Lo studio mostra che il 72% dei pazienti ha interrotto i farmaci per la cura della malattia da reflusso gastroesofageo (MRGE) 10 anni dopo la procedura Stretta

NORWALK, Connecticut, 1 novembre 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Mederi Therapeutics ha annunciato oggi, durante la United European Gastroenterology Week (UEGW) di Vienna, in Austria, la presentazione dei nuovi dati di follow-up decennale relativi a pazienti sottoposti a terapia Stretta. I dati, illustrati dal responsabile dello studio, il Dott. Luca Dughera, dell'Università di Torino, hanno registrato un significativo e durevole sollievo dai sintomi della malattia da reflusso gastroesofageo (MRGE), nonché l'interruzione dell'uso di inibitori di pompa (IPP) nel 71,9% di pazienti, 10 anni dopo la somministrazione della terapia Stretta. Lo studio del Dott. Dughera è stato presentato nelle sessioni "Posters in the Spotlight", una vetrina degli studi più efficaci inviati al congresso.

Lo studio ha seguito 251 pazienti, 57 dei quali avevano raggiunto il follow-up decennale, e ha riscontrato i benefici duraturi e significativi del trattamento Stretta. I dati rilevati includono:

  • Un miglioramento significativo nei punteggi relativi ad acidità e qualità di vita di pazienti affetti da MRGE (heartburn e HRQL)
  • L'interruzione totale degli inibitori di pompa per il 71,9% (41/57) dei pazienti 10 anni dopo la procedura Stretta
  • L'efficacia di Stretta nella risoluzione dei sintomi extra esofagei di MRGE

Circa il 30% dei pazienti affetti da MRGE soffre ancora di sintomi nonostante i farmaci standard quali l'uso degli inibitori di pompa, e molti di più sono preoccupati dai potenziali rischi implicati da queste terapie a lungo termine. Stretta è un trattamento ideale per i pazienti che ancora soffrono di MRGE nonostante i farmaci, ma che non vogliono sottoporsi a intervento chirurgico.

Stretta è un trattamento non chirurgico che eroga per via orale ridotti livelli di radiofrequenza al muscolo collocato tra stomaco ed esofago. Gli studi mostrano che l'azione provoca un ispessimento del muscolo e la riduzione dell'aderenza dei tessuti, migliorando la funzione della barriera e riducendo gli eventi di riflusso, l'esposizione all'acido e i sintomi.

Nello studio, dal titolo "The use of non-ablative RF energy (Stretta) for the treatment of GERD. Ten years follow-up results," Dughera e la sua equipe hanno riconosciuto la necessità di offrire questa opzione di trattamento ai pazienti che non richiedono cure quotidiane nel lungo termine né chirurgia, soprattutto nella popolazione più giovane. Il Dott. Dughera ha spiegato: "I pazienti più giovani affetti da MRGE non auspicano ad assumere ogni giorno farmaci per tutta la vita e preferiscono evitare l'intervento". Dughera ha inoltre sottolineato che i dati decennali sono coerenti con un altro studio su 10 anni effettuato da Noar e altri, pubblicato in Surgical Endoscopy nel 2014. Lo studio del Dott. Noar ha riscontrato che il 64% dei pazienti ha interrotto i farmaci 10 anni dopo Stretta, con significativi miglioramenti nei punteggi GERD HRQL e un elevato livello di soddisfazione dei pazienti. "Stretta è ampiamente documentata negli studi clinici come una scelta sicura ed efficace ed è supportata dalle linee guida per SAGES e ASGE. È un opzione fattibile che deve essere proposta a chi è affetto da MRGE" ha concluso il medico.
