Long-term (52-week) efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin as an adjunct to insulin therapy in Japanese patients with type 1 diabetes: Subgroup analysis of the DEPICT-2 study.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To examine the long-term efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor used to treat type 1 diabetes, in the Japanese subpopulation of the DEPICT-2 study.

Materials and methods

Patients with type 1 diabetes were randomized to dapagliflozin 5 mg (n = 55), dapagliflozin 10 mg (n = 41) or placebo (n = 58) plus insulin for a 24-week, double-blind period followed by a 28-week, single-blind extension phase.

Results

From baseline to 24 weeks, dapagliflozin reduced HbA1c compared with placebo (mean change of -0.58% and -0.80% for 5 and 10 mg, respectively), and an HbA1c reduction was observed up to 52 weeks. Compared with placebo, dapagliflozin 5 and 10 mg increased the proportion of patients achieving HbA1c reductions of 0.5% or more without severe hypoglycaemia events and reduced glycaemic variability assessed via continuous glucose monitoring. Both dapagliflozin doses decreased body weight and total daily insulin dose at 24 weeks compared with placebo; these reductions were maintained up to 52 weeks. Diabetic ketoacidosis occurred in both dapagliflozin groups (one and two cases, respectively) but not with placebo.

Conclusions

Efficacy and safety results from the Japanese subpopulation of the DEPICT-2 study were generally consistent with those from the overall population, indicating that long-term dapagliflozin adjunct to insulin therapy improves glycaemic control without an increased risk of hypoglycaemia but with a risk of diabetic ketoacidosis in Japanese patients with type 1 diabetes.

Project description:IntroductionOrlistat is an inhibitor of pancreatic lipase and is used as an anti-obesity drug in many countries. However, there are no data available regarding the effects of orlistat on visceral fat (VF) accumulation in Japanese individuals. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the efficacy and safety of 52 weeks of orlistat administration in Japanese individuals.MethodsOrlistat 60 mg was administered orally three times daily for 52 weeks to Japanese participants with excessive VF accumulation and without dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension (metabolic diseases). Participants were also counseled to improve their diet and to maintain exercise habits. We defined excessive VF accumulation as a waist circumference (WC) of ≥ 85 cm for males and ≥ 90 cm for females, which corresponds to a VF area of 100 cm2. Adverse reactions, clinical laboratory tests, VF, WC, body weight (BW), etc., were monitored throughout the study period.ResultsVF, WC, and BW were significantly reduced at week 52 from baseline; the mean ± standard error rate of change was - 21.52% ± 1.89%, - 4.89% ± 0.45%, and - 5.36% ± 0.56%, respectively, and continued to reduce throughout the 52 weeks; these significantly reduced at whole term compared with baseline. Most adverse reactions were defecation-related symptoms such as oily spotting and flatus with discharge (flatus with small amounts of stool or oil) due to the pharmacologic effects of the lipase inhibitor. These symptoms were mostly mild, reversible, and recognizable by the participants; none were serious or severe. No participants discontinued by medical judgment about adverse reactions, and the drug could be administered continuously.ConclusionVF, WC, and BW were reduced from week 4 to week 52, indicating the effect of long-term orlistat administration. Moreover, it was well tolerated with an acceptable safety profile. Long-term administration of orlistat may be efficacious in reducing VF accumulation with safety when used in combination with diet and exercise.Trial registrationThis study is registered with the Japan Pharmaceutical Information Center (identifier: JapicCTI-184004).FundingFunding for this study was provided by Taisho Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

Project description:IntroductionThe PRONTO-T1D study evaluated the efficacy and safety of ultra rapid lispro (URLi) versus lispro in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus. After 26 weeks of treatment, mealtime and postmeal URLi provided effective and comparable glycemic control in a prespecified subpopulation analysis of Japanese patients from PRONTO-T1D. We present the results of a 52-week study which evaluated the long-term efficacy and safety of URLi in Japanese patients.MethodsAfter an 8-week lead-in period to optimize basal insulin treatment, Japanese patients were randomized to one of three treatment groups: the 52-week double-blind mealtime URLi (n = 62) or mealtime lispro (n = 59) group, respectively, or the 52-week open-label postmeal URLi (n = 46) group.ResultsAt week 52, there were no statistically significant differences in change from baseline in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) between Japanese patients on URLi and those on lispro; the least-squares mean (LSM) treatment difference was 0.04% (95% confidence interval [CI] - 0.18, 0.25) between mealtime URLi and lispro, and 0.04% (95% CI - 0.19, 0.28) between postmeal URLi and mealtime lispro. No significant between-group differences were observed in the number of patients achieving the HbA1c target of < 7.0% (20.0, 30.5 and 16.3% of those on mealtime URLi, mealtime lispro and postmeal URLi, respectively). Daily average blood glucose levels in the 10-point self-monitored blood glucose profiles at week 52 were similar between treatments. However, compared with lispro, lower blood glucose levels were observed for the mealtime URLi group at the morning 1- and 2-h postmeal time points with LSM differences of - 32.7 mg/dL (- 1.82 mmol/L) (p = 0.005) and - 23.2 mg/dL (- 1.29 mmol/L) (p = 0.029), respectively. There were no significant treatment differences in the incidences of treatment-emergent adverse events, documented hypoglycemia and severe hypoglycemia; however, the rate of documented hypoglycemia was lower in the mealtime URLi arm compared with the lispro arm.ConclusionsOverall glycemic control and improved postprandial glucose via self-monitoring was maintained in Japanese patients following 52 weeks of treatment with URLi versus lispro, including postmeal URLi administration.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03214367.

Project description:IntroductionCertolizumab pegol (CZP), an Fc-free, PEGylated anti-tumour necrosis factor biologic, dosed at 400 mg every 2 weeks (Q2W) and 200 mg Q2W over 16 weeks, resulted in improvements in Japanese patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis (PSO); no new safety signals were identified. We present 52-week efficacy and safety results.MethodsPatients ≥ 20 years with PSO ≥ 6 months [Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) ≥ 12, body surface area ≥ 10%, Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) ≥ 3] were randomised 1:2:2 to placebo Q2W, CZP 400 mg Q2W and CZP 200 mg Q2W (400 mg weeks 0/2/4) for 16 weeks. Week 16 PASI 50 responders continued through week 52; CZP 200 mg Q2W-randomised patients were re-randomised 1:1 to CZP 200 mg Q2W or CZP 400 mg Q4W; patients initially randomised to other treatment groups continued in the same group. Outcomes included PASI 75/90/100, PGA 0/1, Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) 0/1, Itch Numeric Rating Scale (INRS) 0, modified Nail Psoriasis Severity Index (mNAPSI), durability of response for week 16 PASI 75/90 responders, and safety.ResultsOf 26/53/48 patients randomised to placebo, CZP 400 mg Q2W and CZP 200 mg Q2W, 2/47/39 completed week 52, respectively. PASI 75/90 responses were generally maintained from weeks 16 to 52 for all CZP doses. Most week 16 PASI 75/90 achievers maintained their response through week 52. PASI 75/90/100 responses at week 52 in the CZP 400 mg Q2W and CZP 200 mg Q2W groups were 83.0/81.1/41.5% and 72.9/60.4/18.8%, respectively; DLQI/INRS remission rates were 64.2/50.9% in CZP 400 mg Q2W and 58.3/27.1% in CZP 200 mg Q2W-treated patients. Reductions in mNAPSI observed for CZP-treated groups were maintained through week 52. No new safety signals were identified.ConclusionCZP treatment resulted in improvements in signs and symptoms of PSO, which were maintained through week 52. The 400 mg Q2W dose could provide additional clinical benefit.Trial registrationNCT03051217.

Project description:BackgroundThe current study evaluated the long-term (52 week) safety and impact on symptom measures of lurasidone (with or without lithium or valproate) for the treatment of bipolar I disorder in Japanese patients.MethodsBipolar patients for this open-label flexibly dosed lurasidone (20-120 mg/day) study were recruited from those with a recent/current depressive episode who completed an initial 6 week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, lurasidone study (depressed group), and those with a recent/current manic, hypomanic, or mixed episode (non-depressed group) who agreed to enroll directly into the long-term study. Measures of adverse events and safety included treatment-emergent adverse events, vital signs, body weight, ECG, laboratory tests, and measures of suicidality and extrapyramidal symptoms. Symptom measures included Montgomery Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) and Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS).ResultsThe most common adverse events associated with lurasidone were akathisia (30.7%), nasopharyngitis (26.6%), nausea (12.1%), and somnolence (12.1%). Minimal changes in lipids and measures of glycemic control occurred. Mean change in body weight was + 1.0 kg in the non-depressed group and - 0.8 kg in the depressed group. MADRS total scores declined by a mean (SD) of 2.0 (14.7) points from long-term baseline to endpoint in the depressed group who had received placebo in the prior 6 week trial. The depressed group that had received lurasidone during the prior 6 week study maintained their depressive symptom improvements. For the non-depressed group, YMRS total scores decreased over time.LimitationsNo control group was included, treatment was open-label, and 49.7% of patients completed the 52 week study.ConclusionsLong-term treatment with lurasidone 20-120 mg/day for Japanese patients with bipolar disorder maintained improvements in depressive symptoms for depressed patients who were treated in a prior 6 week trial and led to improvements in manic symptoms among a newly recruited subgroup of patients with a recent/current manic, hypomanic, or mixed episode. Few changes in weight or metabolic parameters were evident.Clinical trial registrationJapicCTI-132319, clinicaltrials.gov-NCT01986114.
