Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: Several randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trials in insulin-treated patients with type 2 diabetes have shown that adjunctive therapy with pramlintide reduces hemoglobin (Hb)A1c with concomitant weight loss. This analysis further characterizes the weight-lowering effect of pramlintide in this patient population. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES: This pooled post hoc analysis of two long-term trials included all patients who were overweight/obese at baseline (BMI > 25 kg/m2), and who were treated with either 120 microg pramlintide BID (n = 254; HbA1c 9.2%; weight, 96.1 kg) or placebo (n = 244; HbA1c 9.4%; weight, 95.0 kg). Statistical endpoints included changes from baseline to week 26 in HbA1c, body weight, and insulin use. RESULTS: Pramlintide treatment resulted in significant reductions from baseline to week 26, compared with placebo, in HbA1c and body weight (both, p < 0.0001), for placebo-corrected reductions of -0.41% and -1.8 kg, respectively. Approximately three times the number of patients using pramlintide experienced a > or = 5% reduction of body weight than with placebo (9% vs. 3%, p = 0.0005). Patients using pramlintide also experienced a proportionate decrease in total daily insulin use (r = 0.39, p < 0.0001). The greatest placebo-corrected reductions in weight at week 26 were observed in pramlintide-treated patients with a BMI >40 kg/m2 and in those concomitantly treated with metformin (both, p < 0.001), for placebo-corrected reductions of -3.2 kg and -2.5 kg, respectively. DISCUSSION: These findings support further evaluation of the weight-lowering potential of pramlintide in obese patients with type 2 diabetes.
