Efficacy and Safety of Vildagliptin in NODAT – a randomized, double- blind, placebo-controlled trial Haidinger et al AJT 2014; 14: Presented by Dr Sourabh Chand QEHB ST6/Clinical Academic Fellow
Introduction Post-transplant hyperglycaemia = morbidity, mortality – IFG – IGT Ischaemic heart disease HR 1.39 – NODAT premature graft failure – at 12yrs, 48% vs 70% without NODAT Ischaemic heart disease RR 3.21 Rx with T2DM strategies traditionally NODAT – insulin sensitivity vs secretion
OGTT – 0 & 3 months 1°outcome: 1.1mmol/l (20) difference Stable 3 months renal function STOP DRUG 1 month, then OGTT 4 months – FPG, HbA1c, fasting insulin, rate S/E, ∆GFR, ACR, ∆LFTs & CNI levels GFR<30 LFTS > % 2°outcomes:
-0.91mmol/l-0.18mmol/l-0.3mmol/l-4mmol/l Primary outcome OGTT 4 months no difference from baseline Lifestyle at 4 months (placebo) -2.2 mmol/l (±6)
HbA1c significantly different at 4 months (unsurprisingly) – “robust improvement”

Will changes in lipid profile affect CV outcomes (esp metabolic syndrome)
Conclusions DPP-4 inhibitors stabilise incretin hormone GLP-1 Reduction in postprandial hyperglycaemia – Evidenced by 2hr OGTT results No increase in BMI, relatively safe profile Maybe more importantly in NODAT β cell protective effect No effect on short-term effects on insulin sensitivity
Remaining questions Long term effects – Especially on CV outcome – Lipid profile – Compare other hypoglycaemics (eg metformin (eGFR)) Is this a particular NODAT or metabolic syndrome profile? – 5 yrs post transplant, genetics, pancreatic decompensation – Deceased vs live donor – IFG/IGT patients Other parameters – HLA mismatch, rejection episodes, multivariate analysis (∆weight, diagnoses, Bp)
