Long-term maintenance treatment with 300 mg thiamine for fatigue in patients with inflammatory bowel disease: results from an open-label extension of the TARIF study

OBJECTIVE AND AIMS: Fatigue is common in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In a RCT we demonstrated reductions in fatigue after 4 weeks' treatment with high-dose oral thiamine. We aimed to investigate whether 300 mg thiamine daily for 12 weeks could maintain the achieved levels of fatigue in patients with IBD after a 4-week intervention with high-dose thiamine; and evaluate the effect of a 6-month period where patients were free to take oral thiamine. METHODS: A randomised, open-label, controlled trial, performed as a long-term extension (LTE) study of an initial randomised, high-dose thiamine trial. Patients were allocated 1:1 to 300 mg oral thiamine or no thiamine for 12 weeks. Subsequently, the patients were allowed to self-treat with over-the-counter (OTC) oral thiamine 6-month. RESULTS: Regardless of allocation in the LTE study fatigue severity increased in the study period. No significant effect of 300 mg oral thiamine were found, when stratifying for initial allocation in the high-dose study or fatigue level at entry in the LTE study. Patients who took OTC thiamine had lower level of fatigue 6 month later (7.8; 95% CI: 5.5-10.1) when compared to the remains (11.0; 95% CI: 9.2-12.8) (p = .02). After the 6-months follow-up without restrictions, 66% of patients had reached normal fatigue levels. CONCLUSIONS: We found no beneficial effect on fatigue from thiamine taken in doses of 300 mg per day for 12 weeks following high-dose treatment. After a 6-months follow-up without restrictions 66% had reached a normal level of fatigue. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: The trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under study identifier NCT03634735.

Patient-reported treatment outcomes in ME/CFS and long COVID

Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and long COVID are persistent multisystem illnesses affecting many patients. With no known effective FDA-approved treatments for either condition, patient-reported outcomes of treatments may prove helpful in identifying management strategies that can improve patient care and generate new avenues for research. Here, we present the results of an ME/CFS and long COVID treatment survey with responses from 3,925 patients. We assess the experiences of these patients with more than 150 treatments in conjunction with their demographics, symptoms, and comorbidities. Treatments with the greatest perceived benefits are identified. Patients with each condition who participated in the study shared similar symptom profiles, including all the core symptoms of ME/CFS, e.g., 89.7% of ME/CFS and 79.4% of long COVID reported postexertional malaise (PEM). Furthermore, treatment responses between these two patient groups were significantly correlated (R 2 = 0.68). Patient subgroups, characterized by distinct symptom profiles and comorbidities, exhibited increased responses to specific treatments, e.g., a POTS-dominant cluster benefiting from autonomic modulators and a cognitive-dysfunction cluster from CNS stimulants. This study underscores the symptomatic and therapeutic similarities between ME/CFS and long COVID and highlights the commonalities and nuanced complexities of infection-associated chronic diseases and related conditions. While this study does not provide recommendations for specific therapies, in the absence of approved treatments, insights from patient-reported experiences provide urgently needed real-world evidence for developing targeted patient care therapies and future clinical trials.
