Background and Objective: Fixed-dose combination (FDC) of dapagliflozin+metformin+sulfonylurea with complementary mechanisms can provide effective glycaemic control, preserve beta-cell function, improved compliance without risk of weight gain, and reno-protective action in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. This subgroup analysis assessed efficacy and safety of triple-drug FDC vs (vs) two-drug combination in T2DM Indian patients aged <45 years and 45-65 years.
Method: This is a subgroup analysis of phase 3, open-label, four-arm, active-controlled study (CTRI/2022/06/043249) in T2DM patients (glycated haemoglobin [HbA1c] 8%-11%) taking metformin 1000 mg 2000 mg/day and glimepiride 2 mg/day at screening. Patients received FDC of dapagliflozin+glimepiride+metformin IR tablet twice-daily (BID) (5 mg+1 mg+500 mg [test-1]/5 mg+1 mg+1000 mg [test-2]) OR co administration of glimepiride tablet + metformin IR BID (1 mg+1 tablet of 500 mg [comparator-1]/1 mg+2 tablets of 500 mg [comparator-2]) for 16 weeks. Post Week 16, up titrated dose of glimepiride (2 mg) in respective treatments was provided to patients with HbA1c ≥7% in each arm. This subgroup analysis evaluated glycaemic and safety parameters from Baseline till Week 28 in two age subgroups; subgroup 1 (S1:age <45 years) and subgroup 2 (S2:age 45-65 years).
Results: At baseline, 223 patients aged <45 years (S1) and 310 patients aged 45-65 years (S2). Adjusted mean change (SE) in HbA1c in S1 was statistically significant in test-1 vs comparator-1 [2.48% (0.14%) vs 1.64% (0.14%), P<0.0001) and in test-2 vs comparator-2 [-2.31% (0.13%) vs -1.65% (0.13%), P=0.0004) at Week 16. Adjusted mean change (SE) in HbA1c in S2 was statistically significant in test-1 vs comparator-1 (2.1% (0.12%) vs -1.63% (0.12%), P=0.0043)] and in test-2 vs comparator-2 [-2.18% (0.12%) vs -1.75% (0.12%), P=0.0116] at Week 16. In S1, proportion of patients achieving HbA1c <7% were significantly higher in test-1 vs comparator-1 (74.5% vs 46.9%, P=0.0047) and test-2 vs comparator-2 (85.5% vs 58.1%, P=0.0011) at Week 16. In S2, proportion of patients achieving HbA1c <7% were significantly higher in test-1 vs comparator-1 (70.1% vs 46.8%, P=0.0032) and test-2 vs comparator-2 (73.7% vs 47.1%, P=0.0011) at Week 16. Significant reduction in HbA1c, fasting and post prandial blood glucose was observed from Baseline to Weeks 12 and 16 in each arm in both subgroups. No patient reported hypoglycaemia or required rescue medication. Both treatments were well tolerated.
Conclusion: Triple FDCs of dapagliflozin+glimepiride+metformin IR tablets showed statistically significant reduction in HbA1c from Baseline to Week 16 as compared to dual combinations in T2DM patients of both age groups (<45 years and 45-65 years) and is a treatment option for all age groups.
