  • LANTUS® (Insulin Glargine [Rdna Origin] Injection)
    Rev. March 2007 Rx Only LANTUS® (insulin glargine [rDNA origin] injection) LANTUS® must NOT be diluted or mixed with any other insulin or solution. DESCRIPTION LANTUS® (insulin glargine [rDNA origin] injection) is a sterile solution of insulin glargine for use as an injection. Insulin glargine is a recombinant human insulin analog that is a long-acting (up to 24-hour duration of action), parenteral blood-glucose-lowering agent. (See CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY). LANTUS is produced by recombinant DNA technology utilizing a non- pathogenic laboratory strain of Escherichia coli (K12) as the production organism. Insulin glargine differs from human insulin in that the amino acid asparagine at position A21 is replaced by glycine and two arginines are added to the C-terminus of the B-chain. Chemically, it is 21A- B B Gly-30 a-L-Arg-30 b-L-Arg-human insulin and has the empirical formula C267H404N72O78S6 and a molecular weight of 6063. It has the following structural formula: LANTUS consists of insulin glargine dissolved in a clear aqueous fluid. Each milliliter of LANTUS (insulin glargine injection) contains 100 IU (3.6378 mg) insulin glargine. Inactive ingredients for the 10 mL vial are 30 mcg zinc, 2.7 mg m-cresol, 20 mg glycerol 85%, 20 mcg polysorbate 20, and water for injection. Inactive ingredients for the 3 mL cartridge are 30 mcg zinc, 2.7 mg m-cresol, 20 mg glycerol 85%, and water for injection. The pH is adjusted by addition of aqueous solutions of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. LANTUS has a pH of approximately 4. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Mechanism of Action: The primary activity of insulin, including insulin glargine, is regulation of glucose metabolism.

  • IHS PROVIDER September 2017
    September 2017 Volume 42 Number 9 Indian Health Service National Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee SGLT-2 inhibitors (Update) NPTC Formulary Brief August Meeting 2017 Background: The FDA has currently approved three SGLT-2 inhibitors, two of which have completed FDA-mandated cardiovascular outcomes trials. Last year, in the Empagliflozin Cardiovascular Outcome Event Trial in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients (EMPA-REG), empagliflozin not only reduced cardiovascular events, but also mortality.1 This year, the Canagliflozin Cardiovascular Assessment Study (CANVAS) demonstrated equivocal cardiovascular benefits, no mortality benefit, and significant harms in those receiving canagliflozin.2 The DECLARE-TIMI 58 cardiovascular study of dapagliflozin will be completed in April 2019 (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01730534). Uncertainty remains regarding the current data, long- term benefits and harms, and differentiation among SGLT-2 inhibitors. Following a review of SGLT2 inhibitors at the August 2017 NPTC meeting on their cardiovascular outcomes, net benefit and place in therapy, no modifications were made to the National Core Formulary (NCF). Discussion: EMPA-REG enrolled 7,020 patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and HgbA1c values between 7.0-10.0%. All patients had established cardiovascular disease (CVD) and were observed for a median duration of 3.1 years. Empagliflozin reduced the primary outcome of cardiovascular (CV) death, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), or nonfatal cardiovascular accident (CVA) by 6.5 events per 1000 patient-years (pt-yrs). Mortality decreased by 9.2 events per 1000 pt-yrs, primarily driven by a reduction in CV mortality of 7.8 events per 1000 pt-yrs. Heart failure hospitalization decreased by 5.1 events per 1000 pt-yrs.

(Consider insulin as initial therapy if A1C very high, such as > 10.0%) 6,7,8 Start with BASAL INSULIN for most patients 1,6 Consider the following goals ADA A1C Goals: A1C < 7.0 for most patients A1C > 7.0 (consider 7.0-7.9) for higher risk patients 1. History of severe hypoglycemia 2. Multiple co-morbid conditions 3. Long standing diabetes 4. Limited life expectancy 5. Advanced complications or 6. Difficult to control despite use of insulin ADA Glucose Goals*: Fasting and premeal glucose < 130 Peak post-meal glucose (1-2 hours after meal) < 180 Difference between premeal and post-meal glucose < 50 *for higher risk patients individualize glucose goals in order to avoid hypoglycemia BASAL INSULIN Intermediate-acting: NPH Note: NPH insulin has elevated risk of hypoglycemia so use with extra caution6,8,15,17,25,32 Long-acting: Glargine (Lantus®) Detemir (Levemir®) 6,7,8 Basal insulin is best starting insulin choice for most patients (if fasting glucose above goal). 6,7 8 Start one of the intermediate-acting or long-acting insulins listed above. Start insulin at night. When starting basal insulin: Continue secretagogues. Continue metformin. 7,8,20,29 Note: if NPH causes nocturnal hypoglycemia, consider switching NPH to long-acting insulin. 17,25,32 STARTING DOSE: Start dose: 10 units6,7,8,11,12,13,14,16,19,20,21,22,25 Consider using a lower starting dose (such as 0.1 units/kg/day32) especially if 17,19 patient is thin or has a fasting glucose only minimally above goal.

  • Effects of Basal Insulin Analog and Metformin on Glycaemia Control and Weight As Risk &Factors for Endothelial Dysfunction
    EFFECTS OF BASAL INSULIN ANALOG AND METFORMIN ON GLYCAEMIA CONTROL AND WEIGHT AS RISK &FACTORS FOR ENDOTHELIAL DYSFUNCTION Belma Aščić – Buturović¹*, Mirsad Kacila² ¹ Clinic of Endocrinology, Diabetes Mellitus and Metabolic Diseases, University of Sarajevo Clinics Centre, Bolnička , Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina ² Center for Heart Diseases, University of Sarajevo Clinics Centre, Bolnička , Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina * Corresponding author Abstract Obese patients with type diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance are at increased risk of develop- ment of cardiovascular diseases. Endothelial dysfunction may be a reason for development of ath- erosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. Lifestyle modifi cation, increased physical activity, weight reduction, energy restricted diet and good glycaemia control can be useful for the endothelial func- tion improvement and may decrease the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Th e aim of this study was to evaluate the eff ects of basal insulin analog and metformin on glycaemia control and weight as risk factors of endothelial dysfunction. Total of patients ( male and female) with type dia- betes were studied. Th e patients were monitored over six months period. Glycated hemoglobin (HbAc), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), postprandial plasma glucose (PPG), and body mass index (BMI) were observed. Mean age of the subjects was , ± , years. Mean diabetes duration was , ± , years. At the end of the study mean body mass index decreased from , ± , kg/m to , ±, kg/m. In this study we included diabetic patients with fasting glycaemia over mmol/ dm, postmeal glycaemia over , mmol/dm and glycated hemoglobin over . Prior to the study, the patients were treated with premix insulin divided in two daily doses and metformin after the lunch, which did not result in suffi cient regulation of glycaemia.

PHARMACOLOGIC APPROACHES TO GLYCEMIC TREATMENT The American Diabetes Association (ADA) “Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes” includes ADA’s current clinical practice recommendations and is intended to provide the components of diabetes care, general treatment goals and guidelines, and tools to evaluate quality of care. Members of the ADA Professional Practice Committee, a multidisciplinary expert committee, are responsible for updating the Standards of Care annually, or more frequently as warranted. For a detailed description of ADA standards, statements, and reports, as well as the evidence-grading system for ADA’s clinical practice recommendations, please refer to the Standards of Care Introduction. Readers who wish to comment on the Standards of Care are invited to do so at professional.diabetes.org/SOC. PHARMACOLOGIC THERAPY FOR TYPE 1 DIABETES Recommendations c Most people with type 1 diabetes should be treated with multiple daily in- jections of prandial insulin and basal insulin or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion. A c Most individuals with type 1 diabetes should use rapid-acting insulin analogs to reduce hypoglycemia risk. A c Consider educating individuals with type 1 diabetes on matching prandial insulin doses to carbohydrate intake, premeal blood glucose levels, and anticipated physical activity. E c Individuals with type 1 diabetes who have been successfully using continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion should have continued access to this therapy after they turn 65 years of age.
