Efficacy and Safety of Ertugliflozin in Patients with Overweight and Obesity with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:This study aimed to evaluate ertugliflozin in patients with overweight and obesity with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS:Data from three placebo-controlled, randomized, Phase 3 studies were pooled. Patients with baseline BMI???25 (1,377/1,544; 89%) were assessed with a stratification by BMI subgroup. RESULTS:At week 26, reductions from baseline in glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose, body weight (BW), and systolic blood pressure (SBP) were greater with ertugliflozin versus placebo. For placebo, ertugliflozin 5 mg, and ertugliflozin 15 mg, respectively, least squares mean change was 0.1%, -0.8%, and -0.9% for HbA1c and -1.2 kg, -3.1 kg, and -3.2 kg for BW. HbA1c reductions were consistent across BMI subgroups. For ertugliflozin 5 mg and 15 mg, least squares mean change (placebo adjusted) in absolute BW was -1.4 kg and -1.2 kg for BMI 25 to?

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: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.
