RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Sotagliflozin is a dual sodium-glucose co-transporter 1 and 2 inhibitor that increases glucosuria and natriuresis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the safety and efficacy in patients with concomitant chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to conduct a meta-analysis to evaluate the current evidence in this regard. METHODS: We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science for randomized controlled clinical trials on the safety and efficacy of Sotagliflozin in patients with T2DM and CKD compared with placebo. Statistical analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4. Heterogeneity was assessed with I2 statistics. The study was recorded in PROSPERO registry (CRD42023449631). RESULTS : We included three studies totaling 11,648 patients followed for 15.7 ± 5.9 months. Reduction in HbA1C (mean difference - 0.33%; 95% CI [- 0.54, - 0.11]; p = 0.003; I2 = 100%) and weight (mean difference - 1.01 kg; 95% CI [- 1.17, - 0.86]; p < 0.00001; I2 = 96%) were significantly higher in the Sotagliflozin group compared with placebo. All-cause mortality (RR 0.98; 95% CI [0.81, 1.20]; p = 0.87; I2 = 0%) and major adverse cardiovascular events (RR 0.70; 95% CI [0.40, 1.21]; p = 0.20; I2 = 39%) were not significantly different between groups. However, estimated glomerular filtration rate reduction (mean difference - 0.95; 95% CI [- 1.32, - 0.58]; p < 0.00001; I2 = 98%), genital mycotic infections (RR 2.73; 95% CI [1.96, 3.79]; p < 0.00001; I2 = 0%), diarrhea (RR 1.42; 95% CI [1.24. 1.63]; p < 0.00001; I2 = 0%) and volume depletion (RR 1.31; 95% CI [1.11, 1.56]; p = 0.002; I2 = 0%) were more common with Sotagliflozin. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with T2DM and CKD, Sotagliflozin appears to be effective for glycemic control and weight loss. Although the medication seemed safe concerning mortality and cardiovascular events, it induced estimated glomerular filtration rate reduction, and was associated with a higher risk of genital mycotic infections, diarrhea, and volume depletion.
RESUMO
Papillary subtypes of renal-cell carcinoma (pRCC) represent 10-15% of the cases and commonly have MET alterations. This systematic review and single-arm meta-analysis evaluated MET inhibitor therapy (METi) efficacy and safety in adults with confirmed advanced pRCC. The search strategy included PubMed, Web-of-science, Cochrane, and Scopus. We used the DerSimonian/Laird random effect model for all analyses; p-value < 5% was considered significant, and heterogeneity was assessed with I2. Three clinical trials and six cohort studies were included with 504 patients; 31% were MET-driven. Our pooled analysis demonstrated an objective response rate (ORR) in MET-driven, MET-independent, and overall patients of: 36% (95%CI: 10-62), 0% (95%CI: 0-3), and 21% (95%CI: 1-41), respectively. One-year disease control and progression-free survival rates were, respectively, 70% (95%CI: 52-88) and 15% (95%CI: 10-20). Twelve- and twenty-four-month survival rates were, respectively, 43% (95%CI: 23-64) and 10% (95%CI: 0-30). The prevalence of adverse events of any grade and grades 3-5 were 96% (95%CI: 91-100) and 44% (95%CI: 37-50), respectively. We suggest METi has anti-tumor activity and is tolerable in patients with advanced pRCC.
