Efficacy and hypoglycemic risk of sitagliptin in obese/overweight patients with type 2 diabetes compared with GLP-1 receptor agonists: A meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and hypoglycemic risk of sitagliptin versus that of GLP-1 receptor agonists in the management of obese/overweight patients with T2DM.

Methods

EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched; randomized controlled trials comparing the efficacy of sitagliptin versus that of GLP-1 receptor agonists in obese/overweight patients with T2DM were included. The mean BMI of participants for each study was ?30?kg/m. We conducted a meta-analysis according to the methods specified in the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. RevMan 5.1 software was used to perform the meta-analysis. The Cochrane Q test and I statistics were used to estimate the heterogeneity among studies. The results are expressed as the mean difference (MD) or risk ratio (RR) with 95% confidence intervals.

Results

A total of 8 eligible studies were included in our meta-analysis. Compared with GLP-1 receptor agonists, sitagliptin was less effective at reducing HbA1c (0.42 [0.27, 0.56]), FPG (0.78 [0.36, 1.19]), PPG (2.61 [1.35, 3.87]), and body weight (1.42 [0.71, 2.14]). Conversely, there were no significant differences in SBP reduction (0.38 [-1.14, 1.89]), DBP reduction (-0.30 [-1.00, 0.39]), and hypoglycemic risk (1.09 [0.50, 2.35]).

Conclusion

For obese/overweight patients, sitagliptin may exert a less potent effect on HbA1C, FPG, PPG, and weight reduction than GLP-1 receptor agonists, but these drugs had a similar efficacy in reducing blood pressure; furthermore, there was no significant difference in hypoglycemic risk.

Project description:ObjectivesBoth glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and metformin (MET) have markedly antiobesity effects in overweight/obese polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients. However, there was no literature to compare the antiobesity effects of these two medicines. Therefore, a systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted in our present study to evaluate the antiobesity effects of GLP-1RAs either as monotherapy or combined with MET in comparison with MET alone in overweight/obese PCOS patients.MethodsAll randomized controlled trials (RCTs) which reported the efficacy of GLP-1RAs and MET in overweight/obese PCOS patients in Medline (from Pubmed), Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were independently searched by two reviewers. The random-effect model was used to pool data extracted from the included literature. The weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to present the meta-analysis results (PROSPERO registration number: CRD42020173199).ResultsA total of eight eligible RCTs were finally enrolled in our meta-analysis from the 587 retrieved literature. The results showed that GLP-1RAs alone or combined with MET was associated with a greater weight loss (N = 318, WMD = -2.61, 95% CI: -3.51 to -1.72, P ≤ 0.001, I 2 = 77.5%), more obvious reduction of waist circumference (N = 276, WMD = -3.46, 95% CI: -4.36 to -2.56, P ≤ 0.001, I 2 = 0.0%), and body mass index (BMI) (N = 318, WMD = -0.93, 95% CI: -1.60 to -0.26, P=0.007, I 2 = 84.9%) in overweight/obese PCOS patients when compared with MET alone. Further sensitivity analysis demonstrated that the meta-analysis results of the efficacy differences in terms of body weight, waist circumference, and BMI were relatively stable and reliable.ConclusionOur meta-analysis demonstrated that the antiobesity effect of GLP-1RAs alone or combined with MET was superior to MET alone in terms of weight loss, the reduction of waist circumference, and BMI. More large-scale, high-quality RCTs are needed to further confirm these results in PCOS patients.

Project description:Background and Objectives: Limited evidence exists regarding the safety and efficacy of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) or end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Thus, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the safety and efficacy of GLP-1RAs in T2DM patients with advanced CKD and ESKD. Materials and Methods: We performed a systematic literature search in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane database until 25 October 2023. Included were clinical trials and cohort studies reporting outcomes of GLP-1RAs in adult patients with T2DM and advanced CKD. Outcome measures encompassed mortality, cardiovascular parameters, blood glucose, and weight. Safety was assessed for adverse events. The differences in effects were expressed as odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for dichotomous outcomes and the weighted mean difference or standardized mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence intervals for continuous outcomes. The Risk of Bias In Non-randomized Studies-of Interventions (ROBIN-I) tool was used in cohort and non-randomized controlled studies, and the Cochrane Risk of Bias (RoB 2) tool was used in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The review protocol was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD 42023398452) and received no external funding. Results: Eight studies (five trials and three cohort studies) consisting of 27,639 patients were included in this meta-analysis. No difference was observed in one-year mortality. However, GLP-1RAs significantly reduced cardiothoracic ratio (SMD of -1.2%; 95% CI -2.0, -0.4) and pro-BNP (SMD -335.9 pmol/L; 95% CI -438.9, -232.8). There was no significant decrease in systolic blood pressure. Moreover, GLP-1RAs significantly reduced mean blood glucose (SMD -1.1 mg/dL; 95% CI -1.8, -0.3) and increased weight loss (SMD -2.2 kg; 95% CI -2.9, -1.5). In terms of safety, GLP-1RAs were associated with a 3.8- and 35.7-time higher risk of nausea and vomiting, respectively, but were not significantly associated with a higher risk of hypoglycemia. Conclusions: Despite the limited number of studies in each analysis, our study provides evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of GLP-1RAs among T2DM patients with advanced CKD and ESKD. While gastrointestinal side effects may occur, GLP-1RAs demonstrate significant improvements in blood glucose control, weight reduction, and potential benefit in cardiovascular outcomes.

Project description:The prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing and there is an urgent need for new treatment strategy to prevent progression of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis. We have performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) in the treatment of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in patients with T2DM and NAFLD. The PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases were searched for articles that met the eligibility criteria to explore the efficacy and safety of GLP-1RAs in patients with T2DM and NAFLD. We assessed pooled data using a random/fixed-effects model according to the I2 and p-values. Eight trials that included a total of 468 participants were eligible for inclusion in the review. For primary outcomes, administration of GLP-1RAs significantly decreased the content of intrahepatic adipose (IHA)[p=0.007, weight mean difference (WMD) -3.01, 95% confidence interval (CI) -4.75, -1.28], subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) (p<0.00001,WMD -28.53,95%CI -68.09,-26.31), and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) (p<0.0001,WMD -29.05,95%CI -42.90,-15.9). For secondary outcomes, GLP-1RAs produced a significant decrease in levels of alanine aminotransferase(ALT)(p=0.02, WMD -3.82, 95%CI -7.04, -0.60), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (p=0.03, WMD -2.4, 95%CI -4.55,-0.25, I2 = 49%), body weight (p<0.00001,WMD -3.48,95%CI -4.58,-2.37), body mass index (p<0.00001,WMD -1.07,95%CI -1.35,-0.78), circumference waist (p=0.0002,WMD -3.87, 95%CI -5.88, -1.86) fasting blood glucose (p=0.02, WMD -0.35, 95%CI -0.06, -0.05), HbA1c (p<0.00001,WMD -0.39,95%CI -0.56,-0.22), HoMA-IR(p=0.005, WMD-1.51, 95%CI-0.87,-0.16), total cholesterol (p=0.0008, WMD -0.31, 95%CI -0.48, 0.13) and triglycerides (p=0.0008, WMD -0.27, 95%CI -0.43,-0.11) in comparison with the control regimens. The main adverse events associated with GLP-1RAs included mild-to-moderate gastrointestinal discomfort and nonsense hypoglycemia that resolved within a few weeks. GLP-1RAs were an effective treatment that improved intrahepatic visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue, inflammatory markers, the anthropometric profiles and some metabolic indices in patients with T2DM and NAFLD, GLP-1RAs could be considered for use in these if there are no contraindications. Further studies are needed to understand the direct and indirect effects of GLP-1RAs on NAFLD and the potential mechanism via which they prevent its progression.
