The Association of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors With Cardiovascular Outcomes in Anthracycline-Treated Patients With Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are hypothesized to reduce the risk of anthracycline-associated cardiotoxicity.

Objectives

This study sought to determine the association between SGLT2is and cardiovascular disease (CVD) after anthracycline-containing chemotherapy.

Methods

Using administrative data sets, we conducted a population-based cohort study of people >65 years of age with treated diabetes and no prior heart failure (HF) who received anthracyclines between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2019. After estimating propensity scores for SGLT2i use, the average treatment effects for the treated weights were used to reduce baseline differences between SGLT2i-exposed and -unexposed controls. The outcomes were hospitalization for HF, incident HF diagnoses (in- or out-of-hospital), and documentation of any CVD in future hospitalizations. Death was treated as a competing risk. Cause-specific HRs for each outcome were determined for SGLT2i-treated people relative to unexposed controls.

Results

We studied 933 patients (median age 71.0 years, 62.2% female), 99 of whom were SGLT2i treated. During a median follow-up of 1.6 years, there were 31 hospitalizations for HF (0 in the SGLT2i group), 93 new HF diagnoses, and 74 hospitalizations with documented CVD. Relative to controls, SGLT2i exposure was associated with HR of 0 for HF hospitalization (P < 0.001) but no significant difference in incident HF diagnosis (HR: 0.55; 95% CI: 0.23-1.31; P = 0.18) or CVD diagnosis (HR: 0.39; 95% CI: 0.12-1.28; P = 0.12). There was no significant difference in mortality (HR: 0.63; 95% CI: 0.36-1.11; P = 0.11).

Conclusions

SGLT2is may reduce the rate of HF hospitalization after anthracycline-containing chemotherapy. This hypothesis warrants further testing in randomized controlled trials.

Project description:ImportanceThe cardiovascular outcome in selected populations when sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2-Is) are emerging as standard therapy is not clearly understood. It is important to learn the magnitude of cardiovascular benefit using SGLT2-Is across the select subgroups that include both sexes and multiple age and racial and ethnic groups.ObjectivesTo evaluate the association between use of SGLT2-Is and cardiovascular benefits in a prespecified group in a larger sample size using data obtained from randomized clinical trials.Data sourcesSearch of electronic databases PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Cochrane from inception to January 10, 2021, with additional studies identified through conference papers and meeting presentations, ClinicalTrials.gov, and reference lists of published studies.Study selectionPlacebo-controlled randomized clinical trials in which participants had atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or risk factors for ASCVD, diabetes, or heart failure and which reported the primary outcome were included in this study. Multicenter observational and nonobservational studies and those with different outcomes of interest were excluded.Data extraction and synthesisMedical Subject Heading search terms included SGLT2-I and multiple cardiovascular outcomes in different combinations. The study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) reporting guideline. The analysis of all outcomes was performed using a Mantel-Haenszel equation and the random-effects model.Main outcomes and measuresSix efficacy outcomes of SGLT2-I use (cardiovascular death and hospitalization for heart failure [HHF] as the primary outcome and major adverse cardiovascular event, HHF, cardiovascular death, acute myocardial infarction, and all-cause mortality as secondary outcomes), were evaluated. Subgroup analysis was performed for the primary outcome of cardiovascular death or HHF. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs were used to compare 2 interventions.ResultsTen studies with 71 553 participants were included, among whom 39 053 received SGLT2-Is; among studies that reported these data, 28 809 were men and 15 655 were women (mean age, 65.2 [range, 61.9-70.0] years). Race and ethnicity were defined in the original trials and were categorized as Asian, Black, or other (6900 participants) and White (26 646 participants) for the purposes of this analysis (the category "other" was not specified consistently). In terms of age, 16 793 were younger than 65 years and 17 087 were 65 years or older. At a mean follow-up 2.3 (range, 0.8-4.2) years, the SGLT2-I group favored reduction in primary outcome (3165 of 39 053 [8.10%] vs 3756 of 32 500 [11.56%]; OR, 0.67 [95% CI, 0.55-0.80]; P < .001). No difference was noted in the rate of acute myocardial infarction compared with the placebo group (1256 of 26 931 [4.66%] vs 958 of 20 373 [4.70%]; OR, 0.95 [95% CI, 0.87-1.03]; P = .22). Subgroup analysis favored SGLT2-I use for the primary outcome in both sexes, age groups, and racial and ethnic groups.Conclusions and relevanceThis meta-analysis supports that SGLT2-Is have emerged as an effective class of drugs for improving cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in selected patients. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors were not associated with reduced risk of acute myocardial infarction. Future long-term prospective studies are warranted to understand the long-term cardiovascular benefits.

Project description:Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) reduce albuminuria and hard renal outcomes (decline of renal function, renal replacement therapy and renal death) in patients with/without type 2 diabetes at high cardiovascular or renal risk. The question arises whether baseline albuminuria also influences renal outcomes with SGLT2is as reported with renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors. Post hoc analyses focusing on albuminuria and renal outcomes of four cardiovascular outcome trials [EMPA-REG OUTCOME (Empagliflozin Cardiovascular Outcome Event Trial in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients), CANVAS (Canagliflozin Cardiovascular Assessment Study), DECLARE-TIMI 58 (Multicenter Trial to Evaluate the Effect of Dapagliflozin on the Incidence of Cardiovascular Events-Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction 58) and VERTIS CV (Evaluation of Ertugliflozin Efficacy and Safety Cardiovascular Outcomes Trial)] and some renal data from two heart failure trials [Dapagliflozin and Prevention of Adverse Outcomes in Heart Failure (DAPA-HF) and EMPEROR-Reduced (Empagliflozin Outcome Trial in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction)] showed renal protection with SGLT2is without significant interaction (P > 0.10) when comparing renal outcomes according to baseline levels (A1, A2 and A3) of urinary albumin:creatinine ratio (UACR), a finding confirmed in a dedicated meta-analysis. Two trials [CREDENCE (Evaluation of the Effects of Canagliflozin on Renal and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Participants With Diabetic Nephropathy) and DAPA-CKD (Dapagliflozin and Prevention of Adverse Outcomes in Chronic Kidney Disease)] specifically recruited patients with CKD and UACRs of 200-5000 mg/g. A post hoc analysis of CREDENCE that distinguished three subgroups according to UACR (300-1000, 1000-3000 and >3000 mg/g) showed a greater relative reduction in UACR in patients with lower baseline albuminuria levels (P for interaction = 0.03). Patients with a UACR >1000 mg/g showed a significantly greater reduction in absolute (P for interaction < 0.001) and a trend in relative (P for interaction = 0.25) risk of renal events versus those with lower UACR levels. In conclusion, baseline UACR levels do not significantly influence the nephroprotection by SGLT2is, yet the greater protection in patients with very high UACRs in CREDENCE deserves confirmation. The underlying mechanisms of renal protection with SGLT2is might be different in patients with or without (high) UACR.

Project description:BackgroundReduction in cardiovascular death and hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) was recently reported with the sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT-2i) empagliflozin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. We compared HHF and death in patients newly initiated on any SGLT-2i versus other glucose-lowering drugs in 6 countries to determine if these benefits are seen in real-world practice and across SGLT-2i class.MethodsData were collected via medical claims, primary care/hospital records, and national registries from the United States, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Propensity score for SGLT-2i initiation was used to match treatment groups. Hazard ratios for HHF, death, and their combination were estimated by country and pooled to determine weighted effect size. Death data were not available for Germany.ResultsAfter propensity matching, there were 309 056 patients newly initiated on either SGLT-2i or other glucose-lowering drugs (154 528 patients in each treatment group). Canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and empagliflozin accounted for 53%, 42%, and 5% of the total exposure time in the SGLT-2i class, respectively. Baseline characteristics were balanced between the 2 groups. There were 961 HHF cases during 190 164 person-years follow-up (incidence rate, 0.51/100 person-years). Of 215 622 patients in the United States, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, death occurred in 1334 (incidence rate, 0.87/100 person-years), and HHF or death in 1983 (incidence rate, 1.38/100 person-years). Use of SGLT-2i, versus other glucose-lowering drugs, was associated with lower rates of HHF (hazard ratio, 0.61; 95% confidence interval, 0.51-0.73; P<0.001); death (hazard ratio, 0.49; 95% confidence interval, 0.41-0.57; P<0.001); and HHF or death (hazard ratio, 0.54; 95% confidence interval, 0.48-0.60; P<0.001) with no significant heterogeneity by country.ConclusionsIn this large multinational study, treatment with SGLT-2i versus other glucose-lowering drugs was associated with a lower risk of HHF and death, suggesting that the benefits seen with empagliflozin in a randomized trial may be a class effect applicable to a broad population of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in real-world practice.Clinical trial registrationURL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov.
