Medication is supposed to improve the lives of those suffering from certain conditions. When doctors write you a prescription, you shouldn’t have to worry about cancer risks or any other issues that could harm your health. But, not all medications were created equal. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first class of incretin mimetic drugs in 2006. However, since at least 2009 the drugs have been under scrutiny for a possible link to pancreatic cancer.

There continues to be an ongoing debate as to whether or not incretin mimetics are safe. Studies continue to find a link between the use of incretins and increased pancreatic cancer risks.

Further, in 2013, the FDA began investigating findings from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. The Johns Hopkins studies suggest that incretins lead to an increased risk of:

Pancreatitis
Pre-cancerous cellular changes (pancreatic duct metaplasia)
Pancreatic cancer
A year after the FDA’s announcement, both the FDA and the EMA came to the conclusion that while there still wasn’t nearly enough data to rule that incretins led to pancreatic cancer, the drugs would carry a warning label for pancreatitis.

What are Incretin Mimetics?
Incretin Mimetics are a group of drugs to treat Type 2 diabetes. Januvia, Victoza, Janumet, and Byetta are oral prescription pills or injectable medications used to help lower a diabetic patient’s glucose levels. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Januvia in 2006, and Janumet in 2007. Drugs in the incretin mimetic class include the following:

Byetta
Bydureon
Victoza
Januvia
Janumet
Janumet XR
Juvisyn
Onglyza
Kombiglyze XR
Nesina
Kazano
Oseni
Tradjenta
Jentadueto

These drugs work by mimicking the incretin hormones that the body naturally produces to stimulate the release of insulin in response to a meal. Along with diet and exercise, these medications lower blood sugar in adults living with type 2 diabetes.
