Effect of exenatide twice daily and dapagliflozin, alone and in combination, on markers of kidney function in obese patients with type 2 diabetes: A prespecified secondary analysis of a randomized controlled clinical trial
Abstract
Aims: To evaluate the effects of separate and combined use of the sodium‐glucose cotransporter‐2 (SGLT2) inhibitor dapagliflozin and the glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist (GLP‐1RA) exenatide on measures of kidney function. Methods: In this prespecified secondary analysis of the DECREASE trial, we enrolled 66 obese patients with type 2 diabetes in a 16‐week randomized double‐blind placebo‐controlled clinical trial to investigate the effects of dapagliflozin and exenatide twice daily, alone or in combination, versus placebo on 24‐hour urinary albumin:creatinine ratio (UACR), creatinine and cystatin C‐estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and kidney injury molecule‐1:creatinine ratio (KIM‐1:Cr). Results: At week 16, the mean UACR change from baseline was −39.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] −58.6, −11.9; P = 0.001) in the combined exenatide‐dapagliflozin group, −18.1% (95% CI −43.1, 18.0; P = 0.278) in the dapagliflozin group, −15.6% (95% CI −41.4, 21.6; P = 0.357) in the exenatide group and − 11.0% (95% CI −39.8, 31.5; P = 0.552) in the placebo group. Compared to placebo, UACR difference at week 16 in the exenatide‐dapagliflozin group was −32.2% (95% CI −60.7, 16.9; P = 0.159). Effects were similar in 37 participants who were using angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers at baseline. Compared to placebo, in the exenatide‐dapagliflozin group, an acute dip in estimated GFR was observed with creatinine‐estimated GFR (−4.0 mL/min/1.73 m 2 [95% CI −9.3, 1.2]; P = 0.129) and cystatin C‐estimated GFR (−10.4 mL/min/1.73 m 2 [95% CI −14.9, −5.8]; P < 0.001). The mean KIM‐1:Cr difference in the combined treatment arm versus placebo was −43.8% (95% CI −73.5, 18.9; P = 0.129). Conclusion: This prespecified secondary analysis suggests that combined therapy with exenatide and dapagliflozin may have synergistic effects on markers of kidney function compared to either therapy alone or placebo in obese patients with type 2 diabetes.

“reductions were 2% in patients with normoalbuminuria and 39% in patients with macroalbuminuria.(12) This may explain why in the present study, in which the majority of participants had normoalbuminuria, the albuminuria-lowering effect of exenatide was modest.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
