PICO 4: In patients with T2D and either atherosclerotic CVD (ASCVD) or high CV risk, what is the role of novel anti-hyperglycemic agents compared with placebo for reduction of a composite of CV death, nonfatal MI, or nonfatal stroke?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initial trial that used empagliflozin published in 2015, through to the most recent trial that used efpeglenatide published in 2021 were evaluated in detail in the accompanying systematic review and meta-analysis.[7]<\/a><\/sup> Table 1 shows that MACE was reduced similarly by both classes with a relative risk reduction of 12%-14%. These classes were also associated with similar relative risk reductions in all-cause (12%-15%) and CV mortality (13%-15%). Reduction in nonfatal MI was noted only with SGLT2i but the effect was modest (10% relative risk reduction). Because this effect was not statistically different from the neutral effects on nonfatal MI associated with the GLP-1RA class, we make no recommendation on the basis of this end point. The SGLT2i class showed significant relative risk reduction for the prevention of the composite kidney outcomes (35%) and for hospitalization for HF (32%) compared with placebo and superior to GLP-1RA. As noted previously, currently we do not have any large clinical trials for the treatment of HF or CKD in patients with or without T2D using GLP-1RA. Finally, the important but less common outcome of nonfatal stroke was reduced with GLP-1RA, particularly in the Semaglutide Unabated Sustainability in Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes (SUSTAIN) 6 trial (semaglutide once weekly injection) and Researching Cardiovascular Events With a Weekly Incretin in Diabetes (REWIND; dulaglu- tide) trials.[9]<\/a>,[46]<\/a>,[47]<\/a><\/sup> The systematic review and meta-analysis (Table 1) indicate a relative risk reduction of nonfatal stroke of 16% associated with use of GLP-1RA.<\/p>\n\n\n
