Non-insulin Injectable
Antidiabetics  GLP-1 Receptor
Agonists
Linh Huynh
MCPHS University, PharmD 2016 Candidate
APPE Institutional Rotation - VA West Roxbury
Preceptor: Dr. Susan Jacobson
Date: 03/04/2016
Objectives
 Review the pharmacology of GLP-1 Receptor Agonists
 Highlight the advantages and disadvantages of GLP-1 RA
 Compare the products of this class based on a review of
clinical trials
 Discuss the safety and warning issues of GLP-1 RAs
Adapted from http://2012.igem.org/wiki/images/thumb/1/13/NTU-Taida-Project-GLP-1.jpg/500px-NTU-Taida-Project-GLP-1.jpg
Non-insulin Injectable Antidiabetics - An Overview
Glucagon-like, peptide-1
(GLP-1) agonist or
incretin mimetic
(INJECTION)
- 1% to 1.5% reduction in
A1C
MOA: Stimulation of GLP-1
receptors results in
increased insulin secretion
in response to elevated
blood glucose, decreased
glucagon secretion, slowed
gastric emptying, and
increased satiety. (GLP-1 is
an incretin hormone.)
Generic (Brand) Dose Advantages Disadvantages
Albiglutide (Tanzeum) -
need to be reconstituted
Dulaglutide (Trulicity)
Exenatide (Byetta)
Exenatide extended-release
(Bydureon)
Liraglutide (Victoza)
Albiglutide
INTIAL 30 mg SC once
weekly
Dulaglutide
INITIAL 0.75 mg SC once
weekly
Exenatide
INITIAL: 5 mcg SC BID
Exenatide extended-release
INITIAL: 2 mg SC once
weekly
Liraglutide
INITIAL: 0.6 mg SC once daily
x 1 week, then increase to 1.2
mg SC once daily
- Lack of hypoglycemia
when used as
monotherapy
- Weight loss
- Reduces postprandial
glucose values
- In patients who need
more than one or two
antidiabetes agents,
combination injectable
therapies of basal insulin
and a GLP-1 agonist is
an efficient, emerging
strategy.
- Headache
- Nausea (often transient)
- Diarrhea
- Use with caution in renal
dysfunction
- Avoid in severe renal
impairment (exenatide)
- May be associated with
pancreatitis
- Associated with thyroid
cell cancer in rodents
(check family Hx)
- May be associated with
renal insufficiency
What do you think?...
 Would there be hypoglycemic episode when GLP-1 RA
is co-administered with:
 Insulin ?
 Metformin ?
 Glipizide ?
What do you think?...
 Would concomitant use of a DDP-4 inhibitor enhance
the effect(s) of GLP-1 RA?
