Background
A substantial proportion of patients with type
2 diabetes are elderly (≥65 years) but this
group has been largely excluded from
clinical studies of glucose-lowering drugs.
We aimed to assess the effectiveness of
linagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor,
in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.
Methods
In this randomised, double-blind, parallel-group,
multinational phase 3 study, patients aged 70 years or
older with type 2 diabetes, glycated haemoglobin A1c
(HbA1c) of 7・0% or more, receiving metformin,
sulfonylureas, or basal insulin, or combinations of these
drugs, were randomised (by computer-generated
randomisation sequence, concealed with a voice–
response system, stratified by HbA1c level [<8・5% vs
≥8・5%] and insulin use [yes vs no], block size four) in a
2:1 ratio to once-daily oral treatment with linagliptin 5 mg
or matching placebo for 24 weeks. Investigators and
participants were masked to assignment throughout the
study. The primary endpoint was change in HbA1c from
baseline to week 24. This trial is registered with
ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01084005.

combined comorbidity index. J Clin Epidemiol 1994; 47: 1245–51.
The mean Charlson
age-comorbidity score
of more than 5
suggests a highrisk
population.
The Charlson comorbidity index predicts the ten-year mortality for a patient who may have a range of comorbid conditions, such as
heart disease, AIDS, or cancer (a total of 22 conditions). Each condition is assigned a score of 1, 2, 3, or 6, depending on the risk of
dying associated with each one. Scores are summed to provide a total score to predict mortality. Many variations of the Charlson
comorbidity index have been presented, including the Charlson/Deyo, Charlson/Romano, Charlson/Manitoba, and
Charlson/D'Hoores comorbidity indices.
Clinical conditions and associated scores are as follows:
1 each: Myocardial infarct, congestive heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, dementia, cerebrovascular disease, chronic lung
disease, connective tissue disease, ulcer, chronic liver disease, diabetes.
2 each: Hemiplegia, moderate or severe kidney disease, diabetes with end organ damage, tumor, leukemia, lymphoma.
3 each: Moderate or severe liver disease.
6 each: Malignant tumor, metastasis, AIDS.
For a physician, this score is helpful in deciding how aggressively to treat a condition. For example, a patient may have cancer with
comorbid heart disease and diabetes. These comorbidities may be so severe that the costs and risks of cancer treatment would
outweigh its short-term benefit.
Since patients often do not know how severe their conditions are, nurses were originally supposed to review a patient's chart and
determine whether a particular condition was present in order to calculate the index. Subsequent studies have adapted the
comorbidity index into a questionnaire for patients.

Findings
241 community-living outpatients were randomised (162
linagliptin, 79 placebo). Mean age was 74・9 years (SD 4・3).
Mean HbA1c was 7・8% (SD 0・8). At week 24, placeboadjusted mean change in HbA1c with linagliptin was −0・64%
(95% CI −0・81 to −0・48, p<0・0001). Overall safety and
tolerability were much the same between the linagliptin and
placebo groups; 75・9% of patients in both groups had an
adverse event (linagliptin n=123, placebo n=60). No deaths
occurred. Serious adverse events occurred in 8・6% (14) of
patients in the linagliptin group and 6・3% (fi ve) patients in the
placebo group; none were deemed related to study drug.
Hypoglycaemia was the most common adverse event in both
groups, but did not differ between groups (24・1% [39] in the
linagliptin group, 16・5% [13] in the placebo group; odds ratio 1・
58, 95% CI 0・78–3・78, p=0・2083).
Interpretation
In elderly patients with type 2 diabetes
linagliptin was efficacious in lowering
glucose with a safety profile similar to
placebo. These findings could inform
treatment decisions for achieving
individualised glycaemic goals with minimal
risk in this important population of patients.

Background
Sodium–glucose cotransporter 2
(SGLT2) inhibitors improve glycaemia
in patients with type 2 diabetes by
enhancing urinary glucose excretion.
We compared the efficacy and safety of
canagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, with
glimepiride in patients with type 2
diabetes inadequately controlled with
metformin.
Methods
We undertook this 52 week, randomised, double-blind, activecontrolled, phase 3 non-inferiority trial at 157 centres in 19 countries
between Aug 28, 2009, and Dec 21, 2011. Patients aged 18–80
years with type 2 diabetes and glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) of
7・0–9・5% on stable metformin were randomly assigned (1:1:1) by
computergenerated random sequence via an interactive voice or web
response system to receive canagliflozin 100 mg or 300 mg, or
glimepiride (up-titrated to 6 mg or 8 mg per day) orally once daily.
Patients, study investigators, and local sponsor personnel were
masked to treatment. The primary endpoint was change in HbA1c
from baseline to week 52, with a non-inferiority margin of 0・3% for
the comparison of each canagliflozin dose with glimepiride. If
noninferiority was shown, we assessed superiority on the basis of an
upper bound of the 95% CI for the difference of each canagliflozin
dose versus glimepiride of less than 0・0%. Analysis was done in a
modified intention-to-treat population, including all randomised
patients who received at least one dose of study drug.
This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00968812.

Findings
1450 of 1452 randomised patients received at least one dose of
glimepiride (n=482), canagliflozin 100 mg (n=483), or canagliflozin
300 mg (n=485). For lowering of HbA1c at 52 weeks, canagliflozin
100 mg was non-inferior to glimepiride (least-squares mean
difference –0・01% [95% CI –0・11 to 0・09]), and canaglifl ozin
300 mg was superior to glimepiride (–0・12% [–0・22 to –0・02]).
39 (8%) patients had serious adverse events in the glimepiride
group versus 24 (5%) in the canagliflozin 100 mg group and 26
(5%) in the 300 mg group. In the canagliflozin 100 mg and 300 mg
groups versus the glimepiride group, we recorded a greater
number of genital mycotic infections (women: 26 [11%] and 34
[14%] vs five [2%]; men: 17 [7%] and 20 [8%] vs three [1%]),
urinary tract infections (31 [6%] for both canagliflozin doses vs 22
[5%]), and osmotic diuresis-related events (pollakiuria: 12 [3%] for
both doses vs one [<1%]; polyuria: four [<1%] for both doses vs
two [<1%]).
Interpretation
Canaglifl ozin provides greater HbA1c
reduction than does glimepiride, and is well
tolerated in patients with type 2 diabetes
receiving metformin. These fi ndings
support the use of canaglifl ozin as a viable
treatment option for patients who do not
achieve suffi cient glycaemic control with
metformin therapy.

100mg群の非劣性、300mg群の優位性を確認
2009年8月28日~2011年12月21日までに19ヵ国157施設から1,450例が登録され、グリメピリド群に482例、カナグリフロジン 100mg群に

良好な安全性プロフィール、浸透圧利尿関連イベントは多い傾向
重篤な有害事象は、カナグリフロジン 100 mg群が24例(5%)、300mg群が26例(5%)、グリメピリド群は39例(8%)に認められた。
カナグリフロジン群で多い有害事象として性器真菌感染症が挙げられ、女性では100mg群が26例(11%)、300mg群が34例(14%)で、グリ
メピリド群は5例(2%)であり、男性では100mg群が17例(7%)、300mg群が20例(8%)で、グリメピリド群は3例(1%)だった。
