<p>Background: Neither the efficacy nor safety of elobixibat has been investigated in the treatment of chronic constipation in patients with heart failure (HF).</p><p>Methods and Results: In this prospective, single-center, single-arm study elobixibat (10 mg/day) was administered for 12 weeks to 18 HF patients with chronic constipation defined according to the Rome IV criteria. Spontaneous bowel movement (SBM), stool consistency as measured by the Bristol Stool Form Scale, and degree of straining during defecation were recorded. In addition, biomarkers, blood pressure (BP) measured by ambulatory monitoring, and adverse events were assessed. Although there was no significant difference, the frequency of SBM increased by 2.0/week from baseline to Week 12. Both the degree of straining during defecation and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels were significantly decreased at Week 12 (straining, −0.79 [95% confidence interval (CI), −1.40 to −0.17]; LDL-C, −10.4 mg/dL [95% CI, −17.9 to −2.9]). Although not significant, the difference in BP before and after defecation tended to decrease from baseline by approximately 10 mmHg at Week 12. Serious adverse events were not observed.</p><p>Conclusions: Elobixibat reduced the degree of straining during defecation, and improved the lipid profile in HF patients with chronic constipation.</p>
