Liraglutide and Renal Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes.
2017
BACKGROUND: In a randomized, controlled trial that compared liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 analogue, with placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes and high cardiovascular risk who were receiving usual care, we found that liraglutide resulted in lower risks of the primary end point (nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or death from cardiovascular causes) and death. However, the long-term effects of liraglutide on renal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes are unknown. METHODS: We report the prespecified secondary renal outcomes of that randomized, controlled trial in which patients were assigned to receive liraglutide or placebo. The secondary renal outcome was a co…

Diversa efficacia clinica e biochimica della terapia con liraglutide in una popolazione di diabetici di tipo 2 in relazione ai valori basali di HbA1c
2016
Background: I criteri AIFA di rimborsabilità dei farmaci ad azione incretino-mimetica limitano notevolmente l’utilizzo degli stessi ad un range molto ristretto di HbA1c alla prima prescrizione(7,5-8,5%), escludendone quindi dal loro utilizzo i pazienti con più severo scompenso glicometabolico. Obiettivi: Valutare la diversa efficacia di liraglutide durante i primi 12 mesi di terapia in relazione ai valori di HbA1c di partenza. Metodi: Sono stati retroattivamente valutati i dati clinici e metabolici di 62 pazienti diabetici di tipo 2 (38 M, 24 F, range età 29-74 aa, range durata di malattia 0-30 aa) trattati in un periodo antecedente l’entrata in vigore dei limiti di rimborsabilità AIFA, in …
Liraglutide Reduces Carotid Intima-Media Thickness by Reducing Small Dense Low-Density Lipoproteins in a Real-World Setting of Patients with Type 2 D…

Introduction: Liraglutide has several non-glycemic effects, including those on plasma lipids and lipoproteins, contributing to its cardiovascular benefit; however, the exact underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We investigated a novel anti-atherogenic effect of liraglutide in a real-world prospective study on patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Methods: Sixty-two patients with T2DM (31 men, 31 women; mean age ± standard deviation 61 ± 9 years) naïve to incretin-based therapies were treated with liraglutide (1.2 mg/day) as add-on therapy to metformin (1500–3000 mg/day) for 4 months. Laboratory analyses included the assessment of lipoprotein subclass profile by gel electrophoresis (Lipopri…
