Trial Outcomes & Findings for To Assess the Risk of Acute Pancreatitis in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Treated With Empagliflozin (NCT NCT05162014)

NCT ID: NCT05162014

Last Updated: 2024-05-02

Results Overview

Incidence rate of acute pancreatitis per number of person-years, defined as an acute pancreatitis diagnosis from any of the inpatient (not restricted to the primary diagnosis), outpatient, or emergency contacts diagnoses (ICD-9-CM 577.0 or ICD-10-CM K85) and a lipase measure within +/- 7 days of the acute pancreatitis diagnosis (using LOINC code of 3040-3 and 2572-6 or CPT code of 83690 for lipase) and an abdominal ultrasound (using CPT codes of 76700 and 76705) within +/- 7 days of the acute pancreatitis diagnosis. The incidence rate was reported as the number of events (counts the first event per patient) divided by the total number of person-years at risk during follow-up (1/(1000\*person-years)).

Participant Flow

A Post-authorization safety study based on existing data between 1-Aug-2014 and the latest data-cut available in IBM MarketScan (30-Sep-2020) and Optum Clinformatics® Data Mart (CDM) 31-Mar-2021. The study aimed to assess the risk of acute pancreatitis in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients newly initiated in empagliflozin to that of newly initiated in other oral non incretin/non-sodium glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i)-based glucose lowering drugs. More details in Limitations.

Every patient who fulfilled inclusion and exclusion criteria was selected until the required sample size was achieved.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From August 2014 to March 2021 (the study period). Up to 79 months.

Population: Pooled unmatched and 1:1 propensity scores (PS) matched cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and new initiators of empagliflozin or sulfonylureas (SUs), who were enrolled between 1 August 2014 and the latest data-cut available in IBM MarketScan CCAE/MDCR (30 September 2020) and Optum CDM (31 March 2021). Primary analysis represented an 'as treated' approach.

Incidence rate of acute pancreatitis per number of person-years, defined as an acute pancreatitis diagnosis from any of the inpatient (not restricted to the primary diagnosis), outpatient, or emergency contacts diagnoses (ICD-9-CM 577.0 or ICD-10-CM K85) and a lipase measure within +/- 7 days of the acute pancreatitis diagnosis (using LOINC code of 3040-3 and 2572-6 or CPT code of 83690 for lipase) and an abdominal ultrasound (using CPT codes of 76700 and 76705) within +/- 7 days of the acute pancreatitis diagnosis. The incidence rate was reported as the number of events (counts the first event per patient) divided by the total number of person-years at risk during follow-up (1/(1000\*person-years)).
