Abstract

Introduction: A slower adoption rate of fixed dose combinations (FDC) in diabetes management is partly due to insufficient data. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of an FDC of dapagliflozin + sitagliptin + metformin hydrochloride extended release (XR), compared to a dual FDC of sitagliptin + metformin hydrochloride XR among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with poor glycemic control when treated with metformin monotherapy.

Methods: A total of 274 patients with T2DM were randomized (1:1) to either arm X, receiving FDC of dapagliflozin (10 mg) + sitagliptin (100 mg) + metformin hydrochloride XR (1000 mg) (Dapa + Sita + Met) tablets, or arm Y, receiving sitagliptin phosphate (100 mg) + metformin hydrochloride XR (1000 mg) (Sita + Met) tablets, and treated for 16 weeks. The outcome measures included changes in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)(%), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-h post-prandial glucose (PPG), weight, and the proportion of patients achieving target HbA1c levels of < 7.0% by week 16 of the study period.

Results: The reduction in HbA1c at week 16 was significantly higher in arm X than in arm Y [estimated treatment difference (ETD), - 0.65% (95% CI - 0.76 to - 0.53; P < 0.0001)]. Arm X showed a marked decrease in FPG [ETD - 15.42 mg/dl; 95% CI (17.63, 13.22; P < 0.0001)], PPG [ETD - 30.39 mg/dl; 95% CI (35.59, 25.19; P < 0.0001)], and weight [ETD - 1.47 kg; 95% CI (1.59, 1.28; P < 0.0001)] after 16 weeks. In arm X, 54% of patients reached HbA1c < 7.0% compared to 29.9% in arm Y. The incidence of adverse events was comparable [13.14% (arm X) vs 12.4% (arm Y)]. There was no severe hypoglycemia-led treatment discontinuation.

Conclusion: Among patients with T2DM who have poor glycemic control with metformin monotherapy, triple FDC (Dapa + Sita + Met) effectively helped achieve better glycemic response compared to dual FDC (Sita + Met), with a comparable safety and tolerability profile.

期刊介绍： Advances in Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all therapeutic areas. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged. The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Advances in Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
