Efficacy and safety of monotherapy of sitagliptin compared with metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes

Abstract: Aim:To compare the efficacy and safety of monotherapy with sitagliptin and metformin in treatment-naïve patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: In a double-blind study, 1050 treatment-naïve patients (i.e. not taking an antihyperglycaemic agent for ≥16 weeks prior to study entry) with type 2 diabetes and an HbA 1c 6.5-9% were randomized (1:1) to treatment with once-daily sitagliptin 100 mg (N = 528) or twice-daily metformin 1000 mg (N = 522) for 24 weeks. Metformin was up-titrated from 500 to 2000 mg per day (o… Show more

“…The overall incidence of AEs was lower across groups in this study compared with previous studies (11-23); the reason for this observation, which has been seen with other AHAs (41,42), is not known but may be related to the characteristics of the study population. The pattern of specific AEs observed with CANA in this study was consistent with previous reports (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23), with a higher incidence of AEs related to the mechanism of SGLT2 inhibition (e.g., genital mycotic infections, volume depletion-related AEs, osmotic diuresis-related AEs) observed in all CANA treatment arms versus MET.…”

“…After the stratification of patients into three groups according to the degree of HbA1c reduction, candidate factors were listed and evaluated in relation to the glucose-lowering effect of sitagliptin. Baseline factors such as age, gender, duration of diabetes, BMI, co-prescribed OHA and the score for life-style assessment did not show significant relations to the reduction of HbA1c during 3 months of sitagliptin treatment, except for the baseline HbA1c level which was strongly correlated to it as previously reported [7,13]. In contrast, the reduction of PPG after one month could be a predictor for the forthcoming efficacy of sitaglitin because of its strong correlation to HbA1c reduction even after 3 months.…”

“…It is noteworthy to observe that in AWARD-3, the magnitude of HbA 1c change associated with both dulaglutide and metformin was smaller than generally reported in other monotherapy trials with the same compounds or other compounds of the GLP-1 receptor agonists class (10,(19)(20)(21)(22). The low mean HbA 1c at randomization (7.6% [60 mmol/mol]) in AWARD-3 was a likely contributor to this observation, as it is well established that interventioninduced HbA 1c changes are confounded by baseline glycemic status (23,24 HbA 1c targets with dulaglutide in AWARD-3 was comparable to that observed in both of these two studies.…”
