Mokhtari F, Taghavi M, Mashayekh M. An Efficient Combination Therapy with Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate and Topiramate in Improving Binge Eating Scale & Metabolic Profile in Binge Eating Disorder: A Randomized Control Trial. CLINICAL PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY AND NEUROSCIENCE : THE OFFICIAL SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL OF THE KOREAN COLLEGE OF NEUROPSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 22:493-501. [PMID: 39069689 PMCID: PMC11289599 DOI: 10.9758/cpn.23.1151] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2023] [Revised: 04/04/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
Objective Comprehensive evaluation of lisedexamfetamine dimesylate (LDX) alone and in combination with topiramate (TPM) was done for treatment of binge eating disorder (BED) in adults aged 18-55 years. Methods In the present randomized clinical trial study, 93 patients were selected by convenience sampling method and were allocated to two groups of 48 and 45 using the permuted block randomization method. This study was conducted from January to September 2022 in Shiraz, Iran. Patients received LDX (n = 48) or LDX plus TPM. Average dose of LDX was 37.5 mg/day and 38 mg/day in the first and second group respectively. The second group (n = 45) also received TPM with average dose of 77.7 mg/day. Results Twelve weeks treatment caused significant higher mean reduction in level of triglyceride (73.68 vs. 58.97 respectively, p = 0.024), low density lipo-protein (LDL) (9.66 vs. 5.16 respectively, p < 0.001) and body mass index (5.48 vs. 3.41 respectively, p < 0.001) with TPM plus LDX and also greater significant improvement (p < 0.001) in binge eating scale compared to use of LDX alone. Combination therapy with TPM and LDX had better tolerability and lower adverse events such as insomnia (p < 0.001), paresthesia (p = 0.001), confusion (p = 0.035) and ataxia (p = 0.009) compared to monotherapy in BED. Conclusion The combinative treatment was more effective than single drug in terms of higher tolerability, safety and causing lesser adverse events for BED patients. However, more studies with larger samples are needed.

World Federation of Societies of Biological Psychiatry (WFSBP) guidelines update 2023 on the pharmacological treatment of eating disorders. World J Biol Psychiatry 2023:1-64. [PMID: 37350265 DOI: 10.1080/15622975.2023.2179663] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 20.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2023] [Accepted: 02/08/2023] [Indexed: 06/24/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This 2023 update of the WFSBP guidelines for the pharmacological treatment of eating disorders (EDs) reflects the latest diagnostic and psychopharmacological progress and the improved WFSBP recommendations for the assessment of the level of evidence (LoE) and the grade of recommendation (GoR). METHODS The WFSBP Task Force EDs reviewed the relevant literature and provided a timely grading of the LoE and the GoR. RESULTS In anorexia nervosa (AN), only a limited recommendation (LoE: A; GoR: 2) for olanzapine can be given, because the available evidence is restricted to weight gain, and its effect on psychopathology is less clear. In bulimia nervosa (BN), the current literature prompts a recommendation for fluoxetine (LoE: A; GoR: 1) or topiramate (LoE: A; GoR: 1). In binge-eating disorder (BED), lisdexamfetamine (LDX; LoE: A; GoR: 1) or topiramate (LoE: A; GoR: 1) can be recommended. There is only sparse evidence for the drug treatment of avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), pica, and rumination disorder (RD). CONCLUSION In BN, fluoxetine, and topiramate, and in BED, LDX and topiramate can be recommended. Despite the published evidence, olanzapine and topiramate have not received marketing authorisation for use in EDs from any medicine regulatory agency.

Clin Transl Sci 2022; 15:2878-2887.

Abstract
Randomized, placebo-controlled trials for binge eating disorder (BED) have revealed highly variable, and often marked, rates of short-term placebo response. Several quantitative based analyses in patients with BED have inconsistently demonstrated which patient factors attribute to an increase in placebo response. The objective of this study is to utilize machine learning (ML) algorithms to identify moderators of placebo response in patients with BED. Data were pooled from 12 randomized placebo-controlled trials evaluating different treatment options for BED. The final dataset consisted of 189 adults receiving placebo with complete information of baseline variables. Placebo responders were defined as patients experiencing ≥75% reduction in binge eating frequency (BEF) at study end point. Nine patient prerandomization variables were included as predictors. Patients were divided into training and testing subsets according to an 75%:25% distribution while preserving the proportion of placebo responders. All analysis was performed in the software Pumas 2.0. Gaussian Naïve Bayes algorithm showed the best cross-validation accuracy (~64%) and was chosen as the final algorithm. Shapley analysis suggested that patients with low baseline BEF and anxiety status were strong moderators of placebo response. Upon applying the final algorithm on the test dataset, the resulting sensitivity was 88% and prediction accuracy was 72%. This is the first application of ML to identify moderators of placebo response in BED. The results of this analysis confirm previous findings of lesser baseline disease severity and adds that patients with no anxiety are more susceptible to placebo response.

Abstract
Introduction: Binge eating disorder (BED) is the most common eating disorder and is frequently associated with psychiatric and medical comorbidities and functional impairment. Although psychological treatments have been the cornerstones of BED treatment, pharmacologic interventions also play an important part of the multimodal management of this condition.Areas covered: This review examines investigational, approved and other pharmacological agents for the treatment of BED. We searched PubMed and clinicaltrials.gov to identify pharmacological interventions for the management of this condition.Expert opinion: BED pharmacological studies have incorporated new drug targets based on our enhanced understanding of the pathophysiology of BED. Neurobiological dysregulation in the reward center and impulse control circuitry and related disturbances in dopamine neurotransmission are among the neurobiological explanations that have been suggested for BED. These mechanisms serve as a pharmacodynamic foundation for the development of new compounds such as lisdexamfetamine (LDX) and dasotraline. Despite these advances, pharmacological trials in BED have numerous challenges that must be overcome. For most compounds studied, larger and more definitive trials is a high priority.

Abstract
Obesity is a complex disease influenced by many neurohormonal pathways which regulate body weight toward homeostasis. Presently, the disease of obesity effects over a billion individuals worldwide with scalable treatment options in dire need. Pharmacologic interventions for obesity have been developed to help promote weight loss in individuals with obesity. This area is rapidly developing and will only exponentially increase to serve the demand for persons with obesity seeking biologically orientated solutions to treat their disease. Therefore, understanding the cardiovascular risks and benefits of these weight loss medications is of particularly importance due to obesities strong association with cardiovascular (CV) disease risk. Moreover, past experiences with pharmacotherapy agents with weight loss properties have demonstrated an association with adverse CV outcomes, leading to market removal, in most cases and concerns over using similar medications. To better understand the CV risks and benefits pharmacotherapy agents used for weight loss, this review will discuss medications which are FDA-approved for weight loss, as well as medications commonly used off-label for this indication. The goal is to provide an overview of the risks and benefits many of these medications can offer to help guide clinical decision making and patient education.
