LIPAGLYN(Saroglitazar)

for DIABETIC DYSLIPIDEMIA

Dr. T. Vijay bhushanam M.B.B.S, M.D

Objectives

• Diabetic dyslipidemia– Components– Complications– Treatment– Need for novel treatment

• LIPAGLYN (Saroglitazar)– Mechanism of action– Clinical trials.

• Summary

Diabetic dyslipidemiaComponents

1. High Tryglycerides

2. Low HDL-c

3. Postprandial lipemia

Diabetic dyslipidemiaComplications

Hyperglycemia: – Macrovascular complications:

• CVD

– Microvascular complications: • Retinopathy, Nephropathy, Neuropathy

Dyslipidemia: – Macrovascular complications

• Hypertriglyceridemia in T2DM patients increases the CV risk by 3 times.

– Microvascular complications• Hypertriglyceridemia in T2DM patients increases the risk of diabetic

kidney disease by 2-folds.*

Diabetic dyslipidemiaTreatment and Benefits

• Glycemic control– Microvascular benefits: Well proven– Macrovascular benefits : Proven

• PPAR-γ agonists: – Microvascular benefits : Well proven– Macrovascular benefits : Reduce CV end points (Death, MI, stroke)

significantly (by 16-18%) in DM patients *

• PPAR-α agonists: – Microvascular benefits : Prevent progression of early-stage diabetic

retinopathy**– Macrovascular benefits : Proven **

Diabetic dyslipidemia What is needed in the management

• Treating both Hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia is the comprehensive management of Diabetic dyslipidemia

• Statins are the first line drugs for diabetic dyslipidemia, but still a significant proportion of residual risk (≈75%) remains, requiring add on therapies

• PPAR agonists (α and γ) have hypolipidemic and antihyperglycemic effects with proven macro- and micro-vascular benefits, but there are concerns for safety

Diabetic dyslipidemia What is needed in the management

Dual PPAR-α/γ agonists

LIPAGLYN – Saroglitazar World’s first approved dual PPAR-α/γ agonist

Spectrum of PPAR activity of various agents : Each PPAR agonist is unique

Critical Parameters Benefits

Weight Gain • There was no increase in the weight in Lipaglyn group,

• However Pioglitazone has shown an average increase of 1.6 kg

Cardiovascular safety 2D Echo and ECG Examinations No change in cardiac function

No edema observed

Safety and Tolerance Lipaglyn demonstrated no significant change in :

• LFT : (No DILI)• RFT: (Creatinine / eGFR)• CPK • Hemoglobin

Summary

• Current standards of care for blood glucose, blood pressure and LDL-C leaves behind a high level of residual vascular risk, including microvascular and macrovascular complications.

• Statin therapy alone is not sufficient for all-at risk patients (AACE response to AHA/ACC 2013 cholesterol guidelines)

• Targeting Diabetic dyslipidaemia (High TG, High Non-HDL, Low HDL) with non statin therapies is required along with statins.

• LIPAGLYN is the best available option with Hypolipidemic and Antihyperglycemic effects (↓TG, ↓Non-HDL, ↓HbA1C) and insulin sensitizing actions.

*The above values are as per International Standards Regular monitoring of blood sugars at home with the help of a glucometer is recommended and also maintenance of a SMBG (Self Monitoring of Blood Glucose) chart, which should be showed to your Diabetologist during every visit.
