Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study is to indirectly compare and rank the different drugs that have been studied in randomized clinical trials (RCTs) in patients with tardive dyskinesia (TD) in terms of their efficacy in ameliorating the symptoms of TD and safety.
Design: A network meta-analysis and a systematic review were registered prospectively on PROSPERO under the ID: CRD42023407823 and were conducted in accordance with the PRISMA-NMA guidelines.
Data sources: PubMed, Scopus, The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Web of Sciences, and Clinicaltrials.gov were searched to identify relevant records.
Eligibility criteria for selecting studies: Any parallel randomized blinded controlled clinical trials that studied the use of any medications in treating TD and assessed the symptoms using a functional scale that has been previously validated.
Data extraction: The standardized mean difference of improvement along with the reported adverse events for each drug was extracted from each trial, and a network meta-analysis was conducted using a random-effects model.
Results: One thousand eight hundred seventeen patients in 33 RCTs were included in the analysis. Twenty-three different drugs were compared to placebo in terms of reduction in TD symptoms. Among these, valbenazine 80 mg (SMD = - 1.66, 95%CI = [- 2.55; - 0.78]), valbenazine 40 mg (- 1.00, [- 1.89; - 0.11]), and vitamin E (- 0.77, [- 1.45; - 0.1]) significantly reduced TD symptoms in comparison to placebo, while deutetrabenazine 36 mg (- 1.00, [- 2.12; 0.11]) and reserpine (- 0.54, [- 1.09; 0.02]) did not significantly reduce symptoms. Some serious adverse events were reported for valbenazine and deutetrabenazine, which included mainly psychiatric symptoms such as depression, worsening of schizophrenia, and suicidal ideation, while mild adverse events were reported for other drugs, and their incidence in the treatment arms was comparable to those in the placebo arm.
Conclusions: Valbenazine (80 and 40 mg) and vitamin E demonstrated efficacy in treating tardive dyskinesia. However, the significant side effects of valbenazine should prompt further investigation of alternative treatment modalities.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology publishes original papers on all aspects of clinical pharmacology and drug therapy in humans. Manuscripts are welcomed on the following topics: therapeutic trials, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, pharmacogenetics, drug metabolism, adverse drug reactions, drug interactions, all aspects of drug development, development relating to teaching in clinical pharmacology, pharmacoepidemiology, and matters relating to the rational prescribing and safe use of drugs. Methodological contributions relevant to these topics are also welcomed.
Data from animal experiments are accepted only in the context of original data in man reported in the same paper. EJCP will only consider manuscripts describing the frequency of allelic variants in different populations if this information is linked to functional data or new interesting variants. Highly relevant differences in frequency with a major impact in drug therapy for the respective population may be submitted as a letter to the editor.
Straightforward phase I pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic studies as parts of new drug development will only be considered for publication if the paper involves
-a compound that is interesting and new in some basic or fundamental way, or
-methods that are original in some basic sense, or
-a highly unexpected outcome, or
-conclusions that are scientifically novel in some basic or fundamental sense.
