7. Diabetes and CKD
Kidney disease is a frequent diabetic complication
‒ Type 1 diabetes ~30%
‒ Type 2 diabetes ~40%
Diabetes is the most common cause of CKD and ESRD in the
developed and developing worlds
‒ Diabetes prevalence in US ESRD patients: 66%-86%
depending on race
Diabetic kidney disease amplifies CVD risk
‒ Much of diabetes-associated excess CVD risk occurs in
diabetic kidney disease

16. Rational of treating diabetes in CKD
You are treating diabetes → reducing albuminuria →
reducing CKD
The benefits of intensive glycemic control must be
balanced against the potential harm i.e., hypo and drug AE
Hypoglycemia may occur = may be a sign that CKD has
progressed.
37. Overall summary of adverse events by treatment and severity of renal impairment
Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism 14: 1032–1039, 2012
38. Hypoglycemic
events was
less in
vildagliptin
treated arm
• The incidence of hypoglycemia with vildagliptin
in this study (26% in patients with moderate renal
impairment and 18% in those with severe renal
failure) appears to be lower than the one expected
(<50%) in patients with long-standing T2DM and
low baseline HbA1c receiving insulin with or
without OADs.
40. • The most likely mechanistic
explanation for vildagliptin's
protective effect is increased
GIP-mediated stimulation of
glucagon release in response to
initial plasma glucose reduction.
58. Recommended dose adjustment for DPP4i patients with CKD

61. Problem
• There is increasing evidence
that glycemic disorders such as
rapid glucose fluctuations over a
daily period might play an
important role on diabetic
complications
62.
63. Study Design
• The efficacy of sitagliptin 100 mg once daily vs.
vildagliptin 50 mg twice daily on daily blood
glucose fluctuations in patients with type 2
diabetes that was inadequately controlled by
metformin
• Number: 38
• Duration: 3 months
64. Procedure
• 48-hour CGM was performed in patients treated
with metformin plus vildagliptin (n=18) or sitagliptin
(n=20) over a period of 3 months.
• The mean amplitude of glycemic excursions
(MAGE) was used for assessing glucose fluctuations
during the day.
• During a standardized meal, glucagon-like peptide-
1 (GLP-1), glucagon, and insulin were measured.
65. Vildagliptin
• Although similar
in DPP-4 inhibition,
the differences in
PK profiles may
induce a different
activity over day
Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications 24 (2010) 79–83
66. Inter-prandial
plasma GLP-1
• Significant higher level of inter-prandial plasma
GLP-1 levels following 3 month compared to
sitagliptin
Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications 24 (2010) 79–83
67. Significant more inter-prandial plasma glucagon suppression levels
following 3 months compared to sitagliptin
Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications 24 (2010) 79–83
68. Vildagliptin showed
significant reduction in
glucose fluctuation,
MAGE, by 51 %
compared with
Sitagliptin... Hence
reduces oxidative
stress... Reduces free
radical... Less
complications
Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications 24 (2010) 79–83
69. Final Bottom-line
• Vildagliptin could be used in any degree of renal impairment if used according to product labeling
• Fit in any renal scenario
• Safety similar to placebo
• Less glycemic fluctuation
70. In CKD with diabetes
“after utilizing
nephroprotective
SGLT2i” there is no
treatment of choice,
rather there is choice of
treatment
Evidence that intensive glycemic control reduces the kidney complications of diabetes is based almost exclusively on prevention of micro- and macro-albuminuria.
The risk for hypoglycemia may increase as CKD progresses.
Circulating levels of insulin are higher due to reduced catabolism by the kidneys.
Insulin prescription may be reduced.
Oral medications may change.
Discuss importance of notifying healthcare team of any increase in hypoglycemia with the patient.
In a double-blind, randomized, parallel-group, 52-week clinical trial with 369 patient of T2DM and moderate or severe Renal impairment for comparing safety and efficacy of vildagliptin (50mg qd, n= 216) and placebo (n= 153) when added to ongoing stable antihyperglycaemic treatment, Kothny et al demonstrated that vildagliptin in addition to on going antihyperglycemic therapy had a safety profile similar to placebo during 1-year observation with a clinically significant and consistent decrease in A1C throughout 1-year with vildagliptin treatment.
In summary, this is the largest long-term experience with a DPP-4 inhibitor reported thus far in patients with T2DM and moderate or severe RI.
Treatment with vildagliptin (50 mg qd) added to ongoing antidiabetic therapy was well tolerated, with a safety profile comparable to placebo. Key findings for the clinician are that the robust improvements in glycaemic control seen after 24 weeks were maintained at 52 weeks, with A1C reductions of ∼0.6% (from a baseline of 7.8% in moderate RI and ∼0.8% (from a baseline 7.8% in severe RI), and that the long-term safety data continue to support vildagliptin safety in this vulnerable patient population, with no new safety signals identified.
The effect of vildagliptin in T2DM patients with ESRD on hemodialysis has been directly assessed in a 24-week, prospective, open-label, controlled study.
Vildagliptin, given to 30 patients at 50–100 mg/day, decreased HbA1c levels from 6.7% to 6.1%. Consensually, postprandial plasma glucose decreased from 186 to 140 mg/dL in the absence of serious AEs such as severe hypoglycemia or liver impairment. Although long-term follow-up of these patients is necessary to confirm this efficacy, vildagliptin could be considered as an alternative to insulin in patients on hemodialysis. Long-term observation is also advisable with respect to safety. Very recently, two cases of pancreatitis associated with incretin-based therapies in ESRD patients undergoing dialysis have been reported: a 75-year-old woman with a history of liraglutide use and a 68-year-old man on vildagliptin.36 Whether, ESRD may represent a condition at high risk for pancreatitis remains to be elucidated.
New-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) is a serious complication after kidney transplantation, but therapeutic strategies remain underexplored.Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors selectively foster insulin secretion without inducing hypoglycemia, which might be advantageous in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) with NODAT. We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase II trial to assess safety and efficacy of the DPP-4 inhibitor vildagliptin. Intraindividual differences in oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)-derived 2-h plasma glucose (2HPG) from baseline to 3 months after treatment served as primary endpoint. Among secondary outcomes, we evaluated HbA1c, metabolic and safety parameters, as well as OGTTs at 1 month after drug discontinuation. Of 509 stable KTRs who were screened in our outpatient clinic, 63 (12.4%) had 2HPG 200 mg/dL, 33 of them were randomized and 32 completed the study. In the vildagliptin group 2HPG and HbA1c were profoundly reduced in comparison to placebo (vildagliptin: 2HPG ¼ 182.7 mg/dL, HbA1c ¼ 6.1%; placebo: 2HPG ¼ 231.2 mg/dL, HbA1c ¼ 6.5%; both p 0.05), and statistical significance was achieved for the primary endpoint (vildagliptin: 2HPG-difference 73.7 51.3 mg/dL; placebo: 5.7 41.4 mg/dL; p < 0.01). Adverse events were generally mild and occurred at similar rates in both groups. In conclusion, DPP-4 inhibition in KTRs with overt NODAT was safe and efficient, providing a novel treatment alternative for this specific form of diabetes.
We were able to demonstrate that the DPP-4 inhibitor vildagliptin was highly efficient in achieving adequate glycemic control after short-term treatment.
Furthermore, vildagliptin was expectably safe regarding hypoglycemic episodes. Adverse events were mild and appeared at similar rates in both study arms. Thus, vildagliptin proved to be a safe and efficient treatment option against NODAT in KTRs, and provides a suitable alternative for this specific form of diabetes.
Although similar in DPP-4 inhibition, the differences in pharmacokinetic profiles may induce a different activity over a daily period:
Plasma DPP-4 activity is inhibited by almost 100% already at 15–30 min, and 80% inhibition lasts for almost 14 h after a single dose of sitagliptin at 100 mg
Vildagliptin at 50 mg bid inhibits DPP- 4 activity by almost 97% over a 24 hrs period
Plasma DPP-4 activity is inhibited by almost 100% already at 15–30 min, and 80% inhibition lasts for almost 14 h after a single dose of sitagliptin at 100 mg
Vildagliptin at 50 mg bid inhibits DPP- 4 activity by almost 97% over a 24 hrs period
This data suggests that the DPP-4 inhibition therapy should target not only reducing HbA1c, PPG, and mean hyperglycemia but also flattening acute glucose fluctuations over a daily period
When administered according to the product labelling, vildagliptin is an effective and well tolerated therapy choice for individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus, including those with any degree of renal impairment.
Patients with advanced type 2 diabetes and poor renal function who require insulin therapy and present a severe therapeutic challenge in clinical practice may benefit from vildagliptin.
From my opinion, in CKD with diabetes “after utilizing nephroprotective SGLT2i” there is no treatment of choice, rather there is choice of treatment
