This study aimed to develop a model estimating the benefit of alternative treatment options for individual patients by combining prognosis research and network meta-analysis methods. The model found that patient characteristics impact treatment effects and can help clinicians choose the best treatment option for patients of different risks.
Treatment effects vary across different patients, and estimation of this variability is essential for clinical decision-making. We aimed to develop a model estimating the benefit of alternative treatment options for individual patients, extending a risk modeling approach in a network meta-analysis framework. We propose a two-stage prediction model for heterogeneous treatment effects by combining prognosis research and network meta-analysis methods where individual patient data are available. In the first stage, a prognostic model to predict the baseline risk of the outcome. In the second stage, we use the baseline risk score from the first stage as a single prognostic factor and effect modifier in a network meta-regression model. We apply the approach to a network meta-analysis of three randomized clinical trials comparing the relapses in Natalizumab, Glatiramer Acetate, and Dimethyl Fumarate, including 3590 patients diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. We find that the baseline risk score modifies the relative and absolute treatment effects. Several patient characteristics, such as age and disability status, impact the baseline risk of relapse, which in turn moderates the benefit expected for each of the treatments. For high-risk patients, the treatment that minimizes the risk of relapse in 2 years is Natalizumab, whereas Dimethyl Fumarate might be a better option for low-risk patients. Our approach can be easily extended to all outcomes of interest and has the potential to inform a personalized treatment approach.
