Variability in and predictors of glycaemic responses after 24 weeks of treatment with exenatide twice daily and exenatide once weekly.

ABSTRACT: The range of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) responses and characteristics associated with above-average response to exenatide twice daily and once weekly were examined. Data were pooled from 8 exenatide-twice-daily and 5 exenatide-once-weekly studies. A baseline HbA1c-corrected measure of change in HbA1c after 24 weeks identified high, average and low responses. Multiple linear regression and multivariate generalized estimating equation models identified factors associated with high response. Among 2355 participants (exenatide twice daily, n = 1414; exenatide once weekly, n = 941), baseline HbA1c correlated with change in HbA1c (P < .0001). Across baseline HbA1c levels, the 25th to 75th percentile of HbA1c change ranged from -0.3% to -3.2% with exenatide twice daily and from -0.5% to -3.6% with exenatide once weekly. Asian ethnicity and older age were significantly associated with high response to exenatide twice daily; no factors were significantly associated with response to exenatide once weekly. These data provide clinically useful information for estimating the likelihood that, depending on baseline HbA1c, an individual can achieve HbA1c goals. The association between Asian ethnicity, age and high response to exenatide twice daily may relate to the specific effects of exenatide twice daily on postprandial glucose.

Project description:Cyslipidemia and type 2 diabetes are two of the most significant risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease. Measurement of lipoprotein subclasses provides important information about derangements in lipid metabolism and helps refine cardiovascular risk assessment. Exenatide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist, improved glycemic control, obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia in patients with type 2 diabetes in clinical trials.In the DURATION-1 trial, patients with type 2 diabetes were treated with exenatide once weekly or twice daily for 30 weeks. This post hoc analysis evaluated the impact of exenatide on lipoprotein subclasses in 211 DURATION-1 patients using vertical auto profile methodology and the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences general linear model adjusted for glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA(1c)) and weight.Baseline lipids and high sensitivity C-reactive protein were normal overall based on the standard lipid panel. Once-weekly exenatide reduced apolipoprotein B and the apolipoprotein B to apolipoprotein A1 ratio (P < 0.05), independent of glycemic improvement and weight loss. A significant shift in lipoprotein pattern away from small, dense low-density lipoprotein-4 cholesterol was also observed (P < 0.05). Exenatide once weekly increased high-density lipoprotein-2 cholesterol, even after adjustment for changes in HbA(1c) and weight (P < 0.05). Triglycerides, very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high sensitivity C-reactive protein were reduced with both the once-weekly and twice-daily exenatide regimens (P < 0.05).In this post hoc analysis, exenatide significantly improved a number of cardiovascular risk markers. Continuous exenatide exposure with exenatide once weekly elicited a greater response than did immediate-release exenatide twice daily, generally independent of glycemic improvement and weight loss. Thus, in addition to improving glycemic control, exenatide induced favorable changes in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism and decreased systemic inflammation.

Project description:AIM:To assess the effects of once-weekly exenatide on 24-hour glucose control and variability. MATERIALS AND METHODS:This double-blind, placebo-controlled trial randomized metformin-treated adults with type 2 diabetes to once-weekly exenatide 2.0 mg or placebo. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) was performed at baseline and weeks 4 and 10. The primary outcome was change in CGM-measured 24-hour mean glucose level. RESULTS:In the once-weekly exenatide (n = 60) and placebo (n = 56) groups (modified intention-to-treat population), the baseline glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) concentrations were 8.2% and 8.0%, respectively, and the fasting plasma glucose (FPG) concentration was 9.86 and 9.32 mmol/L, respectively. Once-weekly exenatide significantly (p < 0.001) reduced 24-hour mean glucose level versus placebo (week 4, -1.44 vs -0.29 mmol/L; week 10, -1.71 vs -0.17 mmol/L), with consistent control throughout the week. Once-weekly exenatide significantly reduced FPG and 2-hour postprandial glucose (PPG) levels versus placebo at week 4 (FPG, -1.65 vs -0.11 mmol/L; PPG, -1.79 vs -0.11 mmol/L) and week 10 (FPG, -2.32 vs -0.28 mmol/L; PPG, -2.46 vs -0.33 mmol/L). At week 10, once-weekly exenatide reduced the mean amplitude of glucose excursions (MAGE; -0.84 vs 0.16 mmol/L) and standard deviation (s.d.) of mean glucose (-0.35 vs 0.04 mmol/L). By week 10, once-weekly exenatide-treated participants spent more time in euglycaemia (once-weekly exenatide, 77% vs placebo, 58%), less time in hyperglycaemia (22% vs 42%), and a similar time in hypoglycaemia (0.7% vs 0.3%). Common adverse events were injection-site nodule (once-weekly exenatide, 10.0% vs placebo, 0.0%), urinary tract infection (6.7% vs 8.9%) and nausea (6.7% vs 0.0%). CONCLUSIONS:In metformin-treated participants with type 2 diabetes, once-weekly exenatide significantly improved daily glucose control and reduced glycaemic variability at weeks 4 and 10, as shown by reductions in 24-hour glucose, FPG and PPG levels, MAGE and s.d., and increased time spent in euglycaemia.

Project description:Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is often associated with cardiovascular (CV) risk factors such as obesity, hypertension and dyslipidemia. The objective of this analysis was to evaluate potential effects of exenatide once weekly (ExQW), a GLP-1 receptor agonist, on glycaemic control and CV risk factors.This analysis included 675 Intent-to-Treat patients with T2DM [baseline (mean ± SD) HbA1c, 8.1?±?1.2%; fasting blood glucose (FBG), 166?±?48 mg/dl; weight, 94.3?±?19.4 kg; systolic/diastolic blood pressure (SBP/DBP), 129?±?15/78 ± 9 mm?Hg; total cholesterol, 178.5?±?41.9 mg/dl; low-density lipoprotein (LDL), 100.1?±?35.0 mg/dl; high-density lipoprotein (HDL), 44.5?±?11.6 mg/dl; triglycerides, 155.6?±?3.3 mg/dl; alanine aminotransferase (ALT), 32.1?±?19.5 U/l] treated with diet and exercise alone or in combination with metformin, sulfonylurea, and/or thiazolidinedione who received 52 weeks of ExQW in four clinical trials.At 52 weeks, ExQW significantly improved HbA1c [mean (SE) change from baseline, -1.3 (0.05)%], FBG [-36.3 (2.02) mg/dl], body weight [-2.6 (0.19) kg], SBP/DBP [-3.6 (0.56) mm?Hg/-1.2 (0.34) mm?Hg], total cholesterol, -4.4 (1.33) mg/dl; LDL, -2.6 (1.08) mg/dl; HDL, 1.1 (0.31) mg/dl; triglycerides, -7 (1.6)%], and ALT [-4.3 (0.71) IU/l] concentrations, with greater improvements in patients with elevated analyte levels at baseline. Improvements were observed across a range of background antihyperglycaemia therapies. Of patients completing 52 weeks, 19% achieved the composite American Diabetes Association goal (HbA1c < 7.0%, BP < 130/80 mm?Hg, LDL?<?100 mg/dl), compared to 1% at baseline. Nearly half (48%) achieved HbA1c < 7.0% without weight gain or major/minor hypoglycaemia. Nausea was the most frequent adverse event and was predominantly mild. Hypoglycaemia was infrequent, and more common with a sulfonylurea.With 52 weeks of ExQW, patients experienced sustained improvements in glycaemic control and CV risk factors, with an increased likelihood of achieving both a clinically relevant composite outcome (HbA1c?<?7% without weight gain or increased risk of hypoglycaemia) and a composite of key therapeutic goals (HbA1c?<?7%, BP < 130/80 mm?Hg, LDL?<?100 mg/dl).

Project description:Anaemia is a common complication of chronic kidney disease and prevalence increases with declining renal function. Renal anaemia has significant implications for the well-being and quality of life of patients and impacts on morbidity and mortality. Anaemia can be well managed by therapy with erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs). Previous clinical trials have shown that the only human cell-line-derived ESA, epoetin delta, is well tolerated and effective in maintaining haemoglobin levels in anaemic patients with chronic kidney disease. The half-life of epoetin delta suggests that administration of this agent is feasible once weekly and once every two weeks. We report on the design and rationale of a trial to compare once weekly vs. twice weekly, and once weekly vs. once every two weeks dosing of epoetin delta.This is a randomized, open-label, multicentre trial. Patients aged 18 years or above with chronic kidney disease (Stages 3-5) are eligible to enter this trial. Two groups of patients form the trial population, those naïve to ESA therapy and those previously stable on ESA therapy. There are two primary objectives of this trial: 1) to demonstrate non-inferiority between twice weekly and once weekly dosing of epoetin delta in previously naïve patients (assessed by haemoglobin at Week 24); 2) to demonstrate non-inferiority between once weekly and once every two weeks dosing in previously stable patients (assessed by average haemoglobin over Weeks 16-24). Among the secondary analyses will be assessments of haematocrit, number(%) of patients meeting predefined targets for haemoglobin and haematocrit levels, and comparisons of average dose. All patients will receive study medication for 24 weeks and dose will be adjusted according to a predefined algorithm to achieve and maintain haemoglobin >or= 11 g/dL. All patients completing this trial are eligible to enter a 2-year follow-up study to enable monitoring of emergent adverse events, anti-erythropoietin antibody responses, maintenance of efficacy and changes in diabetic retinopathy status.To our knowledge, this trial is the first to randomize ESA-naïve patients to different dosing regimens of the same ESA. Data generated will help in guiding the most appropriate dosing frequency for epoetin delta, particularly in those patients new to epoetin delta therapy.ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT00450333.
