    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: Teneligliptin is a novel DPP-4 inhibitor in development for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus that does not require dose adjustment for diabetic patients with end-stage renal disease; however, it had not been known whether or not teneligliptin is safe or potent in dialysis patients. We conducted a prospective study to assess the utility of teneligliptin for diabetic patients undergoing hemodialysis. METHODS: Blood glucose, glycated albumin, and HbA1c were measured every 4 weeks, at 4, 12, 20, and 28 weeks, and every 8 weeks, respectively, for patients treated with teneligliptin (n = 14; 7 patients newly started and 7 that switched from other medications) and patients of a control group who continued ongoing antidiabetic therapy (n = 29). RESULTS: Blood glucose level showed a 36.7 mg/dl decrease from 4 weeks in the teneligliptin group (p < 0.05). The differences in glycated albumin (at 28 w) and HbA1c (at 24 w) between the teneligliptin group and the control group were -3.1 % (p < 0.05) and -0.57 % (p = 0.057), respectively. These parameters also decreased in patients who switched from voglibose 0.2 mg t.i.d. or vildagliptin 50 mg qd after teneligliptin administration. No case with hypoglycemia was identified. One patient had the dose of a laxative administered for constipation increased; however, no patient ceased teneligliptin due to side effects. CONCLUSION: Teneligliptin 20 mg is well tolerated, safe, and significantly improves glycemic control in diabetic patients with end-stage renal disease. Teneligliptin 20 mg once daily was considered to be more potent than voglibose 0.2 mg t.i.d. or vildagliptin 50 mg qd.
