TLDR
DPP4is, especially vildagliptin, are associated with an increased risk for development of BP, and their use needs to be carefully evaluated, particularly in high‐risk patients, such as males and those age 80 years or older.Abstract:
Background Case reports have suggested an association between dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4is) and development of bullous pemphigoid (BP). Objective To evaluate the association between DPP4i treatment and development of BP. Methods We conducted a retrospective 1:2 case-control study, comparing case patients with diabetes and BP with age- and sex-matched control patients with diabetes issued from Swiss (Bern) and French (Marseille) dermatologic departments from January 1, 2014, to July 31, 2016. Results We collected 61 case patients with diabetes and BP and 122 controls. DPP4is were associated with an increased risk for development of BP (adjusted odds ratio, 2.64; 95% confidence interval, 1.19-5.85; P = .02), with vildagliptin showing the highest adjusted odds ratio (3.57 [95% confidence interval, 1.07-11.84; P = .04]). Stratified analysis showed a stronger association in males and patients age 80 years or older. DPP4i withdrawal and the initiation of first-line treatments led to clinical remission in 95% of cases. Limitations This was a retrospective study in tertiary referral hospitals. We focused the analysis on DPP4i intake, without analyzing the potential isolated effect of metformin. Conclusions DPP4is, especially vildagliptin, are associated with an increased risk for development of BP. Their use needs to be carefully evaluated, particularly in high-risk patients, such as males and those age 80 years or older.read more

TL;DR: A retrospective case-control study of the intake of different DPP-4 inhibitor agents and metformin and occurrence of BP among patients with diabetes in a tertiary care referral center for autoimmune bullous diseases in northern Israel found that vildagliptin and, to a lesser extent, linagli leptin are associated with an increased risk of BP.

TL;DR: A strong beneficial effect of the mild regimen was observed in patients with moderate BP, with an almost twofold decrease in the risk of death or life-threatening adverse events relative to the standard regimen.

TL;DR: It is shown that the autoAb profile differentiates between inflammatory and noninflammatory BP, and that non inflammatory BP may be associated with dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitors.
