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 of type 2 diabetes mellitus by Yan Gong, James Rogers, Christian Friedrich, Sanjay Patel, Alexander Staab, Jorge Luiz Gross, Daniel Polhamus, William Gillespie, Brigitta Ursula Monz, Silke Retlich

“…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. Based on an example evaluating HbA1c reduction with linagliptin versus sitagliptin, the model used seems a valid approach for indirect drug comparisons.…”
