Given that their antihyperglycemic mechanism of action is independent of endogenous insulin secretion and that the observed cardio-renal benefits are unrelated to their glucose-lowering properties, one can speculate that the use of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) could provide benefits in T1D, similar to the ones observed among individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and heart failure.

The primary objective of this study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of ISIS 449884 as an add-on to metformin in a population of Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).</p><p><strong>Method: </strong>This was a multicenter, placebo-controlled (2:1), randomized, double-blind, parallel-enrollment, multiple-dose phase II study in Chinese patients with T2DM. A total of 90 patients who were uncontrolled by stable metformin monotherapy were randomized into three cohorts. Thirty subjects were enrolled in each cohort and received injections of ISIS 449884 (50 mg or 60 mg weekly or 100 mg every other week) or a corresponding volume of placebo (0.25 mL and 0.3 mL weekly or 0.5 mL every other week) subcutaneously in a 2:1 ratio for 16 weeks.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The primary efficacy endpoint was analyzed in 88 subjects (ISIS 449884, n = 59; placebo, n = 29). The corrected LS mean change from baseline in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) at week 17 in the pooled ISIS 449884 treatment group was - 1.31% (95% CI - 1.66%, - 0.96%), and that in the pooled placebo group was 0.15% (95% CI - 0.37%, 0.66%). The LS mean difference between the two groups was - 1.46% (95% CI - 1.92%, - 1.00%, P < 0.001). Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) occurred in 53/60 subjects (88.3%) and 25/30 subjects (83.3%) in the pooled ISIS 449884 treatment group and the pooled placebo group, respectively, with similar incidences. Drug-related TEAEs occurred in 41/60 subjects (68.3%) and 9/30 subjects (30.0%), respectively.
