Association of type III collagen turnover with cardiovascular outcomes and impact with canagliflozin in the CANVAS Program: A post hoc analysis

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Post hoc analysis of the CANVAS Program biomarker substudy

Authors' conclusion

The changes in PRO-C3 and CTX-III reflect a shift in the dynamics of COL3 turnover following treatment with canagliflozin. These biomarkers are promising pharmacodynamic tools that can be used to monitor the impact of canagliflozin treatment and possibly other sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors on tissue remodelling in future interventional trials.

Study context

Population

Comparison
Canagliflozin vs placebo

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

COL III turnover biomarkers (PRO-C3, C3M, CTX-III) and clinical outcomes (HF hospitalization, CV death, all-cause mortality) · baseline and year 3
  • Higher baseline PRO-C3 and C3M associated with increased incidence of all investigated outcomes
  • Baseline CTX-III not associated with any investigated outcome
  • PRO-C3 decreased and CTX-III increased following canagliflozin treatment
  • Increase in PRO-C3 from baseline to year 3 in placebo arm associated with increased incidence of CV outcomes
  • Increase in PRO-C3 from baseline to year 3 in all participants associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality
