Nature Reviews Endocrinology 8, 728-742 a | Native GLP-1 is secreted from intestinal L cells and acts directly on the pancreas to stimulate insulin release and suppress glucagon secretion. GLP-1 inhibits gastric motility, retards gastric emptying and, through actions on the CNS, reduces appetite but can induce nausea. b | Short-acting GLP-1 receptor agonists inhibit gastric motility, reducing transpyloric flow (solid lines). These effects lead to delayed intestinal glucose absorption and, indirectly, to a reduction in postprandial insulin secretion, as well as appetite suppression and induction of nausea (dashed lines). Short-acting GLP-1 receptor agonists also seem to have direct effects on the CNS and on glucagon secretion. c | Long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonists act directly on the pancreas to stimulate insulin secretion, and they suppress glucagon secretion via paracrine release of somatostatin. Through actions on the CNS, these agents also reduce appetite and might induce nausea. Nature Reviews Endocrinology 8, 728-742 Nature Reviews Endocrinology 8, 728-742 The two previous studies of GLP-1 receptor agonists comparing once-weekly with once-daily dosing, DURATION-6 and HARMONY-7 (comparing liraglutide with exenatide once-weekly and with albiglutide, respectively) had non-inferiority margins of 0·25% and 0·30%, respectively, with sample sizes of 911 and 812 patients, compared with 599 patients in AWARD-6. Findings from these studies showed between-treatment group differences of 0·21% (95% CI 0·08–0·33) for DURATION-6 and 0·21% (0·08–0·34) for HARMONY-7, which did not show noninferiority to liraglutide.

Background For patients with type 2 diabetes who do not achieve target glycaemic control with conventional insulin treatment, advancing to a basal–bolus insulin regimen is often recommended. We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist dulaglutide with that of insulin glargine, both combined with prandial insulin lispro, in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods We did this 52 week, randomised, open-label, phase 3, noninferiority trial at 105 study sites in 15 countries. Patients (aged ≥18 years) with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with conventional insulin treatment were randomly assigned (1:1:1), via a computer-generated randomisation sequence with an interactive voice-response system, to receive once-weekly dulaglutide 1·5 mg, dulaglutide 0·75 mg, or daily bedtime glargine. Randomisation was stratified by country and metformin use. Participants and study investigators were not masked to treatment allocation, but were unaware of dulaglutide dose assignment. The primary outcome was a change in glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) from baseline to week 26, with a 0·4% noninferiority margin. Analysis was by intention to treat. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01191268. Figure 1: Trial profile One patient in the dulaglutide 1・5 mg group and another in the dulaglutide 0・75 mg group died after treatment discontinuation, but while still in the study not taking the study drug. *19 screened patients at one site, eight of whom were randomised, were excluded from analysis because of Good Clinical Practice compliance issues. †Discontinuation of study treatment from week 0 to week 52. One patient in the dulaglutide 1・5 mg group, four patients in the dulaglutide 0・75 mg, and two patients in the glargine group discontinued treatment because of severe, persistent hyperglycaemia (prespecified criteria).

The appendix shows pancreatic enzyme data. Findings Between Dec 9, 2010, and Sept 21, 2012, we randomly assigned 884 patients to receive dulaglutide 1·5 mg (n=295), dulaglutide 0·75 mg (n=293), or glargine (n=296). At 26 weeks, the adjusted mean change in HbA1c was greater in patients receiving dulaglutide 1·5 mg (−1·64% [95% CI −1·78 to −1·50], −17·93 mmol/mol [−19·44 to −16·42]) and dulaglutide 0·75 mg (−1·59% [−1·73 to −1·45], −17·38 mmol/mol [−18·89 to −15·87]) than in those receiving glargine (−1·41% [−1·55 to −1·27], −15·41 mmol/mol [−16·92 to −13·90]). The adjusted mean difference versus glargine was −0·22% (95% CI −0·38 to −0·07, −2·40 mmol/mol [–4·15 to −0·77]; p=0·005) for dulaglutide 1·5 mg and −0·17% (–0·33 to −0·02, −1·86 mmol/mol [–3·61 to −0·22]; p=0·015) for dulaglutide 0·75 mg. Five (<1%) patients died after randomisation because of septicaemia (n=1 in the dulaglutide 1·5 mg group); pneumonia (n=1 in the dulaglutide 0·75 mg group); cardiogenic shock; ventricular fibrillation; and an unknown cause (n=3 in the glargine group). We recorded serious adverse events in 27 (9%) patients in the dulaglutide 1·5 mg group, 44 (15%) patients in the dulaglutide 0·75 mg group, and 54 (18%) patients in the glargine group. The most frequent adverse events, arising more often with dulaglutide than glargine, were nausea, diarrhoea, and vomiting. Interpretation Dulaglutide in combination with lispro resulted in a significantly greater improvement in glycaemic control than did glargine and represents a new treatment option for patients unable to achieve glycaemic targets with conventional insulin treatment.

Importance Associations between subclinical thyroid dysfunction and fractures are unclear and clinical trials are lacking. Objective To assess the association of subclinical thyroid dysfunction with hip, nonspine, spine, or any fractures. Data Sources and Study Selection The databases of MEDLINE and EMBASE (inception to March 26, 2015) were searched without language restrictions for prospective cohort studies with thyroid function data and subsequent fractures. Data Extraction Individual participant data were obtained from 13 prospective cohorts in the United States, Europe, Australia, and Japan. Levels of thyroid function were defined as euthyroidism (thyroid-stimulating hormone [TSH], 0.454.49 mIU/L), subclinical hyperthyroidism (TSH <0.45 mIU/L), and subclinical hypothyroidism (TSH ≥4.50-19.99 mIU/L) with normal thyroxine concentrations. Main Outcome and MeasuresThe primary outcome was hip fracture. Any fractures, nonspine fractures, and clinical spine fractures were secondary outcomes. Hazard ratios (HRs) were adjusted for age and sex. Data marker sizes are proportional to the inverse of the variance of the HRs. Error bars indicate 95%CIs. Not every outcome was available for each study. Calculations of τ2 were used to measure heterogeneity in effect estimates across cohorts, with a prespecified τ2 (≦0.04) indicating low heterogeneity and greater than 0.04 to 0.36 indicating moderate heterogeneity. All hazard ratios (HRs) were age and sex adjusted. Error bars indicate 95%CIs. The multivariable analysis yielded similar results (eTable 3 in Supplement 1). a The PROSPER (Prospective Study of Pravastatin in the Elderly at Risk) Study was not included because follow-up data were only available for any fracture. b These HRs were adjusted for sex and age as a continuous variable to avoid residual confounding within age strata. c The HUNT (NordTrondelag Health Study), Cardiovascular Health Study, Sheffield, and OPUS (Osteoporosis and Ultrasound Study) studies were not included because follow-up data for any fracture were not available. d The HUNT, Cardiovascular Health Study, Leiden 85Plus, and PROSPER studies were not included because follow-up data for nonspine fractures were not available. e The HUNT, Cardiovascular Health Study, Leiden 85Plus, Sheffield, OPUS, and PROSPER studies were not included because Results Among 70 298 participants, 4092 (5.8%) had subclinical hypothyroidism and 2219 (3.2%) had subclinical hyperthyroidism. During 762 401 person-years of follow-up, hip fracture occurred in 2975 participants (4.6%; 12 studies), any fracture in 2528 participants (9.0%; 8 studies), nonspine fracture in 2018 participants (8.4%; 8 studies), and spine fracture in 296 participants (1.3%; 6 studies). In age- and sexadjusted analyses, the hazard ratio (HR) for subclinical hyperthyroidism vs euthyroidism was 1.36 for hip fracture (95% CI, 1.13-1.64; 146 events in 2082 participants vs 2534 in 56 471); for any fracture, HR was 1.28 (95% CI, 1.06-1.53; 121 events in 888 participants vs 2203 in 25 901); for nonspine fracture, HR was 1.16 (95% CI, 0.95-1.41; 107 events in 946 participants vs 1745 in 21 722); and for spine fracture, HR was 1.51 (95% CI, 0.93-2.45; 17 events in 732 participants vs 255 in 20 328). Lower TSH was associated with higher fracture rates: for TSH of less than 0.10 mIU/L, HR was 1.61 for hip fracture (95% CI, 1.21-2.15; 47 events in 510 participants); for any fracture, HR was 1.98 (95% CI, 1.41-2.78; 44 events in 212 participants); for nonspine fracture, HR was 1.61 (95% CI, 0.96-2.71; 32 events in 185 participants); and for spine fracture, HR was 3.57 (95% CI, 1.88-6.78; 8 events in 162 participants). Risks were similar after adjustment for other fracture risk factors. Endogenous subclinical hyperthyroidism (excluding thyroid medication users) was associated with HRs of 1.52 (95% CI, 1.19-1.93) for hip fracture, 1.42 (95% CI, 1.16-1.74) for any fracture, and 1.74 (95% CI, 1.01-2.99) for spine fracture. No association was found between subclinical hypothyroidism and fracture risk. Conclusions and Relevance Subclinical hyperthyroidism was associated with an increased risk of hip and other fractures, particularly among those with TSH levels of less than 0.10 mIU/L and those with endogenous subclinical hyperthyroidism. Further study is needed to determine whether treating subclinical hyperthyroidism can prevent fractures.
