Sotagliflozin as a potential treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus

Cariou, Bertrand, Charbonnel, Bernard·2015·Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: SGLT1 is the primary transporter responsible for the absorption of glucose and galactose in the intestine, while SGLT2 and SGLT1 are both involved in the renal reabsorption of glucose. SGLT2 inhibitors are a new class of oral antidiabetic drugs, acting by increasing urinary glucose excretion (UGE). They offer the advantages of a reduced risk of hypoglycaemia, a decrease in body weight and blood pressure and an efficacy at all stages of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). AREAS COVERED: Herein, the authors focus specifically on sotagliflozin (LX4211), the first-in-class dual SGLT1/SGLT2 inhibitor. Original publications in English were selected as the basis of this review. Clinical trials were identified using the Clinicaltrial.gov database. EXPERT OPINION: By a potential additional mechanism of action on intestinal glucose absorption linked to SGLT1 inhibition, sotagliflozin differentiates from SGLT2 inhibitors by reducing postprandial glucose excursion and insulin secretion, as well as by increasing GLP-1 secretion. Despite a weaker effect on UGE than selective SGLT2 inhibitors, sotagliflozin is as effective as SGLT2 inhibitors on HbA1C reduction, with a similar safety profile in short-term studies. While sotagliflozin was first assessed in T2DM, it is now in phase 3 development as an adjuvant treatment in patients with T1DM after positive results from a pilot study.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Sotagliflozin acts beyond renal SGLT-2 inhibition to induce partial inhibition of intestinal SGLT-1, leading to augmented GLP-1 and insulin secretion and reduced postprandial glucose excursions.

    “This is particularly true for first-in-class examples, such as the dual SGLT-1/SGLT-2 inhibitor sotagliflozin, which has lower selectivity for SGLT-2 and acts beyond inhibition of renal glucose reabsorption by SGLT-2 to induce partial inhibition of intestinal SGLT-1, leading to augmented GLP-1 and insulin secretion, and a reduction in postprandial glucose excursions (75).”

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.
