ABSTRACT
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, have caused hyperplasia/neoplasia of thyroid C cells in rodent carcinogenicity studies. Studies in monkeys have not identified an effect of GLP-1 receptor agonists on thyroid C cells; however, group sizes were small. Dulaglutide is a once-weekly, long-acting human GLP-1 receptor agonist recently approved in the United States and the European Union. The objective of this study was to determine whether dulaglutide altered C-cell mass in monkeys. Male cynomolgus monkeys (20 per group) were sc injected with dulaglutide 8.15 mg/kg (∼500-fold maximum human plasma exposure) or a vehicle control twice weekly for 52 weeks. Basal and calcium gluconate-stimulated serum calcitonin concentrations were obtained at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Thyroid glands were weighed, fixed, and sectioned at 500-µm intervals. C-cell volumes were measured using an automated image analysis. C-cell proliferation was estimated using Ki67/calcitonin colabeling and cell counting. Administration of dulaglutide 8.15 mg/kg twice weekly for 52 weeks did not increase serum calcitonin in monkeys or affect thyroid weight, histology, C-cell proliferation, or absolute/relative C-cell volume. This study represents a comprehensive evaluation of the monkey thyroid C cells after dosing with a GLP-1 receptor agonist, with a large group size, and measurement of multiple relevant parameters. The lack of effect of dulaglutide on C cells is consistent with other studies in monkeys using GLP-1 receptor agonists and suggests that nonhuman primates are less sensitive than rodents to the induction of proliferative changes in thyroid C cells by GLP-1 receptor agonists.
