Abstract
Background/Aims Prokinetic agents and neuromodulators are among the treatment options for functional dyspepsia (FD), but their comparative efficacy is unclear. We aimed to compare the efficacy of mosapride controlled-release (CR) and nortriptyline in patients with FD after 4 weeks of treatment. Methods Participants with FD were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive mosapride CR (mosapride CR 15 mg and nortriptyline placebo) or nortriptyline (mosapride CR placebo and nortriptyline 10 mg) in double-placebo, double-blinded, randomized controlled, parallel clinical study. The primary endpoint was defined as the proportion of patients with overall dyspepsia improvement after 4 weeks treatment. The secondary endpoints were changes in individual symptom scores, anxiety, depression, and quality of life. Results One hundred nine participants were recruited and assessed for eligibility, and 54 in the mosapride CR group and 50 in the nortriptyline group were included in the modified intention-to-treat protocol. The rate of overall dyspepsia improvement was similar between groups (53.7% vs 54.0%, P = 0.976). There was no difference in the efficacy of mosapride CR and nortriptyline in a subgroup analysis by FD subtype (59.3% vs 52.5% in postprandial distress syndrome, P = 0.615; 44.4% vs 40.0% in epigastric pain syndrome, P = > 0.999; 50.0% vs 59.1% in overlap, P = 0.565; respectively). Both treatments significantly improved anxiety, depression, and quality of life from baseline. Conclusion Mosapride CR and nortriptyline showed similar efficacy in patients with FD regardless of the subtype. Both treatments could be equally helpful for improving quality of life and psychological well-being while also relieving dyspepsia.

Abstract
Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a common disorder of gut-brain interaction, affecting approximately 7% of individuals in the community, with most patients managed in primary care. The last British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) guideline for the management of dyspepsia was published in 1996. In the interim, substantial advances have been made in understanding the complex pathophysiology of FD, and there has been a considerable amount of new evidence published concerning its diagnosis and classification, with the advent of the Rome IV criteria, and management. The primary aim of this guideline, commissioned by the BSG, is to review and summarise the current evidence to inform and guide clinical practice, by providing a practical framework for evidence-based diagnosis and treatment of patients. The approach to investigating the patient presenting with dyspepsia is discussed, and efficacy of drugs in FD summarised based on evidence derived from a comprehensive search of the medical literature, which was used to inform an update of a series of pairwise and network meta-analyses. Specific recommendations have been made according to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation system. These provide both the strength of the recommendations and the overall quality of evidence. Finally, in this guideline, we consider novel treatments that are in development, as well as highlighting areas of unmet need and priorities for future research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Functional dyspepsia (FD) and non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) are gastrointestinal disorders that often overlap. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study, the effects of adding acotiamide to treatment with proton pump inhibitors (PPI) were investigated in FD patients with heartburn who failed PPI treatment, corresponding to PPI-resistant NERD. METHODS The subjects included 16 FD patients with heartburn who failed PPI treatment, and they were administered acotiamide or a placebo for 28 days. After suspending medication for 28 days, the trial drug and placebo were crossed over and administered for 28 days. Before the study began and after each administration period, high-resolution impedance manometry (HRiM) was performed, and the modified frequency scale for the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (FSSG) questionnaire was administered. KEY RESULTS Postprandial fullness in the FD assessment and all modified FSSG items were significantly lower in the acotiamide group than in the placebo group. Esophagogastric junction pressure was significantly higher in the acotiamide group. The distal contractile integral (DCI) pressure and the highest DCI pressure both increased significantly in the acotiamide group. Moreover, in the acotiamide group, the frequency of abnormal primary peristalsis decreased to normal levels; complete bolus transit (CBT), an indicator of esophageal clearance, increased; and CBT time decreased. CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES Acotiamide was considered to improve upper gastrointestinal functions not only in the stomach but also in the esophagus. Adding acotiamide to PPI therapy appears to improve upper abdominal symptoms in FD patients with heartburn who failed PPI treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a highly prevalent condition which reduces patients' quality of life (QoL) and imparts a significant economic burden on the healthcare system. Acotiamide is a novel prokinetic agent useful in treatment of FD, and this study evaluated the effectiveness of acotiamide hydrochloride hydrate in management of FD over a 4-week period in a real-world setting. METHODS This study was a prospective, observational, real-world data collection of 132 patients (85 male, 47 female) over 18 years of age diagnosed with FD as per Rome III criteria and treated with acotiamide for 4 weeks at a gastroenterology unit of a medical school in India. Those receiving prokinetics and cholinergic drugs, having any structural lesion on endoscopy, with coexisting irritable bowel syndrome and having heartburn in the past 12 weeks were excluded. Primary outcome was responders based on overall treatment efficacy (OTE) recorded on a seven-point Likert scale for postprandial distress syndrome (PDS; postprandial fullness, early satiety and upper abdominal bloating), epigastric pain syndrome (EPS; upper abdominal pain and upper abdominal discomfort) and associated symptoms (nausea, vomiting and excessive belching) at the end of 2 and 4 weeks. Secondary outcomes were elimination of symptoms of PDS, QoL assessed on the Short-Form Nepean Dyspepsia Index (SFNDI) questionnaire and clinical safety after 2 and 4 weeks. RESULTS The responder rates with acotiamide at 2 and 4 weeks were 51.5% and 65.9%, respectively, for PDS. Similarly, the responder rates for EPS were 31.8% and 41.7%, respectively, at 2 weeks and 4 weeks. The responder rates for associated symptoms of nausea, vomiting and excessive belching were respectively 18.2%, 17.4% and 16.7% at 2 weeks and 18.2%, 17.4% and 18.2% at 4 weeks. Symptom elimination rates were 9.8% and 18.9% for postprandial fullness, 12.9% and 22.0% for early satiety, and 18.9% and 24.2% for abdominal bloating at 2 and 4 weeks, respectively. Significant improvement (p < 0.0001) in the SFNDI total scores from 25.91 (5.00) at 2 weeks to 23.76 (4.84) at 4 weeks were found at 4 weeks compared to 2 weeks. A total of 7 (5.30%) patients reported mild adverse events which were dizziness (4), headache (3) and nausea (1). CONCLUSION The current study demonstrates that treatment with acotiamide improves symptoms, QoL and is well tolerated in Indian patients with FD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dyspepsia is a common condition associated with gastrointestinal (GI) disease. Prokinetics are the treatment of choice for functional dyspepsia (FD). However, the role of prokinetics in FD treatment is still controversial. OBJECTIVES We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised control trials (RCTs) examining the efficacy of prokinetics in the treatment of FD. The primary outcome was overall absence of or improvement of symptoms and symptom scores at the end of treatment. We also evaluated quality of life (QoL) and adverse events as secondary outcomes. SEARCH METHODS We performed a systematic search of MEDLINE, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and CINAHL, from 1946 until September 2017. RevMan 5.3 was used to calculate pooled risk ratios (RR) of symptoms persisting or without improved QoL or adverse events, mean difference (MD) or standardised mean difference (SMD) of post-treatment symptoms scores, changes of symptom scores, and QoL, when appropriate with 95% confidence intervals (CI), using a random-effects model. Quality of evidence was evaluated using GRADE methodology. SELECTION CRITERIA We included studies that were parallel group RCTs comparing one prokinetic with either placebo or another prokinetic of the same or different class for the treatment of FD. Studies involved adults who presented with dyspepsia symptoms and who had negative or insignificant findings on endoscopy as well as no other organic and metabolic disorders. Studies only including participants with primarily reflux or heartburn symptoms were excluded. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently assessed study eligibility, study quality and performed data extraction. MAIN RESULTS From an initial 1388 citations, we identified 43 studies in 40 papers. Of those, 29 studies with 10,044 participants compared six prokinetics with placebo for the outcome of absence of symptoms or symptom improvement. There was a statistically significant effect of prokinetic treatment in reducing global symptoms of FD (RR of remaining dyspeptic = 0.81, 95% CI 0.74 to 0.89; number needed to treat for an additional beneficial outcome (NNTB) =7, very low-quality evidence) with considerable heterogeneity; I2 = 91% (P < 0.00001). After removing cisapride from the analysis, the effect of prokinetics in global symptom improvement still persisted, compared to placebo (RR 0.87, 95% CI 0.80 to 0.94), but was still based on very low-quality evidence. The result showed persistence of significant improvement in subgroups of studies at unclear or at low risk of bias (RR 0.86, 95% CI 0.80-0.92), and in subgroups by molecules of cisapride (RR 0.71, 95% CI 0.54 to 0.93; NNTB = 4), acotiamide (RR 0.94, 95% CI 0.91 to 0.98; NNTB = 20) and tegaserod(RR 0.89, 95% CI 0.82 to 0.96; NNTB = 14).Ten studies compared different types of prokinetics with each other and the most commonly used comparator was domperidone, 10 mg three times a day (eight of the 10 studies). There was a significantly better post-treatment symptom score in other prokinetics, compared to domperidone (SMD -0.19, 95% CI -0.35 to -0.03, very low-quality evidence), but no difference in reducing global symptom (RR 0.94, 95% CI 0.83 to 1.07), and mean difference symptom scores (SMD -0.13, 95% CI -0.31 to 0.05). We found five studies that assessed quality of life, but there was no benefit in improving quality of life with prokinetic treatment (SMD 0.11, 95% CI -0.10 to 0.33; participants = 1774). The adverse events in individual prokinetics was not different from placebo (RR 1.09, 95% CI 0.95 to 1.25; participants = 3811; studies = 17). However, when we looked at the adverse effects by each prokinetic, there were overall greater adverse effects in the active treatment group with cisapride (RR 1.31, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.65; P = 0.03). The most common side effects were diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort and nausea. The funnel plot was asymmetric (Egger's test, P = 0.02) implying reporting bias or other small-study effects may be, in part, driving the benefit of prokinetics compared to placebo in this meta-analysis. The GRADE assessment of the quality of the evidence in each outcome are mostly low or very low due to concerns around risk of bias in study design, unexplained heterogeneity and possible publication bias. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Due to low, or very low, quality of evidence, we are unable to say whether prokinetics are effective for the treatment of functional dyspepsia . We are uncertain which of the individual prokinetic drugs is the most effective as well as whether prokinetics can improve quality of life. Apart from cisapride, prokinetics are well-tolerated. Good quality RCTs are needed to verify the efficacy of prokinetics.

Abstract
Patients with functional dyspepsia, defined in the 2016 Rome IV criteria as bothersome clinical dyspepsia symptoms, experience markedly reduced quality of life. Several etiologies have been associated with the disorder. In the Rome IV criteria, the brain-gut axis was acknowledged as an important factor in the etiology of functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. The distinct subgroups of functional dyspepsia, epigastric pain syndrome (EPS) and postprandial distress syndrome (PDS), are treated differently: acid secretion inhibitors are recommended with patients with EPS, whereas prokinetic drugs as mosapride and acotiamide are recommended for patients with PDS. A previous study has reported that proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and H2-blockers were equally effective in functional dyspepsia. A new drug, acotiamide, a muscarinic antagonist and cholinesterase inhibitor, has been shown to improve gastric motility in rodents and dogs, and to reduce PDS symptoms in patients in double-blind multicenter studies. The pharmacological mechanisms of acotiamide remain unknown; whether acotiamide alters gastric emptying and gastric accommodation in patients with functional dyspepsia remains an open question. Other emerging treatment options include Rikkunshito, a herbal medicine that improves gastric emptying through 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)2B-mediated pharmacological action, and tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs). Different drugs are needed to accommodate the clinical symptoms and etiology in individual patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Acotiamide, a prokinetic drug, is used to treat functional dyspepsia (FD), especially postprandial distress syndrome (PDS). However, a treatment for FD patients with PDS and/or epigastric pain syndrome (EPS) has not been established. We investigated the efficacy of famotidine in combination with acotiamide for FD. METHODS Fifty blindly randomized FD patients received placebo with acotiamide, or famotidine with acotiamide, for 4 weeks. Treatment efficacy was assessed by overall treatment effects (OTE), total, PDS and EPS symptom scores, and impairment of quality of life (QOL). RESULTS After OTE assessment, patients who felt affected by treatment comprised 40.9 and 57.9% of famotidine and placebo groups, respectively, after 4 weeks' treatment, with no significant difference between groups. A significant decrease was seen in total, PDS, and EPS symptom scores, and in QOL impairment, after 4 weeks' treatment compared with pretreatment scores for famotidine and placebo groups, but was not observed between groups. The proportion of patients showing a ≥50% decrease in EPS symptom scores was greater in the famotidine than that in the placebo group for every observation point, with the greatest difference observed after 2 weeks' treatment. CONCLUSION The effectiveness of famotidine and acotiamide combination therapy in FD was similar to the effectiveness of acotiamide therapy alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acotiamide hydrochloride (Z-338) is a new therapeutic agent for functional dyspepsia (FD). In 2013, the use of acotiamide was approved by the Japanese health insurance system. PURPOSE The aim of this review is to summarize the present staus of basic and clinical approach to acotiamide for the treatment of functional dyspepsia. The agent inhibits acetylcholinesterase in vitro and enhances muscle motility ex vivo. In phase-II studies, 100 mg three times daily (t.i.d.) was determined to be the optimal dose for the treatment of FD. In phase-III studies, overall treatment efficacy (OTE) was significantly better in the acotiamide group (52.2%) than in the placebo group (34.8%). However, the mechanism of its efficacy needs to be further elucidated. Acotiamide effectively improved FD symptoms, particularly postprandial distress syndrome symptoms, without causing major adverse effects.

Abstract
Efficacy of acotiamide for improving symptoms in patients with functional dyspepsia was shown by several clinical trials. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group comparative Phase III trial conducted in Japan, 100 mg of acotiamide three times a day for 4 weeks was more effective than a placebo for improving symptoms, and quality of life. Acotiamide was well-tolerated treatment, with no significant adverse events. The aim of this review was to summarize the current evidence of the efficacy of acotiamide in the treatment of patients with functional dyspepsia.

Efficacy of DA-9701 (Motilitone) in Functional Dyspepsia Compared to Pantoprazole: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Non-inferiority Study. J Neurogastroenterol Motil 2016; 22:254-63. [PMID: 26811504 PMCID: PMC4819864 DOI: 10.5056/jnm15178] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2015] [Revised: 12/28/2015] [Accepted: 01/17/2016] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Background/Aims The effect of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) in Asian functional dyspepsia (FD) patients has not been well established as in Western countries. DA-9701, a novel prokinetic agent, stimulates gastric emptying and modulates visceral hypersensitivity in vivo and in human studies. This study was conducted to compare the efficacy of DA-9701 with a conventional PPI in mono or combination therapy in patients with FD. Methods In this double-blind, randomized, non-inferiority trial, 389 patients diagnosed with FD using Rome III criteria were allocated among 3 groups: 30-mg DA-9701 t.i.d (means 3 times a day), 40-mg pantoprazole, and 30-mg DA-9701 t.i.d + 40-mg pantoprazole. The primary efficacy end-point was a global assessment of the patient binary response or response on a 5-Likert scale after 4 weeks. Results The global symptomatic improvement was 60.5% in the DA-9701 group, 65.6% in the pantoprazole group, and 63.5% in the DA-9701 + pantoprazole group using a 5-Likert scale at week 4 with no significant difference among 3 groups (P = 0.685). Symptom improvement measured by binary outcome was significantly achieved in each of the 3 groups, but not different among groups. Patients in all treatment groups reported significant improvement in the response rate and symptoms according to FD subtypes and dyspepsia-related quality of life (P < 0.001), but there were no significant differences among the 3 groups. Conclusions DA-9701 improves global and individual symptoms and increases dyspepsia-specific quality of life in patients with FD. The efficacy of DA-9701 monotherapy is comparable with pantoprazole and there is no additive effect with combination of DA-9701 and pantoprazole in patients with FD.
