(ANEXO 1) Se ha notificado un ES (Effect Size=tamaiio de efecto) sobre dolor de 0,24 (IC del 95%: 0,08-0,39), un valor considerado bajo, pero clinicamente relevante en la OA (Osteoartrosis). Ademés, como el ES de diacereina y otros agentes anti-OA se basa en la diferencia entre el placebo y los efectos de farmacos actives, es importante sefialar que se ha demostrado inequivocamente una gran respuesta de placebo en ensayos clinicos aleatorios de OA; el ES = 0,51, IC del 95%: 0,46 - 0,55). Por lo tanto, la ES de la diacereina debe evaluarse teniendo en cuenta esta gran respuesta del placebo. La diacereina tiene eficacia semejante a la de los AINES sobre el dolor y la funcién articular después del primer mes de tratamiento. Y a diferencia de los AINE, diacereina ha mostrado un efecto prolongado de varios meses una vez que el tratamiento se detuvo y este efecto tiene evidencia de costo-efectividad demostrada*?, La evidencia publicada por + Pavelka K, Bruyére O, Cooper C, Kanis JA, Leeb BF, Maheu E, Matel-PelletierJ| Monfot J, Pelletier JP, Rizzol R, Reainster JY, Diaceren: Benefits, Risks and Place in the Management of Osteoarthris.

Si bien en Ia literatura se describen las heces blandas es el efecto secundario autorresolutivo mas frecuente con diacereina, se describe en toda la informacion para prescribir, esto no es el caso en estudios colombianos, comentado mas adelante. Dicho efecto secundario es de intensidad leve a moderada, siendo transitorio en la mayoria de los casos, no da lugar a hipopotasemia ni requiere reemplazo de electrolitos, Este efecto ocurre generalmente dentro de las primeras dos semanas (promedio 8,5 dias) de tratamiento y disminuye con la continuacién del tratamiento.

Hochberg,3?_ (ANEXO 11) realizé una revisidn sistematica e identificé siete estudios que proporcionaron datos sobre mortalidad o la supervivencia en personas con osteoartrosis. Aunque en general, no hubo pruebas moderadas de aumento de la mortalidad entre las personas con artrosis al comparar vs. la poblacién general, si se identificaron una serie de factores de riesgo para mortalidad en pacientes con osteoartrosis, como la edad avanzada y la presencia de condiciones comérbidas. Las posibles explicaciones para el exceso de mortalidad incluyen la reduccién de los niveles de actividad fisica en las personas con osteoartrosis debido a la alteracién de articulaciones de las extremidades inferiores y la presencia de comorbilidades, asi como los efectos adversos de los medicamentos utilizados, especialmente los antiinflamatorios no esteroideos. b, El riesgo de morbilidad especifica para osteoartrosis es de aproximadamente 25% para cadera y de 45% para la rodilla, el 3 y el trastorno es un importante contribuyente a [a rodilla, siendo responsable de aproximadamente 57.000 artroplastias de rodilla y 55.000 artroplastias de cadera realizadas cada afio, por ejemplo en Gran Bretaiia >, ¢.

Como punto relevante, a mayor incapacidad para caminar, mayor era el riesgo de muerte (p <0,001) *°, Por lo anterior, se puede afirmar que los pacientes con osteoartrosis tienen un mayor riesgo de muerte en comparacién con la poblacién general, de tal forma que es racional para la practica médica la deteccién y el tratamiento precoces en etapas tempranas de la enfermedad. La estructura poblacional colombiana de acuerdo al censo del DANE (ANEXO 12) muestra una tendencia marcadamente creciente de la poblacién mayor a 65 afios desde el afio 2012. De hecho, en el afio 2013 habia alrededor de 3.368.538 mayores de 65 afios, equivalente al 7.15% de la poblacién y se estima que lleguen en el 2016 a 3.740.375, correspondiente al 7.67% de la poblacion. Segiin la Osteoarthritis Research Society International- OARSI, (ente internacional de referencia), la prevalencia de OA es alta en mayores de 65 afios, siendo de aproximadamente 60% para OA de mano, 15% para OA de rodilla y cadera, confirmando asi el gran impacto de la enfermedad en los mayores de 65 ajios (ANEXO 13). que se traduce en incapacidades, alto consumo de medicamentos, mayor requerimiento de cirugias de alto costo como reemplazos articulares, ademas de aumentar riesgo de mortalidad por accidente cerebro vascular e infarto agudo de miocardio por sedentarismo, sin contar costos indirectos u ocultos provenientes de la iatrogenia por acetaminofén y/o AINEs Todo lo anterior obliga a atender en forma integral a este grupo etdreo de mayores de 65 afios con medicamentos que han comprobado modificacién estructural y sintomética de la enfermedad. Lo anterior, sumado a la alta prevalencia de la OA mostrada en la literatura biomédica mundial con cifras entre el 65-70%, que ubica a la OA como la tercera causa de incapacidades médicas y altos costos laborales a nivel mundial después de mlosardnpats isquémica y enfermedad cerebrovascular (ANEXO 13), |convierte lasi la OA en un objetivo de deteccién temprana y/o apoyo terapéutico por parte del sistema de seguridad social en Salud maxime que se esté ante el reto de una poblacién en Pagina 15 \S S8novamed® _g20i8 CALIDAD E INNOVACION envejecimiento, con toda la carga de enfermedades crénicas no transmisibles que ello conlleva.

It has also recently been shown to have protective effects against subchondral bone remodelling. Following the end of the revision procedure by the Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee of the European Medicines Agency, the European Society for Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis (ESCEO) constituted a panel of 11 experts to better define the seal place of diacerein in the armamentarium for weating OA. Based on a lteraure review of clinical wile and meta-analyses, the ESCEO confirms that the efficacy of diacecein is similar to that of non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) after the first month of weatment, and superior to that of (On beat ofthe European Society for Clinical and Economie Aspects of Oxeoporosis and Oxouthrss (ESCEO), EE Olivier Bryere olvierbruyere@ulg-azbe Insite of Rheumstlogy and Cline of Rhaumstology, ‘Charles Uaiversiy.

Additionally, diacerein has shown a pro- Jonged effect on symptoms of several months once tueatment was stopped. The use of diacerein is associated ‘with common gastrointestinal disorders such as soft stools and diarthoea, common mild skin reactions, and ‘uncommonly, hepstobilisry disorders. However, NSAIDs and paracetamol are known to cause potentially severe hpatic, gastrointestinal, renal, cutaneous and cardiovas- cular reactions. Therefore, the ESCEO concludes thet the Denefit-risk balance of diacerein remains positive in the symptomatic treatment of hip and knee osteoarthritis, Furthermore, similarly to other SYSADOAs, the ESCEO positions digcerein as a first-line pharmacological background treatment of osteoarthritis, particularly for patients in whom NSAIDs or paracetamol are contraindicated.

For individuals, the burden of OA also includes persistent background pain (aching) and intermittent but generally more intense pain, Together with ppein contributes to a significant reduction in ‘The management of OA includes pharmacological therapies, which are mostly symptomatic [2), Parzoetamol isthe first-line oral analgesic, whilst oral non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drags (NSAIDs), including selective ‘yclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors, are the mainstay of therapy (3, 4]. These drugs are considered as rapid-ecting drugs in OA and are recommended by theumatology societies (2, 5, 6] and government agencies [7]. ‘Symptomatic slow-acting drugs for OA (SYSADOAs) such as glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate and diacercin are used for non-acate treatment, Although there is rela- tive general agreement on many OA management recommendations aoross organisations, there is still no consensus on the place of SYSADOAS. In general, they are considered supplementary 10 analgesics and NSAIDs, ‘whereas the European Society for Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis (ESCEO) places SYSADOAs as. pharmacological background ‘weatment; that is frst chronic therapy that may improve ‘of control symproms (5) Diacereia is an anthraquinone derivative, of which the active metabolite is rhein. Its positioning in the algorithm established by the ESCEO [8] had not been formalised because, at the time of publication, diacerein was under review "by the Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Following the assessment of the PRAC, the ESCEO felt the need to evaluate the role of diacerein in Anew clinical practice and constituted a panel of experts to define its place in the management of OA. This article expresses the reasoned conclusions drawn by the ESCEO working group on diacerein, 2 BSCEO Working Group Process ‘The ESCEO invited 11 experts in musculoskeletal diseases (cheumatologist, clinical epidemiologists and scientists) 0 be par of the working group. Four members had already been involved in clinical or preclinical research on diacerein, two of them being curtent diacecein prescribers all were proficient in analysing aad interpreting clinical ‘tial evidence related 10 OA. Five of the participants were entrusted with the task of preparing a review on the mode of action, efficacy and safety of diacerein in the weatment of OA. A literature search was conducted in May 2015 using the MEDLINE PubMed database. The search strategy included a combi- nation of the following terms: ‘diacerein’, “diacetylrhein’ ‘digcerhein’, ‘rhein’ and ‘osteoarthritis’. Filter settings ‘were "English’, ‘Freach’, ‘German’, ‘Spanish’ or ‘Italian’ languages. This literature search yielded 179 hits, of which 108 (57 original research papers, 51 reviews, meta-analyses or opinion-based articles) were retieved according to their relevance to the topics mentioned above: 42 were related to ‘the mode of action of diacerein, 60 dealt with its clinical efficacy, and 45 contained information on the safety of diacerein. AdGitional references were selected from the reference lists of the retrieved articles to broaden the Ticerature search, ‘The outcome of this review was finally discussed by the 11 experts at a one-day meeting in June 2015. 3 The Mechanism of Action of Diacerein in Osteoarthritis 34 In Vitro Studies ‘The principal mechenism of setion of diacerein iso inhibit the interleukin-I6 (HL-1f) system and related downstream signalling (9).

Production of IL-1 may also be affected as diacerein has been shown to inhbie the TL-1f-induced activation of tansription factor NP-xB, which simulates pro-inflammatory cytokine expression (14-16).

Diacerein consistently reduced cartilage loss compared with untreated controls (26-30), improved cartilage lesions in the experimental hip chondrolysis model of immamre Beagle dogs [31], and induced en increase in bone mineral density as well as a decrease in the thickness of the subchondral bone plate [28]. Finally, prophylactic treatment with diacerein has been shown to delay arthritis secondary to meniscectomy in a rat model of OA [32]. 4 Clinical Data on the Efficacy of Diacerein 4.1 Effects on Pain and Physical Function Efficacy of diacerein was evaluated in 16 published clinical tials (33-48). Patients included in these studies ‘were representative of patients in a reablife setting, so that the outcomes can be extrapolated to the general population. Four published meta-analyses assessed the symptomatic effects of 100 mg/éay diacerein [49-52]. Bach of them included a different set of clinical studies (Table 2). Tn ¢ meta-analysis of 19 published and unpublished srudies including «total of 2637 patients, Ritelen end co authors [48] showed a statistically significant superionity of disoereia over placebo at the end of treatment with respect to puin eduction and physical function improvement. At the end of the teatment-iree follow-up period, diaceein ‘was also found to be significantly better than placebo on pain (no pooled data on function), thus demonstrating a canry-over effect after stopping weatment. When compared with standard treatments (mostly NSAIDs), no statistically significant difference regarding pain and pi was observed at the end ofthe eatmenc period, However, atthe end of the weatment-free follow-up period, pocled Glass’ standardised mean differences on pain and joint function showed that diacerein was significantly superior ‘over the aetve comparator (Fig. 1). Using the strict Cochrane criteria for meta-analyses, Fidelix and co-athors reviewed seven published an. dlomised contolled trials in 8 total of 2069 patents with OA {50}. Three more clinical wils [44, 45, 47] were included in the updated Cochrane Review [51] compared with the 2006 version. The main differences in oxteomes beoween the tO metaanalyses are shown in Table 3. ‘Thus, in the Cochrane 2014 version, the mean-weighted differences (MWD) tended to increase in favour of iac- cerein compared with placebo. The authors concluded that diacerein had a small but significant effect on overall pain shor 3-36 months of treatment. In addition, results of @ subgroup analysis demonstrating « cary-over effect of diacerein compared with placebo or NSAIDs on pain and physical function were presented Finally, another meta-analysis on randomised, placebo- controlled wials with diacerein was published by Bartels et a.

A saline solution was used in the diacerein and placebo groups to maintain the blind. No statistically significant differences between groups ‘were observed for JSN. The percentage of patients with progression >0.5 mm was 17.7, 18.9 nd 203 % (p = 0.90) in the HA, diacerein and placebo groups, respectively. 5 Clinical Data on the Safety of Diacerein 5. Gastrointestinal Regarding the risk of gastrointestinal disorders, the most frequently reported events with diacerein were loose stools and dianhoea. The laxative effect of diacerein is well known and results from its anthraquinone chemical Bartels etal. [52] celculated that the risk ratio (RR) for developing diarrhoea under diacerein versus placebo treatment was 3.51 (95 % CI 2.55-4.83). Fidelix etal. (51) obtained an RR of 3.52 (95 % CI 2.42-5.11) for diacesein versus placebo, with an absolute risk increase of 24 9 (95 % CI 12-35). Well in line with these meta-analyses, Rintelen and co-authors [49] summarised that 39% of patients trested with dincerein versus 12% of patients receiving placebo experienced at least one episode of loose stool or diarrhoea, Diarrhoea was mentioned to be generally mild to ‘moderate in all publications that make reference to the Anse severity (35, 40, 44], and occurred in the first 2 weeks of ‘ueatment. No particular pattern of associated disorders could be detected. In all cases, the diccerein-induoed diarthoea was reversible after cessation of treatment. Fur- thermore, dismhoeal symptoms decreased in most cases after continuous treatment [62] ‘The post-marketing surveillance of diacerein showed that 25 serious eases of diasrhoes were reported. Three of them concemed elderly patients, who experienced dehy- dration and clectrolyte disorders; one case was fatal and ‘occurred in a 79-year-old female with a medical history of arterial hypertension and cardiac arshythmia (63) 52 Cutaneous ‘The skin was not a target organ for toxicity in short- and long-term animal toxicology studies. Nevertheless, the incidence of cutaneous events in the 15 published clinical tials evaluating diacerein ranged between 1.8 % (35, 36) and 9.4 % [41]. The present review identified rash, pruritus and eczema as the most common cutaneous reactions reported in clinical wials. They are appropriately reflected in the product information with a frequency of >1/100 and <1. Furthermore, the available post-marketing data revealed a fevy severe cases of cutaneous events: four erythema ‘multiform, two Stevens-Tohnson syndrome (SIS) and three toxie epidermal necrolysis (TEN) [63]. 53 Hepatic Among the 15 published clinical wials evaluating diacerein, only Zheng etal. [43] reported the occurrence of 1 hepatic adverse event: one treatment discontinuation due to increase jn hepatic enzymes. The PRAC performed « ‘more complete analysis of available data and retrieved seven clinical tials showing abnormalities of liver tests, Diacecein in the Management of Ostecarthitis COGO24 a ‘These were mostly characterised by mild/moderate liver enzyme increase (ALT, AST <5 ULN) without increases in bilirubin (63). A total of 89 cases within the post-marketing surveil lance were considered as hepatic reactions. The most fre- quent reactions were liver function test abnormalities (41 cases) (63). One case of hepatic failure had 2 fatal outcome and a close temporal association with diacerein (64). The extensive preclinical animal toxicology data with 4-5; Nice, Fracce. ‘Schult: KP.
