THE EVOLUTION OF CLINICAL TRIALS IN T2DM: FROM TARGETING A1C TO TARGETING CARDIOVASCULAR OUTCOMES

Transcription

1

2 Learning Objectives 1) Evaluate the interrelationship between diabetes, glycemic control, and cardiovascular disease. 2) Examine the evolution of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) drug development and factors leading to the requirement to evaluate cardiovascular safety for glucose lowering therapies. 3) Discuss new and emerging cardiovascular outcome trial (CVOT) data for glucose lowering therapies and elucidate the proposed pleiotropic CV effects of these therapies in patients with T2DM. 4) Compare and contrast data from CVOTs with real-world evidence studies of glucose lowering agents and discuss potential implications for T2DM management strategies in patients with and without cardiovascular disease. 5) Explore opportunities for cardiologists to collaborate with endocrinologists, primary care providers, and other members of the healthcare team in order to improve T2DM management and reduce CV risk.

60 Why are RCTs Seen as the Gold Standard? Randomization avoids bias, ensuring that treatment groups are similar in every respect apart from the investigative treatment For factors which are known to be important, and for factors whose impact is unknown Blinding ensures that the assessment of outcomes is not affected by knowledge of the patient s assigned treatment (by patient, investigator or operational staff) High internal validity Gordis L. Epidemiology

61 But RCTs are typically highly selective, often excluding: Elderly patients (aged 65 and over) Patients with certain co-morbidities Patients at very low risk Patients seen in real-world practice may be: Mostly aged over 65 years Suffering from several diseases Taking multiple drugs Diverse and complex or very low risk How can I be sure that RCT results are applicable to my patients? Does your drug work in the real world? Saturni S, et al. Pulm Pharmacol Ther

62 Real-World Studies Follow up patients in a normal real world environment, rather than in an artificial clinical trial setting Examine the use of the drug in patients with: Comorbidities Concomitant medications Those at very low risk Typically much less expensive than RCTs Have good external validity RCT Data Real World Evidence (RWE) Can it work? Does it work? Luce BR, et al. Milbank Q

86 Strengths and Limitations

87 Limitations Possibility of unmeasured confounding cannot be definitively excluded Safety events not examined SGLT2 inhibitor experience in real-world practice is still relatively limited Longer-term follow up required to examine whether effects are sustained over time Kosiborod M, et al. Circulation

88 Clinical Implications No significant heterogeneity across countries, despite geographic variations in use of SGLT-2i (predominance of canagliflozin in US and dapagliflozin in other countries) The observed cardiovascular benefits are likely class-related Broad population of patients with type 2 diabetes in general practice, the overwhelming majority (87%) of whom did not have known cardiovascular disease Benefits may extend to those at the lower end of the risk spectrum Kosiborod M, et al. Circulation

89 Conclusions RWE provide important complimentary data Efficacy Safety Practical information applicable to clinical practice Multiple examples across classes of glucose-lowering drugs of RWE confirming results of CVOTs SGLT-2i associated with lower risk of HF and death trials and real world data suggest this may be a class effect, and may extend to lower risk T2DM populations
