Efficacy and safety of ertugliflozin in East/Southeast Asian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT: AIM:Post-hoc analysis of the efficacy and safety of ertugliflozin in East/Southeast (E/SE) Asian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MATERIALS AND METHODS:Efficacy evaluations used data from randomized, double-blind, phase 3 studies: a pool of two 26-week placebo-controlled studies and one 52-week active-comparator (glimepiride) study. Least squares mean change from baseline was calculated for HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), body weight (BW) and systolic blood pressure (SBP). Safety evaluation included overall and prespecified adverse events based on pooled data (broad pool) from seven phase 3 studies (including studies in the efficacy analysis). RESULTS:Among 161 E/SE Asian patients in the placebo pool (ertugliflozin, n?=?106), ertugliflozin reduced HbA1c, FPG, BW and SBP from baseline at week 26. The placebo-adjusted changes from baseline for ertugliflozin 5 and 15?mg were: HbA1c, -0.9% and?-1.0%; BW, -2.1 and?-1.9?kg; and SBP, -3.3 and?-3.5?mmHg, respectively. Among 174 E/SE Asian patients in the active-comparator study (ertugliflozin, n?=?118), HbA1c changes from baseline at week 52 were?-0.6%, -0.6% and?-0.7% for ertugliflozin 5?mg, 15?mg and glimepiride, respectively. Ertugliflozin 5 and 15?mg reduced BW from baseline by -4.3 and?-4.1?kg, respectively, and SBP by -7.4 and?-9.3?mmHg, respectively, compared with glimepiride. Safety findings were generally consistent with overall ertugliflozin safety data published to date. CONCLUSIONS:Treatment with ertugliflozin was associated with reductions in HbA1c, FPG, BW and SBP, and was generally well tolerated in E/SE Asian patients with T2DM.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:The sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor ertugliflozin is approved for the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This analysis was conducted on safety data pooled from phase 3 studies using ertugliflozin 5 mg or 15 mg versus placebo or an active comparator. METHODS:The placebo pool (n = 1544) comprised data from three similarly designed 26-week placebo-controlled studies. The broad pool (n = 4849) comprised these three placebo-controlled studies plus four placebo- or active-controlled studies with treatment durations of up to 104 weeks. RESULTS:In the placebo pool, there were no notable differences across groups in the incidence of adverse events (AEs), serious AEs, or AEs resulting in discontinuation from study medication, while associations were observed with genital mycotic infection in both females (3.0%, 9.1%, and 12.2% in the placebo, ertugliflozin 5 mg, and ertugliflozin 15 mg groups, respectively) and males (0.4%, 3.7%, 4.2%), thirst (0.2%, 1.3%, 1.0%), and increased urination (1.0%, 2.7%, 2.4%). In the broad pool, volume depletion was increased with ertugliflozin in patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2, aged ≥ 65 years, or who were taking diuretics. Ertugliflozin was not associated with increased urinary tract infection, fracture, hypoglycemia, pancreatitis, renal or hepatic injury, hypersensitivity, malignancy, or venous thromboembolism. Small numbers of patients were reported with lower limb amputation [0.1% (non-ertugliflozin group), 0.2% (ertugliflozin 5 mg), 0.5% (ertugliflozin 15 mg)]. There were three cases of ketoacidosis (all ertugliflozin 15 mg) and no cases of Fournier's gangrene. CONCLUSION:This pooled analysis showed that ertugliflozin was generally well tolerated in a large population of patients with T2DM with and without moderate renal impairment who were taking a range of background diabetes medications including insulin and insulin secretagogs, with results that are generally consistent with those for other SGLT2 inhibitors.

Project description:IntroductionSulfonylureas (SU) are commonly used antihyperglycemic agents. VERTIS CV was the cardiovascular outcome study for the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor ertugliflozin. Enrollment of patients in VERTIS CV occurred in two sequential cohorts (Cohort 1 and Cohort 2).MethodsThis substudy assessed the efficacy and safety of adding ertugliflozin to SU monotherapy. The primary endpoint was the change in HbA1c from baseline at 18 weeks.ResultsAmong the 8246 patients who were randomized in VERTIS CV, 157 patients in Cohort 1 and 135 patients in Cohort 2 were on SU monotherapy at baseline. In the prespecified analysis (Cohort 1 only), the least squares (LS) mean HbA1c change from baseline for placebo, ertugliflozin 5 mg, and ertugliflozin 15 mg was - 0.56%, - 0.91%, and - 0.78%, respectively (placebo-adjusted LS mean [95% CI] change: - 0.35% [- 0.72%, 0.02%]; - 0.22% [- 0.60%, 0.16%] for ertugliflozin 5 and 15 mg, respectively; p > 0.05 for both). In a post-hoc analysis that included Cohorts 1 and 2 (N = 292), the LS mean HbA1c change from baseline at week 18 for placebo, ertugliflozin 5 mg, and ertugliflozin 15 mg was - 0.31%, - 0.77%, and - 0.68%, respectively (placebo-adjusted change: - 0.46% [- 0.73%, - 0.18%]; - 0.37% [- 0.66%, - 0.09%]; p = 0.001 and 0.01 for ertugliflozin 5 and 15 mg, respectively). In Cohort 1, adverse events were reported in 45.8%, 47.3%, and 25.9% of patients with placebo, ertugliflozin 5 mg, and ertugliflozin 15 mg. The incidence rates of symptomatic hypoglycemia were 0.0%, 5.5%, and 3.7%, respectively, with no cases of severe hypoglycemia. The safety profile was similar for Cohorts 1 and 2 combined.ConclusionThe addition of ertugliflozin to SU monotherapy reduced HbA1c but did not result in significant placebo-adjusted reductions from baseline according to the prespecified primary analysis (n = 157); however, in a post-hoc analysis with a larger patient population (n = 292), significant and clinically relevant HbA1c reductions were observed. Ertugliflozin was generally well tolerated.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01986881.

Project description:IntroductionThis subgroup analysis assessed the efficacy and safety of once weekly dulaglutide 1.5 mg and 0.75 mg in East Asian patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) stratified by key demographic and baseline characteristics.MethodsChange from baseline in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting blood glucose (FBG) and body weight were analyzed by age (< 60 years, ≥ 60 years), gender (male, female), body weight (< 70 kg, ≥ 70 kg), BMI (< 25 kg/m2, ≥ 25 kg/m2), duration of diabetes (< 10 years, ≥ 10 years), baseline HbA1c (< 8.5%, ≥ 8.5%) and concomitant oral antihyperglycemic medications (OAMs; metformin only, SU only, metformin + SU) at week 26 and 52 in East Asian patients from the AWARD-CHN2 study. Incidence of gastrointestinal adverse events (GI AEs) and hypoglycemia was evaluated.ResultsA total of 422 East Asian patients with T2D were included in this subgroup analysis. At week 26, the reduction of HbA1c and FBG from baseline were similar across subgroups, except that patients with baseline HbA1c ≥ 8.5% had greater HbA1c and FBG reductions than patients with baseline HbA1c < 8.5%. Gender analysis showed HbA1c difference that was not clinically significant. The decrease in body weight varied across different subgroups in both dulaglutide doses; however, the difference was not clinically significant. The incidence of GI AEs and total hypoglycemia was generally similar across subgroups in both doses. A similar trend was observed at week 52 in both dulaglutide doses.ConclusionsIn East Asian patients with T2D, treatment with dulaglutide (1.5 mg and 0.75 mg) demonstrated significant improvements in glycemic control irrespective of all subgroups, except baseline HbA1c, with greater HbA1c and FBG reductions in patients with higher baseline HbA1c. Dulaglutide was well tolerated with a similar safety profile to other GLP-1 receptor agonists.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01648582.

Project description:Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ertugliflozin in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were searched (July 31, 2021) for phase II/III randomized clinical trials, which reported the efficacy and safety of ertugliflozin. Continuous variables were calculated as weighted mean difference (WMD) and associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs); dichotomous data were expressed as risk ratios (RRs) with 95% CIs. Results: Nine randomized clinical trials including 5638 type 2 diabetes patients were included. For efficacy, ertugliflozin significantly reduced HbA1c (%) (WMD -0.452%; 95% CI -0.774 to -0.129), fasting plasma glucose (FPG) (WMD -0.870 mmol/L; 95% CI -1.418 to -0.322), body weight (WMD -1.774 kg; 95% CI -2.601 to -0.946), and blood pressure levels (systolic blood pressure: WMD -2.572 mmHg; 95% CI -3.573 to -1.571 and diastolic blood pressure: WMD -1.152 mmHg; 95% CI -2.002 to -0.303) compared with placebo and other hypoglycaemic agents. Compared with placebo, ertugliflozin was superior in reducing HbA1c (%) (WMD -0.641%) and FPG (WMD -1.249 mmol/L). And compared with active agents, ertugliflozin also could decrease HbA1c by 0.215% and FPG by 0.266 mmol/L. The interactive effect between different controls was significant (P interaction of 0.039). For safety, similar to other sodium-glucose cotransporter type-2 inhibitors, ertugliflozin mainly increased the risk of genital mycotic infection (RR: 4.004; 95% CI 2.504-6.402). There was no significant difference in the incidence of any adverse events (AEs), AEs related to study drug, serious AEs, deaths, and discontinuations due to AEs. Results were consistent with the most primary outcomes in subgroups analysis and sensitivity analysis. Conclusion: Ertugliflozin was relatively effective and tolerated in patients with type 2 diabetes compared with placebo or other hypoglycaemic agents, except for a high risk of genital mycotic infection.
