Meta-analysis of the efficacy and safety of rituximab in the treatment of primary Sjögren syndrome
检索Cochrane Library、PubMed、Embase、Medline、Web of Science、维普网、中国知网、万方数据等数据库,收集RTX(试验组)对比安慰剂(对照组)治疗pSS的随机对照试验(RCT),检索时限为建库至2024年2月。对文献进行资料提取和质量评价后,采用RevMan 5.3软件进行Meta分析。
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of rituximab (RTX) in the treatment of primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS).
METHODS
2
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the effects of RTX (trial group) versus placebo (control group) in the treatment of pSS were searched from the Cochran Library, PubMed, Embase, Medline, Web of Science, VIP, CNKI, Wanfang, and other databases during the inception to February 2024. After literature screening and quality evaluation, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software.
RESULTS
2
Seven RCTs were finally included, involving a total of 518 patients. Results of meta-analysis showed that European League Against Rheumatism Sjögren syndrome disease activity index (ESSDAI) score [MD=-1.17, 95%CI(-1.52, -0.82),
, total salivary gland ultrasound score [SMD=-1.91, 95%CI(-4.01, 0.19),
P
=0.07
]
or the incidence of adverse drug reactions [OR=1.15,95%CI(0.62,2.13),
P
=0.66
]
between 2 groups.
CONCLUSIONS
2
RTX has advantages in the improvement of ESSDAI score, unstimulated salivary flow rate, Schirmer score and oral dryness VAS score in pSS patients, and has a good safety profile. However, it did not exhibit significant improvement in fatigue VAS score, ESSPRI score, SF36-PCS score, SF36-MCS score or response rates.
