Abstract
Bile acid diarrhea (BAD) is a chronic and socially debilitating disease characterized by abdominal pain, diarrhea, urgency, and fecal incontinence. Recently, in a 6-week randomized controlled trial, we showed that the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) liraglutide is superior to bile acid sequestration (considered standard-of-care) using colesevelam in reducing BAD symptoms. The emergence of new, more potent, and longer-acting GLP-1RAs has spurred an interest in these treatments in BAD management. Here, we review the literature on different GLP-1RAs in BAD treatment and outline their potential mode of actions, highlight knowledge gaps, and outline the need for further clinical evidence generation.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Translational Gastroenterology (CTG), published on behalf of the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG), is a peer-reviewed open access online journal dedicated to innovative clinical work in the field of gastroenterology and hepatology. CTG hopes to fulfill an unmet need for clinicians and scientists by welcoming novel cohort studies, early-phase clinical trials, qualitative and quantitative epidemiologic research, hypothesis-generating research, studies of novel mechanisms and methodologies including public health interventions, and integration of approaches across organs and disciplines. CTG also welcomes hypothesis-generating small studies, methods papers, and translational research with clear applications to human physiology or disease.
