1 mg or insulin degludec. Tirzepatide-treated participants also achieved a body weight loss of ≥ 5% significantly faster with tirzepatide than with semaglutide 1 mg.Trial registration numbersNCT03987919; NCT03882970.

Project description:IntroductionThe presence of metabolic abnormalities in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and other comorbidities. This analysis compared the effects of tirzepatide (5, 10, and 15 mg) and dulaglutide 0.75 mg on the prevalence of metabolic abnormalities in Japanese patients with T2D.MethodsThis was a post hoc analysis of SURPASS J-mono, a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, parallel-group, phase 3 trial that compared the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide monotherapy (5, 10, and 15 mg) to dulaglutide 0.75 mg in Japanese patients with T2D. Thresholds for abnormalities were based on the Japanese criteria for metabolic syndrome. Proportions of participants meeting a composite endpoint (visceral fat accumulation measured by waist circumference plus two or more of dyslipidemia, hypertension, or hyperglycemia) or individual component thresholds were calculated at baseline and week 52 for the overall population and for baseline body mass index (BMI) subgroups (< 25, 25 to < 30, and ≥ 30 kg/m2).ResultsOf 636 randomized participants, 431 (67.8%) met the composite endpoint at baseline, with similar findings observed across treatment arms. At week 52, the proportion of participants on treatment that met the composite endpoint was 31.7%, 23.0%, and 14.2% in the tirzepatide 5-, 10-, and 15-mg arms, respectively, and 56.5% in the dulaglutide arm (p < 0.001). A higher proportion met the composite endpoint at baseline in the BMI 25 to < 30 and ≥ 30 kg/m2 subgroups (73.2-79.3%) compared with the < 25 kg/m2 subgroup (45.3%), with reductions observed across all BMI subgroups treated with tirzepatide. The proportion of participants with individual metabolic abnormalities showed similar trends to those observed for the composite endpoint. Tirzepatide was consistently superior to dulaglutide across all assessments.ConclusionsTirzepatide reduced the prevalence of multiple metabolic abnormalities, indicating tirzepatide may have metabolic benefit in Japanese patients with T2D.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03861052.
