ADA Treatment Algorithm in Patients With T2DM and CVD First-line therapy: metformin + lifestyle change

Consider independently of baseline A1c or individualized A1c target Established ASCVD or high ASCVD risk Preferably GLP-1 RA with proven CVD benefit OR SGLT2 inhibitor with proven CVD benefit if eGFR is adequate

If HbA1c above target If further intensification is required or patient cannot tolerate GLP-1 RA or SGLT2 inhibitor: Consider adding SGLT2 inhibitor with proven CVD benefit in patients on GLP-1 RA, DPP-4 inhibitor if not on GLP-1 RA, basal insulin, TZD, or SU

Adverse Events of Special Interest SGLT2 Inhibitor CVOTs

EMPA-REG1 Empagliflozin

• Significantly more genital infections vs placebo • Significantly less AKI vs placebo • No difference in fractures, DKA, hypoglycemia vs placebo

CANVAS2 Canagliflozin

• Significantly more amputations, fractures, genital infections vs placebo • No difference in DKA, hypoglycemia, AKI vs placebo

DECLARE-TIMI 583 Dapagliflozin

• Significantly more genital infections, DKA vs placebo • Significantly less hypoglycemia, AKI vs placebo • No difference in fractures, amputations vs placebo

AKI, acute kidney injury; DKA, diabetic ketoacidosis. 1. Zinman B, et al. N Engl J Med. 2015;373(22):2117-2128; 2. Neal B, et al. N Engl J Med. 2017;377(7):644-657; 3. Wiviott SD, et al. N Engl J Med. 2019;380(4):347-357.


Considerations When Prescribing an SGLT2 Inhibitor

• Significantly increased risk of diabetic ketoacidosis in CVOTs (~2-fold) in patients receiving SGLT2 inhibitors1 – Low event rates

• Significant heterogeneity in fracture risk and amputations seen in CVOTs of SGLT2 inhibitors1

– Worse in CANVAS Program but no clear signal in non-CANVAS trials of canagliflozin or in other SGLT2 inhibitors2,3

• Increased frequency of genital mycotic infections, particularly in women4 – Due to increased glucose concentrations in urine

• Reports of Fournier gangrene5

– Assess patients who report pain, erythema, or swelling in genital or perineal area along with fever or malaise

ADA Treatment Algorithm in Patients With T2DM and HF First-line therapy: metformin + lifestyle change

Consider independently of baseline A1c or individualized A1c target HF Predominates • Particularly HFrEF (LVEF <45%) Preferably SGLT2i with evidence of reducing HF and/or CKD progression in CVOTs if eGFR adequate OR If SGLT2 inhibitor is not tolerated, is contraindicated, or eGFR is less than adequate add GLP-1 RA with proven CVD benefit

If HbA1c above target Avoid TZD in patients with HF, consider adding GLP-1 RA with proven CVD benefit for patients on SGLT2 inhibitor, DPP-4 inhibitor (not saxagliptin) in HF if not on GLP-1 RA, basal insulin, SU LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; SGLT2i, SGLT2 inhibitor.

• HbA1c, 8% • CKD stage 3 • eGFR, 52 mL/min/1.73 m2 • UACR, 300 mg/g


Comprehensive Patient Assessment Is Your Patient at Risk for CKD?

• CKD occurs in 20%-40% of patients with diabetes • Annual screening is recommended – UACR • Normal is <30 mg/g

– eGFR • Calculate from serum Cr using CKD-EPI or another validated equation • If <60 mL/min/1.73 m2, evaluate and manage potential complications of CKD

– Serum electrolytes

ADA Treatment Algorithm in Patients With T2DM and CKD First-line therapy: metformin + lifestyle change

Consider independently of baseline A1c or individualized A1c target CKD Predominates • Specifically eGFR 30-60 mL/min/1.73 m2 or UACR >30 mg/g, particularly UACR >300 mg/g Preferably SGLT2i with evidence of reducing HF and/or CKD progression in CVOTs if eGFR adequate OR If SGLT2 inhibitor is not tolerated, is contraindicated, or eGFR is less than adequate add GLP-1 RA with proven CVD benefit

If HbA1c above target Avoid TZD in patients with HF, consider adding GLP-1 RA with proven CVD benefit for patients on SGLT2 inhibitor, DPP-4 inhibitor (not saxagliptin) in HF if not on GLP-1 RA, basal insulin, SU ADA. Diabetes Care. 2020;43(suppl 1):S98-S110.

Based on these results, canagliflozin received FDA approval in September 2019 to reduce the risk of ESRD, doubling of serum creatinine, CV death, and hHF in adults with T2DM and diabetic nephropathy with albuminuria. ESRD, end stage renal disease. N=4401 adults (67% white, 5% black) with T2DM and CKD, defined as eGFR 30 to <90 mL/min/1.73 m2 and UACR >300-5000 mg/g, who were taking either an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor or angiotensin-receptor blocker (ARB) were randomized to either canagliflozin 100 mg or placebo daily.

Summary • Reciprocal pathophysiologic connections between T2DM and CVD, HF, and CKD • SGLT2 inhibitor CVOT, HF, and renal trial data demonstrate multidimensional efficacy and safety in common T2DM comorbidities • Recently updated guidelines state CVD, HF, and CKD should be considered independently of HbA1c when selecting treatment • Referral and collaboration with nephrologists and cardiologists are necessary to individualize treatment
