High-alert therapy area: The blurred boundary between diabetes treatment and weight management has created significant compliance risk for GLP-1 and SGLT-2 teams. Cardiorenal benefit claims, class effect statements and weight loss promotion โ even as secondary messaging โ are consistent PMCPA triggers across this category.
SGLT-2 inhibitor cardiorenal data spans multiple CVOTs and renal outcome trials, with different endpoints and patient populations. Conflating heart failure, renal protection and MACE data โ or claiming outcomes across a population not represented in the trial โ is a persistent high-risk area.
GLP-1 agonist promotional materials that highlight weight loss as a benefit โ even as a secondary endpoint โ risk straying into off-label obesity promotion. This is a particularly sensitive issue given the Ozempic/Wegovy overlap and PMCPA scrutiny since 2022.
Attributing cardiovascular or renal outcomes demonstrated in one SGLT-2 inhibitor trial to the class as a whole โ or to an agent whose licence was extended later โ has resulted in multiple upheld PMCPA complaints across the diabetes space.
Comparative claims between insulin biosimilars and reference products, or between biosimilar insulins, require careful attention to equivalence data, trial design and the distinction between bioequivalence and clinical equivalence.
Framing competitor insulins or diabetes medicines as carrying higher hypoglycaemia risk without robust comparative data, or using hypoglycaemia endpoint data selectively, is a source of competitor complaints in the diabetes space.
Indirect comparisons between DPP-4 inhibitors and GLP-1 agonists in HbA1c reduction, weight or cardiovascular outcomes without head-to-head data require very careful qualification to avoid upheld PMCPA rulings.
