791-P: Ertugliflozin in Older Patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D): An Analysis from VERTIS CV

Abstract

VERTIS CV was a cardiovascular (CV) outcome trial of ertugliflozin vs. placebo in patients (pts) with T2D and atherosclerotic CV disease. Here we analyzed the cardiorenal outcomes and safety of ertugliflozin in older pts. Among 8238 pts randomized and treated with ertugliflozin 5 mg, 15 mg, or placebo, 4093 (49.7%) were 0.05 for all outcomes assessed (FIGURE). The incidences of adverse events (AEs), serious AEs (including deaths), and discontinuations due to an AE were higher in older vs. younger pts, but generally similar across treatment groups in pts ≥65 and ≥75 yrs. The incidence of renal-related AEs was similar across treatment groups in younger and older pts. The incidences of genital mycotic infection and urinary tract infection were higher with ertugliflozin vs. placebo in older pts. The incidences of hypovolemia AEs with ertugliflozin vs. placebo in pts ≥65 was 5.3% vs. 4.5% and in pts ≥75 yrs was 6.9% vs. 5.8%. Cardiorenal outcomes were similar in pts ≥65 and Disclosure R. E.
