β‐cell function after intervention was similar in patients with insulin‐ and sitagliptin‐treated LADA, regardless of the strength of autoimmunity. Further, participants with low levels of GAD antibodies did not experience progressive deterioration of β‐cell function over a 21‐month period. Taken together, these findings could be useful for clinicians’ choices of treatment in people with LADA (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)

Cost‐effectiveness of intensification with sodium‐glucose co‐transporter‐2 inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes on metformin and sitagliptin vs direct intensification with insulin in the United Kingdom
or UK patients with T2D not at goal on metformin and sitagliptin therapy, treatment intensification with SGLT2 inhibitors prior to NPH insulin is cost‐neutral or cost‐effective compared with immediate NPH insulin intensification (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Double‐blind, randomized clinical trial comparing the efficacy and safety of continuing or discontinuing the dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 inhibitor sitagliptin when initiating insulin glargine therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes
When initiating insulin glargine therapy, continuation of sitagliptin, compared with discontinuation, resulted in a clinically meaningful greater reduction in HbA1c without an increase in hypoglycaemia (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Effect of Additional Oral Semaglutide vs Sitagliptin on Glycated Hemoglobin in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Uncontrolled With Metformin Alone or With Sulfonylurea
Among adults with type 2 diabetes uncontrolled with metformin with or without sulfonylurea, oral semaglutide, 7 mg/d and 14 mg/d, compared with sitagliptin, resulted in significantly greater reductions in HbA1c over 26 weeks, but there was no significant benefit with the 3-mg/d dosage. Further research is needed to assess effectiveness in a clinical setting (JAMA)
Double‐blind, randomized clinical trial assessing the efficacy and safety of early initiation of sitagliptin during metformin uptitration in the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes: The CompoSIT‐M study
In participants not at HbA1c goal on a sub‐maximal dose of metformin, addition of sitagliptin at the time of metformin dose uptitration improved glycaemic response and HbA1c goal attainment, with similar safety and tolerability, compared to metformin uptitration alone (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Double‐blind, randomized clinical trial assessing the efficacy and safety of early initiation of sitagliptin during metformin up‐titration in treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes: the CompoSIT‐M Study
In participants not at HbA1c goal on a sub‐maximal dose of metformin, addition of sitagliptin at the time of metformin dose up‐titration improved glycemic response and HbA1c goal attainment with similar safety and tolerability compared to metformin up‐titration alone (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Analysis of the effect of seasonal administration on efficacy of sitagliptin: subanalysis of the JAMPstudy
This study suggested that the season of administration of sitagliptin influenced subsequent hypoglycemic effect even after analysis excluding the influence of HbA1c value at the start of treatment. This study provides possibility, indicating that seasonal fluctuations have an effect on the efficacy of antidiabetic drugs (Journal of Diabetes Investigation)
Possible Long-Term Efficacy of Sitagliptin, a Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitor, for Slowly Progressive Type 1 Diabetes (SPIDDM) in the Stage of Non-Insulin-Dependency: An Open-Label Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial (SPAN-S)
The present pilot trial suggests that treatment of SPIDDM/LADA by sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, may be more effective in preserving the β-cell function than insulin treatment for at least 4 years, possibly through the immune modulatory effects of DPP-4 inhibitors (Diabetes Therapy)
Effect of sitagliptin on the echocardiographic parameters of left ventricular diastolic function in patients with type 2 diabetes: a subgroup analysis of the PROLOGUE study
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
