Trial overview
Official title: Efficacy of Belimumab vs. Anifrolumab in the Treatment of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE): A Multi-level Meta-regression and Network Meta-analysis
Trial description: This is a systematic literature review (SLR) study to identify and synthesize the evidence examining Belimumab and anifrolumab as treatment for participants with SLE and to determine the comparative efficacy of these drugs using a multi-level network meta-regression (ML-NMR) and network meta-analysis (NMA) of randomized controlled trial (RCT) data.Alternative analysis scenarios and methodologies (Simulated Treatment Comparison [STC] and Matching Adjusted Indirect Treatment Comparison [MAIC]) were additionally explored to inform recently published indirect comparison results.
