D-Alpha-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (Tocofersolan, Vedrop), has been developed in Europe to provide an orally bioavailable source of vitamin E in children with cholestasis. The aim was to analyze the safety/efficacy of Vedrop in a large group of children with chronic cholestasis.
Two hundred seventy-four children receiving Vedrop for vitamin E deficiency or for its prophylaxis were included from 7 European centers. Median age at treatment onset was 2 months and median follow-up was 11 months. Vedrop was prescribed at a daily dose of 0.34 mL/kg (25 IU/kg) of body weight. Three methods were used to determine a sufficient serum vitamin E status: vitamin E, vitamin E/(total cholesterol), vitamin E/(total cholesterol + triglycerides).
Before Vedrop therapy, 51% of children had proven vitamin E deficiency, 30% had normal vitamin E status and 19% had an unknown vitamin E status. During the first months of treatment, vitamin E status was restored in the majority of children with insufficient levels at baseline (89% had a normal status at 6 months). All children with a normal baseline vitamin E status had a normal vitamin E status at 6 months. Among children with an unknown vitamin E status at baseline, 93% had a normal vitamin E status at 6 months. A sufficient vitamin E status was observed in 80% of children with significant cholestasis (serum total bilirubin >34.2 μmol/L). No serious adverse reaction was reported.
Vedrop seems a safe and effective oral formulation of vitamin E that restores and/or maintains sufficient serum vitamin E level in the majority of children with cholestasis, avoiding the need for intramuscular vitamin E injections.
聚乙二醇1000琥珀酸酯维生素E(生育酚聚乙二醇1000琥珀酸酯,Vedrop)已在欧洲研发出来,用于为胆汁淤积症儿童提供口服生物可利用的维生素E来源。目的是分析Vedrop在一大群慢性胆汁淤积症儿童中的安全性/有效性。
从7个欧洲中心纳入了274名因维生素E缺乏或用于预防而接受Vedrop治疗的儿童。治疗开始时的中位年龄为2个月,中位随访时间为11个月。Vedrop的处方剂量为每日0.34 mL/kg(25 IU/kg)体重。使用三种方法来确定足够的血清维生素E状态:维生素E、维生素E/(总胆固醇)、维生素E/(总胆固醇+甘油三酯)。
在Vedrop治疗前,51%的儿童已证实维生素E缺乏,30%的儿童维生素E状态正常,19%的儿童维生素E状态未知。在治疗的头几个月,大多数基线水平不足的儿童的维生素E状态得到恢复(89%在6个月时状态正常)。所有基线维生素E状态正常的儿童在6个月时维生素E状态均正常。在基线时维生素E状态未知的儿童中,93%在6个月时维生素E状态正常。在80%的严重胆汁淤积症儿童(血清总胆红素>34.2 μmol/L)中观察到足够的维生素E状态。未报告严重不良反应。
Vedrop似乎是一种安全有效的维生素E口服制剂,可在大多数胆汁淤积症儿童中恢复和/或维持足够的血清维生素E水平,避免了肌肉注射维生素E的需要。
