The DEPICT-2 trial (NCT02460978) evaluated the efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin (DAPA) as add-on to adjustable insulin (INS) in patients (pts) with inadequately controlled T1D (A1c 7.5-10.5%) over 24 weeks. This phase 3 study randomized pts 1:1:1 to DAPA 5 mg (n=271), 10 mg (n=270) or placebo (PBO; n=272) plus INS. INS dose could be adjusted by the investigator according to self-monitored blood glucose readings, local guidance and individual circumstances. At Week 24, DAPA 5 and 10 mg significantly decreased A1c (0.37% and 0.42% reductions in the DAPA 5 mg and 10 mg groups respectively), total daily insulin dose (TDD), and body weight (Table). As measured by masked continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), mean interstitial glucose, mean amplitude of glucose excursion (MAGE) and mean percent of readings within target glycemic range (&gt;70-≤180 mg/dL) vs. PBO were improved. There was an increase in pts who reduced their A1c by ≥0.5% without severe hypoglycemia (odds ratios [95% CI]: 2.71 [1.81, 4.06] and 3.07 [2.05, 4.60] for DAPA 5 and 10 mg respectively). Hypoglycemic events, including severe hypoglycemia were balanced between treatment groups. There were more adjudicated definite diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) events on DAPA.
In conclusion, DAPA vs. PBO as add-on to INS in pts with T1D was well tolerated, improved glycemic control and decreased variability without increasing hypoglycemia but with more DKA events.
