ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Dulaglutide is a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist that is not cleared by the kidneys and has proven efficacy and safety in patients with diabetic kidney disease. We aimed to evaluate the 1-year efficacy of dulaglutide in patients with diabetic kidney disease who have used the drug for more than 1 year.METHODS:
This retrospective, observational study comprised 131 patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 who had received dulaglutide for more than one year between June 2016 and May 2023. The primary outcome measures were changes in glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and body weight from baseline to the 12-month follow-up, with assessments performed at six-month intervals. Subgroup analyses were conducted based on age, sex, baseline body mass index, FPG, and HbA1c, and insulin administration at baseline and last follow-up.FINDINGS:
The mean age was 60.0 ± 10.2 years, and 61.1% of the participants were males. Baseline HbA1c, FPG, and body weight were 9.1% (76.0 mmol/mol), 186.8 mg/dL, and 79.3 kg, respectively. Dulaglutide significantly reduced HbA1c, FPG, and body weight from baseline to the 12-month follow-up (mean ± standard error -1.2 ± 0.1%, -34.8 ± 6.9 mg/dL, and -2.3 ± 0.5 kg, respectively; P < 0.001). Subgroup analysis revealed significant differences in HbA1c reduction based on baseline HbA1c. IMPLICATIONS Dulaglutide exhibited sustained glucose-lowering and weight-reduction effects during the initial 1 year of treatment in patients with diabetic kidney disease. Altogether, dulaglutide could serve as a favorable long-term therapeutic option for patients with diabetic kidney disease in real-world clinical settings.
