Physicians primarily regard it as infrequent bowel movements, while patients tend to have a broader definition. Ac- cording to the Rome IV criteria,5 chronic consti- pation is defined by the presence of the follow- ing for at least 3 months (with symptom onset at least 6 months prior to diagnosis): (1) Two or more of the following for more doi:10.3949/ccjm.84a.15141 than 25% of defecations: CLEVELAND CLINIC JOURNAL OF MEDICINE VOLUME 84 • NUMBER 5 MAY 2017 397 Downloaded from www.ccjm.org on September 30, 2021.

  • Efficacy and Safety of Intestinal Secretagogues for Chronic Constipation: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

The class-effect of these type of drugs has not been studied. Objective – To determine the efficacy and safety of intestinal secretagogues for the treatment of chronic constipation and constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome. Methods – A computer-based search of papers from 1966 to September 2017 was performed. Search strategy consisted of the following MESH terms: intestinal secretagogues OR linaclotide OR lubiprostone OR plecanatide OR tenapanor OR chloride channel AND chronic constipation OR irritable bowel syndrome. Data were extracted as intention-to-treat analyses. A random-effects model was used to give a more conservative estimate of the effect of individual therapies, allowing for any heterogeneity among studies. Outcome measures were described as Relative Risk of achieving an improvement in the symptom under consideration. Results – Database Search yielded 520 bibliographic citations: 16 trials were included for analysis, which enrolled 7658 patients. Twelve trials assessed the efficacy of intestinal secretagogues for chronic constipation. These were better than placebo at achieving an increase in the number of complete spontaneous bowel movements per week [RR 1.87 (1.24-2.83)], at achieving three or more spontaneous bowel movements per week [RR 1.56 (1.31- 1.85)] and at inducing spontaneous bowel movement after medication intake [RR 1.49 (1.07-2.06)].

Uremic toxins are integral within VC pathogenesis, as they exhibit adverse vascular influences ranging from atherosclerosis, vascular inflammation, to VC. Experimental removal of these toxins, including small molecular (phosphate, trimethylamine-N-oxide), large molecular (fibroblast growth factor-23, cytokines), and protein-bound ones (indoxyl sulfate, p-cresyl sulfate), ameliorates VC. As most uremic toxins share a gut origin, interventions through gastrointestinal tract are expected to demonstrate particular efficacy.

Washington, D.C. 20005 202.942.1000 Fax 202.942.1125 5.50.26 Section: Prescription Drugs Effective Date: July 1, 2020 Subsection: Gastrointestinal Agents Original Policy Date: October 11, 2019 Subject: Ibsrela Page: 1 of 5 Last Review Date: June 18, 2020 Ibsrela Description Ibsrela (tenapanor) Background Ibsrela (tenapanor) is a locally acting inhibitor of the sodium/hydrogen exchanger 3 (NHE3), an antiporter expressed on the apical surface of the small intestine and colon primarily responsible for the absorption of dietary sodium. By inhibiting NHE3 on the apical surface of the enterocytes, Ibsrela reduces absorption of sodium from the small intestine and colon, resulting in an increase in water secretion into the intestinal lumen, which accelerates intestinal transit time and results in softer stool consistency (1). Regulatory Status FDA-approved indication: Ibsrela is a sodium/hydrogen exchanger 3 (NHE3) inhibitor indicated for treatment of irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) in adults (1). Ibsrela has a boxed warning regarding the risk of serious dehydration in pediatric patients. Ibsrela is contraindicated in patients less than 6 years of age. Use should be avoided in patients 6 years to less than 12 years of age. The safety and effectiveness of Ibsrela have not been established in pediatric patients less than 18 years of age (1). Ibsrela is also contraindicated in patients with known or suspected mechanical gastrointestinal obstruction (1). The safety and effectiveness
