| 1 | Recombinant streptokinase vs phenylephrine-based suppositories in acute hemorrhoids, randomized, controlled trial(THERESA-3)显示文摘AIM: To compare the efficacy and safety of recombinant streptokinase(rSK) and phenylephrine-based suppositories in acute hemorrhoidal disease.METHODS: A multicenter(14 sites), randomized(1:1), open, parallel groups, active controlled trial was done. After inclusion, subjects with acute symptoms of hemorrhoids, who gave their written, informed consent to participate, were centrally randomized to receive, as outpatients, rSK(200000 IU) or 0.25% phenylephrine suppositories, which had different organoleptic characteristics. Treatment was administered by the rectal route, one unit every 6 h during 48 h for rSK, and up to a maximum of 5 d(20 suppositories) for phenylephrine. Evaluations were performed at 3, 5 and 10 d postinclusion. The main end-point was the 5th-day complete clinical response(disappearance of pain and edema, and ≥ 70% reduction of the lesion size). Time to response and need for thrombectomy were secondary efficacy variables. Adverse events were evaluated too. RESULTS: 5thday complete response rates were 83/110(75.5%) and 36/110(32.7%) with rSK and phenylephrine suppositories, respectively. This 42.7% difference(95%CI: 30.5-54.2) was highly significant(P < 0.001). The advantage was detected since the early 3rdday evaluation(37.3% vs 6.4% for the rSK and active control groups, respectively; P < 0.001) and was kept even at the late 10thday assessment(83.6% vs 58.2% for rSK and phenylephrine, respectively; P < 0.001). Time for complete response was significantly shorter(P = 0.031; log-rank test) in the rSK group(median: 4.9 d; 95%CI: 4.8-5.0) with respect to the active control(median: 9.8 d; 95%CI: 9.8-10.0). Thrombectomy was necessary in 1/59 and 8/57 patients with baseline thrombosis in the rSK and phenylephrine groups, respectively(P = 0.016). There were no adverse events attributable to the experimental treatment. CONCLUSION: rSK suppositories showed a significant advantage over a widely used over-the-counter phen-ylephrine preparation for the treatment of acute hemorrhoidal illness, with an adequate safety profile. | Francisco Hernández-Bernal Georgina Castellanos-Sierra Carmen M Valenzuela-Silva Karem M Catasús-lvarez Roselin Valle-Cabrera Ana Aguilera-Barreto Pedro A López-Saura | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014，20，6： | 4 |
