Anal fistulas are common in individuals with Crohn's disease (CD). We sought to evaluate the efficacy of oral spherical adsorptive carbon (AST-120) (Kremezin; Kureha Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) for the treatment of intractable anal fistulas in patients with CD.
In this multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, patients with CD and at least one active anal fistula under treatment were assigned to receive either AST-120 or placebo for 8 wk. Improvement was defined as a reduction of 50% or more from baseline in the number of draining fistulas observed at both 4 and 8 wk. Remission was defined by closure of all draining fistulas at both 4 and 8 wk. The Perianal Disease Activity Index (PDAI) and Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) were also assessed.
In total, 62 patients were randomized, of whom 57 received AST-120 (N = 27) or placebo (N = 30). The improvement rate in the AST-120 group (37.0%) was significantly greater than that in the placebo group (10.0%) (P= 0.025). The corresponding remission rates were 29.6% and 6.7%, respectively (P= 0.035). PDAI significantly improved at both 4 and 8 wk with AST-120, compared to placebo (P= 0.004 and P= 0.005, respectively). CDAI was also significantly improved at both 4 and 8 wk in the AST-120 group, compared to the placebo group (P= 0.007 and P= 0.001, respectively). AST-120 treatment was well tolerated and no life-threatening adverse events were observed.
AST-120 is useful for the control of intractable anal fistulas in CD patients.
肛瘘在克罗恩病(CD)患者中很常见。我们旨在评估口服球形吸附碳(AST - 120)(可利美特;日本东京久光制药株式会社)对CD患者顽固性肛瘘的治疗效果。
在这项多中心、随机、双盲、安慰剂对照试验中,患有CD且至少有一个正在接受治疗的活动性肛瘘患者被分配接受AST - 120或安慰剂治疗8周。改善定义为在第4周和第8周观察到的引流瘘管数量较基线减少50%或更多。缓解定义为在第4周和第8周所有引流瘘管均闭合。还评估了肛周疾病活动指数(PDAI)和克罗恩病活动指数(CDAI)。
总共62例患者被随机分组,其中57例接受了AST - 120(n = 27)或安慰剂(n = 30)。AST - 120组的改善率(37.0%)显著高于安慰剂组(10.0%)(P = 0.025)。相应的缓解率分别为29.6%和6.7%(P = 0.035)。与安慰剂相比,AST - 120在第4周和第8周时PDAI均显著改善(分别为P = 0.004和P = 0.005)。与安慰剂组相比,AST - 120组在第4周和第8周时CDAI也均显著改善(分别为P = 0.007和P = 0.001)。AST - 120治疗耐受性良好,未观察到危及生命的不良事件。
AST - 120对控制CD患者的顽固性肛瘘有效。
