Effect of the dual sodium‐glucose co‐transporter‐1 and ‐2 inhibitor sotagliflozin on renal outcomes in type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials

Authors' conclusion

Sotagliflozin did not adversely affect renal function or change the risk of key renal outcomes, including for participants with pre-existing renal impairment. Therefore, sotagliflozin was safe; however, further research is needed to determine its efficacy in reducing the risk of diabetic kidney disease.

Pooled result

As reported in the abstract

Change in eGFR, studies (n = 6) with follow-up ≥52 weeks, mL/min/1.73m2

−1.45, −1.01

Risk of CRE (n = 6 studies), RR [95% CI]: no change, incl. in participants with renal impairment

Composite renal events (CRE)0.82 (0.61–1.12)
  • Composite renal events (CRE): n = 6 studies; no change, including in participants with renal impairment

Urinary albumin excretion

Sotagliflozin did not significantly alter urinary albumin excretion

Baseline eGFR in studies recruiting renal impairment (4 studies)

Baseline eGFR range
23.8 to 50.5 mL/min/1.73m2
