AMPLITUDE-O Trial
1/5
Cardiovascular outcome trial for Efpeglenatide an investigational once weekly Exendin-4 based GLP-1ra.

What are the unanswered questions
Do Exendin-based GLP-1a ⤵️ MACE❓
Do GLP-1ra ⤵️ MACE in people taking SGLT2i❓
Does GLP-1ra ⤵️ renal decline❓

#ADA2021

Main results

Efpeglenatide
⤵️3-point MACE by 27%
⤵️expanded MACE by 21%
⤵️Renal composite by 32%
⤵️MACE or non-CV death by 27%

Best data yet to suggest adding GLP-1ra to SGLT2i ⤵️MACE

Renal outcomes

Efpeglenatide
⤵️Renal composite
⤵️Albuminuria
⤵️eGFR slope❗️
4/5
How do these results impact on an updated GLP-1ra CVOT meta-analysis?

GLP-1ra
⤵️3-point MACE by 14%
⤵️CV ☠️ by 13%
⤵️MI by 10%
⤵️Stoke by 17%
⤵️hHF by 11%
5/5

Conclusions

Do Exendin-based GLP-1a ⤵️ MACE?✅
Do GLP-1ra ⤵️ MACE in people taking SGLT2i?✅ (⚠️small numbers though)
Does GLP-1ra ⤵️ renal decline?✅

Glycemia Reduction Approaches in Diabetes: A Comparative Effectiveness Study (GRADE)

Q. What next after metformin?

MET plus:
✅GLP-1ra (liraglutide)
✅Insulin(glargine)
✅SU (glimepiride)
✅DPP4i (sitagliptin)

But
😱 No SGLT2i
😱 No TZD

Mean baseline characteristics

BMI 34
HbA1c 7.5%
Duration of diabetes 4.2 yr

⚠️🇺🇸 only study
⚠️only 3.6% from 'Asian' descent
⚠️ So not representative to non-🇺🇸 #type2diabetes

Summary of glycaemic outcomes

🥳GLP-1ra & Basal Insulin did best

💩DPP4i did worse. In particular if baseline HbA1c>7.8%

Bottom line - I don't think DPP-4i is a good option if HbA1c >7.8% (62mmol/mol)
