Comparison of the glucagon-like-peptide-1 receptor agonists dulaglutide and liraglutide for the management of diabetes in solid organ transplant: A retrospective study.

ABSTRACT: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are gaining popularity in the management of diabetes in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. There are no studies available comparing the two GLP-1RAs dulaglutide and liraglutide in SOT. We performed a retrospective chart review to assess the safety and effectiveness of these agents in adult SOT with diabetes at 6, 12 and 24 months. There were 63 and 25 recipients on dulaglutide and liraglutide, respectively. There was a sustained reduction in primary endpoints of weight, BMI and insulin requirement with dulaglutide when compared to liraglutide. Decrease in weight was 2%, 4% and 5.2% with dulaglutide and 0.09%, 0.87% and 0.89% with liraglutide at 6, 12 and 24 months respectively. BMI reduction followed the same trend in the two groups. The percentage reduction for insulin was 26% with dulaglutide and 3.6% with liraglutide. There was a 10% reduction in creatinine and a 15% increase in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at the end of 24 months with dulaglutide. However, there was an increase in creatinine by 7% and an 8% decrease in eGFR at the end of 24 months with liraglutide.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Dulaglutide is a new, long-acting glucagon-like peptide analogue in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It is available in two doses, 0.75 and 1.5 mg, given by injection once weekly. This systematic review reports the effectiveness and safety of dulaglutide in type 2 diabetes in dual and triple therapy. METHODS:MEDLINE, MEDLINE In-Process and Other Non-Indexed Citations, EMBASE, and conference abstracts were searched from 2005 to August 2014, and updated in January 2015. Company websites and references of included studies were checked for potentially relevant studies. European Medicines Agency and US Food and Drug Administration websites were searched. RESULTS:Four trials were included. All were manufacturer-funded randomized controlled trials from the Assessment of Weekly Administration of Dulaglutide in Diabetes (AWARD) program. AWARD-1 compared dulaglutide 1.5 mg against exenatide 10 µg twice daily and placebo, AWARD-2 compared dulaglutide 0.75 and 1.5 mg against insulin glargine, AWARD-5 compared dulaglutide 0.75 and 1.5 mg against sitagliptin 100 mg and placebo, and AWARD-6 compared dulaglutide 1.5 mg against liraglutide 1.8 mg. The duration of follow-up in the trials ranged from 26 to 104 weeks. The primary outcome of all the included trials was change in HbA1c. At 26 weeks, greater HbA1c reductions were seen with dulaglutide than with twice daily exenatide (dulaglutide 1.5/0.75 mg: -1.5%/-1.3%; exe: 0.99%) and sitagliptin (1.5/0.75 mg -1.22%/-1.01%; sitagliptin: -0.6%). HbA1c change was greater with dulaglutide 1.5 mg (-1.08%) than with glargine (-0.63%), but not with dulaglutide 0.75 mg (-0.76%). Dulaglutide 1.5 mg was found to be noninferior to liraglutide 1.8 mg. More patients treated with dulaglutide achieved HbA1c targets of <7% and ≤6.5%. Reduction in weight was greater with dulaglutide than with sitagliptin and exenatide. Hypoglycemia was infrequent. The main adverse events were nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. CONCLUSION:Dulaglutide is effective in the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes but we need long follow-up data for safety concerns.

Project description:BackgroundLife-long immunosuppressive treatment after liver transplantation (LT) prevents graft rejection but predisposes the LT recipient to infections. Herpesvirus infections are associated with morbidity and mortality among LT recipients. Among those, especially cytomegalovirus (CMV) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV) pose challenges after LT. The aim of this study is to provide an in-depth characterization of the cellular immune response against CMV and VZV infections in LT recipients and identify potential risk factors for infection.MethodsThe Herpesvirus Infections in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients - Liver Transplant Study (HISTORY) consists of an epidemiological and immunological substudy. The epidemiological substudy is a retrospective observational cohort study that includes all patients who underwent LT in Denmark between 2010 and 2023 (N ≈ 500). Using data from nationwide hospital records and national health registries, the incidence of and clinical risk factors for CMV and VZV infections will be determined. The immunological substudy is an explorative prospective observational cohort study including patients enlisted for LT in Denmark during a 1.5-year period (N > 80). Participants will be followed with scheduled blood samples until 12 months after LT. CMV- and VZV-derived peptides will be predicted for their likelihood to be presented in participants based on their HLA type. Peptide-MHC complexes (pMHC) will be produced to isolate CMV- and VZV-specific T cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells before and after CMV and VZV infection. Their frequency, T cell receptor sequences, and phenotypic characteristics will be examined, and in a subset of participants, CMV- and VZV-specific T cells will be expanded ex vivo.DiscussionThis study will provide novel insight into T cell immunity required for viral control of CMV and VZV and has the potential to develop a prediction model to identify LT recipients at high risk for infection based on a combination of clinical and immunological data. Furthermore, this study has the potential to provide proof-of-concept for adoptive T cell therapy against CMV and VZV. Combined, this study has the potential to reduce the burden and consequence of CMV and VZV infections and improve health and survival in LT recipients.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05532540), registered 8 September 2022.
