Efficacy and safety of nebivolol in hypertensive patients: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:Our meta-analysis was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nebivolol compared with other second-generation ? blockers for hypertensive patients. METHODS:We searched PubMed, the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Clinical Trials.gov databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The efficacy endpoints included systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), reduction of SBP and DBP, heart rate (HR), and adverse events (AEs). FINDINGS:Eight RCTs with 1514 patients met the inclusion criteria. HR was significantly lower in patients receiving other second-generation ? blockers compared with patients receiving nebivolol. There was no difference the reduction of blood pressure (SBP and DBP) or the reduction of SBP or DBP between the groups. The incidence of AEs was lower in patients taking nebivolol compared with patients taking other second-generation ? blockers. CONCLUSIONS:No significant difference was demonstrated between nebivolol and other second-generation ? blockers in the reduction of blood pressure, SBP, and DBP. The tolerability of nebivolol was significantly better compared with other second-generation ? blockers, and nebivolol was also associated with a stable HR and a lower risk of AEs compared with other second-generation ? blockers.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Dapagliflozin, a novel inhibitor of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2), lowers blood glucose level by specifically inhibiting the activity of SGLT-2. Previous studies showed efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin combined with other antihyperglycemic agents in type 2 diabetes (T2DM), however, there are few studies for dapagliflozin as monotherapy. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin as a monotherapy in T2DM and provide theoretical basis for clinical rational use of drugs. METHODS:We did a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized, placbo-controlled clinical studies in patients with type 2 diabetes. We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP database through October 2018, we also manually screened list of references to the previous meta-analysis of dapagliflozin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Data search and extraction were completed with a standardized data form and any discrepancies were resolved by consensus. A meta-analysis was conducted by using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS:Six randomized controlled trials (RCTs) including 2033 patients were analyzed. Compared with placebo, dapagliflozin monotherapy was associated with a reduction in glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (weighted mean difference [WMD]: -0.60%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.67%, -0.52%; P < .00001), fasting plasam glucose (FPG) (WMD: -1.30 mmol/L; 95% CI: -1.52, -1.08; P < .00001), and body weight (WMD: -1.50 kg; 95% CI: -1.67, -1.32; P < .00001). Dapagliflozin was associated with an increased risk of urinary tract infections (relative risk [RR]: 1.74; 95% CI: 1.21, 2.49; P = .003) and genital tract infections (RR: 3.52; 95% CI: 2.06, 6.03; P < .00001). CONCLUSIONS:Dapagliflozin monotherapy was well tolerated and effective in reducing the level of HbA1c, FPG, and body weight in patients with T2DM without increasing hypoglycaemia, although it may increase the risk of urinary tract infections and genital tract infections. This meta-analysis provides an evidence for the treatment in patients with T2DM. However, more randomized clinical evidences are still needed to verify the results.

Project description:BackgroundCanagliflozin is a new SGLT2 inhibitor which has been approved as an adjunct to diet and exercise for the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) mellitus in more than 30 countries. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of canagliflozin in patients with T2D, we carried out a meta-analysis of phase III clinical trials to offer an additional evidence of the efficacy and safety of canagliflozin for evidence-based clinical practice, strictly restricting the treatment durations to 26 weeks (core period) and 52 weeks (extension period).MethodsRandomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in English were searched in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library database (before April 2016). The studies reporting the efficacy and safety of canagliflozin in patients with T2DM were considered. Two authors separately performed data extraction. The differences were discussed and resolved. Pooled weighted mean differences (WMDs) or relative risks and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were computed by using either fixed- or random-effects models.ResultsAt the end of the selection process, 7 RCTs were collected and included in the present analysis. Placebo-subtracted WMDs (%) of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were -0.63 (95% CI: -0.77, -0.49) and -0.80 (95% CI: -0.98, -0.62) for canagliflozin 100 and 300 mg, respectively, from baseline to week 26. At week 26, canagliflozin 100 and 300 mg significantly reduced the body weight from baseline when compared with that of placebo, with a WMD of -2.23 and -3.00 in percent changes (P < 0.001 for both). The fasting and postmeal glucose, blood pressure (BP), and triglycerides were also reduced. These reductions were sustained over 52 weeks but had no significant differences between the 100 and 300 mg doses. The overall safety of canagliflozin was good, with the exception of high incidence of genital mycotic infections and osmotic diuresis-related adverse events.ConclusionCanagliflozin was found to reduce HbA1c, fasting and postmeal glucose, body weight, BP, and triglycerides, and it was generally well tolerated in patients with T2DM.
