简要总结
This phase II trial studies the effect of obeticholic acid in treating patients with Barrett's esophagus. Bile acids present in duodenogastroesophageal reflux contribute to neoplastic progression in Barrett's esophagus. Obeticholic acid has shown anti-cholestatic, anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects mediated by FXR activation. It down regulates bile acid availability and decreases proinflammatory cytokine production including IL-1beta and TNFalpha in human enterocytes and immune cells. This chain of events reduces the bile acid exposure in esophagus tissue thereby limiting bile acid induced damage and dysplastic progression.
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To assess the mean change from baseline in the leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein coupled receptor 5 (LGR5) + cells in the crypts of esophageal tissue among patients with Barrett's esophagus (BE) receiving 25 mg of obeticholic acid (OCA), once daily from 0 to 180 days as compared to placebo.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine OCA concentrations and concentrations of the two major active metabolites, taurine, and glycine conjugates, in plasma after dosing with OCA 25 mg to determine the concentrations reached.
II. To assess the effects of treatment with OCA versus placebo on total and individual bile acid composition in Barrett's tissue, gastric aspirate, and serum.

Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her study physician immediately

- •Any serious and/or unstable pre-existing medical disorder (aside from malignancy exception above), psychiatric disorder, or other conditions that could interfere with participant's safety, obtaining informed consent, or compliance to the study procedures
- •Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements

Pregnant women are excluded from this study because OCA is an agent with unknown effects on the developing human fetus. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with OCA, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with OCA
- •Participants may not be receiving any other investigational agents
