Lixisenatide in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Acute Coronary Syndrome

In this randomized study, the addition of lixisenatide, a glucagon-like peptide 1–receptor agonist, to usual care in patients with type 2 diabetes and a recent cardiovascular event did not alter the rate of subsequent major cardiovascular or other serious adverse events. Randomized trials involving...

Popis
Shrnutí:In this randomized study, the addition of lixisenatide, a glucagon-like peptide 1–receptor agonist, to usual care in patients with type 2 diabetes and a recent cardiovascular event did not alter the rate of subsequent major cardiovascular or other serious adverse events. Randomized trials involving patients with new or established type 2 diabetes have shown that improved glucose control reduces the risk of microvascular complications, 1 – 3 with modest cardiovascular benefits suggested by meta-analyses and extended follow-up of clinical trials. 4 – 7 However, various studies indicate that, despite being effective in lowering the glucose and glycated hemoglobin levels, some hypoglycemic medications may increase, rather than reduce, the risk of cardiovascular events. 8 – 10 These unexpected findings prompted the reexamination of the regulatory approval processes for new antidiabetic therapies, which had been based primarily on the surrogate measure of glucose lowering with limited clinical-outcomes data.
