Medical database analysis of the association between kidney function and achievement of glycemic control in older Japanese adults with type 2 diabetes who started with oral antidiabetic drugs.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/introduction

Despite the emergence of new drugs with novel mechanisms of action, treatment options for older people and those with chronic kidney disease are still limited.

Materials and methods

Using a medical database compiled from Diagnostic Procedure Combination hospitals, we retrospectively analyzed treatment status, glycemic control and kidney function over 3 years after the first oral antidiabetic drugs in Japanese adults with type 2 diabetes who were aged ≥65 years.

Results

Among 5,434 study participants, 3,246 (59.7%) were men, the median age was 72.0 years, the baseline median hemoglobin A1c was 7.1% and the baseline median estimated glomerular filtration rate was 66.6 mL/min/1.73 m². Treatment was intensified in 40.0% of people during the 3-year observation period, and the median time to the first treatment intensification was 198 days. Insulin was the most commonly used agent for treatment intensification (36.9%, 802/2,175). Hemoglobin A1c of <7.0% was achieved in 3,571 (65.7%) at 360 ± 90 days. Multivariable logistic regression analysis found that baseline age, hemoglobin A1c and estimated glomerular filtration rate were negatively associated with achieving hemoglobin A1c of <7.0% at 360 ± 90 days.

Conclusions

In older Japanese adults with type 2 diabetes, those with a lower estimated glomerular filtration rate were more likely to achieve hemoglobin A1c of <7.0%. To safely manage blood glucose levels in older adults with chronic kidney disease, physicians should remain vigilant about the risk of iatrogenic hypoglycemia.

Project description:IntroductionTwo studies were carried out to investigate the efficacy and safety of luseogliflozin added to existing oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) in Japanese type 2 diabetic patients inadequately controlled with OAD monotherapy.Materials and methodsIn the trial involving add-on to sulfonylureas (study 03-1), patients were randomly assigned to receive luseogliflozin 2.5 mg or a placebo for a 24-week double-blind period, followed by a 28-week open-label period. In the open-label trial involving add-on to other OADs; that is, biguanides, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, thiazolidinediones, glinides and α-glucosidase inhibitors (study 03-2), patients received luseogliflozin for 52 weeks.ResultsIn study 03-1, luseogliflozin significantly decreased glycated hemoglobin at the end of the 24-week double-blind period compared with the placebo (-0.88%, P < 0.001), and glycated hemoglobin reduction from baseline at week 52 was -0.63%. In study 03-2, luseogliflozin added to other OADs significantly decreased glycated hemoglobin from baseline at week 52 (-0.52 to -0.68%, P < 0.001 for all OADs). Bodyweight reduction was observed in all add-on therapies, even with agents associated with weight gain, such as sulfonylureas and thiazolidinediones. Most adverse events were mild in severity. When added to a sulfonylurea, incidences of hypoglycemia during the double-blind period were 8.7% and 4.2% for luseogliflozin and placebo, respectively, but no major hypoglycemic episodes occurred. The frequency and incidences of adverse events of special interest for sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors and adverse events associated with combined OADs were acceptable.ConclusionsAdd-on therapies of luseogliflozin to existing OADs improved glycemic control, reduced bodyweight and were well tolerated in Japanese type 2 diabetic patients. These trials were registered with the Japan Pharmaceutical Information Center (add on to sulfonylurea: JapicCTI-111507; add on to other OADs: JapicCTI-111508).
