Introduction
• The role of the kidney in the physiological regulation of
glucose homeostasis has come into focus.
• Latest development efforts for novel antidiabetic therapies
have concentrated on insulin-independent mechanisms like
the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors.
• The emerging profile of the most advanced compounds in this
novel class points towards likely clinical benefits but also
potential risks and issues to be addressed.
• We will attempt to formulate where these novel drugs may fit
into future treatment algorithms and which patients may
benefit the most.

Oral agents
Standard Therapies

type 2 diabetes

Standard Therapies
TZDs (Pioglitazone)
• The most powerful on the longterm : good durability
• No hypos
• A likely CV benefit in high CV risk
patients
• But various adverse effects
Depends on a sufficient residual insulin secretion
A good 2nd or 3rd line option in selected patients with:
• marked insulin resistance
• and high cardio-vascular risk, especially:
– Post-MI (if no heart failure)
– Post-stroke
– Chronic kidney disease
In whom the benefits are likely to exceed the risks

GLP-1 receptor agonists

• Exenatide

• Liraglutide

• Alogliptin*

Glucotoxicity
• High glucose levels are toxic for two main
pathogenetic defects of type 2 diabetes
– Beta-cell function
– Insulin action in peripheral tissues
• High chronic hyperglycaemia damages vascular
tissues resulting in
– Microvascular complications
– Macroangiopathy of diabetes
Kidney and Glucose Homeostasis
The Kidney
• Produces glucose
• Uses glucose
• Filters glucose
• Reabsorbs glucose

Limitations of SGLT2 Inhibitor Therapy
• Increased risk of genito-urinary infections
– Slight excess of UTIs but amenable to treatment, no
recurrence
– Increase in genital infections, particularly in women or
those with history of genital infections
• Risk of dehydration
– Some dehydration in patients with very high glucose levels
( osmotic diuresis)
– Very few cases of dehydration reported
Additional Benefit - Blood Pressure Reduction
• Well documented, consistent reduction of systolic
blood pressure in clinical trials
• Probably triggered by osmotic diuresis
• Clinical value
– Reduction in use/dose of anti-hypertensives ?
– Cardiovascular risk reduction ?
Increased Risk for Cancer ?
• Bladder Cancer
– 9 occurrences of bladder cancer in 5478 dapagliflozin recipients
(0.16%) versus 1 in 3156 (0.03%) for control
– Of the 10 bladder cancer cases, 6 were associated with haematuria at
baseline and 5 of the cases were identified within the first year
– Ascertainment bias ?
• Breast Cancer
– 9 breast cancer cases in 2223 (0.4%) dapagliflozin recipients versus 1
in 1053 (0.1%) for control
– All breast cancer cases were identified in the first year of treatment
• No overall imbalance in malignant tumours
• No carcinogenic or genotoxic activity in preclinical studies
SGLT2-inhibitors :
For which Patients? At What Stage of the Disease?
Type 2 Diabetes: the Usual Step-by-step Approach
Yes: on the top of insulin when
large doses of insulin fail
Injections
Step 3
Yes: in triple oral therapy (when
you want to avoid injections)
Two oral
agents
Lifestyle changes
Step 2
Yes: in dual therapy in some
obese or hypertensive patients,
mainly when DPP4-inhibitors fail
One oral agent
Step 1
Diabetes progression

No in monotherapy
Type 2 Diabetes Treatment intensification : 3rd Line
When Oral Dual Therapies Are Not Enough
Dual oral
Metformin +
Sulfonylurea/DPP4
HbA1c > 7-7.5 %
Triple oral therapy
Metformin + SUs/DPP4
+ SGLT2-inhibitor
An
alternative
to
injections
Rather than adding
Pioglitazone
Especially in obese and/or hypertensive patients,
in whom insulin may not be the best option:
risk of hypos, need for high doses…
Courtesy of Clifford Bailey, PhD
Injections
Insulin
GLP1-agonists
Generally recommended
When Basal Insulin Is Not Enough
1st step for
everybody
Start with basal insulin
Titration
If HbA1c  7.5%*, despite titration
*or an individualized target
Add SGLT2inhibitor
A very promising option
• Weight loss
• A reduced risk of hypos
• Reduced doses of insulin
Courtesy of Bernard Charbonnel, MD
Intensify
insulin
The usual option
Intensification of insulin therapy usually
consists of additional prandial injections
• Weight gain
• Hypos
• Large doses of insulin often needed
Further Considerations - Diabetic Patient
Groups for SGLT2 Inhibitor Treatment
Caution in
• Elderly patients at risk of dehydration
• Diabetic women with history of infections
• Compromised renal function
– Eg, stage 3 or 4 of chronic kidney disease
Potential in type 1 diabetes ?
• Reduce dose of insulin
• Reduce frequency of hypoglycaemia
General Take-Home Messages
• Type 2 diabetes is progressive and difficult to control
• Tight glycaemic control is essential to reduce the burden of
complications
• Insulin-dependent therapies address beta-cell failure and
insulin resistance, but are limited by disease progression
• Insulin-independent therapies - such as SGLT2 inhibition enable glucose-lowering and weight loss without increased
propensity for hypoglycaemia
