Irene Hramiak, UWO (sponsored by Merck) 11:45 – 13:00 Peter Bolli approached me to make a presentation at the ACP meeting in Toronto

  3. Advances in Resources for Evidence-Based Clinical Practice How to Determine for Yourself What Recent Studies You Should be Paying Attention To Brian Haynes Health Information Research Unit McMaster University

  4. 58 y/o obese male with …type 2 DM …A1c 9% on glyburide and rosiglitazone, with metformin intolerance…continuing to gain weight…veryreluctant to take insulin Can incretin therapy help? (exenatide, pramlintide, sitagliptin)

  5. EBHC is... …a set of procedures, pre-appraised resources and information tools to assist practitioners to apply evidence from research in the care of individual patients.

  6. Examples Computerized decision support Evidence-based textbooks Evidence-based journal abstracts Systematic reviews Original journal articles New School EBM Olde School EBM

  7. Evidence-basedPush, Pull, Prompt …ways to deal with too much information

  8. Push:

  9. Evidence-Based Journals Critical Appraisal Filters ~3000 articles/yr meet critical appraisal and content criteria (95% noise reduction) 60,000 articles/yr from 120 journals

  10. McMaster PLUS Project Clinical Relevancy Filter (MORE) ~25 articles/yr for clinicians (99.995% noise reduction) ~3,000 articles/yr meet critical appraisal and content criteria (95% noise reduction) ~5-50 articles/yr for authors of evidence-based clinical topic reviews

  11. User End • Users sign up according to discipline • Users control relevance and flow • Users can change disciplines at any time, and can sign up for as many as they wish • Users can search according to discipline – or not • Users can access PubMed Clinical Queries

  15. CONCLUSIONS: Exenatide and insulin glargine achieved similar improvements in overall glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes that was suboptimally controlled with oral combination therapy. Exenatide was associated with weight reduction and had a higher incidence of gastrointestinal adverse effects than insulin glargine. (19% withdrew on exenatide, 9.7% on glargine)

  16. The major adverse effects associated with pramlintide include an increase in nausea or anorexia, and possible hypoglycemia…several concerns with the published literature still exist. Must be injected. Costs $100-200/mo.

  17. CONCLUSIONS: In this 24-week study, once-daily sitagliptin monotherapy improved glycemic control in the fasting and postprandial states {vs placebo}, improved measures of beta-cell function, and was well tolerated in patients with type 2 diabetes.

  18. (My) “push” conclusions • Interesting but not enough to warrant a change in practice • Short-term trials with wrong comparators • Adverse effects • Expensive • Sitagliptin (Januvia) - $6/pill • Exenatide (Byetta) - $10/dose • Pramlintide ?? Metformin $0.25/pill Glyburide $0.20/pill Pioglitazone $1.00/pill

  19. PULL: Resources for Finding Evidence When You Need it

  20. Examples Computerized decision support Evidence-based textbooks Evidence-based journal abstracts Systematic reviews Original journal articles

  21. Premier evidence resources for internal medicine • Systems: EMR with decision support • Summaries: Clinical Evidence, PIER, UpToDate, Dynamed • Synopses: ACP Journal Club • Syntheses: via BMJUpdates+ • Studies: via BMJUpdates, PubMed Clinical Queries

  22. 58 y/o obese male with …type 2 DM …A1c 9% on glyburide and rosiglitazone, with metformin intolerance…continuing to gain weight…very reluctant to take insulin Can exenatide, pramlintide or sitagliptin help?

  23. For type 2 diabetes, what are the effects- good and bad -of incretin therapy? • Systems: none • Summaries: in UTD, PIER, Dynamed, not CE • Synopses: sitagliptin in ACP JC • Syntheses: one for pramlintide in BMJUpdates+ • Studies: exenatide and pramlintide in UTD, PIER, CE, BMJUpdates+; more on exenatide, pramlintide and sitagliptin in Clinical Queries

  24. Januvia is approved for use by people with type 2 diabetes that can't be controlled adequately with diet and exercise. Section updated June 2006; update scheduled February 2007 (not available; no GRADE yet) “Many questions remain unanswered regarding clinical use and long-term outcomes with these drugs.” Sitagliptin is stated to be “experimental” {but is now FDA approved (October 17, 2006)} $6 per pill

  25. Includes exenatide, pramlintide, and sitagliptin, with drug monographs for each • “Consider metformin as a first-line agent because it causes less hypoglycemia and weight gain, along with possible improvements in cardiovascular risk.” • “Consider other oral agents, such as sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones, and DPP-IV inhibitors, as reasonable first-line agents, although some are costly and the long-term benefits of these drugs have not been well studied.”

  26. CONCLUSIONS: Exenatide and insulin glargine achieved similar improvements in overall glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes that was suboptimally controlled with oral combination therapy. Exenatide was associated with weight reduction and had a higher incidence of gastrointestinal adverse effects than insulin glargine. (19% withdrew on exenatide, 9.7% on glargine)

  27. CONCLUSIONS: In this 24-week study, once-daily sitagliptin monotherapy improved glycemic control in the fasting and postprandial states {vs placebo}, improved measures of beta-cell function, and was well tolerated in patients with type 2 diabetes.

  28. The major adverse effects associated with pramlintide include an increase in nausea or anorexia, and possible hypoglycemia…several concerns with the published literature still exist. Must be injected. Costs $100-200/mo.

  29. Survey of traditional texts • Harrison’s – no; Harrison’s Practice - yes • Books@Ovid – no • Stat!Ref – in PIER and Mosby Drug Consult • Kelley’s Textbook - no

  30. My conclusions about exenatide, pramlintide, gliptins • Interesting new options for diabetes • Not well studied (eg, no head-to-head studies with current agents) • Exenatide and pramlintide would likely be out for this patient (injections) • Sitagliptin would be a possibility, but not until better known options tried (acarbose, Avandamet, repaglinide)

  31. To keep up • Pull • Push • Prompt…some labs and EMRs with a credible evidence-based pedigree (Zynx)

  32. Any questions?
