Obesity has emerged as a pervasive and multifaceted public health challenge in the United States. In the battle against the global obesity epidemic, medications initially designed for diabetes management, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, appear as potential agents for weight loss. These medications are used off-label and an assessment of safety and efficacy are necessary.

Objective
After conducting a preliminary meta-analysis, it was found that GI ADRs where more prevalent when using SGLT-2. We seek to conduct a more detailed examination of the individual patient level data of NCT02065791 to determine the presence of pre-existing GI conditions or other comorbidities among patients, heterogeneity, or the use of other medications that may be affecting the ADRs reported.

Study design: A meta-analysis including 8 clinical trials where SGLT-2 inhibitors or GLP-1 receptor agonists were used to determine weight loss efficacy and, safety. New patient-level data will be utilized to identify additional factors that may be affecting safety and increasing severe GI ADRs.

Study design
Meta-analysis

Participants:
Total of 5,589 participants in the GLP-1 receptor agonist clinical trials and 5,969 participants in the SGLT-2 inhibitor clinical trials.

Primary Outcome Measure: Overall patient's weight loss in Kg per drug class
Second Outcome Measure: Safety based on ADRs per drug class

Proposed statistical analysis
NCT02065791 patient-level data will be utilized to identify serious adverse events influencing preliminary results of GI ADRs in the use of SGLT-2 inhibitors. Cardiac, renal and gastrointestinal severe ADRs will be evaluated along with this additional data. A statistical analysis will be performed using Review Manager 5.4, R Studio, R version 4.3.1 and Microsoft® Excel® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2308 Build 16.0.16731.20182) 32-bit.
Z-tests and p-values will be calculated to determine if the data is statistically significant for safety in term of relative risk ratios.

Project Title: Safety and Effectiveness of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitors in Comparison with Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Agonists on Weight Loss: A Meta-Analysis

Scientific Abstract: Background
Obesity has emerged as a pervasive and multifaceted public health challenge in the United States. In the battle against the global obesity epidemic, medications initially designed for diabetes management, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, appear as potential agents for weight loss. These medications are used off-label and an assessment of safety and efficacy are necessary.

Objective
After conducting a preliminary meta-analysis, it was found that GI ADRs where more prevalent when using SGLT-2. We seek to conduct a more detailed examination of the individual patient level data of NCT02065791 to determine the presence of pre-existing GI conditions or other comorbidities among patients, heterogeneity, or the use of other medications that may be affecting the ADRs reported.

Study design: A meta-analysis including 8 clinical trials where SGLT-2 inhibitors or GLP-1 receptor agonists were used to determine weight loss efficacy and, safety. New patient-level data will be utilized to identify additional factors that may be affecting safety and increasing severe GI ADRs.

Study design
Meta-analysis

Participants:
Total of 5,589 participants in the GLP-1 receptor agonist clinical trials and 5,969 participants in the SGLT-2 inhibitor clinical trials.

Primary Outcome Measure: Overall patient's weight loss in Kg per drug class
Second Outcome Measure: Safety based on ADRs per drug class

Proposed statistical analysis
NCT02065791 patient-level data will be utilized to identify serious adverse events influencing preliminary results of GI ADRs in the use of SGLT-2 inhibitors. Cardiac, renal and gastrointestinal severe ADRs will be evaluated along with this additional data. A statistical analysis will be performed using Review Manager 5.4, R Studio, R version 4.3.1 and Microsoft® Excel® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2308 Build 16.0.16731.20182) 32-bit.
Z-tests and p-values will be calculated to determine if the data is statistically significant for safety in term of relative risk ratios.

Brief Project Background and Statement of Project Significance: In the battle against the global obesity epidemic, medications initially designed for diabetes management, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, appear as potential agents for weight loss. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to review the existing literature to compare SGLT-2 inhibitors with GLP-1 receptor agonists effectiveness in terms of weight loss, and safety profile of cardiac, gastrointestinal, and renal adverse drug reactions (ADR). The primary objective of this study is to investigate the weight loss efficacy and the secondary endpoint is to assess their safety profile.

Specific Aims of the Project: This meta-analysis aims to conduct a more detailed examination of the individual patient level data to determine the presence of pre-existing renal conditions or other comorbidities among patients, heterogeneity, or the use of other medications that may be affecting the ADRs reported in NCT02065791.

Z-tests and p-values will be calculated to determine if the data is statistically significant for safety in term of relative risk ratios.

Narrative Summary: In the battle against the global obesity epidemic, medications initially designed for diabetes management, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, appear as potential agents for weight loss. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to review the existing literature to compare SGLT-2 inhibitors with GLP-1 receptor agonists effectiveness in terms of weight loss, and safety profile of cardiac, gastrointestinal, and renal adverse drug reactions (ADR).
