Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the risk of pancreatic cancer (PC) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who are treated with sitagliptin. Methods Articles reporting the risk of PC in T2DM patients treated with sitagliptin published before July 10, 2022 were searched in the online databases, including EMBASE, MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library, PubMed. STATA 12.0 software was used for meta-analysis. Two investigators were independently responsible for article screen, data collection and quality assessment. Results A total of 11 randomized controlled trials involving 33, 360 T2DM patients were identified. Meta-analysis using a fixed-effect model showed that sitagliptin treatment did not significantly increase the risk of PC in T2DM patients ( R R=0.74, 95% C I: 0.45-1.21, P=0.225). Subgroup analyses showed that the monotherapy ( R R=0.82, 95% C I: 0.39-1.71, P=0.600) and combination regimen of sitagliptin ( R R=0.68, 95% C I: 0.35-1.31, P=0.244) did not significantly increase the risk of PC in T2DM patients. Conclusion Sitagliptin treatment is not associated with the increase in the risk of PC.
