Eligibility of patients with type 2 diabetes for sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor cardiovascular outcomes trials: a global perspective from the DISCOVER study.

ABSTRACT: Objective:To assess the eligibility of patients participating in DISCOVER (a 3-year, prospective, observational study program of 15 992 patients with type 2 diabetes [T2D] initiating a second-line glucose-lowering therapy across 38 countries) for four cardiovascular outcomes trials (CVOTs) of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (CANagliflozin cardioVascular Assessment Study [CANVAS], Dapagliflozin effect on CardiovascuLAR Events trial [DECLARE-TIMI 58], EMPAgliflozin cardiovascular OUTCOME event trial [EMPA-REG OUTCOME], and eValuation of ERTugliflozin effIcacy and Safety CardioVascular outcomes trial [VERTIS-CV]). Research design and methods:In this cross-sectional analysis, baseline characteristics of DISCOVER patients were compared with the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the CVOTs to assess patient eligibility, overall and in four regions (Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa). Results:Overall, 11 385 patients (71.2%) had sufficient data for the analysis; 56.1% were men. The mean age and time since T2D diagnosis were 57.4 and 5.6 years, respectively. The mean glycated hemoglobin level was 8.3%. DISCOVER patients were younger, and fewer had a history of cardiovascular disease, than those enrolled in the CVOTs. Eligibility varied across the CVOTs; the proportion of eligible DISCOVER patients was highest for DECLARE-TIMI 58 (40.5%), followed by CANVAS (19.9%), VERTIS-CV (7.2%), and EMPA-REG OUTCOME (7.1%); 54.6% of patients were not eligible for any CVOT. Eligibility for each CVOT varied across regions, which was explained by the differing proportions of patients with established cardiovascular disease. Conclusions:In a large, international population of patients with T2D initiating a second-line glucose-lowering therapy, DECLARE-TIMI 58 was the most inclusive CVOT, suggesting that its study population will be more representative of patients encountered in routine clinical practice than those of CANVAS, EMPA-REG OUTCOME, and VERTIS-CV.

Project description:BackgroundThe clinical benefit of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors for preventing and treating cardiovascular events remains controversial. We aimed to study the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on cardiovascular outcomes and safety events, giving particular attention to the benefits in subgroups of patients with different diseases.MethodRandomized controlled trials (RCTs) reporting cardiovascular outcomes following the administration of SGLT2 inhibitors and placebo were included in this study. Cardiovascular outcomes included all-cause death, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), cardiovascular (CV) death, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and hospitalization for heart failure (HHF). We also focused on the cardiovascular benefits of SGLT2 inhibitor application in subgroups of patients with different diseases, including type 2 diabetes (T2D), heart failure (HF), high risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACD), diagnosed ACD, and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Safety events associated with SGLT2 inhibitors, including acute kidney injury (AKI), diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), hypoglycemia, urinary tract infection, thromboembolic event, bone fracture, volume depletion, and amputation, were also reported.ResultsThis meta-analysis included 15 RCTs with 78,212 participants. SGLT2 inhibitors reduced the risk of all-cause death (RR 0.89; 95% CI: 0.85-0.94; I2 = 32%; p < 0.01), CV death (RR 0.87; 95% CI: 0.82-0.93; I2 = 11%; p < 0.01), MACEs (RR 0.89; 95% CI: 0.84-0.94; I2 = 46%; p < 0.01), HHF (RR 0.70; 95% CI: 0.66-0.74; I2 = 0%; p < 0.01), and AKI (RR 0.81; 95% CI: 0.73-0.90; I2 = 0%; p < 0.01) but increased the risk of DKA (RR 2.56; 95% CI: 1.72-3.80; I2 = 0%; p < 0.01). However, no apparent benefit in MI and stroke was observed between the SGLT2 inhibitor and control groups. SGLT2 inhibitors reduced the risk of all-cause death, MACEs, CV death, and HHF in diabetic patients; reduced the risk of all-cause death, MACEs, CV death, MI, and HHF in primary prevention; reduced the risk of all-cause death, CV death, and HHF in patients with ACD and HF; and reduced the risk of MACEs, CV death, and HHF in patients with CKD.ConclusionSGLT2 inhibitors have a positive effect in reducing the risk of all-cause death, CV death, MACE, HHF, and AKI and increasing the risk of DKA. The application of SGLT2 inhibitors in the primary prevention of ACD also has certain clinical benefits in reducing MI.Systematic review registration[https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/], identifier [CRD42022306490].
