Antigen-based immunotherapies do not prevent progression of recent-onset autoimmune diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the efficacy and safety of antigen-based immunotherapies in tertiary prevention of autoimmune diabetes. We searched for randomised controlled trials testing antigen-based immunotherapies in patients with recent-onset type 1 diabetes or latent autoimmune diabetes of adults in MEDLINE, COCHRANE and EMBASE databases, trial registries, conference proceedings and reference lists of pertinent records. Primary outcomes were fasting and stimulated C-peptide (after glucagon or mixed meal stimulation).

Systematic review and meta-analysis of vildagliptin for treatment of type 2 diabetes.

This systematic review and meta-analysis provides an update on the efficacy and safety of vildagliptin for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We searched MEDLINE, COCHRANE, EMBASE and the drug manufacturer's website for randomised controlled trials of vildagliptin in patients with T2DM. Sixty-nine studies (28,006 patients) were included in the meta-analysis.
