Analyses of Results From Cardiovascular Safety Trials With DPP-4 Inhibitors: Cardiovascular Outcomes, Predefined Safety Outcomes, and Pooled Analysis and Meta-analysis

Abstract: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires that the cardiovascular (CV) safety of all new drugs for diabetes be demonstrated through pooled analyses of phase III studies or specifically designed trials. This requirement prompted several placebo-controlled, noninferiority CV safety trials in high-risk patients; to date, all completed trials showed that dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitors do not increase or reduce the risk of major CV events. These results apparently contrast with those of pooled analyse… Show more

“…Thus, despite the large number of clinical variables measured in these trials, specific inflammatory parameters such as circulating cytokines or CRP are not present in the list of dosed markers. This is conceivably explained by the high cost required to complete this kind of trial; at least 611 CV events must be recorded to provide significant data . However, data from animal models have suggested a strong anti‐inflammatory effect of SGLT2 inhibitors.…”

For instance, diabetic rats treated with empagliflozin showed decreased inflammation, as evidenced by MCP-1 downregulation in the rat aorta.…”

“…Indeed, composite exposure to albiglutide and placebo at phase 2/3 was not very different from that in Harmony Outcome [37]. However, the number of people with MACE events was just 105 (HR 0.99 [95% CI 0.65, 1.49]), emphasising (as has been shown with rosiglitazone and DPP4 inhibitors) how phase 2/3 studies with low numbers can give misleading findings for CV outcomes [6,38].…”

“…The physiological function of GLP-1 is complicated. It is thought to reduce blood glucose by stimulating insulin, controlling glucagon, inhibiting gastric emptying and promoting islet cell regeneration (1214). GLP-1 can also secrete glucagon and the decomposition of hepatic glycogen by reducing pancreas cell function to promote blood glucose into liver and skeletal muscle, thereby compounding glycogen that is reserved for blood glucose regulation (15,16).…”
