Other undesirable reactions that developed in placebo-controlled studies of <2% Kanagliflozin were unwanted reactions associated with a decrease in intravascular volume (postural dizziness, orthostatic hypotension, arterial hypotension, dehydration and fainting), skin rash and urticaria.
Adverse reactions associated with a decrease in intravascular volume
The incidence of all adverse reactions associated with a decrease in intravascular volume (postural dizziness, orthostatic hypotension, arterial hypotension, dehydration and fainting) was <2% with the use of cannagliflozin in doses of 100 mg and 300 mg.
But the results of generalized analysis, in patients who received "loop" diuretics, patients with moderate renal insufficiency (GFR from 30 to <60 ml / min / 1.73 m2) and patients aged ≥ 75 years, there was a higher incidence of these undesirable reactions. In carrying out studies on cardiovascular risks, the frequency of serious adverse reactions associated with a decrease in intravascular volume, with the use of cannagliflozin did not increase, the cessation of treatment due to the development of undesirable reactions of this type were infrequent.
Hypoglycemia when used as an adjunct to insulin therapy or agents that enhance its secretion
With the use of cannagliflozin as a supplement to the therapy with insulin or sulfonylurea derivatives, the development of hypoglycemia has been reported more often. This is consistent with the expected increase in the incidence of hypoglycemia in cases where a drug whose use is not accompanied by the development of this condition is added to insulin or drugs that enhance its secretion (for example, sulfonylurea derivatives).
Changes in laboratory indicators
Increase in serum potassium concentration
The cases of potassium concentration increase in the serum (> 5.4 mEq / L and 15% higher than the initial concentration) were observed in 4.4% of patients receiving cannagloflozin in a dose of 100 mg, in 7.0% of patients who received cannagloflozin in a dose of 300 mg, and in 4.8% of patients receiving a placebo.Occasionally, there was a more pronounced increase in potassium concentration in the serum in patients with impaired renal function of moderate severity, who previously had an increase in potassium concentration and / or who received several drugs that reduce potassium excretion (potassium-sparing diuretics and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors). In general, the increase in potassium concentration was transient and did not require special treatment.
Increased serum creatinine and urea concentrations
During the first six weeks after the start of treatment, there was a slight average increase in creatinine concentration (<5%) with a commensurate decrease in GFR, after which there was a general tendency for the indicators to return to their baseline values. Within six weeks after the initiation of therapy with cannagliflozin, there was a moderate increase in the urea concentration (15-20%), which subsequently remained stable. In patients with impaired renal function of medium degree the severity of the increase in the concentration of creatinine and urea was noted in 10-11% and approximately 12% of cases, respectively.
The proportion of patients with a significant decrease in GFR (> 30%) compared with the baseline observed at any etan treatment was 2.0% - with the use of cannagliflozin at a dose of 100 mg, 4.1% - with the drug at a dose of 300 mg and 2.1% for placebo. These reductions in GFR were often transient, with a similar reduction in GFR by the end of the study in fewer patients. According to the combined analysis of patients with moderate renal insufficiency, the proportion of patients with a greater reduction in GFR (> 30%) compared with the baseline observed at any stage of treatment was 9.3% - with the use of cannagliflozin at a dose of 100 mg, 12 , 2% - when administered at a dose of 300 mg, and 4.9% - with placebo. After stopping the reception of cannagliflozin, these changes in laboratory parameters underwent positive dynamics or returned to the initial level.
Increase in the concentration of low density lipoproteins (LDL)
A dose-dependent increase in LDL-C concentration was observed with the use of cannagliflozin. The mean changes in LDL as a percentage of the initial concentration compared with placebo were 0.11 mmol / L (4.5%) and 0.21 mmol / L (8.0%) with the use of cannagliflozin at doses of 100 mg and 300 mg, respectively .The mean baseline LDL concentrations were 2.76 mmol / L, 2.70 mmol / L, and 2.83 mmol / L when administered with 100 mg and 300 mg of cannaminoglobin and placebo, respectively.
Increase in hemoglobin concentration
With the use of cannagliflozin in doses of 100 mg and 300 mg, there was a slight increase in the mean percentage change in hemoglobin concentration from the baseline (3.5% and 3.8%, respectively) compared with a slight decrease in the placebo group (-1.1%). A comparable slight increase in the mean percentage change in the number of erythrocytes and hematocrit from the basal level was observed. The greater part of the patients had an increase in hemoglobin concentration (> 20 g / l), which occurred in 6.0% of patients who received cannagloflozin in a dose of 100 mg, in 5.5% of patients who received cannagloflozin in a dose of 300 mg, and in 1.0% of patients receiving a placebo. Most of the values remained within normal limits.
Reduction of serum uric acid concentration
With the use of cannagliflozin in doses of 100 mg and 300 mg, there was a moderate decrease in the average concentration of uric acid from the baseline (-10.1% and -10.6%, respectively), compared with placebo, with a slight increase in the average concentration from the initial (1.9%).The decrease in serum uric acid concentration in the groups of cannagliflozin was maximal or close to the maximum at 6 weeks and persisted throughout therapy. There was a transient increase in the concentration of uric acid in the urine. Based on the results of a combined analysis of the use of cannagliflozin in doses of 100 mg and 300 mg, it was shown that the incidence of nephrolithiasis was not increased.
Safety in relation to the cardiovascular system
There was no increase in cardiovascular risk in the use of cannagliflozin compared with the placebo group.
