Effects of canagliflozin on body weight and relationship to HbA1c and blood pressure changes in patients with type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT: Canagliflozin, a sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor, reduces HbA1c, body weight and systolic BP (SBP) in patients with type 2 diabetes. As weight loss is known to reduce both HbA1c and SBP, these analyses were performed to evaluate the contribution of weight loss resulting from treatment with canagliflozin to HbA1c and SBP reductions in patients with type 2 diabetes.Pooled data from four placebo-controlled Phase 3 studies (N?=?2,250) in patients with type 2 diabetes were used in the analyses. In each study, patients were treated with placebo, canagliflozin 100 mg or canagliflozin 300 mg, once daily for 26 weeks. Changes from baseline in body weight, HbA1c and SBP were measured at week 26, and the contribution of weight loss to the lowering of HbA1c and SBP was obtained using ANCOVA.Canagliflozin 100 and 300 mg reduced mean body weight, HbA1c and SBP compared with placebo (p?0%, ?5% and ?10% with canagliflozin treatment than with placebo. Weight-loss-independent and weight-loss-associated mechanisms contributed to HbA1c and SBP lowering with canagliflozin: ~85% of HbA1c lowering and ~60% of SBP lowering was independent of weight loss.In patients with type 2 diabetes, canagliflozin provided clinically meaningful body-weight reductions, and the weight loss contributed to reductions in HbA1c and SBP.

Project description:BackgroundIndividual health education is considered to be essential in the overall care of patients with type 2 diabetes (DM2), although there is some uncertainty regarding its metabolic control benefits. There have been very few randomized studies on the effects of individual education on normal care in DM2 patients with a control group, and none of these have assessed the long-term results. Therefore, this study aims to use this design to assess the effectiveness of the PRECEDE (Predisposing, Reinforcing, Enabling, Causes in Educational Diagnosis, and Evaluation) education model in the metabolic control and the reduction of cardiovascular risk factors, in patients with type 2 diabetes.MethodsAn open community effectiveness study was carried out in 8 urban community health centers in the North-East Madrid Urban Area (Spain). Six hundred patients with DM2 were randomized in two groups: PRECEDE or conventional model for health promotion education. The main outcome measures were glycated hemoglobin A1c, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, lipids and control criteria during the 2-year follow-up period.ResultsGlycated hemoglobin A1c and systolic blood pressure (SBP) levels decreased significantly in the PRECEDE group (multivariate analysis of covariance, with baseline glycated hemoglobin A1c, SBP, and variables showing statistically significant differences between groups at baseline visits). The decrease levels in diastolic blood pressure (DBP), triglycerides and LDL cholesterol were nonsignificant. PRECEDE increased compliance in all control criteria, except for LDL cholesterol. BMI did not change during the study in either of the two models analyzed.ConclusionsPRECEDE health education model is a useful method in the overall treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes, which contributes to decrease glycated hemoglobin A1c and SBP levels and increase the compliance in all the control criteria, except for LDL cholesterol.Trial registration numberClinicalTrials.gov NCT01316367.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Dapagliflozin is an orally active inhibitor of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) that is indicated for use in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) (with a body mass index (BMI) of at least 27 kg/m2 in Europe, no such BMI limit in Japan), when insulin alone does not provide adequate glycaemic control. The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), body weight and insulin dose following discontinuation of dapagliflozin for the management of T1DM in the DEPICT clinical trial programme. METHODS:The interrelationship between treatment discontinuation, insulin requirement and outcomes post-discontinuation was evaluated using descriptive summary statistics and linear regression modelling. Data were analysed from individuals with T1DM discontinuing dapagliflozin in DEPICT-1 or DEPICT-2 (unplanned or end of study). HbA1c and body weight were measured over the 56-week study period (consisting of a 52-week treatment period and a 4-week follow-up period) at 4-8 weekly intervals. Following discontinuation of dapagliflozin, 1-year change in HbA1c (%) and weight (kg) following discontinuation of dapagliflozin was estimated; total daily insulin doses were descriptively summarised. RESULTS:Of the 1059 individuals that received dapagliflozin during the DEPICT trials 91 met the eligibility criteria and were included in the analyses of HbA1c and body weight. The mean duration of follow-up was 209 days in both analyses. Following dapagliflozin discontinuation, estimated annualised changes in HbA1c and body weight were + 0.99% (95% CI 0.39, 1.59) and + 3.75 kg (1.65, 5.86), respectively. An increase in insulin dose was observed around the time of discontinuation; insulin dose in the 2-week post-discontinuation was + 3.6 IU and + 4.4 IU higher with dapagliflozin 5 mg and 10 mg than 2 weeks pre-discontinuation, respectively. CONCLUSION:Discontinuation of dapagliflozin is predicted to lead to clinically meaningful increases in HbA1c and body weight, in addition to higher insulin doses. These findings are important in the management of people with T1DM among whom insulin is the only existing pharmacological treatment option.

Project description:IntroductionThe present study aimed to describe characteristics of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in UK primary care initiated on dapagliflozin, post-dapagliflozin changes in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), body weight and blood pressure, and reasons for adding dapagliflozin to insulin.MethodsRetrospective study of patients with T2D in the Clinical Practice Research Datalink with first prescription for dapagliflozin. Patients were included in the study if they: (1) had a first prescription for dapagliflozin between November 2012 and September 2014; (2) had a Read code for T2D; (3) were registered with a practice for at least 6 months before starting dapagliflozin; and (4) remained registered for at least 3 months after initiation. A questionnaire ascertained reason(s) for adding dapagliflozin to insulin.ResultsDapagliflozin was most often used as triple therapy (27.7%), dual therapy with metformin (25.1%) or added to insulin (19.2%). Median therapy duration was 329 days [95% confidence interval (CI) 302-361]. Poor glycemic control was the reason for dapagliflozin initiation for 93.1% of insulin-treated patients. Avoiding increases in weight/body mass index and insulin resistance were the commonest reasons for selecting dapagliflozin versus intensifying insulin. HbA1c declined by mean of 9.7 mmol/mol (95% CI 8.5-10.9) (0.89%) 14-90 days after starting dapagliflozin, 10.2 mmol/mol (95% CI 8.9-11.5) (0.93%) after 91-180 days and 12.6 mmol/mol (95% CI 11.0-14.3) (1.16%) beyond 180 days. Weight declined by mean of 2.6 kg (95% CI 2.3-2.9) after 14-90 days, 4.3 kg (95% CI 3.8-4.7) after 91-180 days and 4.6 kg (95% CI 4.0-5.2) beyond 180 days. In patients with measurements between 14 and 90 days after starting dapagliflozin, systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased by means of 4.5 (95% CI -5.8 to -3.2) and 2.0 (95% CI -2.9 to -1.2) mmHg, respectively from baseline. Similar reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure were observed after 91-180 days and when follow-up extended beyond 180 days. Results were consistent across subgroups.ConclusionHbA1c, body weight and blood pressure were reduced after initiation of dapagliflozin in patients with T2D in UK primary care and the changes were consistent with randomized clinical trials.FundingAstraZeneca.

Project description:BackgroundPatients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) treated with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists may experience reductions in weight and blood pressure. The primary objective of the current study was to determine the weight-dependent and weight-independent effects of ~ 6 months treatment with dulaglutide 1.5 mg treatment in participants with T2D.MethodsMediation analysis was conducted for five randomized, placebo-controlled trials of dulaglutide 1.5 mg to estimate the weight-dependent (i.e., mediated by weight) and weight-independent effects from dulaglutide vs. placebo on change from baseline for systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and pulse pressure. A random-effects meta-analysis combined these results. To investigate a dose response between dulaglutide 4.5 mg and placebo, mediation analysis was first conducted in AWARD-11 to estimate the weight-dependent and weight-independent effects of dulaglutide 4.5 mg vs. 1.5 mg, followed by an indirect comparison with the mediation result for dulaglutide 1.5 mg vs. placebo.ResultsBaseline characteristics were largely similar across the trials. In the mediation meta-analysis of placebo-controlled trials, the total treatment effect of dulaglutide 1.5 mg after placebo-adjustment on SBP was - 2.6 mmHg (95% CI - 3.8, - 1.5; p < 0.001) and was attributed to both a weight-dependent effect (- 0.9 mmHg; 95% CI: - 1.4, - 0.5; p < 0.001) and a weight-independent effect (- 1.5 mmHg; 95% CI: - 2.6, - 0.3; p = 0.01), accounting for 36% and 64% of the total effect, respectively. For pulse pressure, the total treatment effect of dulaglutide (- 2.5 mmHg; 95% CI: - 3.5, - 1.5; p < 0.001) was 14% weight-dependent and 86% weight-independent. For DBP there was limited impact of dulaglutide treatment, with only a small weight-mediated effect. Dulaglutide 4.5 mg demonstrated an effect on reduction in SBP and pulse pressure beyond that of dulaglutide 1.5 mg which was primarily weight mediated.ConclusionsDulaglutide 1.5 mg reduced SBP and pulse pressure in people with T2D across the placebo-controlled trials in the AWARD program. While up to one third of the effect of dulaglutide 1.5 mg on SBP and pulse pressure was due to weight reduction, the majority was independent of weight. A greater understanding of the pleotropic effects of GLP-1 RA that contribute to reduction in blood pressure could support developing future approaches for treating hypertension.
