Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Evidence of a direct comparison between dipeptidyl-peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP-4is) and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) remains lacking, and no clear treatment strategy or rationale has been established using these drugs. This study aimed to compare the overall efficacy and safety of DPP-4is and the SGLT2i luseogliflozin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: Patients with T2DM who had not used antidiabetic agents or who had used antidiabetic agents other than SGLT2is and DPP-4is were enrolled in the study after written informed consent had been obtained. The enrolled patients were subsequently randomly assigned to either the luseogliflozin or DPP-4i group and followed up for 52 weeks. The primary (composite) endpoint was the proportion of patients who showed improvement in ≥ 3 endpoints among the following five endpoints from baseline to week 52: glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), weight, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), systolic blood pressure, and pulse rate. RESULTS: ) or age (< 65 or ≥ 65 years), regardless of BMI or age, the proportion of patients who achieved the composite endpoint was significantly higher in the luseogliflozin group than in the DPP-4i group. Hepatic function and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol were also significantly improved in the luseogliflozin group compared with the DPP-4i group. The frequency of non-serious/serious adverse events did not differ between the groups. CONCLUSION: This study showed the overall efficacy of luseogliflozin compared with DPP-4is over the mid/long term, regardless of BMI or age. The results suggest the importance of assessing multiple aspects regarding the effects of diabetes management. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: jRCTs031180241.
