An Indirect Comparison of Changes in the Impact of Weight on Quality of Life Among Subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Treated with Antihyperglycemic Agents in Dual Therapy with Metformin

Introduction It is important to capture the patient experience with a diabetes treatment in clinical trials; however, use of instruments to assess patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in diabetes trials is inconsistent and results may not be reported alongside primary efficacy data. In lieu of head-to-head data, indirect comparisons can be used to compare competing interventions. In this study, we used indirect comparison methods to assess differences in PRO score changes between canagliflozin and other antihyperglycemic agents as add-on to metformin.
