Adding sitagliptin to conventional antidiabetic regimens in patients with T2DM for 24 months attenuated the annual exacerbation in the echocardiographic parameter of diastolic dysfunction (E/e′) independent of other clinical variables such as blood pressure and glycemic control (Cardiovascular Diabetology)

Efficacy and safety of autoinjected exenatide once-weekly suspension versus sitagliptin or placebo with metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes: the DURATION-NEO-2 randomized clinical study
This study demonstrated that exenatide QWS-AI reduced HbA1c more than sitagliptin or placebo and was well tolerated (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Pancreatic Effects of Liraglutide or Sitagliptin in Overweight Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A 12-Week Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial
A 12-week treatment with liraglutide or sitagliptin only resulted in a brief and modest increase of plasma pancreatic enzyme concentrations in patients with type 2 diabetes. Apart from a minimal sitagliptin-induced increase in intraduodenal fluid secretion, pancreatic exocrine function was unaffected (Diabetes Care)
Effect of sitagliptin on blood glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are treatment naive or poorly responsive to existing antidiabetic drugs
Sitagliptin improved the HbA1c level and rate of achieving the target control levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were previously untreated with, or poorly responsive to, existing antidiabetic drugs. Thus, sitagliptin is expected to be useful in this patient group (BMC Endocrine Disorders)
Adherence, persistence, and treatment discontinuation with sitagliptin compared to sulfonylureas as add-ons to metformin
SITA (vs. SU) + MET users had significantly higher mean PDC, adherence, and persistence. These trends were robust to model alterations and were more marked when accommodating OPEs (Journal of Diabetes)
Urinary albumin excretion with sitagliptin compared to sulfonylurea as add on to metformin in type 2 diabetes patients with albuminuria: a real-world evidence study
Our results suggest that both sitagliptin and SU reduce albuminuria as an add-on therapy to metformin, but that sitagliptin may provide greater reductions in albuminuria independent of glycemic control when compared to SU. Larger population studies are required to further explore this (Diabetes and Its Complications)
Risk for Hospitalized Heart Failure Among New Users of Saxagliptin, Sitagliptin, and Other Antihyperglycemic Drugs
In this large cohort study, a higher risk for hHF was not observed in users of saxagliptin or sitagliptin compared with other selected antihyperglycemic agents (Annals of Internal Medicine)
Association Between Sitagliptin Use and Heart Failure Hospitalization and Related Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Sitagliptin use does not affect the risk for hHF in T2DM, both overall and among high-risk patient subgroups (JAMA Cardiology)
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors improve arterial stiffness, blood pressure, lipid profile and inflammation parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
The treatment with DPP-4i: sitagliptin and vildagliptin provides favorable metabolic and vascular effects beyond glucose-control. Further studies are required to elucidate their implication in metabolic pathways (Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome)
Sitagliptin Attenuates the Progression of Carotid Intima-Media Thickening in Insulin-Treated Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
Sitagliptin attenuated the progression of carotid IMT in insulin-treated patients with T2DM free of apparent cardiovascular disease compared with conventional treatment (Diabetes Care)
Effects of sitagliptin on circulating zinc-α2-glycoprotein levels in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients: a randomized trial
A low level of circulating ZAG is associated with insulin resistance and sitagliptin treatment significantly increases circulating ZAG levels. These observations have implications in relation to the mode of action of the DPP-IV inhibitor as an insulin sensitizing agent (European Journal of Endocrinology)
Reduction of serum concentration of FABP4 by sitagliptin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Sitagliptin decreases serum FABP4 level, at least in part, via reduction in the expression and consecutive secretion of FABP4 in adipocytes by direct inhibition of DPP-4
Sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, alters the subsets of circulating CD4+ T cells in patients with type 2 diabetes
Treatment with sitagliptin for 12 weeks reduced the number of circulating CD4+ T cells, especially Th17 and Treg cells, in patients with type 2 diabetes (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
Sitagliptin in type 2 diabetes mellitus: Efficacy after five years of therapy
Sitagliptin seems to maintain its positive effects on glycemia and fasting plasma insulin on the long term (Pharmacological Research)
Distinct glucose-lowering properties in good responders treated with sitagliptin and alogliptin
These results implicate that the effects on diabetic parameters and the glucose-lowering mechanisms of these two drugs might be different in those who have good response with these drugs. Accordingly, the choice of these drugs may be dependent on the characteristics of the patients (International Journal of Clinical Practice)
Risk of new-onset heart failure in patients using sitagliptin: a population-based cohort study
In our sample of patients who are at high risk of heart failure after acute coronary syndrome, sitagliptin exposure was not associated with an increased risk of de novo heart failure (Diabetic Medicine)
Two-year assessment of the efficacy and safety of sitagliptin in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes: Post hoc analysis of the ASSET-K study
HbA 1c was improved by 2 years of sitagliptin therapy in all three age groups, and age did not seem to influence the incidence of hypoglycemic events. These results confirm the efficacy and safety of sitagliptin in patients ≥ 75 years old, suggesting that it is also useful for treating elderly patients with T2DM (BMC Endocrine Disorders)
Effect of Sitagliptin on Cardiovascular Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes
Among patients with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease, adding sitagliptin to usual care did not appear to increase the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, hospitalization for heart failure, or other adverse events (NEJM)
Merck Announces the Trial Evaluating Cardiovascular Outcomes with Sitagliptin (TECOS) Met Primary Endpoint
The complete results of TECOS will be presented on June 8, 2015 at the 75th Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association (Merck)
Effect of sitagliptin on intrahepatic lipid content and body fat in patients with type 2 diabetes
Our findings indicate that sitagliptin and glimepiride achieved similar glycemic control, but only sitagliptin reduced IHL and total body fat (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
