Glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists and protection against stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Aim: Type 2 diabetes is associated with an increased risk of stroke and a worse outcome following stroke. Among glucose-lowering modalities only pioglitazone (a thiazolinedione) has been shown to protect against stroke. Nonetheless, evidence from experimental with novel antidiabetic agents, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists, suggests potential neuroprotective effects, especially if treatment starts before stroke. Thus, we aimed to meta-analyze available evidence regarding the risk of stroke in individuals receiving GLP-1 agonists.

Pioglitazone and cardiovascular risk reduction: time for a second look?
Insulin resistance, a fundamental pathophysiological abnormality in patients with type 2 diabetes, is associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) disease risk. In diabetes management, the macrovascular impact of antihyperglycemic agents that do not improve insulin sensitivity has generally been disappointing. In contrast, glucose-lowering drugs that work as insulin sensitizing agents have been postulated to reduce CV complications. The data to support this hypothesis have, however, been inconsistent. The impact of thiazolidinediones on macrovascular events is of particular interest. In this review, we discuss the results...

Abstract 013: Using the Diabetes Collaborative Registry (DCR) to Estimate the Potential Real-world Impact of the Iris Trial on Improving Outcomes in Patients With Cerebrovascular Disease Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusion: In a large US-based outpatient registry, we found that 12% of outpatients with prediabetes or diet-controlled T2D met the main eligibility criteria for IRIS, partly due to the narrow inclusion criteria of the trial but also likely reflective of a general paucity of screening for prediabetes and insulin resistance in this cohort. Pioglitazone was rarely used in these patients but could have a substantial impact on CV outcomes in these eligible patients. The population impact could be even greater if the CV benefit of pioglitazone can be demonstrated in patients with cerebrovascular disease and overt T2D or even ...

Cardiac Outcomes After Ischemic Stroke or TIA: Effects of Pioglitazone in Patients with Insulin Resistance Without Diabetes.
Conclusions -Among patients with insulin resistance without diabetes, pioglitazone reduced the risk for acute coronary syndromes after a recent cerebrovascular event. Pioglitazone appeared to have its most prominent effect in preventing spontaneous type 1 MI's.

Cerebrovascular disease: Pioglitazone reduces risk of stroke or MI
Nature Reviews Cardiology 13, 182 (2016).
doi:10.1038/nrcardio.2016.34
Author: Karina Huynh
Insulin resistance is present in >50% of patients without diabetes who have had an ischaemic stroke or a transient ischaemic attack (TIA). The IRIS trial investigators hypothesized that pioglitazone, an insulin-sensitizing agent, could reduce rates of stroke and myocardial infarction (MI) after ischaemic stroke or

Effects of Pioglitazone for Secondary Stroke Prevention in Patients with Impaired Glucose Tolerance and Newly Diagnosed Diabetes: The J-SPIRIT Study.
CONCLUSIONS: While this study was too underpowered to determine the effect of pioglitazone, the result failed to show beneficial effects in patients of ischemic stroke or TIA with impaired glucose tolerance and newly diagnosed diabetes.

Rationale, design, and organization of a randomized, controlled Trial Evaluating Cardiovascular Outcomes with Sitagliptin (TECOS) in patients with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease
Sitagliptin, an oral dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, lowers blood glucose when administered as monotherapy or in combination with other antihyperglycemic agents. TECOS will evaluate the effects of adding sitagliptin to usual diabetes care on cardiovascular outcomes and clinical safety. TECOS is a pragmatic, academically run, multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, event-driven trial recruiting approximately 14,000 patients in 38 countries who have type 2 diabetes (T2DM), are at least 50 years old, have cardiovascular disease, and have an hemoglobin A1c value between 6.5% and 8.0%. Eligible participan...
