Article Abstract
Context: The coexistence of diabetes mellitus and atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with substantial risks of adverse cardiovascular events.
Objective: The relevant outcomes associated with the use of a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) vs glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with/without concomitant AF remain unknown.
Methods: In this nationwide retrospective cohort study from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database, there were 344 392 and 31 351 patients with T2D without AF, and 11 462 and 816 T2D patients with AF treated with SGLT2is and GLP-1RAs, respectively, from May 1, 2016, to December 31, 2019. Patients were followed from the drug index date until the occurrence of study events, discontinuation of the index drug, or the end of the study period (December 31, 2020), whichever occurred first. We used propensity score-stabilized weight to balance covariates across the 2 medication groups.
Results: The incidence rate of all study outcomes in patients with concomitant AF was much higher than in those without concomitant AF. For the AF cohort, SGLT2i vs GLP-1RA was associated with a lower risk of hospitalization for heart failure (HF) (2.32 vs 4.74 events per 100 person-years; hazard ratio [HR] 0.48, 95% CI 0.36-0.66), with no benefit seen for the non-AF cohort (P for homogeneity < .01). SGLT2i vs GLP-1RA was associated with a lower risk of composite kidney outcomes both in the AF (0.38 vs 0.79 events per 100 person-years; HR 0.47; 95% CI 0.23-0.96) and the non-AF cohorts (0.09 vs 0.18 events per 100 person-years; HR 0.53; 95% CI 0.43-0.64). There were no significant differences in the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality in those who received SGLT2i compared with GLP-1RA for the AF or non-AF cohorts.
Conclusion: Considering the high risk of developing HF and/or high prevalence of concomitant HF in patients with concomitant diabetes and AF, whether SGLT2is should be the preferred treatment to GLP-1RAs for such a high-risk population requires further investigation.

Montelukast Use and the Risk of Neuropsychiatric Adverse Events in Children.
JAMA Pediatr
January 2025
Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.
Importance: Spontaneous reports have indicated that montelukast increases the risk of neuropsychiatric adverse events, and the US Food and Drug Administration added a boxed warning about these risks in 2020. However, the potential mechanism is not well understood, and the observational evidence is scarce, particularly in children.
Objective: To assess the potential association between the use of montelukast and the risk of neuropsychiatric adverse events in children and adolescents.
A Randomized, Comparative Trial of a Potassium-Competitive Acid Blocker (X842) and Lansoprazole for the Treatment of Patients with Erosive Esophagitis.

Department of Gastroenterology, Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, National Clinical Research Center for Digestive Diseases, Beijing Digestive Disease Center, Beijing 100050, China.
Introduction: X842 is a new type of gastric acid-suppressing agent with a rapid onset of action and a long duration of effect. We aim to investigate the efficacy and safety of different doses of X842 versus lansoprazole in the treatment of patients with erosive esophagitis (EE).
Methods: This phase 2 study included 90 patients with EE (Los Angeles grades A-D) who were randomized (1:1:1) to receive oral low-dose X842 (50 mg/day, n=31), high-dose X842 (100 mg/day, n=31), or lansoprazole (30 mg/day, n=30) for 4 weeks.
A cost-effectiveness analysis of sotorasib as second-line treatment for patients with KRAS-G12C-mutated metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) in Switzerland.
Swiss Med Wkly
January 2025
Cancer Center und Research Center, Cantonal Hospital Graubünden, Chur, Switzerland.
Background And Objective: Because of the lack of effective targeted treatment options, docetaxel has long been the standard second-line therapy for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, including the Kirsten rat sarcoma virus (KRAS) G12C mutation. The CodeBreak 200 trial demonstrated that sotorasib, a new drug targeting the G12C-mutated KRAS protein, modestly improved progression-free survival compared with docetaxel in patients whose cancer had progressed after receiving platinum chemotherapy and programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) / programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors as first-line treatment. Consequently, sotorasib received temporary approval in Switzerland.

Br J Clin Pharmacol
January 2025
F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd, Basel, Switzerland.
Aims: Crovalimab is a novel C5 inhibitor administered first intravenously and then subcutaneously in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH) naive to complement inhibition or switching from eculizumab or ravulizumab. Crovalimab showed efficacy and safety comparable to eculizumab in the pivotal COMMODORE 2 and supporting studies.
Methods: We characterized crovalimab pharmacokinetics and the relationship between exposure pharmacokinetic parameters and pharmacodynamic biomarkers, efficacy and safety endpoints using pooled data (healthy volunteers [n = 9], naive [n = 210] and switched [n = 211] patients).
Enhancing Thromboembolic Risk Prediction in Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation: The Critical Role of Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE).

Cardiology, Avicenna Military Hospital, Marrakesh, MAR.
Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common cardiac arrhythmia, poses challenges in predicting thromboembolic risk. While the CHADS-VASc (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥ 75 years (doubled), type 2 diabetes mellitus, previous stroke, transient ischemic attack, or thromboembolism (doubled), vascular disease, age 65-74 years, and sex category) score remains essential, its limitations include failure to identify left atrial (LA) thrombus in some patients. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) provides superior detection of LA thrombi and thrombogenic factors compared to transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), improving risk stratification, especially in intermediate-risk groups.
