Sotagliflozin : a combined SGLT1/SGLT2 inhibitor to treat diabetes

INTRODUCTION: Sotagliflozin is the first dual SGLT1/SGLT2 inhibitor developed for use in diabetes. The agent blocks SGLT2 in the kidneys and SGLT1 in the intestines resulting in reduced early phase glucose absorption and increased blood levels of GLP-1. Initial studies were directed at type 1 diabetes. Areas covered: The published information on sotagliflozin is reviewed, along with the results of several pivotal Type 1 diabetes trials. Expert opinion: Sotagliflozin treatment lowers HbA1c and reduces glucose variability in Type 1 diabetes patients. Several other SGLT2 inhibitors have been associated with a tendency to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). In the type 1 trials, sotagliflozin treated individuals experienced DKA at a higher rate than placebo treated patients. An additional safety concern arises from the as yet unknown potential risks in women of child bearing potential. The sotagliflozin development program has now been extended to trials in type 2 diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, long-term studies will be needed to assess the benefits and risks of the agent as a possible alternative to currently marketed SGLT2 inhibitors.
