Efficacy and safety of lixisenatide in patients with type 2 diabetes and renal impairment.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

This post hoc assessment evaluated the efficacy and safety of once-daily, prandial glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist lixisenatide in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and normal renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥90 mL/min), or mild (60-89 mL/min) or moderate (30-59 mL/min) renal impairment.

Methods

Patients from 9 lixisenatide trials in the GetGoal clinical trial programme were categorized by baseline creatinine clearance: normal renal function (lixisenatide n = 2094, placebo n = 1150); renal impairment (mild: lixisenatide n = 637, placebo n = 414; moderate: lixisenatide n = 122, placebo n = 68). Meta-analyses of placebo-adjusted mean differences between baseline renal categories were performed for efficacy and safety outcomes.
