“…This finding was consistent with the overall dramatic rise in SGLT2i use in China. A real-world study which enrolled a total of 181,743 prescriptions of SGLT2i in China and showed the annual number of prescriptions of SGLT2i dramatically increased to approximately 140 folds from 2018 to 2021 [ 17 ]. The massive increase was closely associated with robust evidence showing the beneficial effects of SGLT2i in T2D with CVD.…”

Background This study aimed to investigate the association of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) use with cardiovascular (CV) clinical outcomes in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods Data of T2D patients hospitalized for ACS at Civil Aviation General Hospital from January 2019 to December 2022 were collected. Based on SGLT2i use or not, patients were stratified as SGLT2i group and SGLT2i-free group. A 1:1 nearest-neighbor propensity score-matched (PSM) was performed to adjust for the confounding factors and facilitate the robust comparisons between groups. The first occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) with 1 year follow-up, which consisted of CV death, all cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction or stroke, coronary revascularization or heart failure readmission, was assessed. Kaplan–Meier analysis and Cox regressions were conducted to evaluate the prognostic significance of SGLT2i use. Subgroup analyses were performed to assess the interaction between subgroups and SGLT2i use. Results A total of 925 patients were included, and the SGLT2i use increased from 9.9% in 2019 to 43.8% in 2022. 226 pairs were finally matched using the PSM model. During 1 year follow-up period, a total of 110 patients experienced MACE in the matched cohort, with a rate of 24.3%. Survival analyses showed cumulative incidence of MACE, CV death, and heart failure readmission in the SGLT2i group were significantly lower than the SGLT2i-free group. Additionally, the adjusted Cox analyses demonstrated that SGLT2i was associated with a 34.1% lower risk of MACE (HR 0.659, 95% CI 0.487–0.892, P = 0.007), which was primarily driven by a decrease in the risk of CV death by 12.0% (HR 0.880, 95% CI 0.7830.990, P = 0.033), and heart failure readmission by 45.5% (HR 0.545, 95% CI 0.332–0.893, P = 0.016). This MACE preventive benefit was consistent across different subgroups (P interaction > 0.05 for all comparisons). Conclusions In T2D patients with ACS, there was a clear increasing trend in SGLT2i use. SGLT2i was associated with a significantly lower risk of MACE, driven by the decrease in the risk of CV death, and heart failure readmission. Our study confirmed real-world use and efficacy of SGLT2i in a general T2D population with ACS.

“…In recent years, the prevalence of T2D as well as the incidence of CVD in diabetic populations have been rising rapidly in China (13)(14)(15). Meanwhile, the utilization of novel anti-hyperglycemic agents such as SGLT-2i, GLP-1RA, and DPP-4i has also rapidly increased among Chinese diabetic patients (16,17). These novel antihyperglycemic agents possess multiple pleiotropic effects, particularly, for SGLT-2i and GLP-1RA.…”

BackgroundA phenomenon known as legacy effect was observed that poor glycemic control at early stage of patients with newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D) increases the risk of subsequent cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Early use of some novel anti-hyperglycemic agents, such as sodium-glucose transport protein 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i), may attenuate this effect, but the evidence is limited.MethodsTwo retrospective cohorts of newly diagnosed T2D patients from 2010–2023 were assembled using the Yinzhou Regional Health Care Database (YRHCD) with different definitions of the early exposure period - the 1-year exposure cohort and 2-year exposure cohort, which were comprised of subjects who had HbA1c measurement data within 1 year and 2 years after their T2D diagnosis, respectively. Using Cox proportional hazards models, we examined the association between high HbA1c level (HbA1c>7%) during the early exposure period and the risk of subsequent CVD. This analysis was performed in the overall cohort and three subpopulations with different treatments during the early exposure period, including patients initiating SGLT-2i or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA), patients using dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i), and patients without using SGLT-2i, GLP-1RA, and DPP-4i. Besides, subgroup analyses were performed by stratifying patients into age <55 and ≥55 years.ResultsA total of 21,477 and 22,493 patients with newly diagnosed T2D were included in the two final cohorts. Compared with patients with mean HbA1c ≤ 7% during the early exposure period, those with HbA1c>7% had higher risks of incident CVD, with a HR of 1.165 (95%CI, 1.056–1.285) and 1.143 (95%CI, 1.044–1.252) in 1-year and 2-year exposure period cohort. Compared to non-users, in patients initiating SGLT-2i/GLP-1RA within 1 or 2 years after T2D diagnosis, higher HbA1c level at baseline was not associated with CVD in both two cohorts. In subgroup analyses, results were generally consistent with the main analysis.ConclusionsPoor glycemic control in the early stage of T2D increased later CVD risk in Chinese adults with newly diagnosed T2D. Compared to non-users, this association was smaller and non-significant in patients receiving SGLT-2i/GLP-1RA during the early stage of T2D, indicating early use of these drugs may have the potential to mitigate legacy effects of hyperglycemia.

Aims/hypothesis The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral semaglutide monotherapy vs placebo in a predominantly Chinese population with type 2 diabetes insufficiently controlled with diet and exercise alone. Methods The Peptide Innovation for Early Diabetes Treatment (PIONEER) 11 trial was a double-blind, randomised, Phase IIIa trial conducted across 52 sites in the China region (mainland China and Taiwan), Hungary, Serbia and Ukraine. Eligible participants were ≥18 years (≥20 years in Taiwan), had a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes with HbA1c 53–86 mmol/mol (7.0–10.0%) and were not receiving any glucose-lowering drugs. After a 4-week run-in period in which participants were treated with diet and exercise alone, those who fulfilled the randomisation criteria were randomised (1:1:1:1) using a web-based randomisation system to receive once-daily oral semaglutide 3 mg, 7 mg or 14 mg or placebo for 26 weeks (using a 4-week dose-escalation regimen for the higher doses). Randomisation was stratified according to whether participants were from the China region or elsewhere. The primary and confirmatory secondary endpoints were change from baseline to week 26 in HbA1c and body weight (kg), respectively. Safety was assessed in all participants exposed to at least one dose of the trial product. Results Between October 2019 and October 2021, a total of 774 participants were screened and 521 participants were randomised to oral semaglutide 3 mg (n=130), 7 mg (n=130), 14 mg (n=130) or placebo (n=131); most participants (92.5%, n=482) completed the trial, with 39 participants prematurely discontinuing treatment. The number of participants contributing to the trial analyses was based on the total number of participants who were randomised at the beginning of the trial. The majority of participants were male (63.7%), and the mean age of participants was 52 years. At baseline, mean HbA1c and body weight were 63 mmol/mol (8.0%) and 79.6 kg, respectively. Oral semaglutide resulted in significantly greater reductions in HbA1c than placebo at week 26 (p<0.001 for all doses). The estimated treatment differences (ETDs [95% CIs]) for oral semaglutide 3 mg, 7 mg and 14 mg vs placebo were –11 (–13, –9) mmol/mol, –16 (–18, –13) mmol/mol and –17 (–19, –15) mmol/mol, respectively. The corresponding ETDs in percentage points (95% CI) vs placebo were –1.0 (–1.2, –0.8), –1.4 (–1.6, –1.2) and –1.5 (–1.8, –1.3), respectively. Significantly greater reductions in body weight were also observed for oral semaglutide 7 mg and 14 mg than for placebo at week 26 (ETD [95% CI] –1.2 kg [–2.0 kg, –0.4 kg; p<0.01] and –2.0 kg [–2.8 kg, –1.2 kg; p<0.001], respectively), but not for oral semaglutide 3 mg (ETD [95% CI] –0.0 kg [–0.9 kg, 0.8 kg; not significant]). Similar reductions in HbA1c and body weight were observed in the Chinese subpopulation, which represented 74.9% of participants in the overall population. Adverse events (AEs) occurred in between 65.4% and 72.3% of participants receiving oral semaglutide (for all doses) and 57.3% of participants with placebo. Most AEs were mild to moderate in severity, with few serious AEs reported; the most commonly reported AEs were gastrointestinal-related and were more frequent with semaglutide (all doses) than with placebo. The proportion of AEs was slightly higher in the Chinese subpopulation. Conclusions/interpretation Oral semaglutide resulted in significantly greater reductions in HbA1c across all doses and in significant body weight reductions for the 7 mg and 14 mg doses when compared with placebo in predominantly Chinese participants with type 2 diabetes insufficiently controlled by diet and exercise alone. Oral semaglutide was generally well tolerated, with a safety profile consistent with that seen in the global PIONEER trials. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04109547.
