Availability of comparative real-world evidence research in Medicare patients: implications for Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services drug price negotiations
Conclusion: Our results demonstrate there is a considerable amount of comparative RWE for apixaban, rivaroxaban, and etanercept but limited comparative RWE for the other drugs set to undergo CMS price negotiations in 2026; additionally, our findings set up a number of next steps (e.g., risk of bias assessments) for further exploration of the available evidence base. Overall, CMS and manufacturers should consider proactively generating high-quality comparative RWE studies in the Medicare population to ensure that future price negotiations are based on robust evidence.PMID:37815792 | DOI:10.57264/cer-2023-0125 (Source: Journ...

Adding empagliflozin to sitagliptin plus metformin vs. adding sitagliptin to empagliflozin plus metformin as triple therapy in Egyptian patients with type 2 diabetes: a 12-week open trial
CONCLUSIONS: Empagliflozin was superior to sitagliptin in relation to glycemic control, weight, and systolic/diastolic blood pressure reduction.PMID:37606137 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202308_33300 (Source: Pharmacological Reviews)
