As strategy-driven, head-to-head RCTs comparing SGLT-2i, GLP-1RA, or DPP-4i with metformin (and their combination with metformin) while ensuring glycemic and weight equipoise are unlikely to become available in the future, sharing and analyzing individual-level data from already conducted RCT would help to inform the evidence for the best first-line treatment(s) in subjects with type 2 diabetes and confirm or refute our finding (Diabetes Care)

Efficacy of Modern Diabetes Treatments DPP-4i, SGLT-2i, and GLP-1RA in White and Asian Patients With Diabetes
The glucose-lowering efficacy of SGLT-2i, and to a lesser extent DPP-4i, was greater in studies of predominantly Asian ethnicity compared with studies of predominantly white ethnicity. There was no difference seen by ethnicity for GLP-1RA (Diabetes Care)
Short and medium-term efficacy of sodium glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors: A meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials
SGLT-2 inhibitors showed a good persistence of efficacy, at least up to 2 years, with a small but significant superiority over DPP-4i. Sulfonylureas are more effective in the very short term, but less effective in the longer term (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Renal Protective Effect of DPP-4 Inhibitors in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients: A Cohort Study
Administration of DPP-4i reduces urine albumin excretion and mitigates reduction of eGFR in T2DM patients (Journal of Diabetes Research)
Association Between Hospitalization for Heart Failure and Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitors in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
In patients with type 2 diabetes, there was no association between hHF, or other selected cardiovascular outcomes, and treatment with a DPP-4i relative to SU or treatment with saxagliptin relative to sitagliptin (Diabetes Care)
