A retrospective study on tolvaptan prescription in clinical practice in patients with syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) using the Japanese claims database

We aimed to survey the status of tolvaptan administration in routine clinical practice since the approval of a novel indication for treating syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) in Japan. Data from a population of 3,152 patients aged ≥18 years and diagnosed with SIADH...

description We aimed to survey the status of tolvaptan administration in routine clinical practice since the approval of a novel indication for treating syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) in Japan. Data from a population of 3,152 patients aged ≥18 years and diagnosed with SIADH between July 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021 were extracted from a Japanese database. Tolvaptan was administered to 586 patients while 2,566 patients were followed up without tolvaptan. In the tolvaptan-treated group, the standard initial doses were 3.75 mg and 7.5 mg in 290 (49.5%) and 250 (42.7%) patients, respectively. The dose was increased in 112 (38.6%) and 71 (28.4%) and decreased in 8 (2.8%) and 46 (18.4%) of patients with 3.75 and 7.5 mg initial doses, respectively. Of the total 586 SIADH patients treated with tolvaptan, serum sodium concentrations were analyzed in 60 patients. In both treatment groups of 3.75 and 7.5 mg initial doses, the serum sodium concentration was elevated from the second day of treatment and reached 135 mEq/L on the fourth day, which was maintained for 2 weeks. Rapid correction of hyponatremia (>10 mEq/L increase in serum sodium concentration over 1 day or >18 mEq/L increase over 2 days) occurred in 26.7% patients with a 7.5 mg initial dose (4 of 15 patients) but not in the patients with a 3.75 mg initial dose (n = 16), suggesting that an initial dose of 3.75 mg of tolvaptan may be a better choice for the safe and proper correction of hyponatremia.
