Abstract
Purpose
This meta-analysis sought to assess the relationship between dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4) and the risk of pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer by synthesizing data from randomized, controlled trials, in light of the conflicting findings from observational studies and previous meta-analyses.
Methods
Cochrane, Embase, ClinicalTrials.gov, and PubMed databases that compared the use of DPP-4 inhibitors and that reported pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer events in patients with diabetes mellitus Type 2 (T2DM) were searched using specific terms. Studies were included if they satisfied the following inclusion criteria: They were randomized trials comparing DPP-4 inhibitors use in patients with T2DM; The study's duration was longer than 24 weeks; And they reported pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer events. Stata 15 MP was used to analyze the data, and odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to represent the results.
Findings
A total of 81,737 participants with T2DM were included in the analysis. The results showed that during a mean follow-up period of 24 to 520 weeks, The use of DPP-4 inhibitors was not associated with an increased risk of pancreatitis (Peto-OR 0.97; 95% CI: 0.74, 1.27) or pancreatic cancer (Peto-OR = 0.88; 95% CI: 0.59, 1.30).
Implications
Current evidence fails to validate a significant correlation between DPP-4 therapy and pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer. However, subgroup analyses showed that sitagliptin was associated with a significant reduction in pancreatitis risk compared to the control group; furthermore, when comparing different types of control medications, a significant decrease in pancreatic cancer risk was observed among DPP-4 users compared to GLP-1 users.
