Learning Objectives To review the evidence evaluating sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2) in type 2 diabetes To discuss a patient case To promote clinical sharing and discussion about the appropriate place in therapy of the SGLT2 inhibitors 4
Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors Canagliflozin (Invokana) Dapagliflozin (Forxiga) Empagliflozin (Jardiance) 5
Evidence from Canagliflozin (Invokana) CANVAS Trial N Engl J Med 2017;377: 644-57 Empagliflozin (Jardiance) EMPA-REG OUTCOME Trial N Engl J Med 2015;373: 2117-28 Liraglutide (Victoza) LEADER trial N Engl J Med 2016;375: 311-22 6

Annabel Would you add an SGLT2 inhibitor? Would you make any other changes? 9
What is T2DM? Age Environment Body fat Insulin resistance Genes T2DM inefficient Insulin secretion
Complications ACUTE Hypoglycemia HHNS CHRONIC Microvascular Retinopathy Nephropathy Neuropathy Macrovascular Accelerated atherosclerosis MI Stroke 80% Lower extremity gangrene CHF
Well designed RCTs wanted 2 TYPES Target trials Drug trials Will a A1C vascular events? Compare A1C levels Compare A1C lowering therapies
Study Microvascular CVD Mortality UKPDS ACCORD ADVANCE VADT Initial trial Long term F/U
Microvascular outcomes early indicators Retinopathy Nephropathy Macrovascular outcomes.???? Did you know agents can be approved without direct evidence that they risk of morbidity & mortality
Well designed RCTs wanted 2 TYPES Target trials Compare A1C levels Drug trials Compare A1C lowering therapies How do the therapy options compare? Exposes effects of mechanisms outside of AIC?

Other benefits Both empagliflozin and canagliflozin
Best guess of underlying cause for SGLT 2 inhibitors Also: Early hemodynamic changes, whole body Na+ content BP and weight cardiac O 2 demand Changes in cardiac energy metabolism
Adverse effects Genital & UT infections Genital infections NNH 22 empagliflozin Genital infections NNH 6 (females), 12 (males) canagliflozin UTIs NNH 24 (females with empagliflozin) Volume depletion (dry mouth/polydipsia to orthostatic hypotension/syncope) NNH 14 to 38 (canagliflozin) Amputations Fractures NNH 96 (canagliflozin) NNH 286 (canagliflozin) Increase potassium, hemoglobin and hematocrit
Adverse effects Diabetic ketoacidosis Post marketing Health Canada warnings: Acute kidney injury (canagliflozin and dapagliflozin) 2015 Fractures and amputations with canagliflozin Sept 2017
Unanswered questions Are CV benefits a class effect? What about effects in people without established CVD new onset T2DM people without T2DM Will a combination of these agents show additive CV benefit?

Annabel If Annabel had experienced a recent TIA and was started on low dose ASA, Would this influence your decision?
