PG - 107867 LID - S0168-8227(19)30511-X [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.diabres.2019.107867 [doi] AB - AIM: To evaluate the efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of ipragliflozin as an add-on therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science and four Chinese databases, as well as the ClinicalTrials.gov website were searched from their inception through Jan 2019. Methodological quality was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias, and meta-analysis was performed using RevMan5.3. RESULTS: A total of 11 randomized controlled trials with 1766 patients were included. Ipragliflozin administered (50 mg) once daily as an add-on therapy to other glucose-lowering medications (metformin, pioglitazone, sulfonylurea, alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, sitagliptin, insulin) was associated with reductions in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) of -0.74% (95% confidence interval (CI) -1.00 to -0.48), fasting plasma glucose (WMD -25.03 mg/dL; 95% CI -32.89 to -17.16), weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, and triglycerides levels. Neither the incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) (RR 1.08; 95% CI 1.00 to 1.16) nor drug-related TEAEs (RR 1.19; 95% CI 0.93 to 1.54) was significantly increased. However, it was associated with an increased risk of hypoglycemia when added to insulin (RR 1.71; 95% CI 1.13 to 2.61). Compared with the pioglitazone group and the sitagliptin + metformin group, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of ipragliflozin add-on therapy group was $4976.89, $2089.76 per percentage of qualified HbA1c, respectively. CONCLUSION: Ipragliflozin as an add-on therapy is well tolerated and effective. Ipragliflozin as an add-on therapy do not appear cost-effective compared with metformin alone, but may be competitive against pioglitazone group and the sitagliptin + metformin group.
