Sitagliptin Treatment at the Time of Hospitalization Was Associated With Reduced Mortality in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and COVID-19
In this multicenter, case-control, retrospective, observational study of patients with type 2 diabetes admitted to the hospital for COVID-19, sitagliptin treatment at the time of hospitalization was associated with reduced mortality and improved clinical outcomes as compared with standard-of-care treatment (Diabetes Care)
Comparative effectiveness of gliclazide modified release vs sitagliptin as second‐line treatment after metformin monotherapy in patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes
In this real‐world study, second‐line gliclazide MR was more effective than sitagliptin in reducing HbA1c, with similar durability and persistence and low rates of hypoglycaemic events, in individuals with type 2 diabetes on metformin treatment and HbA1c above the target of 7.0% (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Impact of sitagliptin on endometrial mesenchymal stem-like progenitor cells: A randomised, double-blind placebo-controlled feasibility trial
Sitagliptin increases eMSCs and decreases decidual senescence. A large-scale clinical trial evaluating the impact of preconception sitagliptin treatment on pregnancy outcome in RPL is feasible and warranted (EBioMedicine)
Costarting sitagliptin with metformin is associated with a lower likelihood of disease progression in newly treated people with type 2 diabetes: a cohort study
Costarting drug therapy with sitagliptin and metformin was associated with a lower likelihood of disease progression in people with type 2 diabetes compared with adding sitagliptin later (Diabetic Medicine)
Effects of sitagliptin on gastric emptying of, and the glycaemic and blood pressure responses to, a carbohydrate meal in type 2 diabetes
In type 2 diabetes, while sitagliptin has no effect on either gastric emptying or postprandial blood pressure, it’s effects to lower postprandial glucose is dependent on the basal rate of gastric emptying (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Investigating optimal β‐cell‐preserving treatment in latent autoimmune diabetes in adults: Results from a 21‐month randomized trial
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)
