DR. ARIN NEWMAN AND HIS TITLE/LOCATION APPEARS


ARIN H. NEWMAN, MD

Gastroenterologist

MIAMI, FLORIDA


DR. NEWMAN: There are different degrees of IBS-D, from mild to moderate to severe. In my practice the majority of patients are not severe.

Many patients have already tried changes in dietary habits and over-the-counter therapies, and in some cases their symptoms still persist.

VIBERZI Pivotal Trials Study Design


Data from two randomized, parallel-group, multicenter, multinational, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 clinical trials in IBS-D adult patients aged 18-80 years. A responder was defined as a patient with ≥30% reduction in daily abdominal pain AND improvement in daily stool consistency to <5 on the Bristol StoolScale. Improvement in abdominal pain in the absence of a bowel movement was also considered a response day. Responders saw simultaneous improvement of BOTH symptoms on at least 50% of days in the trial.


IBS-3002 (N=1145) measured VIBERZI 100 mg (recommended dose)(n=382) vs placebo (n=382). Primary endpoint: Weeks 1-12: Trt Diff13%, 95% CI (8%, 19%); P< 0.001. Secondary endpoint: Weeks 1-26: Trt Diff 13%, 95% CI (6%, 19%). IBS-3001 (N=1281) measured VIBERZI 100 mg (recommended dose) (n=426) vs placebo (n=427). Primary endpoint: Weeks 1-12: Trt Diff 8%, 95% CI (3%,14%); P< 0.01. Secondary endpoint: Weeks 1-26: Trt Diff 10%, 95%CI (5%, 16%).


DR. NEWMAN:VIBERZI is a therapy that targets the two main symptoms of IBS-D: diarrhea and abdominal pain. Adult patients with IBS-D were studied in the Phase 3 trials.

Patients enrolled were included if they had a mean worst abdominal pain score of greater than 3.0 (on a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 indicating no pain. and 10 the worst imaginable pain), and an average stool consistency score of 5.5 or more on the Bristol Stool Form Scale (which ranges from 1 to 7, with 1 indicating hard stool and 7 indicating watery diarrhea).

DR. NEWMAN: VIBERZI showed statistically significant improvement in those symptoms, and provided lasting relief.

Relief of both symptoms was maintained throughout treatment; the proportion of patients who were combined responders to VIBERZI at each 4-week interval was numerically higher than placebo as early as month 1 through month 6.

DR. NEWMAN: So VIBERZI has been proven to be safe and effective across a range of IBS-D severity.

VIBERZI RELIEF Study Design

Data from a double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled, prospective, multicenter, multinational phase 4 study of IBS-D in adult patients aged 18 to 80 years with an intact gall bladder (N=346). Patients in the RELIEF trial were excluded if they had a cholecystectomy.


In the RELIEF trial, a responder was defined as a patient with ≥40% reduction in daily abdominal pain and improvement in daily stool consistency to <5 on the Bristol StoolScale on at least 50% of days in the trial.


Those who reported improvement in abdominal pain in the absence of a bowel movement were also considered responders.


DR. NEWMAN: Now as I’ve mentioned, many patients will have already taken loperamide even before they come to see you.

The VIBERZI Relief trial studied patients who had taken loperamide and reported inadequate symptom control.

Dr. Newman


DR. NEWMAN: There are certain populations where additional discussion should take place prior to starting therapy. But, in appropriate adult patients, across a range of IBS-D severity, VIBERZI may be an effective therapy. Thank you.

INDICATIONS AND USAGE

VIBERZI® (eluxadoline), schedule four, is indicated in adults for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D).


IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION


CONTRAINDICATIONS

VIBERZI is contraindicated in patients:

  • Without a gallbladder.
  • With known or suspected biliary duct obstruction, or sphincter of Oddi disease or dysfunction; a history of pancreatitis; or structural diseases of the pancreas.
  • With alcoholism, alcohol abuse, alcohol addiction, or who drink more than 3 alcoholic beverages per day.
  • With a known hypersensitivity reaction to VIBERZI.
  • With severe hepatic impairment.
  • With a history of chronic or severe constipation or sequelae from constipation, or known or suspected mechanical gastrointestinal obstruction.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Pancreatitis

  • Pancreatitis, with or without sphincter of Oddi spasm, has been reported in patients taking either the 75 mg or 100 mg dosage of VIBERZI, including serious cases resulting in hospitalization, primarily in patients without a gallbladder. Fatal cases have also been reported in patients without a gallbladder. VIBERZI is contraindicated in patients without a gallbladder. Most of the reported cases of serious pancreatitis occurred within a week of starting treatment with VIBERZI and some patients developed symptoms after one to two doses.
  • In patients with a gallbladder, evaluate a patient’s alcohol intake prior to starting VIBERZI. Instruct patients to avoid chronic or acute excessive alcohol use while taking VIBERZI. Monitor for new or worsening abdominal pain that may radiate to the back or shoulder, with or without nausea and vomiting. Instruct patients to immediately stop VIBERZI and seek medical attention if they experience symptoms suggestive of pancreatitis such as acute abdominal or epigastric pain radiating to the back or shoulder associated with elevations of pancreatic enzymes with or without nausea and vomiting.

Sphincter of Oddi Spasm

  • There is a risk of sphincter of Oddi spasm, resulting in pancreatitis or hepatic enzyme elevation associated with acute abdominal pain (eg, biliary-type pain) in patients taking VIBERZI. Serious adverse reactions of sphincter of Oddi spasm with or without pancreatitis resulting in hospitalization have been reported, primarily in patients without a gallbladder.Cases of serious sphincter of Oddi spasm occurred within a week of starting treatment with VIBERZI and some patients developed symptoms after one to two doses.
  • Instruct patients to immediately stop VIBERZI and seek medical attention if they experience symptoms suggestive of sphincter of Oddi spasm such as acute worsening of abdominal pain that may radiate to the back or shoulder with or without nausea and vomiting, associated with elevations of pancreatic enzymes or liver transaminases. Do not restart VIBERZI in patients who developed biliary duct obstruction while taking VIBERZI.

Hypersensitivity Reactions

  • In post marketing experience, serious hypersensitivity reactions (including anaphylaxis) have been reported following VIBERZI administration. Some of these reactions occurred after the first one or two doses of VIBERZI.
  • Instruct patients to immediately stop VIBERZI and seek medical attention if they experience symptoms suggestive of a hypersensitivity reaction.

Constipation

  • Constipation, sometimes requiring hospitalization, has been reported following VIBERZI administration. In post marketing experience, severe cases with development of intestinal obstruction, intestinal perforation, and fecal impaction, requiring intervention, have also been reported. Instruct patients to stop VIBERZI and immediately contact their healthcare provider if they experience severe constipation. Avoid use with other drugs that may cause constipation.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

The most commonly reported adverse reactions (incidence >5% and greater than placebo) were constipation, nausea, and abdominal pain.
