Abstract :
[en] Ertugliflozin is a new sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) that is indicated in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It has been investigated in the large phase 3 development programme VERTIS, in monotherapy and in association with different antidiabetic medications, including insulin. The add-on of ertugliflozin to metformin (VERTIS MET) and the association ertugliflozin-sitagliptin (VERTIS-SITA, VERTIS FACTORIAL, VERTIS SITA2) showed a significant reduction in glycated haemoglobin, without hypoglycaemia, together with a diminution of body weight and arterial blood pressure. As expected, more genital mycotic infections were observed, the only adverse event consistently reported. The cardiovascular safety of ertugliflozin has been demonstrated in VERTIS CV. Ertugliflozin is commercialized with two doses 5 mg and 15 mg. This SGLT2i is also available in fixed-dose combinations, ertugliflozin-metformin and ertugliflozin-sitagliptin. The three presentations offer a greater flexibility to the practitioner to optimize therapeutic choices for a complex disease where the treatment should be individualized according to the patient profile.
