<h3>Background</h3>Given the cardiovascular, renal, and survival benefits of GLP-1 receptor agonists for diabetes, these agents could be effective among kidney transplant recipients. However, kidney transplant recipients are distinct from GLP-1 receptor agonist trial participants, with longer diabetes duration and severity, greater end-organ damage, increased cardiovascular risk, and multimorbidity. We examined GLP-1 receptor agonist real-world effectiveness and safety in kidney transplant recipients with diabetes.<h3>Methods</h3>This USA-based retrospective cohort study included kidney transplant recipients with type 2 diabetes at transplantation and Medicare as their primary insurance from a national registry linked with Medicare claims. Post-transplantation GLP-1 receptor agonist use was identified through Medicare claims. Death-censored graft loss was estimated using the Fine-Gray sub-distribution hazard model and extended Cox models were used for mortality and safety endpoints. Models incorporated inverse probability of treatment weights. To further test whether bias could affect the main results, a cohort was created in which each GLP-1 receptor agonist user was matched with a kidney transplant recipient who had not started a GLP-1 receptor agonist, was alive with a functioning graft, and had accrued the same amount of post-transplant survival time.<h3>Findings</h3>Between Jan 1, 2013 and Dec 31, 2020, we identified 44 536 first time kidney transplant recipients with Medicare as primary payer in the 6 months before and at transplantation. 24 192 patients were excluded as they did not have type 2 diabetes. 2328 patients were ineligible (1916 had missing values and 412 used GLP-1 receptor agonists before transplantation). The primary cohort thus consisted of 18 016 kidney transplant recipients with diabetes. Of these patients, 1969 (10·9%) had at least one GLP-1 receptor agonist prescription filled post-transplant. Compared with patients who had not received a GLP-1 receptor agonist, GLP-1 receptor agonist users were younger (median age at transplant 57 years [IQR 49–64] <em>vs</em> 60 years [51–66], p<0·0001) and more likely to be female (786 [39·9%] <em>vs</em> 5645 [35·2%], p<0·0001). Among GLP-1 receptor agonist users, 552 [28·0%] were non-Hispanic White, 703 [35·7%] were non-Hispanic Black, and 568 [28·8%] were Hispanic. The 5-year unadjusted cumulative incidence of death-censored graft loss from a cohort matched on survival time before GLP-1 receptor agonist initiation was 6·0% for GLP-1 receptor agonist users and 10·7% for non-users (Gray's test p=0·004). The 5-year unadjusted cumulative incidence for mortality from a cohort matched on survival time before GLP-1 receptor agonist initiation was 17·0% for GLP-1 receptor agonist users and 25·8% for non-users (log-rank p=0·0006). The 5-year unadjusted cumulative incidence for mortality was 13·5% for GLP-1 receptor agonist users and 19·9% for non-users (log-rank p<0·0001). GLP-1 re

<h3>Background</h3>Data on tirzepatide in Asian patients with obesity are limited. This study aimed to gain a better understanding of tirzepatide for treatment of Japanese patients with obesity disease (BMI ≥25 kg/m<sup>2</sup> with excessive fat accumulation) as defined by the Japanese Society for the Study of Obesity.<h3>Methods</h3>This was a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial of the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide as an adjunct to lifestyle modifications. Japanese adults with obesity disease (BMI ≥27 kg/m<sup>2</sup> accompanied by ≥2 obesity-related health disorders or ≥35 kg/m<sup>2</sup> accompanied by ≥1 obesity-related health disorders), excluding diabetes, were assigned 1:1:1 via computer-generated random sequence to receive once weekly subcutaneous tirzepatide (10 mg or 15 mg) or placebo. Coprimary endpoints were the mean percent change in bodyweight and the proportion of participants achieving at least 5% bodyweight reduction at week 72, using the efficacy estimand. Efficacy and safety were assessed in the modified intention-to-treat (mITT) population.

Estimated treatment differences relative to placebo in change in bodyweight at week 72 were −16·1% (95% CI −18·7 to −13·5; p<0·0001) and −21·1% (95% CI −23·6 to −18·5; p<0·0001) following tirzepatide 10 mg and 15 mg, respectively.

Cardiometabolic and body composition indices were also improved with tirzepatide. Participants treated with tirzepatide experienced treatment-emergent adverse events more frequently (10 mg: n=61 [84%]; 15 mg: n=66 [86%]) than those who received placebo (52 [69%]), most commonly gastrointestinal symptoms.

<h3>Background</h3>Bodyweight loss is associated with type 2 diabetes remission; however, the quantitative relationship between the degree of bodyweight loss and the likelihood of remission, after controlling for confounding factors, remains unknown. We aimed to analyse the relationship between the degree of bodyweight loss and diabetes remission after controlling for various confounding factors, and to provide estimates for the effect sizes of these factors on diabetes remission.<h3>Methods</h3>This systematic review and meta-regression analysis followed Cochrane and PRISMA guidelines to systematically review, synthesise, and report global evidence from randomised controlled trials done in individuals with type 2 diabetes and overweight or obesity. The outcome was the proportion of participants with complete diabetes remission (HbA<sub>1c</sub> <6·0% [42 mmol/mol] or fasting plasma glucose [FPG] <100 mg/dL [5·6 mmol/L], or both, with no use of glucose-lowering drugs) or partial diabetes remission (HbA<sub>1c</sub> <6·5% [48 mmol/mol] or FPG <126 mg/dL [7·0 mmol/L], or both, with no use of glucose-lowering drugs) at least 1 year after a bodyweight loss intervention. We searched PubMed, Embase, and trial registries from database inception up to July 30, 2024. Data were extracted from published reports. Meta-analyses and meta-regressions were performed to analyse the data. The study protocol is registered with PROSPERO (CRD42024497878).<h3>Findings</h3>We identified 22 relevant publications, encompassing 29 outcome measures of complete diabetes remission and 33 outcome measures of partial remission. The pooled mean proportion of participants with complete remission 1 year after the intervention was 0·7% (95% CI 0·1–4·6) in those with bodyweight loss less than 10%, 49·6% (40·4–58·9) in those with bodyweight loss of 20–29%, and 79·1% (68·6–88·1) in those with bodyweight loss of 30% or greater; no studies reported on complete remission with 10–19% bodyweight loss. The pooled mean proportion of participants with partial remission 1 year after the intervention was 5·4% (95% CI 2·9–8·4) in those with bodyweight loss less than 10%, 48·4% (36·1–60·8) in those with 10–19% bodyweight loss, 69·3% (55·8–81·3) in those with bodyweight loss of 20–29%, and 89·5% (80·0–96·6) in those with bodyweight loss of 30% or greater. There was a strong positive association between bodyweight loss and remission. For every 1 percentage point decrease in bodyweight, the probability of reaching complete remission increased by 2·17 percentage points (95% CI 1·94–2·40) and the probability of reaching partial remission increased by 2·74 percentage points (2·48–3·00). No significant or appreciable associations were observed between age, sex, race, diabetes duration, baseline BMI, HbA<sub>1c</sub>, insulin use, or type of bodyweight loss intervention and remission. Overall, data were derived from randomised controlled trials with a low risk of bias in all quality domains.

For every 1 percentage point decrease in bodyweight, the probability of reaching complete remission increased by 2·17 percentage points (95% CI 1·94–2·40) and the probability of reaching partial remission increased by 2·74 percentage points (2·48–3·00). No significant or appreciable associations were observed between age, sex, race, diabetes duration, baseline BMI, HbA<sub>1c</sub>, insulin use, or type of bodyweight loss intervention and remission. Overall, data were derived from randomised controlled trials with a low risk of bias in all quality domains.","PeriodicalId":48790,"journal":{"name":"The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":44.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143507051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
