Abstract

<h4>Aim</h4>To assess the efficacy and safety of ipragliflozin as add-on therapy to metformin in Russian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.<h4>Methods</h4>In this double-blind study conducted in 14 centers in Russia, 165 patients were randomized 2:1 to ipragliflozin (50 mg/day) or placebo for 24 weeks while continuing metformin. Patients who had HbA1c ≥ 7.0% (53 mmol/mol) at Week 12 received open-label ipragliflozin (50 mg/day) in addition to the blinded drug from Week 12-24.<h4>Results</h4>Significant reductions in HbA1c and body weight from baseline to Week 12 in favor of ipragliflozin were observed (adjusted mean difference to placebo: -0.3% (-3 mmol/mol), P = 0.048 and -1.34 kg, P < 0.001, respectively). The incidence of AEs was similar in both groups. Uptitration to 100 mg/day ipragliflozin led to a further reduction in body weight (mean change from Week 12: -0.65 kg, P = 0.004) and an additional 13% (9/69) of patients achieving HbA1c < 7.0% (53 mmol/mol) at Week 24. Incidence of AEs was similar among patients receiving ipragliflozin 50 mg/day (23.7%) and 100 mg/day (24.6%).<h4>Conclusion</h4>Ipragliflozin 50 mg/day added to metformin significantly reduced HbA1c and body weight after 12 weeks and showed a safety profile comparable to placebo. Uptitration to 100 mg/day improved clinical outcomes with no additional safety concerns.
