PG - 625-631 LID - 10.1080/14740338.2020.1740679 [doi] AB - Objectives: The dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor vildagliptin is indicated for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the long-term safety, effectiveness, and clinical relationship with cardiovascular events of vildagliptin have not been evaluated in Japan.Methods: The authors conducted post-marketing surveillance (PMS) to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of vildagliptin in more than 3000 Japanese T2DM patients for up to 3 years. Main assessments included demographics, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), adverse events (AEs), adverse drug reactions (ADRs), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c).Results: In this PMS, 3831 patients (775 sites) were registered in April 2010 - April 2012. The safety analysis population comprised 3769 patients; 2085 patients were aged >/=65 years, and 240, 411, and 114 had renal impairment, hepatic impairment, and heart failure, respectively. The median treatment duration was 2.7 years. The incidence of MACE was 6.04 cases/1000 person-years, mostly attributable to cerebrovascular events (4.27 cases/1000 person-years). The AE and ADR incidences were 26.0% and 5.3%, respectively. The incidence of hypoglycemia was 0.6%. No significant changes in body weight occurred and mean change in HbA1c from baseline at final assessment was -0.74 +/- 1.41% (p < 0.0001).Conclusions: In real-world clinical settings, vildagliptin was well tolerated, with similar profiles as previously reported.
