This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of drug interventions in the treatment of pruritus associated with primary biliary cholangitis. The results showed that UDCA, methotrexate, and GSK2330672 can relieve itching, but there is heterogeneity in their effects on serum indexes, and no specific drug can be recommended for the treatment of pruritus based on the current evidence.
Background and objective: Pruritus is a common complication in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). The pathogenesis is not clear, and also the precise therapeutic measures remain alluring. In order to systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of drug interventions in the treatment of pruritus associated with PBC, this systemic review and meta-analysis was conducted. Methods: The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on drug interventions in the treatment of pruritus associated with primary cholangitis were searched in the electronic databases of PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and . Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted and integrated the data, and assessed the bias risk of the selected literature, according to the Cochrane handbook. Finally, the STATA 15.0 software was used for the meta-analysis. Results: A total of 23 RCTs involving 2,194 patients were studied, that included 12 pharmacological interventions. In terms of itching relief, compared with placebo, UDCA, methotrexate and GSK2330672 had a definite effect in improving pruritus (pruritus remission rate before and after treatment, p < 0.05). In terms of serum indexes, compared with placebo group, UDCA, OCA, rifampicin, cyclosporine, NGM282, seladelpar and colchicine may improve blood alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (p < 0.05), but only rifampicin showed low heterogeneity. UDCA, bezafibrate, OCA, rifampicin, NGM282 and others may improve blood gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (gamma-GGT) (p < 0.05), but due to the high heterogeneity and the limitation of research samples, a clear conclusion cannot be drawn. In terms of adverse events, except high (> 15 mg/kg/day) and low doses (< 13 mg/kg/day) of UDCA increased the incidence of adverse events, there were no risk of increasing the incidence of adverse events compared with placebo (p > 0.05), and a moderate dose of UDCA (13-15 mg/kg/day) and malotilate (1,500 mg/day) may also help in reducing the incidence of adverse events (p < 0.05). Conclusion: UDCA, methotrexate and GSK2330672 may relieve itching in patients with PBC, but there is a lack of robust evidence to support their effect on ALP or gamma-GGT. Due to the heterogeneity in the published studies, based on the present review, we cannot explicitly recommend any specific drug for the treatment of PBC-related pruritus.
