Quantifying the relationship between dapagliflozin and loss of weight in type 1 diabetes mellitus patients

摘要

Abstract What is known and objectives Dapagliflozin was the first oral treatment approved in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients, simultaneously improving body weight. However, the time course and dose effect of dapagliflozin on loss of weight in T1DM patients was still unknown. The present study aimed to investigate quantitative relationship between dapagliflozin and loss of weight in T1DM patients based on Model‐based Meta‐analysis. Methods Five dapagliflozin dosage groups, two of them were 5?mg/day and three of them were 10?mg/day, 1612?T1DM patients were analysed with maximal effect (Emax) model, and evaluation index was change rate of body weight from baseline value. Results In these T1DM patients, dosages were not incorporated into model, indicating no significant dose‐response relationship between 5 and 10?mg/day affecting loss of weight. Emax and the treatment duration to reach half of the maximal effects (ET50) of dapagliflozin influencing loss of weight in T1DM patients were ?4.9% and 10.4?weeks, and the duration to achieve 25%, 50%, 75%, and 80% (plateau) of Emax were 3.5, 10.4, 31.2, and 41.6?weeks. What is new and conclusions It was the first time to explore quantitative relationship between dapagliflozin and loss of weight in T1DM patients. To achieve the plateau period in loss of weight, 5?mg/day dapagliflozin was required for at least 41.6?weeks.
