  • New Developments in Prokinetic Therapy for Gastric Motility Disorders
    REVIEW published: 24 August 2021 doi: 10.3389/fphar.2021.711500 New Developments in Prokinetic Therapy for Gastric Motility Disorders Michael Camilleri* and Jessica Atieh Clinical Enteric Neuroscience Translational and Epidemiological Research (CENTER), Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, United States Prokinetic agents amplify and coordinate the gastrointestinal muscular contractions to facilitate the transit of intra-luminal content. Following the institution of dietary recommendations, prokinetics are the first medications whose goal is to improve gastric emptying and relieve symptoms of gastroparesis. The recommended use of metoclopramide, the only currently approved medication for gastroparesis in the United States, is for a duration of less than 3 months, due to the risk of reversible or irreversible extrapyramidal tremors. Domperidone, a dopamine D2 receptor antagonist, is available for prescription through the FDA’s program for Expanded Access to Investigational Drugs. Macrolides are used off label and are associated with tachyphylaxis and variable duration of efficacy. Aprepitant relieves some symptoms of gastroparesis. There are newer agents in the pipeline targeting diverse gastric (fundic, antral and pyloric) motor functions, including novel serotonergic 5-HT4 agonists, dopaminergic D2/3 antagonists, neurokinin NK1 antagonists, and ghrelin agonist.

Department of Palliative Care, Rehabilitation, and Integrative Medicine, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, 1515 Holcombe Blvd., Unit 1414, Houston, TX 77030, USA. Email: [email protected]. Abstract: Cancer cachexia (CC) is one of the most distressing syndromes for both patients and their families. CC can have an impact on patient reported quality of life and overall survival. It is often associated with symptoms such as fatigue, depressed mood, early satiety, and anorexia. Prokinetic agents have been found to improve chronic nausea and early satiety associated with CC. Among the prokinetic agents, metoclopramide is one of the best studied medications. The role of the other prokinetic agents, such as domperidone, erythromycin, haloperidol, levosulpiride, tegaserod, cisapride, mosapride, renzapride, and prucalopride is unclear for use in cachectic cancer patients due to their side effect profile and limited efficacy studies in cancer patients. There has been an increased interest in the use of ghrelin-receptor agonists for the treatment of CC. Anamorelin HCl is a highly selective, novel ghrelin receptor agonist.

McCallum Joseph Sunny, Jr. Gastroparesis is characterized by delayed gastric emptying without mechanical obstruction of the gastric outlet or small intestine. The main etiologies are diabetes, idiopathic and post- gastric and esophageal surgical settings. The management of gastroparesis is challenging due to a limited number of medications and patients often have symptoms, which are refractory to available medications.

  • A Systematic Review of the Effectiveness of Antianxiety and Antidepressive Agents for Functional Dyspepsia
    doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.9099-17 Intern Med 56: 3127-3133, 2017 http://internmed.jp 【 ORIGINAL ARTICLE 】 A Systematic Review of the Effectiveness of Antianxiety and Antidepressive Agents for Functional Dyspepsia Mariko Hojo 1, Akihito Nagahara 2, Daisuke Asaoka 1, Yuji Shimada 2, Hitoshi Sasaki 3, Kohei Matsumoto 1, Tsutomu Takeda 1, Hiroya Ueyama 1, Kenshi Matsumoto 1 and Sumio Watanabe 1 Abstract: Objective Functional dyspepsia (FD) is defined as persistent or recurrent pain or discomfort centered in the upper abdomen without organic disease. Psychosocial factors have been proposed as an important element in the pathophysiology of FD. Therefore, psychotropic agents having antianxiety or antidepressive action are ex- pected to alleviate FD. We previously reported on the treatment of FD using such agents in a systematic re- view, wherein the effectiveness of the agents on FD was suggested, although there were several limitations. We searched for articles on this subject after our systematic review and re-reviewed them systematically. Methods Articles were searched for in MEDLINE from 2003 to 2014 using terms related to antianxiety or antidepressive agents. Clinical studies in which the effectiveness of such agents was clearly stated were se- lected from the retrieved articles. The newly selected and previously selected studies were combined, and sta- tistical analyses were carried out. Results Nine studies were selected. Five of the studies indicated a significant symptomatic improvement us- ing psychotropic drugs. A statistical analysis suggested a significant treatment effect of psychotropic agents having antianxiety or antidepressive action [pooled relative risk (PRR), 0.72; 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 0.52-0.99; p=0.0406] but did not show a significant benefit of treatment with agents having an antide- pressive action alone (PRR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.38-1.03; p=0.0665).

Reason for the proposal New evidence We found 105 new studies in a search for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and systematic reviews published between 01 September 2013 and 18 July 2016. We also considered studies identified by members of the guideline committee who originally worked on this guideline.

  • Prokinetics for the Treatment of Functional Dyspepsia: Bayesian
    Yang et al. BMC Gastroenterology (2017) 17:83 DOI 10.1186/s12876-017-0639-0 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Prokinetics for the treatment of functional dyspepsia: Bayesian network meta-analysis Young Joo Yang, Chang Seok Bang* , Gwang Ho Baik, Tae Young Park, Suk Pyo Shin, Ki Tae Suk and Dong Joon Kim Abstract Background: Controversies persist regarding the effect of prokinetics for the treatment of functional dyspepsia (FD). This study aimed to assess the comparative efficacy of prokinetic agents for the treatment of FD. Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of prokinetics for the treatment of FD were identified from core databases. Symptom response rates were extracted and analyzed using odds ratios (ORs). A Bayesian network meta- analysis was performed using the Markov chain Monte Carlo method in WinBUGS and NetMetaXL. Results: In total, 25 RCTs, which included 4473 patients with FD who were treated with 6 different prokinetics or placebo, were identified and analyzed. Metoclopramide showed the best surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) probability (92.5%), followed by trimebutine (74.5%) and mosapride (63.3%). However, the therapeutic efficacy of metoclopramide was not significantly different from that of trimebutine (OR:1.32, 95% credible interval: 0.27–6.06), mosapride (OR: 1.99, 95% credible interval: 0.87–4.72), or domperidone (OR: 2.04, 95% credible interval: 0.92–4.60). Metoclopramide showed better efficacy than itopride (OR: 2.79, 95% credible interval: 1. 29–6.21) and acotiamide (OR: 3.07, 95% credible interval: 1.43–6.75). Domperidone (SUCRA probability 62.9%) showed better efficacy than itopride (OR: 1.37, 95% credible interval: 1.07–1.77) and acotiamide (OR: 1.51, 95% credible interval: 1.04–2.18).
