ABSTRACT
AIMS/INTRODUCTION:
We conducted a 5 year post-trial monitoring study of our previous randomized 24 week, open-label, active-controlled trial that showed beneficial effects of ipragliflozin on metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), identical to those of pioglitazone. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
In our previous trial, 66 patients with MASLD and type 2 diabetes were randomly assigned to receive either ipragliflozin (n = 32) or pioglitazone (n = 34). Upon its conclusion, 61 patients were monitored for 5 years for outcome measures of MASLD, glycemic, and metabolic parameters. Differences between the two groups were analyzed at baseline, 24 weeks, and 5 years; changes in outcome measures from baseline were also evaluated.RESULTS:
At 5 years, the mean liver-to-spleen attenuation ratio increased by 0.20 (from 0.78 ± 0.24 to 0.98 ± 0.20) in the ipragliflozin group and by 0.26 (from 0.76 ± 0.26 to 1.02 ± 0.20) in the pioglitazone group (P = 0.363). Similarly, ipragliflozin and pioglitazone significantly improved serum aminotransferase, HbA1c, and fasting plasma glucose levels over 5 years. In the ipragliflozin group, significant reductions in body weight and visceral fat area observed at 24 weeks were sustained throughout the 5 years (-4.0%, P = 0.0075 and -7.6%, P = 0.045, respectively). Moreover, ipragliflozin significantly reduced the values of fibrosis markers (serum ferritin and FIB-4 index), was well tolerated, and had a higher continuation rate for 5 years compared with pioglitazone.CONCLUSIONS:
Ipragliflozin and pioglitazone improved MASLD and glycemic parameters over 5 years. In the ipragliflozin group, significant reductions in body weight and visceral fat mass persisted for 5 years.
