Impact of voglibose on the pharmacokinetics of dapagliflozin in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Dapagliflozin is an orally administered selective sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor under development for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Dapagliflozin lowers blood glucose through a reduction in renal glucose reabsorption. This study was performed to assess the effect of the oral antidiabetic agent voglibose [0.2 mg thrice daily (t.i.d.)] at steady-state, on the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of dapagliflozin administered as a single oral dose (10 mg) to Japanese patients with T2DM.

Methods

This was an open-label, multi-center, drug-drug interaction study. A single oral dose of dapagliflozin (10 mg) was administered to 22 Japanese patients with T2DM in the presence and absence of voglibose (0.2 mg t.i.d.). Serial blood samples were collected before and at regular prespecified intervals after each dapagliflozin dose to determine dapagliflozin plasma concentrations and to evaluate pharmacokinetic parameters. Based on a mixed effect analysis of variance model, including the dosing condition as a fixed effect and patients as a random effect, the ratios of geometric means of area under curve from time 0 to infinity (AUC0-inf) and maximum observed plasma concentration (C max) with and without voglibose were estimated along with two-sided 90% confidence intervals (CIs).

Results

In Japanese patients with T2DM, the exposure to dapagliflozin following a single oral dose of dapagliflozin 10 mg was not influenced by the concomitant administration of voglibose (0.2 mg t.i.d.). The geometric ratio (90% CI) for dapagliflozin AUC0-inf with/without voglibose was 1.009 (0.954, 1.067), and for C max 1.040 (0.899, 1.204). The median time to C max (t max) and plasma clearance of dapagliflozin were also similar between treatments. The mean half-life (t ½) for dapagliflozin was slightly higher when administered in combination with voglibose. Dapagliflozin 10 mg was well tolerated when administered alone and in combination with voglibose in Japanese patients with T2DM.

Conclusion

The results presented here support the co-administration of dapagliflozin and voglibose without dose adjustment of either agent.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Dapagliflozin is a selective sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor that improves glycemic control and reduces body weight and systolic blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Dapagliflozin is effective and well tolerated over 12-24 weeks in Japanese patients with T2DM. In this study, the safety and efficacy of dapagliflozin administered as monotherapy and combination therapy were assessed over 52 weeks in Japanese patients with T2DM. METHODS:This was a 52-week open-label Phase 3 study consisting of a single treatment arm with no comparator. Dapagliflozin was administered as monotherapy (n = 249) or combination therapy (n = 479) with existing antihyperglycemic agents (sulfonylurea, glinides, metformin, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, thiazolidinediones, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists) to Japanese patients with T2DM and inadequate glycemic control for 52 weeks. Treatment with dapagliflozin was initiated at 5 mg/day and titrated to 10 mg/day as required. RESULTS:Dapagliflozin administered as monotherapy or combination therapy was well tolerated. The frequency of adverse events (AEs) over 52 weeks was similar between monotherapy (79.1%) and combination therapy (72.4%) groups, and AEs were mostly mild or moderate. The incidence of hypoglycemia at 52 weeks was 2.4% in the monotherapy group and 4.0% in the combination therapy group. In patients receiving dapagliflozin as monotherapy or combination therapy, reductions from baseline to week 52 were observed in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (-0.7% in both groups), weight (-2.6 and -2.1 kg, respectively), and systolic blood pressure (-5.2 mmHg and -3.9 mmHg). In patients with insufficient response to 5 mg/day, dapagliflozin was increased to 10 mg/day, and a further decrease in HbA1c from the pre-titration value was observed in both groups. CONCLUSION:Dapagliflozin was well tolerated and effective as monotherapy or combination therapy in Japanese patients with T2DM over 52 weeks.

Project description:IntroductionCanagliflozin is a sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor approved worldwide for the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The present study evaluated pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety of canagliflozin in Japanese patients with T2DM.MethodsCanagliflozin, at doses of 25, 100, 200, or 400 mg, was administered as a single dose and, after a washout of 1 day, in repeated doses for 14 consecutive days to 61 subjects in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Plasma concentrations of canagliflozin and urinary glucose excretion (UGE) were measured, and renal threshold for glucose excretion (RTG) was calculated. Safety was evaluated on the basis of adverse event (AE) reports, blood and urine laboratory parameters, and vital signs.ResultsPlasma canagliflozin maximum concentration and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) values increased in a dose-dependent manner with the time to maximum concentration (t max) of 1.0 h and elimination half-life (t 1/2) of 10.22-13.26 h on Day 1. No significant changes in t max and t 1/2 were observed after multiple-dose administration. The linearity factors, as calculated from the ratios of AUC0-24h on Day 16 to AUC0-∞ on Day 1, were close to 1 in all canagliflozin groups. Canagliflozin increased UGE0-24h (80-110 g/day with canagliflozin ≥100 mg) and decreased RTG from the first day of treatment; these effects were sustained during the entire period of multiple administration. No significant AEs were noted. Urine volume was slightly increased on Day 1, but subsequent changes after repeated doses for 14 days were small. Urinary sodium tended to be higher in the early treatment period, whereas no particular change was observed in serum osmolality and hematocrit.ConclusionCanagliflozin increased UGE, decreased RTG, and was well tolerated throughout the entire period of multiple administrations in Japanese patients with T2DM.FundingMitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov#NCT00707954.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The Y-AIDA study was designed to investigate the renal- and home blood pressure (BP)-modulating effects of add-on dapagliflozin treatment in Japanese individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and albuminuria. METHODS:We conducted a prospective, multicenter, single-arm study. Eighty-six patients with T2DM, HbA1c 7.0-10.0%, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)???45 mL/min/1.73 m2, and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR)???30 mg/g creatinine (gCr) were enrolled, and 85 of these patients were administered add-on dapagliflozin for 24 weeks. The primary and key secondary endpoints were change from baseline in the natural logarithm of UACR over 24 weeks and change in home BP profile at week 24. RESULTS:Baseline median UACR was 181.5 mg/gCr (interquartile range 47.85, 638.0). Baseline morning, evening, and nocturnal home systolic/diastolic BP was 137.6/82.7 mmHg, 136.1/79.3 mmHg, and 125.4/74.1 mmHg, respectively. After 24 weeks, the logarithm of UACR decreased by 0.37?±?0.73 (P?<?0.001). In addition, changes in morning, evening, and nocturnal home BP from baseline were as follows: morning systolic/diastolic BP -?8.32?±?11.42/-?4.18?±?5.91 mmHg (both P?<?0.001), evening systolic/diastolic BP -?9.57?±?12.08/-?4.48?±?6.45 mmHg (both P?<?0.001), and nocturnal systolic/diastolic BP -?2.38?±?7.82/-?1.17?±?5.39 mmHg (P?=?0.0079 for systolic BP, P?=?0.0415 for diastolic BP). Furthermore, the reduction in UACR after 24 weeks significantly correlated with an improvement in home BP profile, but not with changes in other variables, including office BP. Multivariate linear regression analysis also revealed that the change in morning home systolic BP was a significant contributor to the change in log-UACR. CONCLUSIONS:In Japanese patients with T2DM and diabetic nephropathy, dapagliflozin significantly improved albuminuria levels and the home BP profile. Improved morning home systolic BP was associated with albuminuria reduction.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Few prospective studies have compared the cardiovascular benefits of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors. We aimed to clarify the efficacy of dapagliflozin versus sitagliptin for modulating cardiometabolic risk factors including high glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, hypoglycemia, and body weight. METHODS:This prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded-endpoint, parallel-group trial enrolled 340 Japanese patients with early-stage type 2 diabetes receiving metformin alone or no glucose-lowering agents, who were randomized to receive dapagliflozin or sitagliptin for 24 weeks. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients who achieved the composite endpoint of HbA1c level maintenance <?7.0% (53 mmol/mol), avoidance of hypoglycemia (maintenance of sensor glucose ??3.0 mmol/L or ??54 mg/dL), and ??3.0% body weight loss from baseline. Secondary endpoints included components of the primary endpoint, other metabolic indices, and glucose variability indices measured using flash glucose monitoring. RESULTS:Clinical characteristics of patients were age, 58.1?±?12.2 years; known duration of diabetes, 5.8?±?6.1 years; body weight, 74.7?±?14.2 kg; body mass index, 27.9?±?4.1 kg/m2; and HbA1c level, 7.8?±?0.8% at baseline. The achievement ratio of primary endpoint was significantly higher in the dapagliflozin group than in the sitagliptin group (24.4% vs. 13.8%, P?<?0.05). While the rates of HbA1c level maintenance <?7.0% (53 mmol/mol) and avoidance of hypoglycemia were comparable between the groups (49.4 vs. 50.0% and 88.7 vs. 92.3% for dapagliflozin vs. sitagliptin, respectively), body weight loss of ??3.0% was significantly achieved in the dapagliflozin group (54.4 vs. 19.6%, P?<?0.001). Moreover, dapagliflozin was superior to sitagliptin regarding several secondary endpoints that modulate cardiometabolic risk, namely reducing fasting plasma glucose, insulin, uric acid, increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and suppressing the increase in serum creatinine and the decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate. On the other hand, sitagliptin was superior to dapagliflozin in suppressing glucose variability. CONCLUSIONS:Compared to sitagliptin, dapagliflozin was significantly more effective at improving cardiometabolic risk factors, suggesting that SGLT2 inhibitors might be more suitable than DPP-4 inhibitors for preventing cardiovascular events in patients with early-stage but inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes.
