Neurological Manifestation of Incretin-Based Therapies in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: As a new class of antidiabetic drug, incretin-based therapies, which include dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4Is) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), have raised concerns about symptoms of withdrawal in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), such as dizziness and headache. To systematically evaluate whether incretin-based therapies may lead to dizziness and headache in patients with T2DM compared to other traditional antidiabetic drugs or placebo. We searched Medline, Embase, the Cochrane library, and clinicaltrials.gov from inception through June 23, 2017, to identify randomized controlled trials of the safety of DPP-4Is or GLP-1 RAs versus placebo or other antidiabetic drugs in T2DM patients. We used the network meta-analysis under the frequentist framework to compare the association between multiple antidiabetic drugs and dizziness and headache. A total of 233 clinical trials with nine treatments and 147,710 patients were included: two incretin-based therapies, one placebo, and six traditional antidiabetic drugs (metformin, insulin, sulfonylurea, thiazolidinediones, alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, and sodium-glucose co-transporter 2). Compared to insulin, thiazolidinediones, or placebo, GLP-1 RAs statistically significantly increased the risk of dizziness (odds ratios [ORs]: 1.92, 1.57, and 1.40, respectively) and headache (ORs: 1.34, 1.41, and 1.18, respectively). DPP-4Is increased the risk of headache (OR: 1.22, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02 to 1.46; moderate quality) and dizziness (OR: 1.46, 95% CI: 1.05 to 2.03; moderate quality) compared to insulin. Of the incretin-based therapies, DPP-4Is had a lower risk of dizziness than GLP-1 RAs (OR: 0.76, 95% CI: 0.67 to 0.87; high quality). Ranking probability analysis indicated that GLP-1 RAs may have the greatest risk of both dizziness and headache among the nine treatments (22.5% and 23.4%, respectively), whereas DPP-4Is were in the middle (46.2% and 45.0%, respectively). Incretin-based therapies increase the risk of dizziness and headache compared to insulin, thiazolidinediones, and placebo.

Project description:Objective To assess the impact of incretin based treatment on all cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes.Design Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised trials.Data sources Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and ClinicalTrials.gov.Eligibility criteria Randomised controlled trials that compared glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists or dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors with placebo or active anti-diabetic drugs in patients with type 2 diabetes.Data collection and analysis Paired reviewers independently screened citations, assessed risk of bias of included studies, and extracted data. Peto's method was used as the primary approach to pool effect estimates from trials, sensitivity analyses were carried out with other statistical approaches, and meta-regression was applied for six prespecified hypotheses to explore heterogeneity. The GRADE approach was used to rate the quality of evidence.Results 189 randomised controlled trials (n=155 145) were included, all of which were at low to moderate risk of bias; 77 reported no events of death and 112 reported 3888 deaths among 151 614 patients. Meta-analysis of 189 trials showed no difference in all cause mortality between incretin drugs versus control (1925/84 136 v 1963/67 478; odds ratio 0.96, 95% confidence interval 0.90 to 1.02, I2=0%; risk difference 3 fewer events (95% confidence interval 7 fewer to 1 more) per 1000 patients over five years; moderate quality evidence). Results suggested the possibility of a mortality benefit with GLP-1 agonists but not DPP-4 inhibitors, but the subgroup hypothesis had low credibility. Sensitivity analyses showed no important differences in the estimates of effects.Conclusions Current evidence does not support the suggestion that incretin based treatment increases all cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes. Further studies are warranted to examine if the effect differs between GLP-1 agonists versus DPP-4 inhibitors.

Project description:BackgroundInnovative GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA)-based treatment strategies-such as tirzepatide, GLP-1RA plus basal insulin fixed-ratio combinations [FRC], GLP-1RA plus sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors [SGLT-2i] combinations, and high-dose GLP-1RA-have been listed among the most efficacious options for type 2 diabetes management. However, differences in their glucometabolic effects have not been assessed in dedicated head-to-head trials. In the absence of such trials, we aimed to provide a useful comparison among these treatment strategies to guide clinical practice.MethodsIn this network meta-analysis, we searched PubMed, MEDLINE, and Web of Science (from database inception to June 24, 2023) for randomised controlled studies, published in English, that enrolled individuals with type 2 diabetes treated with tirzepatide, iGlarLixi, iDegLira, GLP-1RA plus SGLT-2i combination, or high-dose GLP-1RA (dulaglutide 3 mg and 4.5 mg, semaglutide 2 mg) compared with placebo or active comparators. Eligible studies reported change from baseline in HbA1c as an outcome, which was the primary outcome of this analysis. Secondary outcomes were changes in fasting and post-prandial glucose, bodyweight, LDL-cholesterol, blood pressure and risk of hypoglycaemia. We assessed risk of bias through the Cochrane Collaboration's tool (RoB2 tool), publication bias through visual inspection of funnel plots and Egger's test, and heterogeneity by comparing the magnitude of the common between-study variance (τ2) for each outcome with empirical distributions of heterogeneity variances. This network meta-analysis was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022329878).Findings40 trials were included. Tirzepatide 15 mg ranked first in terms of HbA1c reduction compared to other GLP-1RA-based strategies, even those including insulin (vs. iDegLira MD -0.40%, 95% CI [-0.66; -0.14], low certainty; vs. iGlarLixi MD -0.48%, 95% CI [-0.75; -0.21], low certainty), without increasing the risk of hypoglycaemia (vs. iDegLira OR 0.35, 95% CI [0.16; 0.79], high certainty; vs. iGlarLixi OR 0.31, 95% CI [0.20; 0.48], high certainty). Tirzepatide 15 mg was also the most efficacious on weight lowering, even compared to high-dose GLP-1RA (eg, semaglutide 2 mg MD -6.56 kg, 95% CI [-7.38; -5.73], low certainty) and GLP-1RA plus SGLT-2i combination (MD -4.61 kg, 95% CI [-5.29; -3.93], low certainty). Risk of bias and publication bias were generally low throughout studies, while high levels of heterogeneity were detected for most outcomes.InterpretationAiming to support clinicians in tailoring treatment to patients' needs, we suggest that a hierarchy among treatment strategies be devised considering the best options for type 2 diabetes. Tirzepatide, followed by GLP-1RA plus basal insulin FRC and GLP-1RA plus SGLT-2i combination, was associated with greater benefit on HbA1c than high-dose GLP-1RA.FundingFondazione per la Ricerca Biomedica "Saverio e Isabella Cianciola" and Next Generation EU, in the context of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, Investment PE8-Project Age-It: Ageing Well in an Ageing Society.
