PG - 121-128 LID - 10.1080/17512433.2019.1570845 [doi] AB - Opioid-induced constipation (OIC) is a common adverse effect in patients under long-term opioid therapy. Naldemedine is a novel peripherally acting mu-opioid receptor antagonists being developed for the treatment of OIC without affecting central analgesia. This meta-analysis is to assess the current evidence for efficacy and safety of naldemedine for the treatment of OIC. Areas covered: We searched through MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science and Cochrane Library, 'ISRCTN Register' and'ClinicalTrials.gov' (up to Aug 2018). Our final review included five randomized clinical trials (1751 participants in total), three trials observed naldemedine for the treatment of OIC in non-cancer patients and two trials in cancer patients. A Random Effects model was used for all comparisons. Subgroup analyses for the following subgroups were carried out: naldemedine 0.1 mg; 0.2 mg; 0.4 mg; cancer patients; non-cancer patients. Expert opinion: Naldemedine improved the proportion of responders and spontaneous bowel movements frequency. The incidence of serious adverse effects (AEs) in naldemedine group was higher than placebo, especially in cancer patient subgroup. The AEs occurred in participants with naldemedine were mild to moderate and well tolerated during treatment. The results of this network meta-analysis will guide the future researchers in evaluating naldemedine for the treatment of OIC.
