OBJECTIVE: High rectal sensory thresholds (RSTs) are associated with chronic constipation (CC), especially in older patients. Bile acids (BAs) affect the RSTs of healthy individuals. Here, we aimed to investigate the effects of the BA transporter inhibitor elobixibat in patients with CC aged ≥60 years.
DESIGN: We prospectively compared the RSTs of 17 patients with CC aged ≥60 years with those of 9 healthy individuals of the same age range. We next performed a prospective, randomised, parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of 17 patients with CC who administered elobixibat or placebo daily for 1 week. Using barostat methodology, their first constant sensation volume (FCSV), defaecatory desire volume (DDV), and maximum tolerable volume (MTV) thresholds; their rectal compliance; and their faecal BA concentrations were measured before and after treatment.
RESULTS: There were no significant differences in the RSTs of healthy individuals and patients with CC, but all of these tended to be higher in the latter group. Elobixibat increased the desire to defaecate, significantly reduced the threshold for FCSV (p=0.0018), and tended to reduce the threshold for DDV (p=0.0899) versus placebo. However, there were no differences in the MTV or rectal compliance of the two groups. The total faecal BA concentration increased, and particularly that of secondary BAs in the elobixibat group. Elobixibat was most efficacious in participants with a longer duration of CC and a history of treatment for CC.
CONCLUSION: Elobixibat reduces the RSTs of patients with CC aged ≥60 years, which may be important for its therapeutic effects.
TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: jRCTs061200030.
