Sammanfattning

Den blodsockersänkande effekten av metformin vid typ 2-diabetes är likvärdig hos kvinnor och män i kontrollerade kliniska studier. En av dessa studier indikerar att kvinnor har högre risk att få hypoglykemi vid antidiabetikabehandling än män.  I en observationell studie fick männen som behandlades med metformin en större HbA1c-minskning jämfört med kvinnorna. Däremot sågs en större viktreduktion hos kvinnor som behandlades med metformin jämfört med männen.

Det har diskuterats ifall metforminbehandlade kvinnor har större risk för laktacidos, men evidensläget är oklart.

Background

Studies indicate that men in the early middle age have a higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus compared with women in the same age group [1]. In Sweden, the age-standardized prevalence of pharmacologically and non-pharmacologically treated diabetes was 56% for men and 39% for women in 2012 [2].

Pharmacokinetics and dosing
The bioavailability of fixed-dose combination tablets of pioglitazone and metformin was examined in young healthy subjects (61 men, 63 women). For either pioglitazone or metformin, exposure differences in AUC between men and women did not exceed 20% and there was considerable overlap in AUC values. When AUC was normalized for 70-kg body weight, sex differences in mean AUC values were less than 10% [3]. According to the drug label information, there are no sex differences in metformin pharmacokinetics in normal subjects (19 men, 16 women) and no sex differentiation has been recommended by the pharmaceutical company [4].

Studies indicate that men in the early middle age have a higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus compared with women in the same age group [1]. In Sweden, the age-standardized prevalence of pharmacologically and non-pharmacologically treated diabetes was 56% for men and 39% for women in 2012 [2]. # Pharmacokinetics and dosing The bioavailability of fixed-dose combination tablets of pioglitazone and metformin was examined in young healthy subjects (61 men, 63 women). For either pioglitazone or metformin, exposure differences in AUC between men and women did not exceed 20% and there was considerable overlap in AUC values. When AUC was normalized for 70-kg body weight, sex differences in mean AUC values were less than 10% [3]. According to the drug label information, there are no sex differences in metformin pharmacokinetics in normal subjects (19 men, 16 women) and no sex differentiation has been recommended by the pharmaceutical company [4]. # Effects In the UK Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) that reported long-term metabolic effects of metformin and reduced cardiovascular risk with use, included both men and women (in total 1704 patients, 342 with metformin), although the results were not presented separately for men and women [5]. Controlled clinical studies in patients with type 2 diabetes show comparable antihyperglycemic effect of metformin in men and women [4]. A clinical trial (36 men, 42 women) evaluated the sex-related differences in the cardiac metabolic response to diabetes treatment. Patients received metformin alone, metformin plus rosiglitazone, or metformin plus Lovaza/Omacor (Omega-3 fish oil). In metformin treated men, but not in women, whole body fatty acid clearance decreased, which was linked to increased plasma fatty acid levels, myocardial fatty acid utilization and oxidation, and lower myocardial glucose utilization. Myocardial glucose metabolism was unchanged in women [6]. In an observational German study in patients with diabetes, effects of treatment with lifestyle, metformin or sulfonylurea on glycemic control and body weight were investigated. Data for subgroups of men and women adjusted for age, diabetes duration, baseline HbA1c and observational treatment period were analyzed. Men had higher HbA1c-reductions after treatment with lifestyle and metformin, respectively, than women. In contrast, women had a higher reduction of body weight after lifestyle intervention (2909 men, 2878 women), metformin (1098 men, 1082 women) or sulfonylurea (493 men, 450 women) monotherapies than men. Highest weight reductions were seen in women treated with metformin (women -1.8±0.2 vs. men -1.2±0.2kg; p<0.05)  [7]. Similarly, in a RCT evaluating the patterns of weight change in patients with type 2 diabetes (623 men, 461 women), women treated with metformin had lost more weight than men at six months (-0.8 kg vs. -2.1 kg, respectively). However, this sex difference did not persist to the end of follow-up period (50 months) [8]. In contrast, another study (935 men, 1986 women) reported no significant differences between races/ethnicities or men and women in weight loss in response to metformin [9]. A RCT investigated the effect of metformin for obesity in Spanish prepubertal and pubertal children (72 boys, 68 girls) with BMI z score (age and sex standardized body mass index) reduction as primary outcome. For one of the secondary outcome measures, boys had an increased ALR (adiponectin-leptin ratio) after metformin treatment versus placebo, but girls only showed a trend [10]. # Adverse effects The ACCORD study (Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes) was a randomized, controlled trial designed to test the effect of intensive glucose control compared with standard control on cardiovascular outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes. The study showed that women had a higher risk of hypoglycemia than men regardless of treatment in general [11]. In a nested case-control study (109 120 men, 48 805 women), using Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database from 2001 to 2014, interaction between patient’s sex and use of oral antidiabetic drugs was explored among patients with myocardial infarction in the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System from 2004 to 2014. Men had a higher risk of metformin- and sulfonylureas-associated myocardial infarction than women (OR men 1.37 vs OR women 1.15) [12]. # Reproductive health issues Regarding teratogenic aspects, please consult Janusmed Drugs and Birth Defects (in Swedish, Janusmed fosterpåverkan). # Other information In a Chinese study (199 men, 89 women), metformin was found to increase plasma lactic acid levels in type 2 diabetes patients. Women on metformin had higher lactic acid levels than men. Lactic acid concentrations increased with higher estradiol levels but decreased with increased levels of testosterone. The levels of testosterone and estradiol in women were significantly lower than those in men. This sex difference leads to different plasma lactate levels. The authors of this study suggest that lactate concentrations should be monitored frequently in diabetes patients during metformin administration, especially in women with high estrogen levels, to avoid potential lactic acidosis [13]. In an Iranian randomized, clinical trial (38 men, 61 women) of newly diagnosed, medication-naïve type 2 diabetes patients, the effects of metformin on serum concentrations of vaspin and adiponectin were studied. After 3 months of metformin therapy, vaspin dropped significantly only in women. Metformin therapy did not change adiponectin concentrations in neither women nor men. Higher adiponectin concentrations are believed to confer protection against development of type 2 diabetes in healthy subjects. This study showed that metformin exerts little benefit on adiponectin levels in diabetes patients [14]. In a RCT with patients newly diagnosed with diabetes, the effects of metformin (22 men, 19 women) and pioglitazone (19 men, 31 women) on omentin and leptin concentrations were investigated. After three months, metformin decreased both omentin and leptin concentrations in women, and leptin concentrations only in men [15]. In a study on diabetes type 2 patients treated with either metformin or lifestyle (446 men, 329 women), metformin was associated with higher fasting active and total GLP-1 levels but without any correlation to a patient’s sex [16]. A Taiwanese study (18 239 men, 16 099 women) examining the possible metformin effect on cancer, found a benefit of metformin in colorectal cancer in women but not in men [17]. In patients (163 men, 105 women) with normal or mildly impaired renal function (glomerular filtration rate of > 60 mL/min/1.73 m2), the impact of continuation of metformin prior to elective coronary angiography on acute contrast nephropathy was examined. The ejection fraction and contrast volume were found to be independent predictors of contrast-induced nephropathy, while patient’s sex was not [18].

Background

Studies indicate that men in the early middle age have a higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus compared with women in the same age group [1]. In Sweden, the age-standardized prevalence of pharmacologically and non-pharmacologically treated diabetes was 56% for men and 39% for women in 2012 [2].

Pharmacokinetics and dosing
Clinical studies have shown no pharmacokinetic differences between men and women of single- or multiple-dose sitagliptin [3, 4]. According to the original manufacturer, no clinically relevant pharmacokinetic sex differences have been shown [5].

In a Japanese retrospective cohort study (in total 87 678 patients), dose levels of sitagliptin were compared before and after the safety alert on the risk of serious hypoglycemic events with the combination sitagliptin and high-dose sulfonylureas. Women were prescribed lower mean daily doses of sitagliptin both before and after the safety alert (before; women : 59.6 ± 21.8 mg, men: 63.4 ± 24.4 mg, after; women: 57.2 ± 20.1 mg, men: 61.6 ± 23.7 mg) [6]. However, the original manufacturer does not recommend any dose......

According to the original manufacturer, no clinically relevant pharmacokinetic sex differences have been shown [5]. In a Japanese retrospective cohort study (in total 87 678 patients), dose levels of sitagliptin were compared before and after the safety alert on the risk of serious hypoglycemic events with the combination sitagliptin and high-dose sulfonylureas. Women were prescribed lower mean daily doses of sitagliptin both before and after the safety alert (before; women : 59.6 ± 21.8 mg, men: 63.4 ± 24.4 mg, after; women: 57.2 ± 20.1 mg, men: 61.6 ± 23.7 mg) [6]. However, the original manufacturer does not recommend any dose adjustment based on patient’s sex [5]. # Effects  A placebo-controlled trial assessed the effect of sitagliptin treatment on cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in a prospective study in patients with type 2 diabetes and atherosclerotic vascular disease (10 374 men, 4297 women), the Trial Evaluating Cardiovascular Outcomes with Sitagliptin (TECOS) [7]. Sex differences in management and outcomes of the TECOS trial were analyzed [8]. The primary composite outcome of CV death, myocardial infarction, stroke, or hospitalization for unstable angina occurred in 418 women (9.7%) and 1272 men (12.3%; 3.48 vs 4.38 events/100 participant-years, adjusted HR 0.64, 95% CI 0.55-0.74). Women also had a significantly lower risk of secondary CV outcomes and all-cause death (1.58 vs 1.74 events/100 participant-years [adjusted HR 0.55, 95% CI 0.42-0.71) and all-cause death (2.18 vs 2.56 events/100 participant-years, adjusted HR 0.54, 95% CI 0.43-0.67) [8]. Differences in baseline characteristics of patients enrolled in the TECOS trial [7] was examined (10416 men, 4308 women). The prespecified clinical target goals in baseline characteristics were chosen to reflect those consistent with international guidelines at the time of the trial’s inception. The results showed that women were consistently less likely to reach the prespecified treatment target goals assessed at the time of study enrollment (SBP<140 mmHg, DBP<80 mmHg, LDL cholesterol <2.6 mmol/L, aspirin use, and statin use), with the exception of non-smoking status [9]. The effect on metabolic control and on CV risk evolution obtained by “add-on” persistent sitagliptin treatment (100 mg once daily) in a cohort of Italian participants with type 2 diabetes was assessed using the UK Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) Risk Engine (RE). Analysis of sex differences in CV risk evolution evaluated by UKPDS RE (106 men, 64 women) showed a significantly lower CV risk in women (1.33 in men vs 1.12 in women in UKPDS after 48 months) [10]. A post-hoc analysis of pooled data from seven sitagliptin phase II and III clinical trials exploring the factors associated with the glucose-lowering efficacy of sitagliptin treatment in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes (698 men, 370 women) showed no association between HbA1c changes and patient’s sex [11]. # Adverse effects A study evaluated the relative risk of hypoglycemic events in patients (691 men, 481 women) treated with sitagliptin or glipizide after adjusting for the most recently measured HbA1c value. The adjusted hazard ratio for women on either of the two studied drugs was 2.05, indicating that women had a twofold increase in risk of experiencing confirmed hypoglycemia relative to men. In multivariate analysis, female sex was one of the factors associated with a higher risk of hypoglycemia [12]. The risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors versus dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors was evaluated in an observational study from Taiwan. The subgroup analysis showed a lower risk of incident atrial fibrillation for SGLT2 inhibitors (9091 men, 6515 women) versus DPP-4 inhibitors (6911 men, 5472 women) in women compared to men with type 2 diabetes (HR men 0.51, HR women 0.70, p interaction =0.10) [13]. The fracture incidence among participants (10374 men, 4297 women) in the TECOS trial [7] was examined [14]. Although sitagliptin, compared with placebo, was not associated with a higher fracture risk (HR 1.03), adjusted analyses showed a significantly independently increased fracture risk in women (HR 1.95) [14]. A study with data on sitagliptin ever and never users (93858 men, 77860 women) derived from the Taiwan’s National Health Insurance evaluated the risk of heart failure hospitalization. Male sex was significantly associated with a higher risk of heart failure hospitalization in patients ever treated with sitagliptin (HR 1.033 men vs women) [15]. # Reproductive health issues Regarding teratogenic aspects, please consult Janusmed Drugs and Birth Defects (in Swedish, Janusmed fosterpåverkan). # Other information (utelämna om inte tillämpligt) Data from the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA) Monitoring Registry on drug utilization, safety and effectiveness of exenatide, sitagliptin, and vildagliptin showed that the risk of treatment discontinuation of sitagliptin was lower in men than women (20446 men, 18365 women). The authors discuss the relationship between discontinuation rates and adverse effects such as hypoglycemia [16]. An Italian multicenter, case-control, retrospective observational study investigated the effect of sitagliptin as an add-on treatment to standard care insulin administration in patients with type 2 diabetes who were hospitalized with COVID-19 (238 men, 100 women). A time to clinical endpoint subgroup analysis comparing men versus women in the sitagliptin-treated group as compared with those in the standard-of-care group did not show any difference in the clinical outcomes within the group of treatment (HR men 0.44, HR women 0.42) [17].
