Abstract

Aims

To investigate real-world treatment adherence and persistence in people with type 2 diabetes newly initiating oral semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA), or a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP-4i).

Methods

This retrospective cohort study used the Merative™ MarketScan® Commercial and Medicare databases. Index date was the first fill for the cohort medication. Adherence was defined as proportion of days covered (PDC) over the 12-month post-index period (‘adherent’ = ≥0.8). Persistence was number of days until discontinuation, based on a 45-day gap. Results were compared between cohorts using inverse probability treatment weighting.

Results

Oral semaglutide (n=5485) and DPP-4i (n=4980) cohorts had similar percentages of people who were adherent (PDC ≥0.8; 41.6 % vs. 42.9 %; P = 0.182) and persistent for ≥9 months (45.0 % vs. 46.3 %; P = 0.185). The DPP-4i cohort used significantly more anti-diabetic medication (ADM) classes over the post-index period (mean±SD: 2.6±1.0 vs. 2.9±1.1, P < 0.001), with 23.2 % filling a GLP-1 RA in the post-period.

Conclusions

Adherence and persistence were similar between cohorts. However, there are potential benefits to prescribing oral semaglutide over DPP-4is, including reduced need for additional ADM.

在美国真实环境中，新开始口服semaglutide与DPP-4is的2型糖尿病患者的依从性和持续性。

目的：调查新开始口服semaglutide、胰高血糖素样肽-1受体激动剂（GLP-1 RA）或二肽基肽酶-4抑制剂（DPP-4i）的2型糖尿病患者的实际治疗依从性和持续性：这项回顾性队列研究使用了 Merative™ MarketScan® 商业和医疗保险数据库。索引日期为队列药物的首次服用日期。依从性定义为指数后 12 个月内的覆盖天数比例 (PDC)（"依从性" = ≥0.8）。持续性是指停药前的天数，以 45 天的间隔为基础。采用反概率治疗加权法对各组间的结果进行比较：口服塞马鲁肽（n=5485）和DPP-4i（n=4980）队列中坚持治疗（PDC≥0.8；41.6% vs. 42.9%；P=0.182）和坚持治疗≥9个月（45.0% vs. 46.3%；P=0.185）的人数比例相似。DPP-4i队列在指数后期间使用的抗糖尿病药物（ADM）种类明显更多（平均值±SD：2.6±1.0 vs. 2.9±1.1，P <0.001），其中23.2%在指数后期间服用了GLP-1 RA：各组患者的依从性和持续性相似。然而，与 DPP-4is 相比，口服塞马鲁肽有潜在的益处，包括减少对额外 ADM 的需求。
