RESUMO

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists have garnered significant attention for their therapeutic potential in addressing the interconnected health challenges of diabetes, obesity, and cancer. The role of GLP-1R in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is highlighted, emphasizing its pivotal contribution to glucose homeostasis, promoting ß-cell proliferation, and facilitating insulin release. GLP-1R agonists have effectively managed obesity by reducing hunger, moderating food intake, and regulating body weight. Beyond diabetes and obesity, GLP-1R agonists exhibit a multifaceted impact on cancer progression across various malignancies. The mechanisms underlying these effects involve the modulation of signaling pathways associated with cell growth, survival, and metabolism. However, the current literature reveals a lack of in vivo studies on specific GLP-1R agonists such as semaglutide, necessitating further research to elucidate its precise mechanisms and effects, particularly in cancer. While other GLP-1R agonists have shown promising outcomes in mitigating cancer progression, the association between some GLP-1R agonists and an increased risk of cancer remains a topic requiring more profound investigation. This calls for more extensive research to unravel the intricate relationships between the GLP-1R agonist and different cancers, providing valuable insights for clinicians and researchers alike.

RESUMO

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Regulators worldwide are reviewing safety data on glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA), following reports by the Icelandic Medicines Agency in July 2023 of suicidal ideation and self-injury (SIS) in individuals taking liraglutide and semaglutide. We aimed to assess the risk of SIS in new users of GLP-1RA when compared with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) users, prescribed to treat type 2 diabetes in individuals with obesity. METHODS: This is a cohort study combining several population-wide databases and covering a Spanish population of five million inhabitants, including all adults with obesity who initiated treatment with either GLP-1RA or SGLT-2i for type 2 diabetes from 2015 to 2021. To estimate the comparative effect of GLP-1RA on the risk of SIS, we employed a new user, active comparator design and we carried out multivariable Cox regression modelling with inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) based on propensity scores. We performed several stratified and sensitivity analyses. RESULTS: We included 3040 patients initiating treatment with GLP-1RA and 11,627 with SGLT-2i. When compared with patients treated with SGLT-2i, those in the GLP-1RA group were younger (55 vs 60 years old, p<0.001), had more anxiety (49.4% vs 41.5%, p<0.001), sleep disorders (43.2% vs 34.1%, p<0.001) and depression (24.4% vs 19.0%, p<0.001), and were more obese (35.1% of individuals with BMI ≥40 vs 15.1%, p<0.001). After propensity score weighting, standardised mean differences between groups were <0.1 for all covariates, showing adequate balance between groups at baseline after adjustment. In the main per-protocol analyses we found no evidence that GLP-1RA increased the incidence of SIS (HR 1.04; 95% CI 0.35, 3.14). Intention-to-treat analyses resulted in an HR of 1.36 (95% CI 0.51, 3.61). In analyses excluding individuals with no BMI information and using imputation for BMI missing values, respective HRs were 0.89 (95% CI 0.26, 3.14) and 1.29 (95% CI 0.42, 3.92). Stratified analyses showed no differences between subgroups. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: Our findings do not support an increased risk of SIS when taking GLP-1RA in individuals with type 2 diabetes and obesity; however, the rarity of SIS events and the wide uncertainty of effect size (although null, effect may be compatible with a risk as high as threefold) calls for a cautious interpretation of our results. Further studies, including final evaluations from regulatory bodies, are called for to discard a causal link between GLP-1RA and suicidality.

RESUMO

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: We aimed to determine whether the use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) in individuals with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus decreases the risk of new-onset adverse cardiovascular events (CVEs) and mortality rate compared with other glucose-lowering drugs in a real setting at a population level. METHODS: We conducted a population-based propensity-matched retrospective cohort study using TriNetX. The cohort comprised patients over 20 years old who were newly treated with glucose-lowering drugs between 1 January 2013 and 31 December 2021, and followed until 30 September 2022. New users of GLP-1RAs were matched based on age, demographics, comorbidities and medication use by using 1:1 propensity matching with other glucose-lowering drugs. The primary outcome was the new onset of adverse CVEs, including heart failure, composite incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE; defined as unstable angina, myocardial infarction, or coronary artery procedures or surgeries) and composite cerebrovascular events (defined as the first occurrence of stroke, transient ischaemic attack, cerebral infarction, carotid intervention or surgery), and the secondary outcome was all-cause mortality. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate HRs. RESULTS: The study involved 2,835,398 patients with both NAFLD and type 2 diabetes. When compared with the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors group, the GLP-1RAs group showed no evidence of a difference in terms of new-onset heart failure (HR 0.97; 95% CI 0.93, 1.01), MACE (HR 0.95; 95% CI 0.90, 1.01) and cerebrovascular events (HR 0.99; 95% CI 0.94, 1.03). Furthermore, the two groups had no evidence of a difference in mortality rate (HR 1.06; 95% CI 0.97, 1.15). Similar results were observed across sensitivity analyses. Compared with other second- or third-line glucose-lowering medications, the GLP-1RAs demonstrated a lower rate of adverse CVEs, including heart failure (HR 0.88; 95% CI 0.85, 0.92), MACE (HR 0.89; 95% CI 0.85, 0.94), cerebrovascular events (HR 0.93; 95% CI 0.89, 0.96) and all-cause mortality rate (HR 0.70; 95% CI 0.66, 0.75). CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: In individuals with NAFLD and type 2 diabetes, GLP-1RAs are associated with lower incidences of adverse CVEs and all-cause mortality compared with metformin or other second- and third-line glucose-lowering medications. However, there was no significant difference in adverse CVEs or all-cause mortality when compared with those taking SGLT2 inhibitors.

RESUMO

The pathophysiological mechanisms of cardiovascular disease and microvascular complications in diabetes have been extensively studied, but effective methods of prevention and treatment are still lacking. In recent years, DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs have arisen as possible mechanisms involved in the development, maintenance, and progression of micro- and macro-vascular complications of diabetes. Epigenetic changes have the characteristic of being heritable or deletable. For this reason, they are now being studied as a therapeutic target for the treatment of diabetes and the prevention or for slowing down its complications, aiming to alleviate the personal and social burden of the disease.This review addresses current knowledge of the pathophysiological links between diabetes and cardiovascular complications, focusing on the role of epigenetic modifications, including DNA methylation and histone modifications. In addition, although the treatment of complications of diabetes with "epidrugs" is still far from being a reality and faces several challenges, we present the most promising molecules and approaches in this field.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) are an emerging class of medications with demonstrated promise in improving cardiometabolic outcomes. Whether these drugs may be useful in mitigating the cardiac risk associated with SLE remains unknown, and a recent case of drug induced lupus secondary to GLP1-RA use calls the safety of GLP1-RAs in SLE patients into question. Accordingly, this retrospective analysis was initiated to evaluate outcomes of GLP1-RAs in SLE. METHODS: All patients in the NYU Lupus Cohort who had used a GLP1-RA were eligible for inclusion. Patient characteristics were assessed at baseline (most recent rheumatology visit prior to starting GLP1-RA), 1-4 months, and 6-10 months after GLP1-RA initiation. RESULTS: Of the 1211 patients in the cohort, only 24 had received a GLP1-RA. Six were excluded due to insufficient documentation regarding duration of medication use. Of the remaining 18 (median age 50), 17 (94%) were female and 9 (50%) were white. There was one mild-to-moderate flare at 6-10 months, but no patients accumulated new SLE criteria during the follow up period. Compared with baseline, median BMI was reduced by 3% at 1-4 months (p= 0.002) and 13% at 6-10 months (p= 0.001). Nine (50%) patients were initially denied insurance coverage for a GLP1-RA. CONCLUSION: While limited by a small sample size, this descriptive study showed that GLP1-RAs did not trigger flares above expected background rates and were associated with significantly decreased BMI. Future studies exploring the potential benefits of GLP1-RAs in patients with SLE are warranted.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: We evaluated the prevalence of "heart stress" (HS) based on NT-proBNP cut-points proposed by the 2023 Consensus of the Heart Failure Association (HFA) of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) in asymptomatic patients with T2DM and hypertension or high-normal blood pressure (BP) eligible for SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and/or GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA), drugs with proven benefits on reducing the incidence of HF, hospitalizations, cardiovascular events and mortality. METHODS: A cross-sectional multicentric study was conducted on 192 consecutive outpatients, aged ≥ 55 years, with hypertension or high-normal BP, referred to three diabetology units. NT-proBNP was collected before starting new anti-diabetic therapy. Patients with known HF were excluded, and participants were classified based on the age-adjusted NT-proBNP cut-points. RESULTS: Mean age: 70.3 ± 7.8 years (67.5% males). Patients with obesity (BMI ≥ 30 Kg/m2): 63.8%. Median NT-proBNP: 96.0 (38.8-213.0) pg/mL. Prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD, eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73m2): 32.1%. Mean arterial BP: 138.5/77.0 ± 15.8/9.9 mmHg. The NT-proBNP values, according to the proposed age-adjusted cut-points, classified 28.6% of patients as "HS likely" (organize elective echocardiography and specialist evaluation), 43.2% as "HS not likely" (a grey area, repeat NT-proBNP at six months) and 28.2% as "very unlikely HS" (repeat NT-proBNP at one year). The presence of CKD and the number of anti-hypertensive drugs, but not glycemic parameters, were independently associated with HS. CONCLUSIONS: According to NT-proBNP, over a quarter of T2DM patients with hypertension/high-normal BP, among those eligible for SGLT2i and/or GLP1-RA, were already at risk of cardiac damage, even subclinical. Most would receive an indication to echocardiogram and be referred to a specialist, allowing the early implementation of effective strategies to prevent or delay the progression to advanced stages of cardiac disease and overt HF.

RESUMO

Originally designed as anti-hyperglycemic drugs, Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1Ra) and Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have demonstrated protective cardiovascular effects, with significant impact on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Despite several mechanisms have been proposed, the exact pathophysiology behind these effects is not yet fully understood. Cardiovascular imaging is key for the evaluation of diabetic patients, with an established role from the identification of early subclinical changes to long-term follow up and prognostic assessment. Among the different imaging modalities, CMR may have a key-role being the gold standard for volumes and function assessment and having the unique ability to provide tissue characterization. Novel techniques are also implementing the possibility to evaluate cardiac metabolism through CMR and thereby further increasing the potential role of the modality in this context. Aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of changes in CMR parameters and novel CMR techniques applied in both pre-clinical and clinical studies evaluating the effects of SGLT2i and GLP-1Ra, and their potential role in better understanding the underlying CV mechanisms of these drugs.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: No randomized clinical trials have directly compared the cardiorenal effectiveness of empagliflozin and GLP-1RA agents with demonstrated cardioprotective effects in patients with a broad spectrum of cardiovascular risk. We reported the final-year results of the EMPRISE study, a monitoring program designed to evaluate the cardiorenal effectiveness of empagliflozin across broad patient subgroups. METHODS: We identified patients ≥ 18 years old with type 2 diabetes who initiated empagliflozin or GLP-1RA from 2014 to 2019 using US Medicare and commercial claims databases. After 1:1 propensity score matching using 143 baseline characteristics, we evaluated risks of outcomes including myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke, hospitalization for heart failure (HHF), major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE - MI, stroke, or cardiovascular mortality), a composite of HHF or cardiovascular mortality, and progression to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) (in patients with chronic kidney disease stages 3-4). We estimated hazard ratios (HR) and rate differences (RD) per 1,000 person-years, overall and within subgroups of age, sex, baseline atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), and heart failure (HF). RESULTS: We identified 141,541 matched pairs. Compared with GLP-1RA, empagliflozin was associated with similar risks of MI or stroke [HR: 0.99 (0.92, 1.07); RD: -0.23 (-1.25, 0.79)], and lower risks of HHF [HR: 0.50 (0.44, 0.56); RD: -2.28 (-2.98, -1.59)], MACE [HR: 0.90 (0.82, 0.99); RD: -2.54 (-4.76, -0.32)], cardiovascular mortality or HHF [HR: 0.77 (0.69, 0.86); RD: -4.11 (-5.95, -2.29)], and ESKD [0.75 (0.60, 0.94); RD: -6.77 (-11.97, -1.61)]. Absolute risk reductions were larger in older patients and in those with baseline ASCVD/HF. They did not differ by sex. CONCLUSIONS: The cardiovascular benefits of empagliflozin vs. cardioprotective GLP-1RA agents were larger in older patients and in patients with history of ASCVD or HF, while they did not differ by sex. In patients with advanced CKD, empagliflozin was associated with risk reductions of progression to ESKD.

RESUMO

The 9th Cardiovascular Outcome Trial (CVOT) Summit: Congress on Cardiovascular, Kidney, and Metabolic Outcomes was held virtually on November 30-December 1, 2023. This reference congress served as a platform for in-depth discussions and exchange on recently completed outcomes trials including dapagliflozin (DAPA-MI), semaglutide (SELECT and STEP-HFpEF) and bempedoic acid (CLEAR Outcomes), and the advances they represent in reducing the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), improving metabolic outcomes, and treating obesity-related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). A broad audience of endocrinologists, diabetologists, cardiologists, nephrologists and primary care physicians participated in online discussions on guideline updates for the management of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in diabetes, heart failure (HF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD); advances in the management of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and its comorbidities; advances in the management of CKD with SGLT2 inhibitors and non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (nsMRAs); and advances in the treatment of obesity with GLP-1 and dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists. The association of diabetes and obesity with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH; metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis, MASH) and cancer and possible treatments for these complications were also explored. It is generally assumed that treatment of chronic diseases is equally effective for all patients. However, as discussed at the Summit, this assumption may not be true. Therefore, it is important to enroll patients from diverse racial and ethnic groups in clinical trials and to analyze patient-reported outcomes to assess treatment efficacy, and to develop innovative approaches to tailor medications to those who benefit most with minimal side effects. Other keys to a successful management of diabetes and comorbidities, including dementia, entail the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology and the implementation of appropriate patient-physician communication strategies. The 10th Cardiovascular Outcome Trial Summit will be held virtually on December 5-6, 2024 ( http://www.cvot.org ).

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have suggested that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) may have a disease-modifying effect in the development of Parkinson's disease (PD), but population studies yielded inconsistent results. OBJECTIVE: The aim was to compare the risk of PD associated with GLP-1RAs compared to dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP4i) among older adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS: Using U.S. Medicare administrative data from 2016 to 2020, we conducted a population-based cohort study comparing the new use of GLP-1RA with the new use of DPP4i among adults aged ≥66 years with T2D. The primary endpoint was a new diagnosis of PD. A stabilized inverse probability of treatment weighting (sIPTW)-adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression model was employed to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for PD between GLP-1RA and DPP4i users. RESULTS: This study included 89,074 Medicare beneficiaries who initiated either GLP-1RA (n = 30,091) or DPP4i (n = 58,983). The crude incidence rate of PD was lower among GLP-1RA users than DPP4i users (2.85 vs. 3.92 patients per 1000 person-years). An sIPTW-adjusted Cox model showed that GLP-1RA users were associated with a 23% lower risk of PD than DPP4i users (HR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.63-0.95). Our findings were largely consistent across different subgroup analyses such as sex, race, and molecular structure of GLP-1RA. CONCLUSION: Among Medicare beneficiaries with T2D, the new use of GLP-1RAs was significantly associated with a decreased risk of PD compared to the new use of DPP4i. © 2024 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

RESUMO

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) claims millions of lives every year, with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) being the main cause. ASCVD treatment includes drug therapy, lifestyle intervention, and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) all of which significantly enhance cardiovascular function and reduce mortality. However, hyperplasia can lead to vascular obstruction, worsen angina symptoms, or even cause heart disease, affecting patients' long-term prognosis. Therefore, finding effective ways to combat hyperplasia is crucial for cardiovascular therapy. In recent years, ferroptosis has gained attention as a new form of cell death closely associated with several diseases, including cardiovascular diseases. It involves complex metabolic processes critical for cellular homeostasis and normal function. Abnormal proliferation and phenotypic transformation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) are crucial mechanisms underlying cardiovascular disease development. Inhibiting ferroptosis in VSMC has the potential to significantly reduce neointima proliferation. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) constitutes a widely employed class of hypoglycemic agents with direct implications for the cardiovascular system, mitigating adverse cardiovascular events. Research indicates that the stimulation of GLP-1 holds promise as a therapeutic strategy in mitigating cardiovascular events such as restenosis. Hence, investigating the potential of GLP-1RA as a treatment option for cardiovascular ailments carries immense clinical significance.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: We sought to characterise the impact of GLP-1RA on adverse liver outcomes (ALO) among patients with alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: Patients with T2DM newly diagnosed with ALD between 2013 and 2020 were identified using IBM MarketScan database and were categorised by GLP-1RA exposure. Overlap propensity score weighting (OPSW) followed by Poisson regression models was used to analyse adjusted risk of ALO, a composite endpoint defined by first occurrence of hepatic decompensation (HD), portal hypertension (PH), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or liver transplantation (LT) relative to GLP-1RA. RESULTS: Among 14 730 patients, most individuals were male (n = 9752, 66.2%) with median age of 57 (IQR 52-61) years; 2.2% (n = 317) of patients had GLP-1RA exposure. Overall, 32.0% (n = 4717) of patients experienced HD, 15.9% (n = 2345) had PH, 3.8% (n = 563) developed HCC, while 2.5% (n = 374) underwent transplantation. Non-GLP-1RA patients had higher incidence of HD (32.2% vs. 22.4%) and HCC (3.9% vs. 0.3%) versus patients taking GLP-1RA (both p < 0.001); in contrast, there was no difference in incidence of PH (14.5% vs. 16.0%) and LT (1.3% vs. 2.6%) (both p > 0.05). After OPSW, overall incidence of ALO was lower in GLP-1RA cohort (GLP-1RA: 12.0%, 95%CI 9.0-16.0 vs. non-GLP-1RA: 21.0%, 95%CI 20.0-22.0) with an absolute incidence risk reduction of 9.0% (95%CI 3.0%-15.0%) associated with GLP-1RA. GLP-1RA was most strongly associated with lower likelihood of HD with reduced adjusted incidence rate of 0.56 (95%CI 0.36-0.86) relative to non-GLP-1RA individuals. CONCLUSIONS: GLP-1RA may have a hepatoprotective impact among patients with ALD and T2DM.

RESUMO

Dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor and semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist, have both demonstrated efficacy in glycemic control, reducing blood pressure, body weight, risk of renal and heart failure in type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this observational, real-world, study we aimed to investigate the efficacy of the combination therapy with those two agents over glycemic control. We thus obtained the data of 1335 patients with type 2 diabetes followed by 11 Diabetes centers in Lombardia, Italy. A group of 443 patients was treated with dapagliflozin alone, the other group of 892 patients was treated with the combination therapy of dapagliflozin plus oral semaglutide. We analyzed changes in glycated hemoglobin from baseline to 6 months of follow-up, as well as changes in fasting glycemia, body weight, body mass index, systolic and diastolic pressure, heart rate, creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria. Both groups of patients showed an improvement of glycometabolic control after 6 months of treatment; indeed, the treatment with dapagliflozin plus oral semaglutide showed a reduction of glycated hemoglobin of 1.2% as compared to the 0.5% reduction observed in the dapagliflozin alone group. Significant changes were observed in body mass index, fasting plasmatic glucose, blood pressure, total cholesterol, LDL and albumin to creatinine ratio, with a high rate (55%) of near-normalization of glycated hemoglobin. Our real world data confirmed the potential of the oral combination therapy dapagliflozin with semaglutide in inducing pharmacological remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

RESUMO

AIM: To compare the risk of developing kidney outcomes with use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) versus use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors among individuals with diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this retrospective observational study, we analysed 12 338 individuals with diabetes who newly initiated SGLT2 inhibitors or GLP-1RAs using data from the JMDC claims database. The primary outcome was change in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), estimated using a linear mixed-effects model. A 1:4 propensity-score-matching algorithm was used to compare the changes in eGFR between GLP-1RA and SGLT2 inhibitor users. RESULTS: After propensity-score matching, 2549 individuals (median [range] age 52 [46-58] years, 80.6% men) were analysed (510 GLP-1RA new users and 2039 SGLT2 inhibitor new users). SGLT2 inhibitor use was associated with a slower eGFR decline when compared with GLP-1RA use (-1.41 [95% confidence interval -1.63 to -1.19] mL/min/1.73 m2 vs. -2.62 [95% confidence interval -3.15 to -2.10] mL/min/1.73 m2). CONCLUSIONS: Our analysis demonstrates the potential advantages of SGLT2 inhibitors over GLP-1RAs in terms of kidney outcomes in individuals with diabetes.

RESUMO

AIM: Novel long-acting drugs for type 2 diabetes mellitus may optimize patient compliance and glycaemic control. Exendin-4-IgG4-Fc (E4F4) is a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist. This first-in-human study investigated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and immunogenicity profiles of a single subcutaneous injection of E4F4 in healthy subjects. METHODS: This single-centre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 1 clinical trial included 96 subjects in 10 sequential cohorts that were provided successively higher doses of E4F4 (0.45, 0.9, 1.8, 3.15, 4.5, 6.3, 8.1, 10.35, 12.6 and 14.85 mg) or placebo (ChinaDrugTrials.org.cn: ChiCTR2100049732). The primary endpoint was safety and tolerability of E4F4. Secondary endpoints were pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and immunogenicity profiles of E4F4. Safety data to day 15 after the final subject in a cohort had been dosed were reviewed before commencing the next dose level. RESULTS: E4F4 was safe and well tolerated among healthy Chinese participants in this study. There was no obvious dose-dependent relationship between frequency, severity or causality of treatment-emergent adverse events. Cmax and area under the curve of E4F4 were dose proportional over the 0.45-14.85 mg dose range. Median Tmax and t1/2 ranged from 146 to 210 h and 199 to 252 h, respectively, across E4F4 doses, with no dose-dependent trends. For the intravenous glucose tolerance test, area under the curve of glucose in plasma from time 0 to 180 min showed a dose-response relationship in the 1.8-10.35 mg dose range, with an increased response at the higher doses. CONCLUSION: E4F4 exhibited an acceptable safety profile and linear pharmacokinetics in healthy subjects. The recommended phase 2 dose is 4.5-10.35 mg once every 2 weeks.

RESUMO

AIM: To assess the short-term, real-world use and effectiveness of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) medications in the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in a diverse cohort of youth. METHODS: This multicentre retrospective study analysed youth prescribed a GLP-1RA for the management of T2D at two academic paediatric diabetes centres prior to June 2022. Change in HbA1c and insulin use from baseline to first (median 91 days) and second (median 190 days) follow-up were evaluated for those taking a GLP-1RA. Multivariable linear mixed effects models adjusting for baseline sex, age, race/ethnicity, insurance, insulin regimen, metformin regimen, GLP-1RA dosing frequency and the body mass index Z-score (BMI-Z) examined the change in HbA1c for participants for up to 6 months after baseline. RESULTS: A total of 136 patients with T2D (median age 16.1 [interquartile range 13.9-18.0] years, 54% female, 56% non-Hispanic Black, 24% Hispanic, 77% with public insurance) were prescribed GLP-1RAs and taking them at first or second follow-up. Median HbA1c decreased from 7.9% to 7.6% (P < .001) at a median follow-up of 91 days (n = 109) and, among those with HbA1c available at baseline and second follow-up (n = 83), from 8.4% to 7.4%. The proportion of patients prescribed insulin decreased from baseline to the first follow-up visit (basal 69% to 60% [P = .008], prandial 46% to 38% [P = .03]). In multivariable analysis, there was a mean decrease in HbA1c by 0.09 percentage points per month (P = .005, 95% confidence interval -0.15, -0.03). CONCLUSIONS: Real-world use of GLP-1RAs in youth with T2D is associated with decreased HbA1c levels, despite challenges with access and adherence. GLP-1RA treatment may reduce insulin doses for youth with T2D.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Limited evidence exists to support any specific medication over others to prevent dementia in older patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We investigated whether treatment with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors is associated with a lower risk of incident dementia and all-cause mortality, relative to dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA). METHODS: In this retrospective, active-comparator cohort study, we used data from the TriNetX electronic health records network. Our primary cohort comprised patients with T2D aged ≥50 years, registered between January 2012 and December 2022. Patients with a history of dementia were excluded. We used Kaplan-Meier survival analysis to estimate the incidence of dementia and all-cause mortality in our cohort after they had used glucose-lowering drugs for at least 12 months. Propensity score matching was performed to balance the SGLT-2 inhibitor, DPP-4 inhibitor and GLP-1 RA cohorts. Subgroup analyses for sex and age were also conducted. RESULTS: Our first cohort comprised 193 948 patients treated with metformin and SGLT-2 inhibitors and an equal number of patients treated with metformin and DPP-4 inhibitors. In this cohort, the risk of dementia and all-cause mortality was lower in patients treated with SGLT-2 inhibitors than in those treated with DPP-4 inhibitors (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.62, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.59-0.65, for dementia; HR: 0.54, 95% CI: 0.52-0.56, for all-cause mortality). Our second cohort comprised 165 566 patients treated with metformin and SGLT-2 inhibitors and an equal number of patients treated with metformin and GLP-1 RAs. In this cohort, the risk of dementia and all-cause mortality was lower in those treated with SGLT-2 inhibitors than in those treated with GLP-1 RAs (HR: 0.92, 95% CI: 0.87-0.98, for dementia; HR: 0.88, 95% CI: 0.85-0.91, for all-cause mortality). CONCLUSIONS: The use of SGLT-2 inhibitor was associated with a lower risk of incident dementia and all-cause mortality in older adults with T2D compared to DPP-4 inhibitor and GLP-1 RA.

RESUMO

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) medications have been shown to be effective in achieving optimal glucose control and reducing all-cause death, cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, hospitalization for heart failure, and end-stage kidney disease in individuals with type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, use of these medications has been associated with increased hypoglycaemia risk in patients treated with concomitant antihyperglycaemic medications. The risk is particularly high in patients with T1D due to their loss of glucagon counter-regulatory response. This article reviews the effect of GLP-1RA formulations on the development of hypoglycaemia in individuals with T1D and T2D treated with insulin therapy, discusses the benefits of continuous glucose monitoring with GLP-1RA treatment, and presents strategies for safely initiating GLP-1RA therapy in these individuals.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The prevalent new user design extends the active comparator new user design to include patients switching to a treatment of interest from a comparator. We examined the impact of adding "switchers" to incident new users on the estimated hazard ratio (HR) of hospitalized heart failure. METHODS: Using MarketScan claims data (2000-2014), we estimated HRs of hospitalized heart failure between patients initiating GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) and sulfonylureas (SU). We considered three estimands: (1) the effect of incident new use; (2) the effect of switching; and (3) the effect of incident new use or switching, combining the two population. We used time-conditional propensity scores (TCPS) and time-stratified standardized morbidity ratio (SMR) weighting to adjust for confounding. RESULTS: We identified 76 179 GLP-1 RA new users, of which 12% were direct switchers (within 30 days) from SU. Among incident new users, GLP-1 RA was protective against heart failure (adjHRSMR = 0.74 [0.69, 0.80]). Among switchers, GLP-1 RA was not protective (adjHRSMR = 0.99 [0.83, 1.18]). Results in the combined population were largely driven by the incident new users, with GLP-1 RA having a protective effect (adjHRSMR = 0.77 [0.72, 0.83]). Results using TCPS were consistent with those estimated using SMR weighting. CONCLUSIONS: When analyses were conducted only among incident new users, GLP-1 RA had a protective effect. However, among switchers from SU to GLP-1 RA, the effect estimates substantially shifted toward the null. Combining patients with varying treatment histories can result in poor confounding control and camouflage important heterogeneity.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Over half of Americans and up to 78% of US Veteran population meet criteria for obesity. Perioperatively placed intragastric balloon (IGB) can accelerate weight loss goals for safe surgical candidacy, however weight regain is common after removal. Glucagon-like peptide-1-receptor agonists (GLP1RA) may provide a more sustainable weight loss solution after surgery. We hypothesize that weight regain will be less at 1 year after initiation of GLP1RA than IGB placement in Veterans. METHODS: Retrospective review of prospective databases of perioperatively placed intragastric balloon cohort from 1/2019-1/2023 compared to patients who received initiatory GLP1RA from 6/2021-8/2022 at a VA Medical Center(VAMC). All patients were enrolled in the VAMC MOVE! multidisciplinary weight management program for a minimum of 12 weeks. Outcomes measured were patients' weights at 0, 3, 6, and 12 months and weight change for these intervals. Exclusion criteria included history of bariatric surgery and incomplete weight loss data. RESULTS: Two-hundred-twenty-three patients met inclusion criteria; 110 (49%) patients excluded. Mean age was 54 ± 11 years, the majority (78, 69%) were male, and the mean initial BMI was 37 ± 5.9 kg/m2. Seventeen (15%) patients underwent IGB placement and 96 (85%) patients received semaglutide. Weight (kg) change was measured at intervals: 0-3 months:- 11.8(- 17,- 9.5) IGB vs. - 5.1(- 7.4,- 2.3) semaglutide, p < 0.0001; 0-6 months:- 12.7(- 18.4,- 9.9) vs. - 9.4(- 12.6,- 6.1), p = 0.03; 3-6 months:- 0.5(- 2.3,2.3) vs. - 4.3(- 6.8,- 1.6), p < 0.0001; 6-12 months:3(0,7.3) vs. - 1.9(- 4.7,1), p = 0.0006. CONCLUSION: Weight loss occurs more rapidly in the first 6 months after intragastric balloon placement compared to semaglutide (- 12.7 vs. - 9.4 kg, p = 0.03). Despite ongoing attendance in a comprehensive weight loss program, weight regain is common after IGB removal by an average of 3 kg (23.6%) at 1 year. In contrast, patients on GLP1RA (semaglutide) continue to lose weight during this period. Further studies are needed to determine if optimal long-term outcomes may result from combination therapy with intragastric balloon and semaglutide.
