Background

SGLT2i are protective against progressive kidney function loss, yet their role in preventing drug toxicity is unknown. We sought to determine safety of concurrent SGLT2i use with cisplatin, a chemotherapy with significant nephrotoxicity

Methods

A Retrospective analysis of patients ages 18–65 years treated with cisplatin from 1st January 2000 to 31st May 2023 in TriNetX database. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on SGLT2i use (first-time exposure to SGLT2i within 3 months before or up to 3 months after first cisplatin administration). Cohorts were balanced via nearest-neighbor 1:1 propensity-score matching (PSM). Survival analysis was done via Kaplan-Meier curves with log-rank tests over a 1-year follow-up

Results

After PSM, we identified 150 patients per cohort (Fig 1). At 1 year, there was a significant decline of eGFR by 17.1+4.16 mL/min/1.73m2 in the SGLT2i group and 16.3+3.61 mL/min/1.73m2 in the non-SGLT2i group. There were fewer MAKE event rates, as well as its components (AKI, RRT, and mortality) in the SGLT2i group vs non SGLT2i, but the differences were not statistically significant (HR 0.88, 95%CI: 0.58-1.34, p=0.553) (Fig 2)

Conclusion

SGLT2i use during cisplatin therapy was not associated with increased AKI or MAKE risk. Prospective studies are needed to assess the nephroprotective potential of SGLT2i while on cisplatin therapy
