ABSTRACT: AIM:To investigate the long-term efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin as an adjunct to adjustable insulin in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and inadequate glycaemic control. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Dapagliflozin Evaluation in Patients with Inadequately Controlled Type 1 Diabetes (DEPICT-2) was a placebo-controlled, double-blind, multicentre, phase III study of adults with T1D (HbA1c 7.5%-10.5%) randomized (1:1:1) to receive dapagliflozin 5, 10 mg, or placebo. The efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin over 52?weeks were exploratory endpoints in this extension to DEPICT-2. RESULTS:Of 813 participants randomized, 88.2% completed the study. From baseline to 52?weeks, dapagliflozin 5 and 10 mg were associated with reduction in HbA1c (difference [95% CI] vs. placebo: -0.20% [-0.34, -0.06] and -0.25% [-0.38, -0.11], respectively) and adjusted mean percentage change in body weight (difference [95% CI] vs. placebo: -4.42% [-5.19, -3.64] and -4.86% [-5.63, -4.08], respectively). Serious adverse events were reported in the dapagliflozin 5, 10 mg, and placebo groups (32 [11.8%], 19 [7.0%] and 16 [5.9%], respectively). The proportion of hypoglycaemic events was similar across groups; severe hypoglycaemia was uncommon. More participants with events adjudicated as definite diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) were in the dapagliflozin 5 and 10 mg groups versus placebo (11 [4.1%], 10 [3.7%] and 1 [0.4%], respectively); the majority of events were mild or moderate in severity and all were resolved with treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Dapagliflozin led to long-term reductions in HbA1c and body weight in adults with T1D, but increased DKA risk compared with placebo.
