Impact of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with multiple myeloma and diabetes mellitus.

e19515 Background: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) is significantly higher in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) compared to the general population. DM has been associated with worse outcomes in MM, including reduced overall survival and increased mortality. The impact of diabetes in patients with MM is further compounded by cardiotoxicity from proteasome inhibitors and the increased thromboembolic risk linked to immunomodulatory agents. Given the potential benefits of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, we hypothesized that their use in MM patients with DM could improve clinical outcomes and mitigate adverse events in this population. Methods: We utilized the TriNetX network to identify patients (≥18 years old) with MM and DM between January 1, 2013, and January 1, 2019. We categorized the patients into SGLT2 inhibitors users and SGLT2 inhibitors users. Inclusion in the SGLT2 inhibitors group required exposure to SGLT2 inhibitors for at least 1 year. 1:1 Propensity score matching was performed to match these two groups based on comorbidities, medications, baseline hemoglobin A1c, low-density lipoprotein, and left ventricular ejection fraction to produce two comparable cohorts. The study outcomes include all-cause mortality, all-cause hospitalization, acute venous thromboembolism (VTE), acute heart failure (HF), acute myocardial infarction (MI), cardiac arrhythmia, and cardiac arrest over the 5-year follow-up duration. Results: A total of 43,078 patients were identified, including 3,640 SGLT2 inhibitors users and 39,438 non-SGLT-2 inhibitors users. After 1:1 propensity-score matching, there were 3,379 SGLT-2 inhibitor users (68.9 ± 10.3 years of age, 38.0% female, 23.9% African American [AA]) and 3,379 non-SGLT-2 inhibitor users (68.9 ± 11.0 years of age, 35.9% female, 22.2% AA). SGLT-2 inhibitors users were associated with lower rates of all-cause mortality (odds ratio [OR]: 0.34, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.30-0.39) and all-cause hospitalization (OR: 0.52, 95% CI: 0.47-0.58). Lower odds of acute VTE (OR: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.49-0.70), acute HF (OR: 0.89, 95% CI: 0.81-0.98), acute MI (OR: 0.81, 95% CI: 0.69-0.95), cardiac arrhythmia (OR: 0.82, 95% CI: 0.70-0.97), and cardiac arrest (OR: 0.57, 95% CI: 0.44-0.74) were reported among SGLT-2 inhibitors users compared to non-SGLT2 inhibitor users. Conclusions: Our study revealed that only 8.4% of patients with DM and MM were prescribed an SGLT-2 inhibitor. Our study also demonstrated that SGLT2 inhibitor use was associated with lower odds of all-cause mortality and hospitalization, reduced risk of VTE, and favorable cardiovascular outcomes in this patient population.
