DPP-4 inhibitor therapy should target not only reducing HbA1c but also
flattening acute glucose fluctuation over a daily period
Continuous subcutaneous glucose monitoring (CSGM) shows large MAGE
decrements in vildagliptin group compared with sitagliptin group
A marked increase in GLP-1 occurred during interprandial period in
vildagliptin bid-treated toward sitagliptin 100 mg once daily
Glucagon was more suppressed during interprandial period in receiving
vildagliptin compared to those receiving sitagliptin

Rapid glucose fluctuation over daily period plays
importance role on diabetic complication
Exposure to glycemic disorder can be described as a function of two
components
- The duration and magnitude of chronic sustained
hyperglycemia (HbA1c)
- Acute fluctuations of glucose over a daily period; when
MAGE is greater, glycemic instability is higher
Acute fluctuations of glucose around a mean value has been proved
independent of mean glycemic and may be due to
1. Defects in insulin secretion
2. Suppression of glucagon secretion

Example of MAGE calculation
48 hr continuous blood glucose analyses (CBGA)
24 h
24 h
MAGE is calculated for
each subject by taking the
arithmetic mean of blood
glucose increase or
decrease (nadir to peak)
when both ascending and
descending segments
exceeded the value of one
standard variation of blood
glucose for the same 24-hr

The effect of DPP-4 inhibitors on glycemic control
 Many studies have shown that DPP-4 inhibitors (Vildagliptin and Sitagliptin)
can enhance GLP-1 level and prolong its effects for glycemic control
 They have been proved to enhance glucose-induced insulin secretion,
decrease glucagon secretion, and reduce postprandial glycemic
excursions
 By mechanism of action, the potency of stabilizing DPP-4 inhibition offer
the better regulation of daily glucose fluctuations
 Chronic hyperglycemia has been associated with increased risk of diabetic
complication and mean amplitude glucose excursion (MAGE) is also linked
with the activation of oxidative stress, which is the main mechanisms that
lead to chronic diabetic complication

 Patients were prior inadequately controlled by metformin max dose (3000 mg/d) and randomized to
treat with either Vildagliptin 50 mg bid or Sitagliptin 100 OD on to metformin over a period of 3 mo.
 CSGM shows large MAGE decrements in the vildagliptin group compared with Sitagliptin group

The difference can be seen as early as 1.5 - 3
hrs post dose so that different regimen (bid
vs od) should not be the main cause of the
difference

The rational for the stabilized DPP-4 inhibition
over daily period
- The difference of binding kinetics provided that
Vildagliptin is tight binding to DPP-4 enzyme with high affinity and posses slow
dissociation rate (t1/2 for dissociation = 55 min) resulting in the more stabilized DPP-4
inhibition (~ 97% inhibition over a daily basis)1

Conclusion

Only H2H study between vilda vs. sita
Galvus stronger efficacy in 4 dimension:
1. Glucagon suppression
2. GLP-1 raising
3. MAGE reduction
4. DPP-4 activity inhibition during 24 hrs
Differentiate Galvus as Best-in-class efficacy to support -1.1% A1C
reduction message.
