Abstract
Introduction
In adults, sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitors have revolutionised the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease.
Objective
We aimed to review information on compassionate use, clinical pharmacology, efficacy, and safety of dapagliflozin and empagliflozin in children.
Methods
We conducted a systematic review of published clinical trials, case reports, and observational studies in Medline, Excerpta Medica, and Web of Science databases from inception to September 2023. For the two randomised controlled trials on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), we implemented a meta-analysis on the primary outcome (mean difference in glycosylated haemoglobin [HbA1c] between intervention and placebo groups). Review Manager (RevMan), version 5.4.1, was used for this purpose.
Results
Thirty-five articles (nine case reports, ten case series, one prospective non-controlled trial, four controlled randomised trials, two surveys, six pharmacokinetic studies, and three pharmacovigilance studies) were selected, in which 415 children were exposed to either dapagliflozin or empagliflozin: 189 diabetic patients (mean age 14.7 ± 2.9 years), 32 children with glycogen storage disease type Ib (GSD Ib), glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit 3 (G6PC3) deficiency, or severe congenital neutropenia type 4 (8.5 ± 5.1 years), 47 children with kidney disease or heart failure (11.2 ± 6.1 years), 84 patients in pharmacokinetic studies (15.1 ± 2.3 years), and 63 patients in toxicological series. The effect of dapagliflozin and empagliflozin in T2DM was demonstrated by HbA1c reduction in two randomised trials among a total of 177 adolescents, with a mean HbA1c difference of -0.82% (95% confidence interval -1.34 to -0.29) as compared to placebo (no heterogeneity, I2 = 0%). Dosage ranged between 5 and 20 mg (mean 11.4 ± 3.7) once daily for dapagliflozin and between 5 and 25 mg (mean 15.4 ± 7.4) once daily for empagliflozin. Among the paediatric cases of GSD Ib, empagliflozin 0.1–1.3 mg/kg/day improved neutropenia, infections, and gastrointestinal health. Dapagliflozin (mean dosage 6.9 ± 5.2 mg once daily) was well-tolerated in children with chronic kidney disease and heart failure. Side effects were generally mild, the most frequent being hypoglycaemia in children with GSD Ib (33% of patients) or T2DM (14% of patients) on concomitant hypoglycaemic drugs. Diabetic ketoacidosis is rare in children.
Conclusion
Early evidence suggests that dapagliflozin and empagliflozin are well tolerated in children. A clinical pharmacology rationale currently exists only for adolescents with diabetes mellitus.
期刊介绍:
Pediatric Drugs promotes the optimization and advancement of all aspects of pharmacotherapy for healthcare professionals interested in pediatric drug therapy (including vaccines). The program of review and original research articles provides healthcare decision makers with clinically applicable knowledge on issues relevant to drug therapy in all areas of neonatology and the care of children and adolescents. The Journal includes:
-overviews of contentious or emerging issues.
-comprehensive narrative reviews of topics relating to the effective and safe management of drug therapy through all stages of pediatric development.
-practical reviews covering optimum drug management of specific clinical situations.
-systematic reviews that collate empirical evidence to answer a specific research question, using explicit, systematic methods as outlined by the PRISMA statement.
-Adis Drug Reviews of the properties and place in therapy of both newer and established drugs in the pediatric population.
-original research articles reporting the results of well-designed studies with a strong link to clinical practice, such as clinical pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic studies, clinical trials, meta-analyses, outcomes research, and pharmacoeconomic and pharmacoepidemiological studies.
Additional digital features (including animated abstracts, video abstracts, slide decks, audio slides, instructional videos, infographics, podcasts and animations) can be published with articles; these are designed to increase the visibility, readership and educational value of the journal’s content. In addition, articles published in Pediatric Drugs may be accompanied by plain language summaries to assist readers who have some knowledge of, but not in-depth expertise in, the area to understand important medical advances.
