Introduction: OIC negatively impacts patients’ HR-QOL. Naloxegol (Movantik®), a peripherally acting mu-opioid receptor antagonist (PAMORA) proved effective in treating OIC symptoms in adults with chronic non-cancer pain in two pivotal phase 3 trials (KODIAC 4/5; NCT01309841/NCT01323790). This pooled analysis evaluated HR-QOL improvement utilizing the Patient Assessment of Constipation Quality of Life questionnaire (PAC-QOL) in these two randomized, placebo-controlled trials.

Methods: PAC-QOL scores were collected during KODIAC 4/5 as supportive efficacy measures. Scoring ranged from 0 (absence of symptoms) to 4 (very severe) for each domain (Physical Discomfort, Psychosocial Discomfort, Worries/Concerns, and Satisfaction). Minimal clinically important difference (MCID) thresholds of 0.5 based on literature and naloxegol real world studies, and 0.8 based on anchor method assessment were evaluated in the pooled KODIAC 4/5 data and used to identify responders and non-responders.

Results: 1337 patients (naloxegol (25mg, 12.5mg) or placebo (PBO)) were assessed in this analysis. The overall baseline values for PAC-QOL Total, Physical discomfort, Psychosocial Discomfort, Worries/Concerns, and Satisfaction scores were 2.0, 2.1, 1.3, 2.0, and 3.3, respectively.

For MCID >0.5, a higher proportion of PAC-QOL responders were observed for naloxegol (25 mg: 66.07%; 12.5mg: 68.47%) vs PBO (58.95%) at Wk 12. Odds ratios (OR) were 1.4 (p=0.047) for 25mg and 1.5 (p=0.017) for 12.5mg vs. PBO, indicating significance with 40-50% higher likelihoods of clinically meaningful HR-QOL improvement than PBO.

For MCID >0.8, higher proportions of PAC-QOL responders were also observed for naloxegol (25mg: 52.68%; 12.5mg: 56.25%) vs. PBO (45.73%). ORs were 1.4 (p=0.068) for 25mg and 1.5 (p=0.010) for 12.5mg vs. PBO.

ORs were generally consistent between MCID >0.8 and 0.5 (Table 1).

Significantly greater proportions of responders achieved Satisfaction for 25mg and 12.5mg vs. PBO (p< 0.05) for both MCID thresholds. Other subdomains also showed statistically significant and numerical improvements with naloxegol (25mg, 12.5 mg) vs. PBO. (Figures 1a-d).

Discussion: In two phase 3 pivotal clinical trials, patients with OIC achieved clinically relevant HR-QOL improvements and reported significant satisfaction with naloxegol at both MCID thresholds.
