A novel model-based meta-analysis to indirectly estimate the comparative efficacy of two medications: an example using DPP-4 inhibitors, sitagliptin and linagliptin, in treatment o... by Yan Gong, James Rogers, Christian Friedrich, Sanjay Patel, Alexander Staab, Jorge Luiz Gross, Daniel Polhamus, William Gillespie, Brigitta Ursula Monz, Silke Retlich

“…Simulations showed both linagliptin 5 mg and sitagliptin 100 mg reduced HbA1c by 0.81% (placebo-adjusted) at week 24. Credible intervals for participants without washout were −0.88 to −0.75 (linagliptin) and −0.89 to −0.73 (sitagliptin), and for those with washout, −0.91 to −0.76 (linagliptin) and −0.91 to −0.75 (sitagliptin).Conclusions This study demonstrates the use of longitudinal MBMA in the field of diabetes treatment. …”
