BACKGROUND:

Plecanatide is a novel guanylate cyclase-C agonist for the treatment of functional constipation (FC). Its efficacy may vary across different racial populations.

OBJECTIVE:

This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of plecanatide in Chinese patients with FC.

METHODS:

This phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted across 40 hospitals in China. A total of 648 patients with FC were randomly assigned in a ratio of 1:1 to receive either plecanatide 3 mg or placebo for 12 weeks, followed by a 2-week follow-up. The primary efficacy endpoint was the durable overall complete spontaneous bowel movement (CSBM) response rate. Data on adverse events were collected. A post hoc logistic regression analysis was performed to identify predictors of durable overall CSBM response.

RESULTS:

After 12 weeks of continuous treatment, the durable overall CSBM response rates were 23.5% in the plecanatide group and 10.2% in the placebo group (p < 0.001). Plecanatide significantly increased the mean weekly frequency of CSBM (1.89 vs 0.9) and SBM (2.33 vs 1.03) compared with placebo throughout the treatment period. In addition, all other secondary efficacy endpoints showed statistically significant improvements with plecanatide compared with placebo. The most common treatment-related emergent adverse event was diarrhea, which occurred in 4.3% of plecanatide-treated patients and 0.6% of placebo-treated patients (p = 0.002). Plasma concentrations of plecanatide and its metabolite SP-338 remained below the lower limit of quantification (0.500 ng/ml) at all assessed time points. Weekly CSBM response at week 2 (odds ratio 43.476; 95% confidence interval 18.274-103.432) and baseline stool consistency (odds ratio 0.550; 95% confidence interval 0.366-0.827) were identified as effective predictors of durable overall CSBM response. Even among plecanatide non-responders, a significant improvement in SBM frequency compared with placebo was observed over the 12-week treatment period.

CONCLUSIONS:

Plecanatide 3 mg was effective and well tolerated in the treatment of Chinese patients with FC. A weekly CSBM response at week 2 may serve as a predictor of 12-week durable overall efficacy. Patients who did not achieve the primary endpoint may still benefit from plecanatide treatment.

Drugs and patient's dissatisfaction reporting: From a disproportionality pharmacovigilance analysis to social pharmacology

Article

Author: Montastruc, Jean-Louis

INTRODUCTION:

Patient satisfaction is a key element in medical practice. Few studies have investigated patient satisfaction or dissatisfaction with their drug treatment.

METHOD:

Using the World Health Organization (WHO) global pharmacovigilance database, we investigated, through disproportionality analyses, potential associations between exposure to drugs and "patient dissatisfaction with treatment" reports. All reports of "patient dissatisfaction with treatment" in adults until 31/12/2024 were included.

RESULTS/DISCUSSION:

Results are expressed as reporting odds ratio (ROR). Among 506 reports, three quarters came from consumers, involving mainly women aged between 45 and 64. The main coreported term was drug inefficacy (before adverse drug reactions). The first anatomical therapeutic chemical (ATC) group was dermatological drugs (25.5%) followed by alimentary tract and metabolism (24.3%), nervous system (22.5%) drugs. A significant association was found with 22 drugs with the highest ROR values for plecanatide, efinaconazole and avatrombopag.

CONCLUSION:

Despite its mandatory limitations (underreporting, selective reporting…), this study shows that pharmacovigilance data could help to understand some aspects of social pharmacology, here, patient dissatisfaction with their drug treatment.

Healthcare Utilization and Costs of Care in Patients With Irritable Bowel Syndrome With Constipation or Chronic Idiopathic Constipation After Initiating Oral Therapies: Real-World Analysis in the US Medicare Population

Article

Author: Kort, Jens ; Boules, Mena ; Lee, Tsung-Ying ; Ando, Masakazu ; Baldwin, Zachary ; Shah, Eric ; Sanchez Gonzalez, Yuri ; Champaloux, Steven W

INTRODUCTION:

Irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) and chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) are common functional intestinal disorders which impact all age groups, yet there is limited comparative evidence on the economic benefits of treatment of these conditions on the elderly. We assessed differences in healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) and total costs of care among Medicare-insured patients initiating linaclotide, lubiprostone, or plecanatide after 1 year.

METHODS:

Retrospective analysis from the Merative™ MarketScan^® Medicare Database (January 2017-September 2023), including adult patients who initiated a qualifying IBS-C/CIC medication (linaclotide, lubiprostone, plecanatide) (index date defined as date of initiation) and had at least 6 months of pre-index and 12 months of post-index continuous benefit coverage under fee-for-service Medicare plans. For HCRU and all-cause total cost (medical + pharmacy) outcomes, 12-month comparisons were characterized via count (for HCRU) or cost ratios between linaclotide and lubiprostone, and linaclotide and plecanatide. Generalized linear regression models adjusting for key baseline patient characteristics and 6-month pre-index HCRU and cost were used to estimate differences in outcomes at 12 months between treatment groups.

RESULTS:

A total of 7916 Medicare patients were included in the analysis, of whom 5773 initiated linaclotide, 1856 initiated lubiprostone, and 287 initiated plecanatide. After adjusting for key patient characteristics and pre-index HCRU, count ratios > 1 demonstrated that patients who received lubiprostone versus linaclotide had significantly greater HCRU (P < 0.05) at 12 months. After 12 months follow-up, adjusted all-cause total costs of care were significantly lower among patients who received linaclotide versus lubiprostone or plecanatide, largely driven by lower all-cause medical costs observed in patients who received linaclotide (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION:

These findings suggest that linaclotide treatment may be associated with lower total healthcare costs compared to lubiprostone and plecanatide for patients initiating IBS-C/CIC-related drugs in Medicare populations.

Ardelyx Presents Additional Data Detailing Educational Needs Related to IBS-C Management Across Healthcare Disciplines

WALTHAM, Mass., June 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ardelyx Inc. (Nasdaq: ARDX), a biopharmaceutical company founded with a mission to discover, develop and commercialize innovative, first-in-class medicines that meet significant unmet medical needs, today announced that data detailing educational needs related to irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) across healthcare disciplines was presented via a poster at the 2024 American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) Annual Conference, currently taking place in Nashville, Tennessee. Poster IND #37, entitled “Educational Needs Related to Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C) Management Across Disciplines: a Comparison of Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, and Physicians” includes findings from a case-based survey involving 410 cross-disciplinary healthcare professionals (HCPs) and sheds light on practice differences and educational requirements related to the diagnosis and management of IBS-C. The data reveals notable differences between nurse practitioners (NPs)/physician assistants (PAs) and physicians, particularly in their choice of IBS-C diagnostic criteria and testing methodologies, tendency to refer patients to specialists and approach to assessing pain levels. It also shows that gastroenterology HCPs are more likely to prescribe linaclotide, plecanatide or tenapanor for IBS-C patients who avoid social events due to discomfort, whereas primary care physicians are more likely to prescribe neuromodulators. These findings show the importance of tailoring educational initiatives to meet the specific needs of different clinical specialties and roles within the healthcare landscape. About Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C) Irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) is a gastrointestinal disorder characterized by both abdominal pain and altered bowel movements, estimated to affect 12 million people in the U.S. IBS-C is associated with significantly impaired quality of life, reduced productivity, and substantial economic burden. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING: RISK OF SERIOUS DEHYDRATION IN PEDIATRIC PATIENTS IBSRELA is contraindicated in patients less than 6 years of age; in nonclinical studies in young juvenile rats administration of tenapanor caused deaths presumed to be due to dehydration. Avoid use of IBSRELA in patients 6 years to less than 12 years of age. The safety and effectiveness of IBSRELA have not been established in patients less than 18 years of age. CONTRAINDICATIONS IBSRELA is contraindicated in: patients less than 6 years of age due to the risk of serious dehydration patients with known or suspected mechanical gastrointestinal obstruction WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Risk of Serious Dehydration in Pediatric Patients IBSRELA is contraindicated in patients below 6 years of age. The safety and effectiveness of IBSRELA in patients less than 18 years of age have not been established. In young juvenile rats (less than 1 week old; approximate human age equivalent of less than 2 years of age), decreased body weight and deaths occurred, presumed to be due to dehydration, following oral administration of tenapanor. There are no data available in older juvenile rats (human age equivalent 2 years to less than 12 years). Avoid the use of IBSRELA in patients 6 years to less than 12 years of age. Although there are no data in older juvenile rats, given the deaths in younger rats and the lack of clinical safety and efficacy data in pediatric patients, avoid the use of IBSRELA in patients 6 years to less than 12 years of age. Diarrhea Diarrhea was the most common adverse reaction in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials of IBS-C. Severe diarrhea was reported in 2.5% of IBSRELA-treated patients. If severe diarrhea occurs, suspend dosing and rehydrate patient. MOST COMMON ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common adverse reactions in IBSRELA-treated patients (incidence ≥2% and greater than placebo) were: diarrhea (16% vs 4% placebo), abdominal distension (3% vs <1%), flatulence (3% vs 1%) and dizziness (2% vs <1%). INDICATION IBSRELA (tenapanor) is indicated for the treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C) in adults. Please see full Prescribing Information, including Boxed Warning, for additional risk information. About Ardelyx Ardelyx was founded with a mission to discover, develop and commercialize innovative, first-in-class medicines that meet significant unmet medical needs. Ardelyx has two commercial products approved in the United States, IBSRELA® (tenapanor) and XPHOZAH® (tenapanor). Ardelyx has agreements for the development and commercialization of tenapanor outside of the U.S. Kyowa Kirin commercializes PHOZEVEL® (tenapanor) for hyperphosphatemia in Japan. A New Drug Application for tenapanor for hyperphosphatemia has been submitted in China with Fosun Pharma. Knight Therapeutics commercializes IBSRELA in Canada.
