PurposeOur aim was to investigate the long-term efficacy and safety of canagliflozin, a sodium−glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor, added to background sulfonylurea (SU) monotherapy for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.MethodsThe CANagliflozin cardioVascularAssessment Study (CANVAS) was a double-blind, placebo-controlled cardiovascular outcomes study that randomly assigned participants to receive placebo or canagliflozin 100 or 300 mg once daily in addition to routine therapy. CANVAS included a prespecified SU substudy of patients taking background doses of SU monotherapy; data from the primary efficacy evaluation at 18 weeks have been published previously. We performed a retrospective analysis of the SU substudy at 52 weeks to measure long-term efficacy and safety of canagliflozin used with an SU. The primary objective of the long-term extension was to assess the change from baseline to 52 weeks in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c).FindingsA total of 215 patients were included in the 52-week extension study. Patients receiving both 100-mg and 300-mg doses of canagliflozin achieved a sustained reduction in HbA1c relative to patients receiving placebo (−0.61% [95% CI, −0.941% to −0.282%] and −0.66% [95% CI, −0.993% to −0.332%], respectively), regardless of baseline HbA1c, duration of diabetes, SU dose, estimated glomerular filtration rate, or body mass index. A sustained reduction in fasting plasma glucose was also found in both 100-mg and 300-mg groups, relative to the placebo group (−2.04 mmol/L [95% CI, −2.778 to −1.299 mmol/L] and −1.88 mmol/L [95% CI, −2.623 to −1.146 mmol/L], respectively). Weight was reduced significantly at 52 weeks in both 100-mg and 300-mg groups, relative to placebo (−1.9% [95% CI, −3.2% to −0.7%] and −2.0% [95% CI, −3.2% to –0.7%], respectively). Reduction in systolic blood pressure was also reported for both dose groups relative to the placebo group, but there was no clear difference in HDL-C, LDL-C, or triglyceride levels. Canagliflozin was generally well tolerated. While documented hypoglycemia occurred in 14% of patients on placebo, the frequency of hypoglycemia with the addition of canagliflozin was similar. There was an increased frequency of genital mycotic infections in both men (5.1%) and women (10.4%) in both canagliflozin groups combined, relative to the placebo group (0%), and their frequency increased in the higher-dose group. There was a slightly higher rate of renal impairment in those treated with canagliflozin versus placebo (2.1% vs 0%).ImplicationsAfter 52 weeks, patients receiving canagliflozin added to background SU had sustained reductions in HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose, without increasing hypoglycemia and body weight; safety findings were generally consistent with the known safety profile of the drug.
