Ertugliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor, seems to improve glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We aim to evaluate the efficacy of Ertugliflozin across multiple time intervals (18, 26, and 52 weeks) in T2DM patients. A literature search was conducted on electronic databases. Data was extracted from eligible studies at both 5 mg and 15 mg doses in monotherapy and as add-on therapy. Cochrane RevMan was used to perform the meta-analysis. Ertugliflozin, at both 5 mg and 15 mg doses, demonstrated a significant improvement in HbA1c levels at 18 weeks 5 mg [P = 0.00001], 15 mg [P = 0.05], and at 26 weeks in monotherapy 5 mg [P = 0.006], monotherapy 15 mg [P = 0.006], 5 mg as add-on therapy [P = 0.00001], 15 mg add-on therapy [P = 0.00001] respectively. At 52 weeks, the reduction in HbA1c was significant in 15 mg add-on therapy [P = 0.0001]. Additionally, ertugliflozin as an add-on therapy also led to a significant reduction in FPG, body weight, and systolic blood pressure. Ertugliflozin showed clinical efficacy in improving glycemic control, fasting plasma glucose, body weight, and systolic blood pressure in T2DM patients over the studied time intervals compared to placebo.
