An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on the Efficacy and Tolerability of Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitors in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes with Moderate to Severe Chronic Kidney Disease

Research output: Contribution to journalReview articlepeer-review

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: This updated meta-analysis determines the effect of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors on glycemic and tolerability outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease with glomerular filtration rate of ⩽60 mL/min or on dialysis.

METHODS: In all, 14 citations were identified from multiple databases. Qualitative assessments and quantitative analyses were performed.

RESULTS: There were 2261 participants, 49-79 years of age, 49% men and 44% Caucasians. In seven placebo-comparator studies, reduction in hemoglobin A1c at weeks 12-24 was 0.55% (95% confidence interval: -0.68 to -0.43), P 

CONCLUSIONS: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors in patients with chronic kidney disease caused a modest reduction in hemoglobin A1c versus placebo, but not when compared with sulfonylureas or albiglutide, or when used in patients on dialysis. Additional active-comparator studies are needed to further elucidate the role of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors in patients with chronic kidney disease stages 3-5 or on dialysis.
