Effect of linaclotide in irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS‐C): a systematic review and meta‐analysis

Abstract: Linaclotide is moderately effective in improving symptoms of IBS-C with diarrhea being the major side effect. Further studies are needed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of linaclotide for IBS-C.

“…Moreover, the expected cost of approximately $12/day may be prohibitive [19]. Similar data from a recent systematic review and metaanalysis of linaclotide in IBS-C found that linaclotide reduces the number of failures to achieve symptom relief by 165/1000 patients compared to placebo; nevertheless 31/1000 patients discontinued therapy due to severe diarrhea [20]. In a recent review of IBS-C and CIC studies, diarrhea experienced while taking linaclotide led to study withdrawal in 4.5-5.7% of patients compared to 0.2-0.3% in placebo groups.…”

“…Based on the clinical trials and meta-analyses that compared linaclotide to placebo (122,123) both in patients with IBS-C (RR: 1.95; 95% CI: 1.3-2.9, based on 7 studies) and in patients with FC (RR: 4.26; 95% CI: 2.80-6.47, based on 3 studies), linaclotide is clearly effective for relieving constipation symptoms with a NNT of 7 (95% CI: 5-11) (122) in both groups, with highly homogeneous results across studies. Linaclotide effects not only target constipation but also improve pain and distension in both groups (FC, IBS-C) as seen in clinical trials (benefit of 15-30% over placebo).…”

“…Après une commercialisation dans certains pays, aucun au sein de l'union européenne, ces molécules ont été rapidement retirées compte tenu de l'apparition d'effets indésira-bles graves avec quelques cas de décès. Depuis, le linaclotide, un agoniste de la guanilate cyclase, a montré un effet significatif chez les patients ayant des TFI à constipation prédominante [23] avec un profil de tolérance satisfaisant, cette molécule ayant une action locale. Cependant, bien qu'ayant obtenu une autorisation de mise sur le marché européen, cette molécule n'est pas commercialisée en France en raison du refus donné au remboursement pour le prix demandé par le laboratoire, bien loin de celui des anti-TNF ou des nouvelles molécules pour le traitement pour l'hépatite C. Ceci est aussi vrai pour le prucalopride, utilisé dans le traitement de la constipation sévère.…”
