Abstract :
[en] Both glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) improve cardiorenal -prognosis of at-risk patients with type 2 diabetes thanks to pleiotropic effects that are either common or specific. This article discusses the clinical efficacy of a combined therapy with the two medications. Data were obtained from post hoc analyses of subgroups of participants to cardiovascular outcome trials and from real-life observational retro-spective cohort studies. The reported superiority of the combination versus either monotherapy should be confirmed in an ongoing large prospective trial (PRECIDENTD). The extra-cost of such a combined therapy as well as the common underuse of each pharmacological class in daily clinical practice deserve attention.
