Long-term teduglutide associated with improved response in pediatric short bowel syndrome-associated intestinal failure. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr 2024. [PMID: 38873891 DOI: 10.1002/jpn3.12276] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Patients with short bowel syndrome-associated intestinal failure (SBS-IF) require long-term parenteral nutrition and/or intravenous fluids (PN/IV) to maintain fluid or nutritional balance. We report the long-term safety, efficacy, and predictors of response in pediatric patients with SBS-IF receiving teduglutide over 96 weeks. METHODS This was a pooled, post hoc analysis of two open-label, long-term extension (LTE) studies (NCT02949362 and NCT02954458) in children with SBS-IF. Endpoints included treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and clinical response (≥20% reduction in PN/IV volume from baseline). A multivariable linear regression identified predictors of teduglutide response; the dependent variable was mean change in PN/IV volume at each visit over 96 weeks. RESULTS Overall, 85 patients were analyzed; 78 patients received teduglutide in the parent and/or LTE studies (any teduglutide [TED] group), while seven patients did not receive teduglutide in either the parent or LTE studies. Most TEAEs were moderate or severe in intensity in both groups. By week 96, 82.1% of patients from the any TED group achieved a clinical response, with a mean fluid decrease of 30.1 mL/kg/day and an energy decrease of 21.6 kcal/kg/day. Colon-in-continuity, non-White race, older age at baseline, longer duration of teduglutide exposure, and increasing length of remaining small intestine were significantly associated with a reduction in mean PN/IV volume requirements. CONCLUSIONS In pediatric patients with SBS-IF, teduglutide treatment resulted in long-term reductions in PN/IV requirements. The degree of PN/IV volume reduction depended on the duration of teduglutide exposure, underlying bowel anatomy, and demographics.

Abstract
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a rare gastrointestinal disorder associated with intestinal failure (SBS-IF) and poor health-related outcomes. Patients with SBS-IF are unable to absorb sufficient nutrients or fluids to maintain significantly metabolic homeostasis via oral or enteral intake alone and require long-term intravenous supplementation (IVS), consisting of partial or total parenteral nutrition, fluids, electrolytes, or a combination of these. The goal of medical and surgical treatment for patients with SBS-IF is to maximize intestinal remnant absorptive capacity so that the need for IVS support may eventually be reduced or eliminated. Daily subcutaneous administration of the glucagon-like peptide 2 analog, teduglutide, has been shown to be clinically effective in reducing IVS dependence and potentially improving the health-related quality of life of patients with SBS-IF. The management of patients with SBS-IF is complex and requires close monitoring. This narrative review discusses the use of teduglutide for patients with SBS-IF in clinical practice. The screening of patient eligibility for teduglutide treatment, initiation, monitoring of efficacy and safety of treatment, adapting or weaning off IVS, and the healthcare setting needed for SBS-IF management are described, taking into consideration data from clinical trials, observational studies, and clinical experience.

Supplemented Very Low Protein Diet (sVLPD) in Patients with Advanced Chronic Renal Failure: Clinical and Economic Benefits. Nutrients 2023; 15:3568. [PMID: 37630758 PMCID: PMC10457928 DOI: 10.3390/nu15163568] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2023] [Revised: 08/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/11/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
The supplemented very low-protein diet (sVLPD) has proven effective in slowing the progression of stage 5 chronic renal failure and postponing the start of the dialysis treatment. However, sVLPD could expose the patient to the risk of malnutrition. This diet is also difficult to implement due to the required intake of large number of keto-analogue/amino acid tablets. In our Center, the Department of Nephrology and Dialysis of Azienda Sanitaria Territoriale n 1, Pesaro-Urbino, of Italy, respecting the guidelines of normal clinical practice, we prescribed sVLPD (0.3 g/prot/day) supplemented with only essential amino acids without the use of ketoanalogues in stage 5 patients and verified its efficacy, safety and clinical and economic effects. Over the 24 months period of observation the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) slowed down (mean eGFR 11.6 ± 3.3 vs. 9.3 ± 2.7 mL/min/1.73 m2, p < 0.001) and the start of the dialysis treatment (adjusted HR = 0.361, CI 0.200-0.650, p = 0.001) was delayed without evidence of malnutrition, in compliant vs. non-compliant patients. This led to a substantial cost reduction for the National Health System. This non-interventional longitudinal observational study is part of standard clinical practice and suggests that VLPD supplemented with essential amino acids could be extensively used to reduce the incidence of dialysis treatments, with a favorable economic impact on the NHS.

Abstract
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a rare condition defined as a reduced residual functional small intestinal length to less than 200 cm often resulting from extensive intestinal resection, and can lead to chronic intestinal failure (CIF). Patients with SBS-CIF are unable to absorb sufficient nutrients or fluids to maintain metabolic homeostasis through oral or enteral intake and require long-term parenteral nutrition and/or fluids and electrolytes. However, complications may arise from both SBS-IF and life-sustaining intravenous support, such as intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD), chronic renal failure, metabolic bone disease and catheter-related complications. An interdisciplinary approach is required to optimize intestinal adaptation and decrease complications. In the last two decades, glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2) analogs have sparked pharmacological interest as a potential disease-modifying therapy for SBS-IF. Teduglutide (TED) is the first developed and marketed GLP-2 analog for SBS-IF. It is approved in the United States, Europe, and Japan for use in adults and children with SBS-IF who are intravenous supplementation dependent. This article discusses the indications, candidacy criteria and results of the use of TED in patients with SBS.

Abstract
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is the most common cause of chronic intestinal failure, requiring home parenteral support (intravenous fluid, parenteral nutrition, or parenteral nutrition with intravenous fluid) to compensate for severe malabsorption. The loss of mucosal absorptive area after extensive intestinal resection is accompanied by an accelerated transit and hypersecretion. Changes in physiology and clinical outcomes differ between patients with SBS with or without the distal ileum and/or colon-in-continuity. This narrative review summarizes the treatments used in SBS, with a focus on novel approaches with intestinotrophic agents. During the early postoperative years, spontaneous adaptation occurs and can be induced or accelerated with conventional therapies, which include dietary and fluid modifications and antidiarrheal and antisecretory drugs. Based on the proadaptive role of enterohormones (eg, glucagon-like peptide [GLP]-2), analogues have been developed to allow enhanced or hyperadaptation after a period of stabilization. Teduglutide is the first GLP-2 analogue developed and commercialized with proadaptive effects resulting in reduced parenteral support needs; however, the potential for weaning of parenteral support is variable. Whether early treatment with enterohormones or accelerated hyperadaptation would further improve absorption and outcomes remains to be shown. Longer-acting GLP-2 analogues are currently being investigated. Encouraging reports with GLP-1 agonists require confirmation in randomized trials, and dual GLP-1 and GLP-2 analogues have yet to be clinically investigated. Future studies will prove whether the timing and/or combinations of different enterohormones will be able to break the ceiling of intestinal rehabilitation in SBS.

Abstract
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a rare gastrointestinal condition that is defined as having less than 200 cm of remaining small intestine. SBS results from extensive surgical resection and is associated with a high risk for intestinal failure (IF) with a need for parenteral support (PS). Depending on the region of intestinal resection, three different main anatomy types can be distinguished from each other. In this review, we synthesize the current knowledge on the role of the colon in the setting of SBS-IF with a colon-in-continuity (SBS-IF-CiC), e.g., by enhancing the degree of intestinal adaptation, energy salvage, and the role of the microbiota. In addition, the effect of the disease-modifying treatment with glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) analogs in SBS-IF-CiC and how it differs from patients without a colon will be discussed. Overall, the findings explained in this review highlight the importance of preservation of the colon in SBS-IF.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The glucagon-like peptide-2 analog Teduglutide has been shown to enhance intestinal absorption and decrease parenteral nutrition (PN) requirements in short bowel syndrome (SBS). As data in children is limited, we evaluated nationwide real-life experience and treatment outcome in children with SBS. METHODS Longitudinal data of children treated with Teduglutide for ≥3 months was collected. Data included demographic and medical background, anthropometrics, laboratory assessments and PN requirements. Treatment response was defined as >20% reduction in PN requirement. RESULTS The study included 13 patients [54% males, median (interquartile range {IQR}) age of 6 (4.7-7) years]. The most common SBS etiology was necrotizing enterocolitis (38%), and median (IQR) small bowel length was 20 (15-40) cm. Teduglutide treatment ranged between 3 and 51 months [median (IQR) of 18 (12-30) months], with 10 patients (77%) treated >1 year. Response to treatment was observed in 8 patients (62%), with a mean [±standard deviation (SD)] treatment duration of 5.9 (±3.2) months. Among responders, 2 patients were weaned off PN and additional 4 decreased PN needs by >40%. There was a median (IQR) reduction in PN volume/kg of 36% (15%-55%) and in PN energy/kg of 27% (6%-58%). Response was not associated with patients' background, and no correlation was found with bowel length or PN dependency at baseline. CONCLUSIONS Real-life response to Teduglutide is highly variable among children with SBS. While most patients did reach 20% reduction in PN, less achieved further significant reduction or enteral autonomy. No predictive factors of response to treatment were identified, and large multicenter studies are needed to elucidate predictive factors and long-term outcome.

Abstract
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is the main cause of chronic intestinal failure (IF), defined as 'the reduction of gut function below the minimum necessary for the absorption of macronutrients and/or water and electrolytes, such that intravenous supplementation is required to maintain health and/or growth'. SBS is a rare disease requiring a multidisciplinary approach in specialized IF units. The aim of this review was to discuss the current pharmacological management of SBS-associated IF, since emerging treatments are currently modifying the natural evolution of these patients. Enterohormone therapy has become the first-choice treatment and may decrease the need for parenteral support and improve patients' quality of life.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Short bowel syndrome (SBS) patients are at risk to develop intestinal failure when the decreased absorption of macronutrients, water, and electrolytes necessitates parenteral support for survival. The adverse effects of SBS and parenteral support negatively affect the quality of life (QoL) of SBS-intestinal failure patients. However, spontaneous intestinal adaptation along with disease-modifying therapies allow reducing parenteral support, thereby improving QoL. RECENT FINDINGS During the first years following extensive surgery, spontaneous structural and functional intestinal changes take place which stimulate a more efficient nutrient and fluid absorption in the remaining bowel. Given their potential role in the ileal braking mechanism, enterohormones, such as glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-2, GLP-1, and peptide YY (PYY), promote an accelerated adaptation or hyperadaptation. While the exact role of GLP-1 and PYY in SBS is still being explored, GLP-2 analogs have clearly shown to be effective in improving outcome in SBS. SUMMARY Whereas spontaneous intestinal adaptation improves the nutritional status of SBS patients to a certain extent, GLP-2 analogs can further decrease parenteral support needs through hyperadaptation. There are, however, other promising candidates on the horizon that - alone or in combination - could possibly establish additional disease-modifying effects.

Abstract
Teduglutide has been described as an effective treatment for parenteral support (PS) reduction in patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS). However, a quantitative summary of the available evidence is still lacking. PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane library, OVID, and CINAHL databases were systematically searched up to July 2021 for studies reporting the rate of response (defined as a ≥20% reduction in PS) to teduglutide among PS-dependent adult patients. The rate of weaning (defined as the achievement of PS independence) was also evaluated as a secondary end-point. Ten studies were finally considered in the meta-analysis. Pooled data show a response rate of 64% at 6 months, 77% at 1 year and, 82% at ≥2 years; on the other hand, the weaning rate could be estimated as 11% at 6 months, 17% at 1 year, and 21% at ≥2 years. The presence of colon in continuity reduced the response rate (-17%, 95%CI: (-31%, -3%)), but was associated with a higher weaning rate (+16%, 95%CI: (+6%, +25%)). SBS etiology, on the contrary, was not found to be a significant predictor of these outcomes, although a nonsignificant trend towards both higher response rates (+9%, 95%CI: (-8%, +27%)) and higher weaning rates (+7%, 95%CI: (-14%, +28%)) could be observed in patients with Crohn's disease. This was the first meta-analysis that specifically assessed the efficacy of teduglutide in adult patients with SBS. Our results provide pooled estimates of response and weaning rates over time and identify intestinal anatomy as a significant predictor of these outcomes.
