Project description:IntroductionThe impact of reduction of systolic blood pressure or body weight on reduction of cardiovascular events during the treatment with glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) or sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) for type 2 diabetes is unclear.MethodsWe searched Embase and PubMed. We performed meta-analysis using hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) as effect size stratified by drug class on six endpoints of interest, which were major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), hospitalization for heart failure (HHF), cardiovascular death (CVD), myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and all-cause death (ACD). We performed meta-regression to assess the difference between GLP-1RAs and SGLT2is, and the impact of reduction of systolic blood pressure or body weight on reduction of cardiovascular events.ResultsWe included 11 randomized trials. Compared with placebo, SGLT2is reduced HHF by 32% (HR 0.68, 95% CI 0.60-0.76) whereas GLP-1RAs reduced HHF by only 9% (HR 0.91, 95% CI 0.83-0.99). The benefit from SGLT2is on HHF was significantly greater than that from GLP-1RAs (Psubgroup = 0.004). GLP-1RAs reduced stroke by 16% (HR 0.84, 95% CI 0.76-0.93) whereas SGLT2is did not reduce stroke (HR 0.96, 95% CI 0.82-1.12). GLP-1RAs and SGLT2is similarly reduced MACE by 12%, CVD by 15%, MI by 9%, and ACD by 13%. The effects of systolic blood pressure reduction and body weight reduction on the logarithms of HRs of GLP-1RAs or SGLT2is vs. placebo as for reducing six endpoints of interest were not statistically significant (β ranged from - 0.145 to 0.269, and P ranged from 0.211 to 0.941).ConclusionsGLP-1RAs and SGLT2is lead to similar benefits on MACE, CVD, MI, and ACD in adults with type 2 diabetes. The benefit from SGLT2is on HHF is greater than that from GLP-1RAs, while GLP-1RAs vs. placebo significantly reduce stroke whereas SGLT2is do not. The two drug classes reduce cardiovascular events independent of reductions of systolic blood pressure and body weight.

Project description:Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is closely associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including atherosclerosis, hypertension and heart failure. Some anti-diabetic medications are linked with an increased risk of weight gain or hypoglycemia which may reduce the efficacy of the intended anti-hyperglycemic effects of these therapies. The recently developed receptor agonists for glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1RAs), stimulate insulin secretion and reduce glycated hemoglobin levels without having side effects such as weight gain and hypoglycemia. In addition, GLP1-RAs demonstrate numerous cardiovascular protective effects in subjects with or without diabetes. There have been several cardiovascular outcomes trials (CVOTs) involving GLP-1RAs, which have supported the overall cardiovascular benefits of these drugs. GLP1-RAs lower plasma lipid levels and lower blood pressure (BP), both of which contribute to a reduction of atherosclerosis and reduced CVD. GLP-1R is expressed in multiple cardiovascular cell types such as monocyte/macrophages, smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells, and cardiomyocytes. Recent studies have indicated that the protective properties against endothelial dysfunction, anti-inflammatory effects on macrophages and the anti-proliferative action on smooth muscle cells may contribute to atheroprotection through GLP-1R signaling. In the present review, we describe the cardiovascular effects and underlying molecular mechanisms of action of GLP-1RAs in CVOTs, animal models and cultured cells, and address how these findings have transformed our understanding of the pharmacotherapy of T2DM and the prevention of CVD.

Project description:Lin et al. recently did a network meta-analysis based on cardiovascular (CV) outcome trials (CVOTs) of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) and those of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RAs). Due to the absence of CVOTs directly comparing SGLT2is with GLP1RAs, Lin et al.'s network meta-analysis identified the indirect evidence that SGLT2is vs. GLP1RAs reduced hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) but did not reduce CV death and all-cause mortality (ACM) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We did another meta-analysis incorporating those CV outcome cohort studies directly comparing SGLT2is with GLP1RAs, and identified that SGLT2is vs. GLP1RAs were significantly associated with the lower risks of not only HHF but also CV death and ACM. These findings may suggest that SGLT2is should be considered over GLP1RAs in terms of preventing CV and all-cause death and HHF in T2D patients.

Project description:Aims/hypothesisThe aim of this study was to investigate racial and ethnic disparities in the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor antagonists (GLP-1RAs) among older adults with type 2 diabetes and cardiorenal conditions.MethodsUsing Medicare fee-for-service data (2013-2019), this retrospective cohort study identified older adults (≥65 years) with type 2 diabetes initiating second-line therapies (SGLT2is, GLP1-RAs, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors [DPP4is] and sulfonylureas [SUs]) with (1) heart failure (HF), (2) atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), (3) chronic kidney disease (CKD) and (4) no recorded cardiorenal conditions. Participants were classified as non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic. Multinomial regressions, adjusting for sociodemographic, clinical and county-level characteristics, were used to model the odds of initiating SGLT2is or GLP-1RAs within each cohort.ResultsBlack participants with HF, ASCVD, CKD or no recorded cardiorenal conditions had 35% (adjusted OR 0.65 [95% CI 0.61, 0.68]), 33% (0.67 [0.64, 0.69]), 32% (0.68 [0.64, 0.72]) and 24% (0.76 [0.74, 0.79]) lower odds of initiating SGLT2is, respectively, than White participants. Disparities ameliorated from 50-60% lower odds in 2013 to 17-18% in 2019. Similar patterns were observed for GLP-1RA uptake among Black participants. By contrast, Hispanic participants had similar odds of SGLT2i initiation in the HF and CKD cohorts as White participants, but 6% (0.94 [0.91, 0.98]) lower odds in the ASCVD cohort. Notable disparities for Hispanic participants compared with White participants were observed for GLP-1RA uptake in the HF, ASCVD, CKD and no cardiorenal conditions cohorts: 11% (0.89 [0.84, 0.94]), 16% (0.84 [0.81, 0.87]), 16% (0.84 [0.80, 0.89]) and 25% (0.75 [0.72, 0.78]) lower odds, respectively. Participants had greater odds than White participants of initiating DPP4is, which confer no cardiorenal benefits, across all cohorts (HF 1.25 [1.19, 1.31]; ASCVD 1.36 [1.32, 1.40]; CKD 1.32 [1.26, 1.38). Adjustment for social determinants of health did not meaningfully change the study findings.Conclusions/interpretationCompared with White participants, disparities in the uptake of SGLT2is were evident for Black participants, and in the uptake of GLP-1RAs for both Black and Hispanic participants. This study highlights how type 2 diabetes management is evolving, while underscoring historical imbalances that have shown signs of abatement.

Project description:Due to their cardiovascular protective effect, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) represent breakthrough therapies for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In this review article, we discuss the mechanistic and clinical synergies that make the combined use of GLP-1RAs and SGLT2is appealing in patients with T2DM. Overall, the presented cumulative evidence supports the benefits of GLP-1RA plus SGLT2i combination therapy on metabolic-cardiovascular-renal disease in patients with T2DM, with a low hypoglycemia risk. Accordingly, we encourage the adoption of GLP-1RA plus SGLT2i combination therapy in patients with T2DM and established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or multiple risk factors for ASCVD (i.e., age ≥ 55 years, overweight/obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, current tobacco use, left ventricular hypertrophy, and/or proteinuria). Regarding renal effects, the evidence of SGLT2is in preventing kidney failure is more abundant than for GLP-1RAs, which showed a beneficial effect on albuminuria but not on hard kidney endpoints. Hence, in case of persistent albuminuria and/or uncontrolled metabolic risks (i.e., inadequate glycemic control, hypertension, overweight/obesity) on SGLT2i therapy, GLP-1RAs should be considered as the preferential add-on therapy in T2DM patients with chronic kidney disease. Despite the potential clinical benefits of GLP-1RA plus SGLT2i combination therapy in patients with T2DM, several factors may delay this combination to become a common practice soon, such as reimbursement and costs associated with polypharmacy. Altogether, when administering GLP-1RA plus SGLT2i combination therapy, it is important to adopt an individualized approach to therapy taking into account individual preferences, costs and coverage, toxicity profile, consideration of kidney function and glucose-lowering efficacy, desire for weight loss, and comorbidities.

Project description:Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) have a substantial risk of developing cardiovascular disease. The strong connection between the severity of hyperglycaemia, metabolic changes secondary to T2DM and vascular damage increases the risk of macrovascular complications. There is a challenging demand for the development of drugs that control hyperglycaemia and influence other metabolic risk factors to improve cardiovascular outcomes such as cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina and heart failure (major adverse cardiovascular events). In recent years, introduction of the new drug class of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) has changed the treatment landscape as GLP-1RAs have become well-established therapies in T2DM. The benefits of GLP-1RAs are derived from their pleiotropic effects, which include appetite control, glucose-dependent secretion of insulin and inhibition of glucagon secretion. Importantly, their beneficial effects extend to the cardiovascular system. Large clinical trials have evaluated the cardiovascular effects of GLP-1RAs in patients with T2DM and elevated risk of cardiovascular disease and the results are very promising. However, important aspects still require elucidation, such as the specific mechanisms involved in the cardioprotective effects of these drugs. Careful interpretation is necessary because of the heterogeneity across the trials concerning the definition of cardiovascular risk or cardiovascular disease, baseline characteristics, routine care and event rates. The aim of this review is to describe the main clinical aspects of the GLP-1RAs, compare them using data from both the mechanistic and randomized controlled trials and discuss potential reasons for improved cardiovascular outcomes observed in these trials. This review may help clinicians to decide which treatment is most appropriate in reducing cardiovascular risk in patients with T2DM.

Project description:ObjectiveThis study aimed to explore the risk factors for gastrointestinal side effects (GISEs) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) during treatment with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) based on real-world data and to develop a prediction model for GLP-1RA-related GISEs.MethodsA total of 855 patients who attended the First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University from January 2020 to May 2023 were selected as the study participants, who were divided into the training set (598 cases) and the validation set (297 cases) using a simple random sampling method at a ratio of 7:3. The general information and biochemical indicators of the participants were collected to assess the risk factors for GLP-1RA-related GISEs, and multifactorial logistic regression analysis was used to obtain the best predictors. A nomogram prediction model was constructed. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test was used to assess the differentiation and calibration of the nomogram model, and decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to evaluate the clinical utility of the model.ResultsAge, gender, history of gastrointestinal disorders, and number of combined oral medications were found as risk factors for the occurrence of GISEs in patients with T2DM using GLP-1RAs (p < 0.05). The nomogram prediction model based on these four factors had good discriminability (AUC values of the training and validation sets of 0.855 and 0.836, respectively) and accuracy (Hosmer-Lemeshow test: p > 0.05 for the validation set). DCA showed that the prediction model curve had clinical utility in the threshold probability interval of >5%.ConclusionsThe established nomogram model has an excellent predictive effect on GISEs induced by GLP-1RAs in patients with T2DM.

Project description:BackgroundGlucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) significantly reduce postprandial blood glucose, inhibit appetite, and delay gastrointestinal emptying. However, it is controversial that some patients are intolerant to GLP-1RAs.MethodsPubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using GLP-1RAs with documented withdrawal due to gastrointestinal adverse reactions (GI AEs) from their inception to September 28, 2022. After extracting the information incorporated into the studies, a random-effects network meta-analysis was performed within a frequentist framework.Results64 RCTs were finally enrolled, which included six major categories of the GLP-1RA. The sample size of the GLP-1RAs treatment group was 16,783 cases. The risk of intolerable gastrointestinal adverse reactions of Liraglutide and Semaglutide was higher than that of Dulaglutide. Meanwhile, the higher the dose of the same GLP-1RA preparation, the more likely to cause these adverse reactions. These intolerable GI AEs were not significantly related to drug homology or formulations and may be related to the degree of suppression of the appetite center.ConclusionDulaglutide caused the lowest intolerable GI AEs, while Liraglutide and Semaglutide were the highest. For Semaglutide, the higher the dose, the more likely it is to drive GI AEs. Meanwhile, the risk of these GI AEs is independent of the different formulations of the drug. All these findings can effectively guide individualized treatment.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42022359346, identifier CRD42022359346.

Project description:BackgroundThe number of obese people continues to increase worldwide, and obesity-related complications add to every country's health burden. Consequently, new weight-loss medications, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), are attracting increasing attention. This study sought to assess the cost effectiveness for weight loss of 4 GLP-1RAs in adult patients with obesity in the United States.MethodsFour GLP-1RA groups that received Liraglutide (1.8 mg QD), Semaglutide (1.0 mg QW), Dulaglutide (1.5 mg QW), or Exenatide (10 μg BID), and one no-treatment group were compared using a decision-tree model. All the estimated parameters were derived from published articles. Quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), costs, and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) were adopted as the study endpoints. We analyzed the results with the willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold, and conducted deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses.ResultsThe GLP-1RAs produced effective weight-loss results; however, not all the GLP-1RAs were cost effective compared to no treatment based on a WTP threshold of $195000/QALY. Among the 4 GLP-1RAs, Semaglutide provided a cost-effective strategy with an ICER of $135467/QALY. The sensitivity analyses showed that these results are reliable.ConclusionsAmong the 4 GLP-1RAs, Semaglutide was the most cost-effective obesity medication.
