The Safety of Pharmacotherapy for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Review

Author: Busam, Jonathan A. ; Pimentel, Mark ; Rezaie, Ali ; Joo, LiJin ; Marshall, Caroline ; Batta, Nisha ; Shah, Eric D.

INTRODUCTION::

Understanding the safety of pharmacotherapy for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) enables individuals to make informed treatment decisions. While many studies include the number needed to treat to highlight therapeutic benefits, adding the number needed to harm (NNH), a measure we evaluate herein, could enable more comprehensive risk-benefit assessments.

METHODS::

PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases were searched through October 2024. Clinical trials investigating IBS pharmacotherapies including discontinuation rates because of adverse events (AEs) were included. Data were pooled using a random-effects model. The primary outcome was NNH for each pharmacotherapy, defined as the reciprocal of the absolute difference in risk of AEs leading to treatment discontinuation between the experimental and placebo groups. Secondary outcomes included the relative risk of withdrawing because of an AE and the most common AEs for each drug.

RESULTS::

Fifty-four trials met inclusion criteria. For constipation-predominant IBS pharmacotherapies, the NNH for linaclotide, lubiprostone, plecanatide, tegaserod, and tenapanor was 35 ( P < 0.01), 53 ( P = 0.59), 59 ( P < 0.01), 58 ( P = 0.03), and 16 ( P < 0.01), respectively. For diarrhea-predominant IBS pharmacotherapies, the NNH for alosetron and eluxadoline was 14 ( P < 0.01) and 32 ( P < 0.01) whereas the NNH for both rifaximin and ramosetron was a negative, although statistically insignificant, value. For IBS global symptom pharmacotherapies, the tricyclics, the NNH was 24 ( P < 0.01). Many AEs were transient without long-term sequela.

DISCUSSION::

Among pharmacotherapies for IBS, tricyclics (especially at elevated doses), tenapanor, and alosetron have the highest absolute risk of discontinuation because of an AE when compared with rifaximin, the safest pharmacotherapy studied.

Laxative logic: when lifestyle is not enough

Review

Author: Colbran, Rachel ; Neshatian, Leila

Purpose of review:

Chronic constipation remains challenging to manage, particularly when lifestyle measures prove insufficient. With an expanding range of pharmacologic options available, clinicians face the task of choosing the right agent for the right patient. This review explores recent developments in prescription laxatives and their evolving role in practice.

Recent findings:

Randomized controlled trials have confirmed the safety and efficacy of newer prescription laxative agents including secretagogues (linaclotide, lubiprostone, plecanatide), sodium/hydrogen exchanger isoform 3 (NHE3) inhibitors (tenapanor), serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor agonists (prucalopride), and bile acid reabsorption inhibitors (elobixibat). Each drug offers its own unique advantages, with new evidence suggesting these therapies may provide symptom relief beyond managing stool consistency alone.

Summary:

Patients with constipation now have access to a wide range of medications, from over-the-counter osmotic and stimulant agents to prescription laxative combination strategies. This breadth allows clinicians to tailor therapy to diverse pathophysiology and symptom profiles. Yet despite this choice, real-world adherence remains poor and many patients are dissatisfied, reflecting the complexity of treating constipation and frequent mismatches between therapy and patients’ most bothersome symptoms. Management should emphasize careful symptom assessment, shared decision-making, and clear expectation setting, while leveraging the available armamentarium.

Efficacy and safety of pharmacological therapies for functional constipation in children: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Review

Author: de Geus, Anna ; Sinopoulou, Vassiliki ; Gordon, Morris ; Benninga, Marc A ; Liu, Shiyao ; Tabbers, Merit M ; Ajiboye, Aderonke ; Thornton, Alexander J ; Arruda Navarro Albuquerque, Daniel

BACKGROUND:

There has been a substantial increase in studies on functional constipation in children as new therapies are deployed. We aimed to provide an up-to-date, methodologically robust systematic review and meta-analysis on the efficacy and safety of pharmacological therapies for functional constipation in children.

METHODS:

In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched PubMed, Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane library from inception to Feb 5, 2025. We included randomised controlled trials that involved children aged 0 years to younger than 18 years with functional constipation treated with pharmacological interventions compared with placebo, no treatment, or other interventions and with at least a 2-week follow-up period. Studies were excluded if there was no definition of functional constipation, children with organic causes for constipation or previous bowel surgery were included, children with faecal incontinence without the presence of constipation were included, or the aim of treatment was faecal disimpaction rather than maintenance therapy. Pairs of authors independently extracted summary data from published reports and critiqued studies. We assessed risk of bias with the Cochrane tool. Meta-analyses estimated risk ratios (RRs) or mean differences, and 95% CIs. Certainty of evidence was established with GRADE. Our main outcomes were treatment success (as defined by study authors), defecation frequency, and withdrawals due to adverse events. This study was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42022368719).

FINDINGS:

Our search identified 4595 articles, of which 59 randomised controlled trials were included, representing 7045 participants with functional constipation. Interventions included polyethylene glycol (n=36 studies), lactulose (n=18), magnesium oxide or magnesium hydroxide (n=7), picosulfate (n=1), liquid paraffin (n=4), prucalopride (n=1), lubiprostone (n=2), linaclotide (n=3), plecanatide (n=1), enemas (n=2), and domperidone (n=1). Meta-analyses for treatment success showed that polyethylene glycol was probably more effective than placebo (RR 1·74 [95% CI 1·25-2·41], moderate certainty of evidence) and may be more effective than lactulose (1·35 [1·11-1·64], low certainty of evidence). There might be no difference in treatment success for linaclotide compared with placebo (1·21 [0·69-2·13], low certainty of evidence), but linaclotide probably leads to higher defecation frequency per week (mean difference 1·10 [95% CI 0·40-1·80], moderate certainty of evidence). There is low to moderate certainty evidence that prucalopride is not more effective than placebo (RR 1·68 [95% CI 0·77 to 3·68]).

INTERPRETATION:

Polyethylene glycol is probably more effective than placebo and key comparator therapies and should be considered the standard of first-line care. Future studies should consider polyethylene glycol as an index therapy, and clearly describe methods, patient characteristics, and previous therapeutics.

FUNDING:

None.

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.
