Abstract:
This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of 4 weekly formulations of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) on glycemic control, including glycemic control, by using a network meta-analysis (NMA). Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched from inception until June 10, 2022. Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) enrolling participants with diabetes mellitus type 2 and a follow-up of at least 12 weeks were included, for which 4 eligible GLP-1RAs Exenatide, Dulaglutide, Semaglutide, Loxenatide were compared with either each other or placebo. The primary outcome is the change of hemoglobin A1c level. Secondary outcomes including additional glycemic control indicators and adverse events (AE). Frequentist random-effect NMA were conducted for effect comparison. This meta-analysis was registered on PROSPERO, CRD42022342241. Results: The NMA synthesized evidence from 12 studies covering 6213 patients and 10 GLP-1RA regimens. A pairwise comparison of glycosylated hemoglobin type A1C (HbA1c) lowering effects showed that once-weekly GLP-1 receptor agonists were significantly better than placebo, and their glucose-lowering intensity was Semaglutide 2.0mg, Semaglutide 1.0mg, Dulaglutide 4.5mg, and Semaglutide 0.5mg, Dulaglutide 3.0mg, PEX168 200ug, Dulaglutide 1.5mg, PEX168 100ug and Dulaglutide 0.75mg. The GLP-1RA regimen has a comparable safety profile for hypoglycemia. And with the exception of PEX168, all other long-acting GLP-1RA drugs had lower rates of diarrhea, nausea and vomiting than placebo. Conclusion: Regimens of GLP-1RAs had differential glycemic control. The efficacy and safety of Semaglutide 2.0mg in comprehensively lowering blood sugar showed the best performance.
