Research Excerpts

Overview

Methylnaltrexone is a peripheral opioid antagonist that does not cross the blood-brain barrier. It can reverse the peripheral side effects of opioids without affecting the desired central properties.

Effects

Methylnaltrexone has a positive impact on symptoms in women with NBS. Treatment does induce transient pain following its administration.

Methylnaltrexone has been shown to be effective for treating opioid-induced constipation (OIC) in chronic settings, but its effects on acute OIC have not been studied. The intravenous and oral forms remain under investigation.

Time to Discharge Eligibility

Time to discharge eligibility was measured from the end of surgery (defined as the time when the last skin suture or staple was placed in the participant). Discharge eligibility was defined as both tolerance of solid food and at least one bowel movement. Participants were considered to have tolerated solid food when they have eaten greater than or equal to (≥) 50 percent (%), of the first of two successive solid food meals (based on the judgement of the investigator or designee), without vomiting or nausea. Participants readmitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of POI within 7 days of discharge were considered treatment failures. Analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier estimate. (NCT00401375)

Time to First Bowel Movement

Time to first bowel movement was measured from the end of surgery (defined as the time when the last skin suture or staple was placed in the participant). Time of the first bowel movement was recorded on the electronic case report form (eCRF). The first bowel movement was defined as a normal stool for a postoperative participant based on the clinical judgment of the investigator or designee. Analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier estimate. Participants who had a bowel movement but were readmitted to the hospital within 1 week after discharge with a diagnosis of postoperative ileus (POI) were considered censored at the time of the first bowel movement as if the bowel movement had not occurred.

Change From Baseline in Weekly Number of Quality Rescue-free Bowel Movements (RFBM)

RFBM defined as bowel movement with no laxatives during the prior 24 hours. Information on laxative use, bowel movements and assessments were reported daily by patient. Weekly number of quality RFBM was the total number of quality RFBM reported in study period divided by number of days with information and multiplied by 7 for a normalized weekly number. Stool quality assessed with the Bristol Stool Form Scale (7-points) (1=difficult to pass, 7=entirely liquid). A quality RFBM defined as one other than diarrhea (Bristol Type 1-5). (NCT00529087)

A rescue-free bowel movement was defined as a bowel movement where no laxatives were used during the prior 24 hours. Information on laxative use, bowel movements and bowel movement assessments were self reported daily by the patient using a telephone interactive voice response system (IVRS). (NCT00529087)

Change From Baseline in Weekly Bowel Movement (BM) Rate Through Follow-up

Weekly BM rate was derived as the total number of BMs reported in a month divided by the total number of days with non-missing BM diary information in the same month, then multiplied by 7 to normalize to a weekly rate. If the total number of days with non-missing BM diary information in a given month was less than 10 days, the weekly BM rate for the month was defined as missing. The weekly BM rate at baseline was calculated based on the screening period (Days -14 to -1). If the total number of days with non-missing BM diary information during the screening period was less than 5 days, the weekly BM rate at baseline was defined as missing. (NCT00804141)

The Proportion of Subjects Having a Rescue-free Bowel Movement (RFBM) Within 4 Hours After the First Injection.

There were 2 co-primary endpoints for this study. This measurement is the first of the 2 co-primary endpoints. This endpoint measures the percentage of patients who had an RFBM within 4 hours after the first dose of test article during the double-blind period; data are expressed as percentages of patients for the MNTX and placebo groups. To qualify as rescue free, the bowel movement could not occur within 6 hours after a rectal intervention (ie, rectal suppository, enema, manual disimpaction). Note that efficacy results (primary and secondary outcomes) are presented for the double-blind period only. Therefore, no efficacy results are presented for the open-label period. (NCT00936884)

Patients were evaluated 1 hour before and 2 hours after the administration of each dose of study medication using the Clinical Opioid Withdrawal Scale (COWS). COWS is used to help determine the stage or severity of opiate withdrawal and assess the level of physical dependence on opioids. The COWS score ranges from 0-36+. A score of 0 is no active opioid withdrawal. A score of 5-12 is mild; 13-24 is moderate; 25-36 is moderately severe and more than 36 is severe opioid withdrawal. (NCT02977286)
