BackgroundNonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) cause a high frequency of mucosal injuries in the small intestine. However, no reliable intervention, other than cessation of NSAIDs, has been established.ObjectiveTo evaluate whether irsogladine maleate reduces these injuries while continuing NSAID therapy.DesignProspective, interventional, endoscopist-blinded, randomized, controlled trial (RCT).SettingUniversity hospital.PatientsPatients regularly taking conventional NSAIDs for more than 4 weeks.InterventionsWe initially examined small-intestinal mucosal injuries by capsule endoscopy (CE) and screened participants for the RCT. In the RCT, patients with any mucosal injury were randomly assigned to the irsogladine group (4 mg/day) or the control group.Main Outcome MeasurementsThe primary endpoint was the rate of mucosal injury improvement after 4 weeks of treatment monitored with a second CE.ResultsSixty-one patients were evaluated with the first CE. Small intestine mucosal injuries were found in 41 patients (67.2%) and erosive or ulcerative lesions in 21 patients (34.4%). The injury prevalence was not different with gastroprotective drug treatment. Of 41patients enrolled, 39 (19 patients in the irsogladine group and 20 in the control group) completed the study. The improvement rate was significantly higher in the irsogladine group (16/19 patients; 84.2%) than in the control group (9/20 patients; 45.0%; P = .02).LimitationsAsymptomatic lesions, single-institution data, and single-blind setting.ConclusionIrsogladine maleate was effective for reducing NSAID-induced small-intestinal mucosal injury.
