About
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most common autoimmune bullous dermatosis. It mainly affects the elderly, and its cutaneous manifestations are extremely varied. Since the publication of the first case of PB associated with sulfasalazine in 1970, several drugs have been reported for their potential link with the development of PB. Recently, cases of PB associated with dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP4) inhibitors, also known as gliptins, have been reported. DPP4 inhibitors are oral antidiabetic agents prescribed to patients with type 2 diabetes, as monotherapy, in combination with other oral antidiabetic agents or with insulin.
In recent years, an increasing number of cases have been published, describing the potential role of gliptins in PB induction. All these clinical cases and pharmacovigilance analyzes tend to show an increased risk of developing BP in case of gliptin exposure.
The main objective is to evaluate the risk of developing a PB under DPP4 inhibitor treatment, comparing cases of diabetic patients with BP, to matched diabetic controls for sex and age, from French departments. Endocrinology in a retrospective study from 1 January 2014 to 31 July 2016.
The study will be conducted using databases of clinical and histological records. The investigators will perform a retrospective 1: 2 case-control study comparing cases with type 2 diabetes and BP to matched diabetic controls for sex and age, randomly drawn from French endocrinology departments (Marseille La Conception ) and Switzerland (Bern), between January 1, 2014 and July 31, 2016. the investigators will compare gliptin exposure in the case-control group versus the control group, adjusting for potential confounding bias using models. logistic regression.
Full description
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most common autoimmune bullous dermatosis. It mainly affects the elderly, and its cutaneous manifestations are extremely varied. Since the publication of the first case of PB associated with sulfasalazine in 1970, several drugs (spironolactone, furosemide, chloroquine, beta-blockers and various antibiotics) have been reported for their potential link with the development of PB. Recently, cases of PB associated with dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP4) inhibitors, also known as gliptins, have been reported. DPP4 inhibitors are oral antidiabetic agents prescribed to patients with type 2 diabetes, as monotherapy, in combination with other oral antidiabetic agents or with insulin.
Problem raised:
In recent years, an increasing number of cases have been published, describing the potential role of gliptins in PB induction. All these clinical cases and pharmacovigilance analyzes tend to show an increased risk of developing BP in case of gliptin exposure, but this hypothesis has not yet been confirmed by a quality controlled study.
Goal:
The main objective is to evaluate the risk of developing a PB under DPP4 inhibitor treatment, comparing cases of diabetic patients with BP, to matched diabetic controls for sex and age, from French departments. Endocrinology (Marseille La Conception) and Dermatologie (Marseille North, Marseille La Timone) and Swiss (Bern), in a retrospective study from 1 January 2014 to 31 July 2016.
Material and methods:
The study will be conducted in three university departments of Dermatology (Marseille North, Marseille La Timone, Bern), using databases of clinical and histological records. The investigators will perform a retrospective 1: 2 case-control study comparing cases with type 2 diabetes and BP to matched diabetic controls for sex and age, randomly drawn from French endocrinology departments (Marseille La Conception ) and Switzerland (Bern), between January 1, 2014 and July 31, 2016. The investigators will compare gliptin exposure in the case-control group versus the control group, adjusting for potential confounding bias using models. logistic regression.

Inclusion criteria
Case: Patients from three university departments of Dermatology (Marseille North, Marseille La Timone, Bern) with type 2 diabetes, and a diagnosis of PB diagnosed for the first time between January 1, 2014 and July 31, 2016. The diagnosis of PB is based on compatible clinical presentation, compatible histology, positive direct immunofluorescence (IFD), and in some cases positive indirect immunofluorescence (IFI) and / or the presence of autoantibodies (BP180 and / or BP230) by ELISA.
Exclusion criteria
Case: Patients with another bullous dermatosis, not meeting the inclusion criteria. Patients biopsied before consultation in University Hospital, or patients seen in private dermatology practices.
Witnesses: Patients suffering at the time of inclusion of a chronic dermatosis, in particular of a bullous dermatosis.
