Efficacy and safety of alogliptin in a pediatric patient with maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 1

چکیده
The first-line pharmacological treatment for patients with maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 1 (MODY1) and maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 3 (MODY3) are sulfonylureas (SUs) or insulin. However, several reports have suggested the possibility of using incretin-associated drugs, including dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, for the treatment of patients with these types of MODY. Here we report a case of a pediatric patient with MODY1 who was successfully treated with a DPP-4 inhibitor, alogliptin. A 13-yr-old Japanese girl with diabetes was initially treated with insulin for 5 mo. After diagnosis of MODY1, confirmed via a genetic analysis, treatment was changed from insulin to alogliptin. SUs were prescribed temporarily, but monotherapy with alogliptin finally resulted in good glycemic control. After changing to alogliptin, the patient maintained optimal glycemic control with glycated hemoglobin levels of 6.3-7.0% while maintaining substantial β-cell function. No adverse events associated with alogliptin were observed. These results suggest that DPP-4 inhibitors may be a potential treatment for patients with MODY1 at the early stage of the disease when residual insulin secretion is still being sustained.

INTRODUCTION Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors including alogliptin are categorised as a newer class of oral hypoglycaemic, antidiabetic drugs to suppress the degradation of incretin hormones ((glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)) by DPP-4. We have scheduled a large-scale, multicentre, prospective, observational study (Japan-Based clini...

This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of 26 weeks of twice-daily (BID) alogliptin + metformin fixed-dose combination (FDC) therapy in Asian patients with type 2 diabetes. Patients aged 18 to 75 years with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) of 7.5% to 10.0% after ≥2 months of diet and exercise and a 4-week placebo run-in were enrolled. Eligible patients were randomized (1:1:1:1) to placebo, aloglipti...

Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is both a genetically and clinically heterozygous type of diabetes mellitus characterized by early onset (often before 25 yr of age) and absence of pancreatic β-cell autoimmunity markers (1). To date, mutations in several distinct genes have been implicated in MODY (1, 2). Among the different types of MODY, MODY5 is caused by mutations in the gene enc...
متن کاملMaturity onset diabetes of the young--review.
Maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is characterized by a primary defect in insulin secretion and hyperglycemia, nonketotic disease, monogenic autosomal dominant mode of inheritance, age at onset less than 25 years, and lack of auto-antibodies. It accounts for 2-5% of all cases of non-type 1 diabetes. The diagnosis may be made by careful clinical evaluation, but exact subtyping is possi...
