Blood glucose related adverse drug reaction of antitumor monoclonal antibodies: a retrospective analysis using Vigibase

Abstract On the increasing prevalence of using mAbs (monoclonal antibodies) in cancer therapy and the severe risk of hyperglycemia, we aimed to analyze the main clinical ADRs of mAbs, with a focus on adverse hyperglycemic events associated with currently clinically used mAbs. mAbs as well as target information were selected from Martinadale book and published articles. Drug approving information was collected from each government website, and ADR statistic data were collected from VigibaseR, comparing with Adverse Event Reporting System of US FDA. Top 10 mAbs were classified within listing in total ADR records, ADRs per year, hyperglycemic ADR records. Vigibase data were updated onto 15 Feb 2019. 20 mAbs were analyzed with 263217 ADR reports, wherein 16751 records on Metabolism and nutrition disorders and 1444 records on Glucose metabolism disorders. The geographic, age, gender distributions and annual ADR report numbers were listed respectively. Of the top 10, Rituximab, Bevacizumab and Nivolumab were on the top 3 in total ADR record and hyperglycemic record. Top 3 record results were similar in Vigibase and FDA database. It is of increasing importance for clinicians to be aware of early detection, patient management, or drug selection strategies when using mAbs, particularly within the high glycemic risk-reported mAbs, to improve the efficacy and tolerability of mAbs regiment and optimize patient outcomes.

Nutritional factors and metabolic biomarkers: impact in risk and survival of women with breast cancer / Fatores nutricionais e biomarcadores metabólicos: impacto no risco e sobrevida de mulheres com câncer de mama

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cause of cancer and the leading cause of death in women. BC is a complex disease and distributes in distinct molecular subtypes regarding the expression of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-2 (HER2), and Ki67 protein status. Although BC is multifactorial evidence indicates that nutritional factors are relevant during steps of carcinogenesis, recurrence, and survival. We aim to assess the role of nutrition status and metabolic biomarkers in women with BC. This is a case-control study between May 2011 and August 2012. In the case group, there was a follow-up until April 2019, characterizing a cohort study. From these groups, different manuscripts were structured with different study designs according to each hypothesis. Manuscript 1 - cohort based on the follow-up of the BC group, Manuscript 2 - a cross-sectional study with women with Luminal A BC (ER positive, PR positive/negative, HER2 negative, Ki67 low) and Manuscript 3 - a cross-sectional case-control study. Data were obtained by medical records, interviews and anthropometric parameters with electrical impedance. Blood samples were collected after 12-hour fasting to analyze serum glucose, glycated hemoglobin, insulin growth factor 1 (IGF-1), insulin growth factor binding protein (IGFBP-3), insulin and adipokines, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), DNA oxidative damage (8-OH-dG) and lipoproteins (total cholesterol - TC, Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol - LDL-c, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol - HDL-c and triacylglycerols) and fatty acid profile of erythrocyte membrane. All statistical tests were performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences® (SPSS), version 21.0. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.050. The main results of the study showed that premenopausal women with BC and clinical staging (CS) between II and III had a more atherogenic lipid profile characterized by the decrease in HDL-c, increase in LDL-c, non-HDL-C and apolipoprotein B (Apo B). We highlight that women with BC and high LDL-c and non-HDL-c had increase odd of having larger tumor size whereas HDL-c was associated with a decreased risk. Premenopausal women with BC had an increased level of TBARS and NEFA at diagnosis and had a lower survival probability. Additionally, women with Luminal A BC had higher serum levels of glucose, IGF-1, IGFBP-3, IL1ß, IL6, and lower IL10 compared to its matching controls. Also, women with increased serum levels of TBARS, glucose, and insulin increased risk of Luminal A BC, and higher levels of adiponectin decrease the risk of developing Luminal A BC when controlled by menopause status and BMI. Women with BC presented impaired IGF-1/insulin axis, sustained by overweight/obesity and higher central adiposity. Increased levels of serum glucose, insulin, and IGF-1 showed higher odds to developing BC. In conclusion, our results demonstrate the relevant impact of metabolic biomarkers on risk of developing BC and in survival outcomes. This study reinforces the relevance to increase prevention strategies regarding lifestyle and nutrition to decrease incidence and improve outcome of BC.

Câncer de mama (CM) é a causa mais comum de câncer no mundo e a principal causa de morte em mulheres. O CM é uma doença complexa e é classificada em tipos moleculares de acordo com a expressão do receptor de estrogênio (RE), receptor de progesterona (RP), receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-2 (HER2) e proteína Ki67. Embora o CM seja multifatorial, há evidências científicas que indicam que componentes nutricionais podem ser relevantes durante as diversas etapas da carcinogênese, recidiva e sobrevivência. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o papel do estado nutricional e marcadores metabólicos em mulheres com CM. Trata-se de um estudo caso-controle realizado entre maio 2011 e agosto 2012. O grupo caso foi acompanhado até abril 2019, caracterizando um estudo de coorte. A partir destes grupos foram estruturados diversos manuscritos com delineamentos diferentes, segundo cada hipótese levantada, a saber: Manuscrito 1 - Coorte baseada no seguimento do grupo CM, Manuscrito 2 - Estudo transversal baseado em mulheres com CM Luminal A (RE positivo, RP positivo/negativo, HER2 negativo, Ki67 baixo) e; Manuscrito 3 - estudo transversal do tipo caso-controle. Os dados foram obtidos através de prontuários médicos, entrevista e avaliação antropométrica com uso de bioimpedância elétrica. As amostras de sangue foram coletadas após jejum de 12 horas e a partir dessas foram analisadas glicemia, hemoglobina glicada (HbA1c), insulina, fator de crescimento semelhante à insulina 1 (IGF-1), proteína 3 de ligação ao fator de crescimento semelhante a insulina (IGFBP-3), substâncias reativas ao ácido tiobarbitúrico (TBARS), ácidos graxos não esterificados (NEFA), dano oxidativo ao DNA (8-OH-dG), perfil lipídico (colesterol total - CT, colesterol associado à lipoproteína de baixa densidade - LDL-c, colesterol associado à lipoproteína de alta densidade - HDL-c e triacilgliceróis) e perfil de ácidos graxos incorporados às membranas eritrocitárias. Todos os testes estatísticos foram realizados no programa Statistical Package for Social Sciences® (SPSS), versão 21.0. Significância estatística foi considerada em p < 0,050. Os principais resultados do estudo mostram que mulheres com CM na pré-menopausa e com estadiamento clínico II e III tiveram um perfil lipídico mais aterogênico caracterizado pela diminuição do HDL-c, aumento do LDL-c, nãoHDL-c e apolipoproteína B (Apo B). Destaca-se que mulheres com CM e LDL-c e nãoHDL-c aumentados apresentaram maior chance de tumores maiores, enquanto mulheres com CM com maior HDL-c apresentaram menor risco. Mulheres com CM na pré-menopausa que apresentaram maior conteúdo de TBARS e NEFA no momento do diagnóstico tiveram menor sobrevida. Adicionalmente, mulheres com CM e tumores do tipo Luminal A tiveram maiores concentrações de glicose, IGF-1, IGFBP-3, IL1ß, IL6 e menores de IL10 comparadas com o grupo controle. Mulheres com com concentrações mais elevadas de TBARS, glicose e insulina apresentaram maior risco de CM Luminal A, enquanto aquelas com concentrações mais elevadas de adiponectina apresentaram menor risco de desenvolver CM Luminal A, mesmo quando controlados pelo estado de menopausa e IMC. Mulheres com CM apresentaram alterações no eixo IGF-1/insulina que foi sustentada no sobrepeso/obesidade e no aumento da adiposidade central. Observou-se que mulheres com concentrações mais elevadas de glicose, insulina e IGF-1 tiveram maior chance de desenvolver CM. Em conclusão, os resultados demonstram o relevante impacto dos marcadores metabólicos no risco de desenvolver CM e o seu impacto na sobrevida. Este estudo reforça a relevância das estratégias de prevenção relacionadas ao estilo de vida e nutrição a fim de diminuir incidência e melhorar a sobrevida de mulheres com CM.

Repercussões metabólicas: quais, como e por que investigar? / Metabolic repercussions: which ones, how and why investigate?

A síndrome dos ovários policísticos (SOP) é frequentemente acompanhada de distúrbio metabólico, principalmente dos carboidratos e dos lipídeos, aumentando o risco de síndrome metabólica. Por essa razão, alguns investigadores ainda denominam a SOP de síndrome metabólica-reprodutiva. O objetivo deste capítulo é descrever as principais repercussões metabólicas, bem como como investigá-las e saber como suas consequências podem ser deletérias para a saúde da mulher. Esta é uma revisão narrativa mostrando a implicação do metabolismo dos carboidratos e dos lipídeos nas dislipidemias, bem como da síndrome metabólica sobre o sistema reprodutor, e o risco cardiovascular da mulher com SOP. Conclui-se que o manejo adequado dos distúrbios metabólicos na SOP é benéfico a curto e a longo prazo tanto para o sistema reprodutor quanto para o cardiovascular.(AU)

Effect of Isoflavones and Genistein on Glucose Metabolism in Peri- and Post-Menopausal Women: An Overview of Meta-Analysis

The purpose of the present overview of meta-analysis is to summarize and critically assess the effect of isoflavones and genistein on glucose metabolism among the peri- and post-menopausal women. Two independent authors searched the databases of MEDLINE, Scopus and Cochrane Library for meta-analysis. Three databases were searched from inception to January 2018. Methodological quality of each meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials was evaluated using the AMSTAR (a measurement tool used to assess systematic reviews). Four meta-analyses were included to the current overview. Fasting insulin levels and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) values were significantly lower in peri-menopausal and postmenopausal. Two meta-analyses showed that treatment with isoflavones could not alter fasting blood glucose. However, one meta-analysis depicted that isoflavones significantly improved blood glucose levels in non-Asian postmenopausal women. Treatment with genistein could have significant beneficial effects on fasting insulin, blood glucose and HOMA-IR in comparison to the control group. Regardless of the population, the treatment with genistein is effective in improving fasting insulin, HOMA-IR and glucose levels. Nevertheless, the high heterogeneity among studies and poor methodology of reviews made it difficult to draw a definite conclusion on the positive impacts of soy on glucose metabolism.

Early Assessment of the Risk for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: Can Fasting Parameters of Glucose Metabolism Contribute to Risk Prediction?

BACKGROUND: An early identification of the risk groups might be beneficial in reducing morbidities in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Therefore, this study aimed to assess the biochemical predictors of glycemic conditions, in addition to fasting indices of glucose disposal, to predict the development of GDM in later stage and the need of glucose-lowering medication.METHODS: A total of 574 pregnant females (103 with GDM and 471 with normal glucose tolerance [NGT]) were included. A metabolic characterization was performed before 15+6 weeks of gestation by assessing fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting insulin (FI), fasting C-peptide (FCP), and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Thereafter, the patients were followed-up until the delivery.RESULTS: Females with NGT had lower levels of FPG, FI, FCP, or HbA1c at the early stage of pregnancy, and therefore, showed an improved insulin action as compared to that in females who developed GDM. Higher fasting levels of FPG and FCP were associated with a higher risk of developing GDM. Moreover, the predictive accuracy of this metabolic profiling was also good to distinguish the patients who required glucose-lowering medications. Indices of glucose disposal based on C-peptide improved the predictive accuracy compared to that based on insulin. A modified quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKIc) showed the best differentiation in terms of predicting GDM (area under the receiver operating characteristics curve [ROC-AUC], 72.1%) or need for pharmacotherapy (ROC-AUC, 83.7%).CONCLUSION: Fasting measurements of glucose and C-peptide as well as the surrogate indices of glycemic condition could be used for stratifying pregnant females with higher risk of GDM at the beginning of pregnancy.

Ginsenoside Rg1 inhibits dietary-induced obesity and improves obesity-related glucose metabolic disorders

Obesity and its consequent type 2 diabetes are significant threats to global health. Emerging evidence indicates that ginsenosides from ginseng (Panax ginseng) have anti-diabetic activity. We hypothesized that ginsenosides Rg1 could suppress dietary-induced obesity and improve obesity-related glucose metabolic disorders. Our results showed that ginsenoside Rg1 attenuated dietary-induced body weight gain and fat accumulation in white adipocyte tissue of mice fed a high-fat diet. Furthermore, we found that ginsenosides Rg1 not only decreased fasting glucose concentration and the 2-h postprandial glucose concentration, but also improved insulin resistance and glucose intolerance in those mice. Ginsenoside Rg1 also activated the AMPK pathway in vitro and in vivo and increased plasma membrane translocation of GLUT4 in C2C12 skeletal muscle cells. In conclusion, our observations suggested that ginsenoside Rg1 inhibited dietary-induced obesity and improved obesity-related insulin resistance and glucose intolerance by activation of the AMPK pathway.

Evaluación de tres metodologías para la predicción del riesgo de alteraciones del metabolismo de la glucosa en sujetos con sobrepeso y obesidad / Evaluation of three methodologies for risk prediction of impaired glucose metabolism in overweighed and obese subjects

Introducción: en la actualidad, en Cuba no existe una estrategia establecida para la pesquisa de las alteraciones del metabolismo de la glucosa. Objetivo: evaluar la capacidad diagnóstica de tres metodologías para predecir el riesgo de alteraciones del metabolismo de la glucosa en sujetos con sobrepeso y obesidad. Métodos: se realizó un estudio de evaluación diagnóstica longitudinal, con los datos de 90 sujetos con edades comprendidas entre 25 y 70 años, analizados 2,5 años después de la evaluación inicial. Se obtuvo la edad, el sexo, los antecedentes patológicos personales, los medicamentos empleados, el peso, la talla, el perímetro de cintura y la tensión arterial, así como las concentraciones de glucosa al inicio y a los 2,5 años ulteriores, la insulina y los triglicéridos, además de calcular la resistencia a la insulina en la evaluación inicial. Se utilizó un modelo de puntaje-riesgo para la diabetes tipo 2. Resultados: la frecuencia de alteraciones del metabolismo de la glucosa (glucemia alterada en ayuna y diabetes tipo 2) a los 2,5 años ulteriores, de acuerdo con la presencia previa o no en los sujetos de glucemia alterada en ayunas, resistencia a la insulina y riesgo moderado/alto de diabetes tipo 2, fue superior en los sujetos con glucemia alterada en ayuna previa (72,4 por ciento [21/29]), con resistencia a la insulina al inicio (65,6 por ciento [40/61]) y con riesgo moderado/alto (54,4 por ciento [43/79]), en relación con aquellos sin glucemia alterada en ayuna, sin resistencia a la insulina y con riesgo bajo de diabetes (41,0 por ciento [25/61], p= 0,005; 20,7 por ciento [6/29], p= 0,006 y 27,3 por ciento [3/11], p< 0,0001 respectivamente). La resistencia a la insulina y el riesgo de diabetes tipo 2 moderado/alto mostraron una elevada sensibilidad para identificar sujetos con alteraciones del metabolismo de la glucosa (87,0 y 93,5 por ciento respectivamente), por el contrario de la glucemia alterada en ayunas, que mostró una baja sensibilidad (45,7 por ciento). De los 19 sujetos que desarrollaron diabetes tipo 2 a los 2,5 años, el 100 por ciento presentó riesgo de diabetes tipo 2 moderado/alto y 94,7 por ciento resistencia a la insulina al inicio. Conclusiones: la resistencia a la insulina y el riesgo de diabetes tipo 2 podrían ser de gran utilidad en la identificación de individuos con alto riesgo para padecer diabetes(AU)

Introduction: at present, there is no set strategy in Cuba for the screening of impaired glucose metabolism. Objective: to evaluate the diagnostic capacity of three methodologies to predict the risk of impaired glucose metabolism in overweighed and obese individuals. Methods: a longitudinal diagnostic evaluation study was carried out using data from 90 subjects aged 25 to 70 years, which were analyzed two and a half years after the initial assessment. Information about age, sex, personal pathological history, used medication, weight, height, waist circumference and blood pressure as well the glucose concentrations at the beginning and two and a half years later, insulin and triglyceride indexes was collected in addition to estimating the insulin-resistance index in the initial evaluation. A risk-score model for type 2 diabetes was also used. Results: the frequency of impaired glucose metabolism (impaired fasting glycemia and type 2 diabetes) after two and a half years, according to the previous existence or not of impaired fasting glycemia, insulin resistance and moderate/high risk of type 2 diabetes, was higher in subjects with previous impaired fasting glycemia (72,4 percent [21/29]), with insulin resistance at the beginning (65.6 percent [40/61]) and with moderate/high risk (54,4 percent [43/79]) than in those individuals without impaired fasting glycemia, insulin resistance and with low diabetes risk (41.0 percent [25/61], p= 0,005; 20.7 percent [6/29], p= 0.006 and 27.3 percent [3/11], p< 0.0001, respectively). Insulin resistance index and moderate/high risk of type 2 diabetes showed high sensitivity to identify subjects with impaired glucose metabolism (87.0 and 93.5 percent, respectively), in contrast to impaired fasting glucose whose sensitivity was low (45.7 percent). Of 19 individuals who developed type 2 diabetes two and a half years later, 100 percent had moderate/high risk of type 2 diabetes and 94.7 percent had insulin resistance at the beginning. Conclusions: insulin resistance and risk of type 2 diabetes could be very useful in detecting individuals with high risk of developing diabetes(AU)

Relation between sleep quality and metabolic syndrome among university students / Relación entre calidad del sueño y síndrome metabólico en estudiantes universitarios / Relação entre qualidade do sono e síndrome metabólica em universitários

This transversal study aimed to analyze the relationship between poor sleep quality and metabolic syndrome among university students. The sleep quality and the components of metabolic syndrome of 701 university students from Fortaleza, Brazil, were evaluated during 2011 and 2012. In the evaluation of the scale of the associations, robust Poisson regression was used, adjusted for sex and age. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome and poor quality sleep was 1.7% and 95.3% respectively. There was an increase in risk of 5% of developing metabolic syndrome among those university students who slept poorly (p=0.013). It is concluded that the university students in the sample who were poor sleepers present a greater probability of presenting metabolic syndrome.

Houve um aumento do risco de 5% para o desenvolvimento de síndrome metabólica entre os universitários maus dormidores (p=0,013). Pode-se concluir que os universitários da amostra maus dormidores apresentaram mais chance de apresentar síndrome metabólica.

Thyroid volume in patients with glucose metabolism disorders / Volume da tiroide em pacientes com alterações do metabolismo da glicose

Objective Thyroid volume and the prevalence of thyroid nodules are higher in patients with insulin resistance. A relationship between thyroid volume and glucose metabolism disorders (GMD) has not as yet been clarified. The present retrospective study aimed to investigate the association between GMD and thyroid volume. Subjects and methods: We investigated the data of 2,630 patients who were evaluated for thyroid biopsy in our hospital. The study population included 602 patients with GMD, 554 patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and 1,474 patients with normal glucose metabolism as a control group. We obtained the levels of serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and the thyroid volumes of those patients retrospectively. Results The median ages for the control group, GMD group and DM group were 55 (15‐91) years, 60 (27‐97) years, and 65 (27‐91) years respectively and there was a statistically significant difference between the groups with regard to age and gender (p<0.001). Levels of TSH were similar in all groups. The median total thyroid volumes for patients with DM and GMD were significantly higher than that of the control group [22.5 (3‐202) mL, 20.2 (4‐190) mL, and 19.2 (3‐168) mL respectively, p≤0.001 for all parameters]. Also the median total thyroid volume for patients with DM was significantly higher than that of the GMD group (p<0.001). According to the correlation analysis, thyroid volume was significantly correlated with age (r=0.92, p<0.001) and TSH (r=0.435, p<0.001). Age, gender, TSH levels, GMD and DM diagnosis were independently correlated with thyroid volume. Conclusion The thyroid gland is one of the target tissues of metabolic disorders. We reported a positive correlation between GMD/type 2 DM and thyroid volume. Further controlled, prospective, randomized studies on this subject are required to gain more information. .

Objetivo O volume da tiroide e a prevalência de nódulos tiroidianos são mais altos em pacientes com resistência à insulina. A relação entre o volume da tiroide e os transtornos do metabolismo da glicose (TMG) ainda não foi elucidada. O objetivo do presente estudo retrospectivo foi investigar a associação entre os TMG e o volume da tiroide. Sujeitos e métodos: Analisamos os dados de 2.630 pacientes que foram avaliados para biópsia de tiroide em nosso hospital. A população estudada incluiu 602 pacientes com TMG, 554 pacientes com diabetes melito (DM) e 1.474 pacientes com metabolismo normal da glicose, como grupo controle. As concentrações de hormônio tireoestimulante (TSH) e os volumes da tiroide para esses pacientes foram obtidos de forma retrospectiva. Resultados As idades medianas para o grupo controle, grupo TMG e grupo DM foram 55 (15‐91), 60 (27‐97) e 65 (27‐91) anos, respectivamente, e houve diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os grupos com relação à idade e ao gênero (p<0,001). Os níveis de TSH foram similares em todos os grupos. A mediana do volume total da tiroide para pacientes com DM e TMG foi significativamente maior do que para os pacientes do grupo controle [22,5 (3‐202) mL, 20,2 (4‐190) mL, e 19,2 (3‐168) mL, respectivamente, p≤0,001 para todos os parâmetros]. Além disso, a mediana do volume total da tiroide para pacientes com DM foi significativamente maior do que no grupo TMG (p<0,001). De acordo com a análise de correlação, o volume da tiroide foi significativamente correlacionado com a idade (r=0,92; p<0,001) e TSH (r=0,435; p<0,001). A idade, o gênero, a concentração de TSH e o diagnóstico de TMG e DM se correlacionaram com o volume da tiroide de forma independente. Conclusão A tiroide ...

Serum uric acid and disorders of glucose metabolism: the role of glycosuria

Hyperuricemia has been associated with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and metabolic syndrome. We studied the association between hyperuricemia and glycemic status in a nonrandomized sample of primary care patients. This was a cross-sectional study of adults ≥20 years old who were members of a community-based health care program. Hyperuricemia was defined as a value >7.0 mg/dL for men and >6.0 mg/dL for women. The sample comprised 720 participants including controls (n=257) and patients who were hypertensive and euglycemic (n=118), prediabetic (n=222), or diabetic (n=123). The mean age was 42.4±12.5 years, 45% were male, and 30% were white. The prevalence of hyperuricemia increased from controls (3.9%) to euglycemic hypertension (7.6%) and prediabetic state (14.0%), with values in prediabetic patients being statistically different from controls. Overall, diabetic patients had an 11.4% prevalence of hyperuricemia, which was also statistically different from controls. Of note, diabetic subjects with glycosuria, who represented 24% of the diabetic participants, had a null prevalence of hyperuricemia, and statistically higher values for fractional excretion of uric acid, Na excretion index, and prevalence of microalbuminuria than those without glycosuria. Participants who were prediabetic or diabetic but without glycosuria had a similarly elevated prevalence of hyperuricemia. In contrast, diabetic patients with glycosuria had a null prevalence of hyperuricemia and excreted more uric acid and Na than diabetic subjects without glycosuria. The findings can be explained by enhanced proximal tubule reabsorption early in the course of dysglycemia that decreases with the ensuing glycosuria at the late stage of the disorder.
