Pharmacogenetics of sodium‐glucose co‐transporter‐2 inhibitors: Validation of a sex‐agnostic pharmacodynamic biomarker

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Pilot pharmacodynamic study

Authors' conclusion

Normalizing data relative to creatinine excretion will facilitate including data from males and females in a single analysis.

Study context

Population
Healthy volunteers without diabetes, eGFR >60 mL/min/1.73m2
Participants
30 healthy volunteers
Outcome
Acute changes in mean biomarker levels after canagliflozin 300 mg
Methodological detailssingle-group
  • Single-group

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

FPG change, mg/dL (P = 6 × 10-5)

−4.1

Serum creatinine change, mg/dL (P = 8 × 10-4)

+0.05

Serum uric acid change, mg/dL (P = 5 × 10-10)

−0.90

Further findings

Sex effect on glucosuria

Males' responses greater when normalized to body surface area
≈60%
Males and females similar when expressed as g urinary glucose per g creatinine

Correlates of glucosuria magnitude

Glucosuria not significantly correlated with FPG, eGFR or age
