Relevant literature Review.
 Diabetes mellitus is a serious and growing health problem.
 Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most common type of diabetes,
and is characterized by varying degrees of insulin deficiency and
resistance.
 Pregnancy exacerbates diabetes mellitus.
 Metformin is preferred treatment of T2DM when not pregnant.
.Metformin is a logical treatment choice for treatment of overt T2DM in
pregnancy.
.T2DM is associated with significant maternal and infant morbidity.
.T2DM is also associated with foetal programming of obesity and T2 DM in
adulthood.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and the American
Diabetes Association both recommend insulin as first-line pharmacotherapy for
preexisting type 2diabetes in pregnancy, with metformin reserved for those who
cannot use insulin or decline to do so.
 Current recommendations for the medical management of overt T2DM
complicating pregnancy include frequent monitoring of blood glucose
combined with dietary management and insulin therapy to achieve
euglycemia.
 Use of oral hypoglycemic agents has recently gained acceptance for
treatment of gestational diabetes (GDM).
 The efficacy of oral hypoglycemic agents for treatment of GDM is
comparable to insulin, with fewer side effects and more patient
preference.
Research Question
 Does metformin added to insulin for the treatment of preexisting type
2 diabetes or diabetes identified early in pregnancy reduce the risk of
adverse neonatal outcomes?
Purpose/Background
 IMPORTANCE; Insulin is recommended for pregnant persons with
preexisting type 2 diabetes or diabetes diagnosed early in pregnancy. The
addition of metformin to insulin may improve neonatal outcomes.
OBJECTIVE To estimate the effect of metformin added to insulin for
preexisting type 2 or diabetes diagnosed early in pregnancy on neonatal
outcome.
The primary objective of the Medical Optimization of Management of Overt
Type 2 Diabetes in Pregnancy (MOMPOD) trial was to test the hypothesis the
addition of metformin to insulin lowers the odds of composite adverse neonatal
outcome of perinatal death or severe neonatal complications compared with
insulin alone, without increasing risk for adverse perinatal event.
Methods
 The MOMPOD Study was a multi centeric, double-blinded
randomized clinical trial of metformin vs placebo added
to insulin for the treatment of preexisting type 2 diabetes
or gestational diabetes diagnosed in early pregnancy.
Basic Study Design
1. Prospective Trial
2.Randomization; among 2667, 831 patients who were comparable
were randomized
3.Blinding ; DOUBLE BLINDING
4. RCT
5.Superior/ non-inferior to MITY trial
6.Multi centric ; 17 different centres selected
Sample Size Calculation
 The MOMPOD Study originally proposed to enrol 1200 participants to
achieve 1080. Our original sample size assumed a primary outcome event
rate of 25% and had 94% power to detect a 0.60 effect size of metformin
compared to placebo.
 The samples were well matched between treatment groups.
Inclusion criteria

Design, setting, and participants:
 This randomized clinical trial in 17 US centre's enrolled
pregnant adults aged 18 to 45 years with preexisting type 2
diabetes or diabetes diagnosed prior to 23 weeks' gestation.
 Period of study : April 2019 to November 2021.
 Each participant was treated with insulin and was assigned
to add either metformin or placebo.
 Follow-up was done every month for all enrolled and was
completed in May 2022.

INTERVENTION
 Metformin 1000mg or placebo orally twice per day from enrollment
 (11 weeks -<23 weeks) through delivery.
outcome
 The primary outcome was a composite of neonatal
complications including perinatal death, preterm birth, large
or small for gestational age, and hyperbilirubinemia
requiring phototherapy.
 secondary outcomes included maternal hypo glycemia and
neonatal fat mass at birth, and prespecified subgroup
analyses by maternal body mass index less than 30 vs 30 or
greater and those with preexisting vs diabetes early in
pregnancy.
DISCUSSION
JOURNAL CLUB PPT MOMPOP TRIAL ON DIABETES MELLITUS.pptx
JOURNAL CLUB PPT MOMPOP TRIAL ON DIABETES MELLITUS.pptx
Discussion continued
 To our knowledge, this is the largest trial of metformin
added to insulin to treat preexisting type 2 diabetes or
diabetes identified early in pregnancy. Study strengths
include the randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled design
and enrollment of a diverse study population with a large
proportion of patients of Hispanic ethnicity.
 These strengths contribute to generalizability of our
findings to a US pregnant population.
 Among pregnant adults with preexisting type 2 diabetes or
diabetes diagnosed prior to 23 weeks gestation, metformin added to insulin
did not reduce the frequency of the composite adverse neonatal outcome.
 Further, no significant differences were observed in secondary
outcomes, including maternal hypo glycemia and neonatal fat mass.
 Findings were similar regardless of maternal BMI (<30 or 30), timing of
diabetes diagnosis, or timing of enrollment(<18 weeks gestation or 18
weeks gestation). However , compared with those randomized to placebo,
participants randomized to metformin were less likely to deliver a large-for-
gestational-age infant.
Comparision with other similar studies
 In contrast to the current study,
 MiTy trial on which RCT was conducted between metformin
vs placebo group which was conducted between May 25, 2011,
to Oct 11, 2018, in 502 women, in Toronto university Canada ,
which was of small sample size with respect to current study
found to have improved maternal glyemic control, less
maternal weight gain, less neonatal adiposity, fewer cesarean
deliveries, and more small-for-gestational-age neonates.
REF; Lancet 2020;Department of Medicine, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada (Prof D S Feig MD,
 The differences in results may be explained by differences in study
population and study variables . In the current trial,
approximately 20% were enrolled with diabetes diagnosed
early in pregnancy, compared to approximately 10% in the
MiTy trial, which may also reflect differences in insulin
resistance.
 Compared with the MiTy trial, this trial had lower prevalence
of small-for-gestational-age infants.
 This trial observed a modest reduction in large-for-
gestational-age infants in the metformin group, there were
no differences in neonatal outcomes nor delivery by
cesarean.
 REF; Lancet 2020;Department of Medicine, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada (Prof D S Feig MD
The Metformin in Gestational Diabetes (MiG) trial.
 The Study conducted this randomized, open-label trial comparing
metformin with insulin treatment in 10 New Zealand and
Australian urban obstetrical hospitals in 751 GDM pregnant at
20 to 33 week of gestation done in 2007 A.D.
 In women with gestational diabetes mellitus, metformin (alone or
with supplemental insulin) is not associated with increased
perinatal complications as compared with insulin . (MOMPOD) trial
has consistent finding with that of MIG trial.
REF;NEJM2008 (Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry number, 12605000311651.)
 Metformin in gestational diabetes: the offspring follow-up (MiG
TOFU) Trial ; follow up study.2018
 In this follow-up study of offspring aged 7 years and 9 years of
women with GDM who had been randomized to metformin or
insulin treatment during pregnancy, there were no differences
between treatment arms in body fat percent or metabolic measures
i.e. MOMPOD) trial has consistent finding with that of MIG TOFU trial.
 Overall, these data are reassuring for clinicians using metformin in
women with GDM.
The 9-year-old offspring of women randomized to metformin were
larger than those whose mothers had been randomized to insulin.
.EMERGE is a phase III, superiority, parallel, 1:1 randomised,
double-blind, placebo-controlled trial comparing the
effectiveness of metformin versus placebo initiated by 28 weeks
(+6 days) plus usual care conducted in Galway Ireland.
 The EMERGE trial aims to provide robust evidence for the
efficacy of metformin in women with GDM diagnosed using the
WHO 2013 criteria. It will inform patients, caregivers and
funding agencies regarding the use of metformin in GDM and
has the potential to change practice.
 EMERGE protocol version 8 (27 July 2021) is currently in use.
Recruitment began on June 15, 2017, and is expected to be
complete soon.
Strength and Weakness of the Study/Trial
 Strength
 It took place within routine clinical practice.
 This is the largest trial of metformin added to insulin to treat
preexisting type 2 diabetes or diabetes identified early in
pregnancy.
 Study strengths include the randomized, blinded, placebo-
controlled design and enrollment of a diverse study
Weakness/Limitations;
 Enrollment was suspended for as many as 9 months due to the
COVID-19 pandemic . The study was halted at 75% which limit the
ability to measure metformin effect on common outcomes.
 Maternal BMI was comparable between groups, there were more
participants with obesity in the metformin group compared with the
placebo group, which could skew our findings toward the null because
of increased insulin resistance.
 Third, adherence was only measured by self- report; thus, the negative
findings could be explained by poor adherence that was under
reported.
Conclusions
 Using metformin plus insulin to treat preexisting type 2 or
gestational diabetes diagnosed early in pregnancy did not
reduce a composite neonatal adverse outcome.
 The effect of reduction in odds of a large for gestational age
infant observed after adding metformin to insulin warrants
further investigation.
Conflict of Interest
 No potential conflict of interest relevant to this article was reported

Take Home Message
 There is a growing interest in the use of oral drugs in pregnant diabetic
women
 Using metformin plus insulin to treat pre existing Type 2 or gestational
diabetes diagnosed early in pregnancy did not reduce a composite
neonatal adverse outcome.
 The reduction in odds of a large-for-gestational-age infant observed after
adding metformin to insulin warrants further investigation.
 Further follow-up data are needed (some are in progress) before the use
of oral therapy in DM with pregnancy is recommended to establish long-
term safety.
