Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a well-established minimally invasive treatment for early gastric cancer. To heal ESD-induced ulcers, we commonly prescribe proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Vonoprazan is our new choice, which is reported to have a stronger and longer acid inhibitory effect than existing PPIs. Here, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of vonoprazan for healing ESD-induced ulcers compared with rabeprazole. METHODS We reviewed 190 patients who underwent ESD before and after we switched the acid secretion inhibitor from rabeprazole to vonoprazan. We evaluated scarring and reduction rates at 4 weeks after ESD. RESULTS Scarring rates were not different between vonoprazan and rabeprazole (31.7 vs. 18.9%; p = 0.07). However, for ulcers ≤35 mm, vonoprazan was superior to rabeprazole (42.2 vs. 19.2%; p < 0.05). Reduction rates were superior for vonoprazan compared with rabeprazole (93.0 vs. 90.4%; p < 0.05). In multivariate analysis, vonoprazan was superior to rabeprazole for ulcer scarring (OR 2.21; p < 0.05), and ulcer location in the lower-third of the stomach had higher risk of incomplete scarring (OR 0.37; p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Vonoprazan was superior to rabeprazole for healing ESD-induced ulcers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vonoprazan is a novel gastric acid suppressant that is applied in Japan to treat gastric diseases including Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. This meta-analysis aimed to summarize the ability of vonoprazan to eradicate clarithromycin-susceptible and clarithromycin-resistant H. pylori strains. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic search was performed using PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library. Studies were included if they evaluated eradication rates of vonoprazan-based and conventional PPI-based triple therapies and checked for clarithromycin susceptibility of H. pylori. RESULTS We identified 5 studies including a total of 1599 patients containing data regarding H. pylori with clarithromycin susceptibility. Among those infected with clarithromycin-susceptible H. pylori, eradication rates for vonoprazan-based and conventional PPI-based therapies did not significantly differ in either the randomized (RCT; pooled eradication rates, 95.4% vs 92.8%; pooled odds ratio [OR], 1.63; 95% confidence intervals [CI], 0.74-3.61; P = .225) and nonrandomized (NRCT; pooled eradication rates, 92.9% vs 86.2%; OR, 4.58; 95% CI, 0.67-31.45; P = .122) controlled trials. However, vonoprazan-based triple therapy was significantly superiority to PPI-based therapy for patients with clarithromycin-resistant strains in both RCT (pooled eradication rates, 82.0% vs 40.0%; OR, 6.83; 95% CI, 3.63-12.86; P < .0001) and NRCT (pooled eradication rates, 80.8% vs 41.8%; OR, 4.98; 95% CI, 2.47-10.03; P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS Vonoprazan-based and conventional PPI-based therapies are similarly effective for the eradication of clarithromycin-susceptible H. pylori strains. Vonoprazan is superior to conventional PPI-based therapy for the eradication of clarithromycin-resistant H. pylori strains. However, clarithromycin was misused because the combination of vonoprazan and amoxicillin cures approximately 80% of infections without clarithromycin.

Abstract
Conventional proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are used as a first-line therapy to treat acid-related diseases worldwide. However, they have a number of limitations including slow onset of action, influence by cytochrome P450 polymorphisms, unsatisfactory effects at night, and instability in acidic conditions. Alternative formulations of conventional PPIs have been developed to overcome these problems; however, these drugs have only introduced small advantages for controlling acid secretion compared to conventional PPIs. Potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs) were developed and have beneficial effects including rapid, long-lasting, and reversible inhibition of the gastric hydrogen potassium ATPase, the proton pump of the stomach. Vonoprazan was recently innovated as a novel, orally active P-CAB. It is currently indicated for the treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers, reflux esophagitis, and prevention of low-dose aspirin- or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-related gastric and duodenal ulcer recurrence in Japan. Vonoprazan does not require enteric coating as it is acid-stable, and it can be taken without food because it is quickly absorbed. Vonoprazan accumulates in parietal cells under both acidic and neutral conditions. It does not require an acidic environment for activation, has long-term stability at the site of action, and has satisfactory safety and tolerability. Thus, vonoprazan may address the unmet medical need for the treatment of acid-related diseases.

Abstract
Background/Aims The eradication rate of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) has been decreasing recently in Korea due to antibiotics resistance. The aim of this study was to investigate the trend of eradication rate and clinical factors affecting the eradication rate of H. pylori in the last 10 years in west Gyeonggi-do, Korea. Methods The trends of eradication rate of H. pylori, gender, age, concomitant mediations, and clinical factors were retrospectively evaluated in patients with H. pylori infection between 2006 and 2015 (n=2,485). Results The overall H. pylori eradication rate for the standard triple therapy was 82.5%. The annual eradication rates from 2006 to 2015 were 90%, 77.9%, 75.8%, 83.2%, 85.6%, 90.1%, 81.3%, 81.1%, 78.7%, and 78.8%, respectively, showing a significant decrement during the last five years (p<0.001). Higher eradication rate was observed in males than in females (p<0.001). Esomeprazole showed a higher eradication rate compared with pantoprazole between 2006 and 2010 (p<0.022). Age and the use of probiotics and mucosal protective agents played no significant role in the H. pylori eradication rate. The overall eradication rate for bismuth-based quadruple therapy was 94.4%. Conclusions The eradication rate of H. pylori over the last 10 years for first-line therapy ranged from 75.8 to 90.1%; the eradication rate for triple therapy has declined. However, the eradication rate for quadruple therapy has remained unchanged over the last 10 years.

Abstract
Background All Helicobacter pylori-infected patients are recommended for eradication with an appropriate regimen in each geographic area. The choice of the therapy is somewhat dependent on the antimicrobial susceptibility. The rate of clarithromycin resistance has been increasing and is associated with failure; thus, susceptibility testing is recommended before triple therapy with clarithromycin. However, antimicrobial susceptibility testing is not yet clinically available and an alternative newly developed acid inhibitor vonoprazan is used for triple therapy in Japan. The aim of this study was to determine whether vonoprazan-based triple therapy is plausible treatment in H. pylori eradication. Methods A retrospective observational study of H. pylori eradication was conducted in a single institute. The patients who requested antimicrobial susceptibility testing were treated with susceptibility-guided proton pump inhibitor-based triple therapy in International University of Health and Welfare Hospital from 2013 to 2016. Other patients were treated with empirical treatment with a proton pump inhibitor. From 2015 to 2016, vonoprazan-based triple treatment (vonoprazan, 20 mg; amoxicillin, 750 mg; and clarithromycin, 200 or 400 mg, b.i.d.) was conducted, and its effectiveness was compared with susceptibility-guided proton pump inhibitor-based triple therapy. We also investigated the improvement in eradication rate when antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed, and compared the outcomes of vonoprazan-based and proton pump inhibitor-based empirical therapy. Results A total of 1355 patients who received first-line eradication treatment were enrolled in the present study. The eradication rates of the empirical proton pump inhibitor-based therapy and the vonoprazan-based therapy group in a per-protocol analysis were 86.3% (95% CI 83.8–88.8) and 97.4% (95% CI 95.7–99.1), respectively. In 212 patients who received antimicrobial susceptibility testing, the rate of clarithromycin resistant was 23.5% and the eradication rate in susceptibility-guided treatment was 95.7% (95% CI 92.9–98.4). The difference between susceptibility-guided and vonoprazan-based therapy was − 1.7% (95% CI − 4.9 to 1.5%), and the non-inferiority of vonoprazan-based triple therapy was confirmed. Conclusions Vonoprazan-based triple therapy was effective as susceptibility-guided triple therapy for H. pylori eradication. An empirical triple therapy with vonoprazan is preferable even in area with high rates of clarithromycin-resistance. Trial registration The study was retrospectively registered in University Hospital Medical Information Network (UMIN000032351)

Abstract
Gastric acid inhibition during treatment is important for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. A novel potassium-competitive acid blocker, vonoprazan (VPZ), has been demonstrated to achieve high eradication rates; however, the efficacy of second-line treatment in failures of VPZ-based triple therapy has not been well studied. The aim of the current study was to determine the efficacy of VPZ in a first-line regimen for H. pylori eradication, and the efficacy of a second-line regimen using metronidazole (MTZ) in failures with the first-line regimen. Of 580 subjects enrolled in the study, 524 patients completed first-line treatment (275 patients who received VPZ and 249 patients who received LPZ). First-line regimens consisted of a combination of clarithromycin (CAM) 200 or 400 mg twice a day, amoxicillin (AMPC) 750 mg twice a day, and either LPZ 30 mg or VPZ 20 mg twice a day, administered orally for 7 days. CAM and VPZ/LPZ were replaced with metronidazole (MTZ) 250 mg and rabeprazole 10 mg in the second-line regimens. The eradication of H. pylori was assessed by the H. pylori stool antigen test. The overall first-line eradication rate with VPZ was significantly higher than that with LPZ [91.0% (250/275) vs. 84.7% (211/249), respectively, P=0.030]. The dose of CAM (400 vs. 800 mg) did not affect the eradication rate in either the VPZ or LPZ regimens. The overall eradication rates of the second-line regimens with MTZ did not differ significantly between the VPZ-failure and LPZ-failure groups [87.0% (20/23) vs. 87.9% (29/33), respectively, P=0.700]. Therefore, VPZ was significantly more effective than LPZ for first-line treatment. In patients with failure of first-line eradication therapy, successful results of second-line eradication therapy did not differ between the VPZ- and LPZ-failure groups. In conclusion, VPZ-based triple therapy should be recommended for eradication of H. pylori.

[PMID: 29110085 DOI: 10.1007/s00535-017-1406-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2017] [Accepted: 10/25/2017] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori infection is a risk factor for gastric cancer, and it has been reported that eradication of H. pylori is effective for preventing such cancer. Recently, H. pylori eradication has been performed in children as first-line therapy against gastric cancer. Here, we report use of triple therapy with a potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB) for H. pylori eradication in children. METHODS H. pylori infection testing and eradication therapy began in fiscal year 2015 in junior high school students located in Yurihonjo city and Nikaho city, Akita prefecture, Japan. Urine-based immunochromatography, stool antigen enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay tests, and serum antibody tests were performed as the initial screening examination. Those who tested positive on one of the three examinations then underwent a urea breath test (13C-UBT). Those who tested positive on 13C-UBT and expressed the desire to undergo H. pylori eradication then received eradication therapy comprising 20 mg P-CAB, 750 mg amoxicillin, and 200 mg clarithromycin twice a day for 7 days. At least 8 weeks after treatment, eradication success was evaluated using 13C-UBT. RESULTS A total of 118 students received eradication therapy. Eradication rates were 81.3% (95% confidence interval: 74.3-88.4, 96/118) in ITT analysis and 85.7% (95% confidence interval: 79.1-92.9 96/112) in PP analysis. Adverse effects associated with eradication therapy were observed in 25 of 118 subjects (21.1%), seven of whom required hospital treatment (rash in five, vomiting in two). All seven subjects either discontinued therapy or were administered anti-allergy drugs, which resulted in swift alleviation of symptoms. CONCLUSIONS First-line triple therapy with a P-CAB for H. pylori eradication in children was found to be safe.

Abstract
Recently, two epidemiological studies showed that long-term treatment with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) increased the risk of gastric cancer. It is well known that hypergastrinemia predisposes to gastric neoplasia in animals as well as man. Recently a study showed that hypergastrinemic patients had an increased risk of gastric cancer when followed for about 25 years. It is likely that hypergastrinemia is the pathogenic factor for gastric carcinogenesis due to PPI. PPI are the only group of drugs that causes long-term hypergastrinemia in the doses used in a clinical setting. Due to the likely carcinogenic effect, PPIs should be used carefully. Moreover, since the carcinogenic effect of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection also may be mediated by an increase in gastrin, Hp should be eradicated whenever treatment with PPI is initiated. In peptic ulcer disease Hp eradication is the treatment of choice. Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is the most prevalent condition leading to long-term use of inhibitors of gastric acid secretion. Only in severe oesophagitis should the treatment be initiated by PPIs, whereas histamine-2 (H-2) blockers ought to be the initial option in most cases of GERD particularly since PPI treatment induces tolerance to H-2 blockers. In the cases where long-term PPI treatment is necessary, the dose should be adjusted by the determination of chromogranin A, which in a way reflects 24-h gastrin exposure. Finally, due to latency of neoplasia, the use of PPI must be very restricted in children and young adults.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance is growing worldwide, and patients who have failed consecutive 1st- and 2nd-line H. pylori eradication regimens are increasing. Therefore, the role of the bacterial culture with antibiotic susceptibility testing and molecular susceptibility testing is important for avoiding the use of ineffective antibiotics. However, antibiotic susceptibility testing-guided treatment does not necessarily guarantee successful eradication, and there have been mixed results for the effectiveness of a 3rd-line rescue therapy. Therefore, providing patients with pretreatment medication instructions and education is important. It is also crucial to determine the reason of the eradication failure, including host-related factors (poor compliance to eradication regimen, smoking, and cytochrome P450 2C19 genetic polymorphism) or treatment-related factors (inadequate dosage or duration of therapy and gastric acidity), as such factors can be modified for a tailored therapy. Although the indications for H. pylori eradication have widened, patients at a high risk of gastric cancer can gain definitive benefits with a 3rd-line or even 4th-line therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM The effects of vonoprazan and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in patients with reflux esophagitis (RE) have not yet been compared using multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH). METHODS A total of 8 patients with persistent gastric mucosal injury, despite completing an 8-week standard PPI therapy, were enrolled in the study. While they were on standard PPI therapy, the baseline values of reflux parameters, holding time ratio (HTR) of gastric pH >4, and esophageal pH <4 were obtained by using 24 h MII-pH monitoring. They were re-evaluated after discontinuation of the therapy and 4 weeks of subsequent treatment with vonoprazan 20 mg/day. RESULTS The patients were found to be CYP2C19 extensive metabolizers and negative for Helicobacter pylori infection. In 7 patients (87.5%), the mucosal lesions had healed completely after vonoprazan therapy. A significant increase in gastric pH >4 HTR was observed, from 26.5 to 78.0% (p = 0.029). A reduction in esophageal pH <4 HTR was also observed but it was not statistically significant. Furthermore, acid clearance time and the total number of reflux events, including acid and proximal reflux events, were significantly reduced. CONCLUSION Vonoprazan may be a better therapy for the treatment of patients with PPI-refractory RE.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) potently inhibit gastric acid secretion and are widely used for treatment of acid-related diseases including gastroesophageal reflux disease and secondary prevention of aspirin/NSAID-induced ulcers. Although clinically important adverse effects of PPIs can occur, just as with other drugs, those are not frequently observed during or after administration. Thus, PPIs are regarded as relatively safe and considered to be clinically beneficial. Recently, PPIs have become frequently administered to patients with functional gastrointestinal diseases or primary prevention of drug-related gastroduodenal damage, even though their beneficial effects for those conditions have not been fully confirmed. PPIs tend to be given for conditions in which the necessity of the drug has not been clarified, thus otherwise rare adverse effects are presented as clinically relevant. Although several PPI-related adverse effects have been reported, their clinical relevance is not yet clear, since the evidence reported in those studies is not at a high enough level, as the majority are based on retrospective observational studies and the reported hazard ratios are low. It is important to administer PPIs only for patients who will gain a substantial clinical benefit and to continue to investigate their adverse effects with high quality prospective studies.

Abstract
Vonoprazan-based regimens have improved the rate of successful Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication, but it has not reached 100%. The aim of this study is to clarify significant predictors of successful H. pylori eradication using a vonoprazan-based regimen. In this retrospective cohort study, 174 patients who underwent primary H. pylori eradication therapy were included. All patients underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy before treatment. The vonoprazan-based regimen includes amoxicillin 750 mg, clarithromycin 200 mg and vonoprazan 20 mg twice daily for one week. Pre-treatment with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) was defined as continued PPI use for more than four weeks prior to eradication therapy. The rates of successful eradication were 83% (145/174) in intention-to-treat analysis and 85% (145/171) in per-protocol analysis. Predictors of successful eradication among 171 patients were evaluated in per-protocol analysis. In univariate analysis, male gender was a significant positive predictor of successful eradication (odds ratio [OR] 3.813, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.363-10.663, p = 0.010) and pre-treatment with PPIs was a negative predictor (OR 0.193, 95%CI 0.076-0.485, p < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, male gender remained a positive predictor (OR 3.826, 95%CI 1.317-11.116, p = 0.013), and pre-treatment with PPIs (OR 0.232, 95%CI 0.087-0.615, p = 0.003) remained a negative predictor. In conclusion, pre-treatment with PPIs before eradication therapy decreases the rate of successful eradication. Therefore, it may be desirable to discontinue pre-treatment with PPIs prior to eradication therapy, because of the potential to improve the rate of successful eradication.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The eradication rate of vonoprazan-based first-line triple therapy (combined with clarithromycin and amoxicillin) (V-AC) was reported to be 97.6% in patients with clarithromycin (CAM)-susceptible Helicobacter pylori in a phase III study, whereas our real-world, prospective, multicenter cohort study yielded an eradication rate <90%. OBJECTIVE To validate the eradication rate of V-AC using CAM-susceptible testing in a multicenter, prospective, randomized trial. METHODS We included 147 treatment-naïve H. pylori-positive patients [41 with CAM-resistant infections and 106 with CAM-susceptible infections]. The CAM-susceptible group patients were randomized to either the V-AC group (vonoprazan 20 mg bid, amoxicillin 750 mg bid, and clarithromycin 200 or 400 mg bid) or PPI-AC group (lansoprazole 30 mg, rabeprazole 10 mg, or esomeprazole 20 mg bid; amoxicillin 750 mg bid; and clarithromycin 200 or 400 mg bid). All CAM-resistant H. pylori were eradicated by V-AC, as measured by the urea breath test around 8 weeks after eradication. Safety was evaluated by patient questionnaires. RESULTS The intention-to-treat and per-protocol eradication rates of V-AC in the CAM-susceptible H. pylori-infected patients were 87.3% (95% confidence interval 75.5%-94.7%) and 88.9% (77.4%-95.8%). The respective eradication rates of PPI-AC were 76.5% (62.5%-87.2%) and 86.7% (73.2%-94.9%). No significant difference was observed between the V-AC and PPI-AC regimes in terms of the intention-to-treat (P = .21) or per-protocol (P = .77) analyses. The questionnaire scores did not differ significantly between the groups. Both the intention-to-treat and per-protocol eradication rates of V-AC in the CAM-resistant patients were 82.9% (67.9%-92.8%). CONCLUSION The eradication rate of V-AC treatment in the CAM-susceptible H. pylori-infected patients was <90%, as was that by PPI-AC, thus V-AC is not ideal regimen in CAM-susceptible H. pylori. However, the 82.9% eradication rate of V-AC in the CAM-resistant infections may indicate the potential of V-AC with modified dose, dosing interval, and treatment duration. (UMIN000016337).

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori-associated gastritis leads to the development of gastric cancer. Kyoto global consensus report on H. pylori gastritis recommended H. pylori eradication therapy to prevent gastric cancer. To manage H. pylori infection, it is important to choose the appropriate regimen considering regional differences in resistance to clarithromycin and metronidazole. Quinolones and rifabutin-containing regimens are useful as third- and fourth-line rescue therapies.

Abstract
Although proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have been used widely, acid-related diseases are still associated with a huge burden on the health care system. Recently, the efficacy and safety of a new acid suppressant named vonoprazan in the treatment of acid-related diseases have been evaluated by a series of studies. As a novel potassium-competitive acid blocker, vonoprazan may provide reversible acid suppression by preventing K+ from binding to gastric H+/K+-ATPase. It has been clinically used for the short-term treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in Japan. The healing rate of GERD and gastric ulcers by vonoprazan is more than 95 and 90%, respectively; also, it is effective in curing PPI-resistant GERD. It increases H. pylori eradication rate to more than 88% as part of both first-line and second-line therapy. It is also effective in the eradication of clarithromycin-resistant H. pylori strains. All of these short-term studies show vonoprazan is safe and well-tolerated. As a safe and effective acid inhibitor, vonoprazan might be a novel alternative in the treatment of acid-related diseases.

Abstract
The number of patients with methotrexate-associated lymphoproliferative disorder (MTX-LPD) is increasing. We describe a case of MTX-LPD of the stomach. After treatment with methotrexate for rheumatoid arthritis, the patient developed left cervical lymphadenopathy and an ulcerative lesion in the stomach, which was presumed to be a mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. However, we suspected MTX-LPD, based on the clinical course and the positivity of in situ hybridization for the detection of the Epstein-Barr encoding region. After the cessation of MTX, the left cervical lymphadenopathy and the gastric lesion disappeared. This is first report of gastric MTX-LPD that was presumed to be MALT lymphoma.

Therap Adv Gastroenterol 2018; 11:1756283X17745776.

Abstract
Potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB) is a class of drug that competitively blocks the potassium-binding site of H+, K+-adenosine triphosphate (ATP)ase. Although the history of this class of drugs started over 30 years ago, clinical use of two P-CABs, revaprazan and vonoprazan, were only recently approved in Korea and Japan, respectively. Among them, vonoprazan has several advantages over conventional proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs), including rapid onset of action, long duration of acid suppression, fewer interindividual variations in terms of acid suppression, and minimum dietary influence on its action. These advantages of vonoprazan have been proved in clinical trials conducted for license approvals for several acid-related diseases. In this review article, current evidence of vonoprazan in the management of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) will be summarized. Since the clinical trial data, as well as postmarketed clinical data, have consistently demonstrated superiority of vonoprazan over conventional PPIs in terms of achieving healing of mucosal breaks and maintaining the healing, it may provide an excellent, if not complete, option for fulfilling some of the unmet needs for current GERD therapy. The safety problem of vonoprazan is also discussed, as more pronounced hypergastrinemia inevitably ensues with its use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vonoprazan (VPZ) is a novel acid suppressant that has been used in Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication therapies in recent years. However, the efficacy and safety of VPZ vs proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) in H. pylori eradication therapies remain controversial. OBJECTIVE To perform a meta-analysis in order to assess the efficacy and safety of VPZ vs PPI for H. pylori eradication. MATERIALS AND METHODS The PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were searched up to July 10, 2017, for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and nonrandomized clinical studies (NRCTs). The pooled eradication rate (ER) and pooled occurrence rates of adverse events were used to compare the efficacy and safety of VPZ - and PPI-containing regimens. RESULT A total of 14 studies with 14 636 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The results showed that the pooled ER of VPZ -containing regimens was much higher than that of PPI-containing regimens when used as first-line therapies. This difference was significant for both intention-to-treat (85.1% vs 68.0%, P < .00001) and per-protocol analyses (89.0% vs 74.2%, P < .00001). Moreover, subgroup analysis indicated significant superiority of VPZ in both patients with clarithromycin-resistant strains (81.5% vs 40.9%, P < .00001) and those with clarithromycin-susceptible strains (94.9% vs 89.6%, P = .006). However, VPZ did not show superiority to PPI as part of a second-line triple therapy based on both intention-to-treat (83.4% vs 82.0%, P = .79) and per-protocol analyses (89.3% vs 90.1%, P = .06). Finally, RCT subgroup analysis showed the safety of VPZ -containing regimens to be better than PPI-containing regimens (26.4% vs 33.3%, P = .008), whereas there was no significant difference in this regard for the NRCT subgroup analysis (5.7% vs 4.7%, P = .08). CONCLUSIONS The efficacy of VPZ is superior to PPI in first-line H. pylori triple eradication therapies but not in second-line therapies. The safety of VPZ -containing regimens appears to be equal or even superior to that of PPI. However, most reports included in this study had low levels of evidence. Hence, adequate and high-quality RCTs will be needed to support our results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Eradication therapies for Helicobacter pylori infection are advancing as new acid inhibitory reagents approved. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of vonoprazan-based triple treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Triple therapy with vonoprazan and two antibiotics (amoxicillin and clarithromycin or metronidazole) received focus in this analysis. We performed a multicenter retrospective study of patients who received vonoprazan-based eradication therapy between February 2015 and February 2016 and conducted a review of the literature. RESULTS The eradication rate among the 799 patients in our multicenter study was 94.4% (95% confidence interval [CI] 92.6-96.2%) in the per-protocol analysis for first-line treatment (with vonoprazan 20 mg, amoxicillin 750 mg, and clarithromycin 200 or 400 mg, twice a day for 7 days) and 97.1% (95% CI 93.0-101.1%) for second-line treatment (with vonoprazan 20 mg, amoxicillin 750 mg, and metronidazole 250 mg, twice a day for 7 days). The overall incidence of adverse events was 4.4% in an intention-to-treat analysis with no patients hospitalized. In a literature review, six reports, in which 1380 patients received vonoprazan-based first-line eradication therapy, were included and were all reported by Japanese researchers. The eradication success rates in per-protocol analysis were between 85 and 93%, which was roughly the same among the studies. CONCLUSIONS Vonoprazan-based triple therapy was effective and safe for Helicobacter pylori eradication in real-world experience, confirmed by a multicenter study and a review of the pertinent literature.

Abstract
Aim To assess the efficacy of 7-day first-line Helicobacter pylori eradication with vonoprazan (VPZ), clarithromycin (CAM), and metronidazole (MNZ) in patients with penicillin allergy. Methods Patients with penicillin allergy, diagnosed with Helicobacter pylori infection and did not have history of Helicobacter pylori eradication, were eligible for the study. Twenty patients were prospectively treated with 20 mg VPZ twice daily, 200 or 400 mg CAM twice daily, and 250 mg MNZ twice daily for 7 days. We also collected the data from 30 patients retrospectively treated with proton pump inhibitor (PPI), CAM, and MNZ. Safety was evaluated in patients completing an adverse effect questionnaire. Results Both the intention-to-treat and per-protocol effectiveness of VPZ-based eradication were 100% (95% CI: 86.1–100%; n = 20). The eradication rates of PPI-based regimen were 83.3% (95% CI: 65.3–94.4%) in the ITT and 82.7% (95% CI: 64.2–94.2%) in the PP analyses. Abdominal fullness was more frequent in VCM compared to PCM. However, all patients with VCM regimen had taken 100% of their course of medication. Conclusion Triple therapy with VPZ, CAM, and MNZ is well tolerated and effective for eradicating Helicobacter pylori in patients allergic to penicillin. This study was registered in the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry as UMIN000016335.

Abstract
Drug-drug interaction between antiacid and antiplatelet agents has not been fully elucidated. Vonoprazan, a new potassium competitive acid blocker, has been available in Japan. CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 are involved in the metabolism of clopidogrel, prasugrel, esomeprazole, and vonoprazan. Using a P2Y12 assay, we compared the effects of vonoprazan and esomeprazole on the antiplatelet functions of clopidogrel or prasugrel in 31 healthy Japanese volunteers (14 CYP2C19 homo-extensive (homo-EMs), nine hetero-extensive (hetero-EMs), and eight poor metabolizers (PMs)). Vonoprazan decreased the median inhibition of platelet aggregation (IPA) values of clopidogrel and prasugrel more potently than esomeprazole (P < 0.001 for clopidogrel and P = 0.011 for prasugrel). The same tendencies were observed when stratified by CYP2C19 genotype groups (P = 0.004 in homo-EMs, 0.033 in hetero-EMs, and 0.043 in PMs). Vonoprazan attenuated the antiplatelet function of clopidogrel more potently than esomeprazole. Esomeprazole did not affect that of prasugrel irrespective of CYP2C19 genotype.

Abstract
This review summarizes important studies regarding Helicobacter pylori therapy published from April 2016 to April 2017. The main themes that emerge involve studies assessing the efficacy of bismuth and nonbismuth quadruple regimens. While in recent years, much of the emphasis on the use of bismuth has focussed on its utility in a second-line setting, an increasing number of studies this year have shown excellent efficacy in first-line therapy. The efficacy of bismuth as a second-line after sequential and concomitant therapy was particularly noteworthy. Antibiotic resistance was more intensely studied this year than for a long time, and definite trends are presented regarding an increase in resistance, including the fact that clarithromycin resistance in particular is now at a level where the continued use of clarithromycin triple therapy first-line as a mainstream treatment is not recommended. Another exciting trend to emerge this year is the utility of vonoprazan as an alternative to PPI therapy, especially in resistant and difficult-to-treat groups.

Abstract
The rapidly declining prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection and widespread use of potent anti-secretory drugs means peptic ulcer disease has become substantially less prevalent than it was two decades ago. Management has, however, become more challenging than ever because of the threat of increasing antimicrobial resistance worldwide and widespread use of complex anti-thrombotic therapy in the ageing population. Peptic ulcers not associated with H pylori infection or the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are now also imposing substantial diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This Seminar aims to provide a balanced overview of the latest advances in the pathogenetic mechanisms of peptic ulcers, guidelines on therapies targeting H pylori infection, approaches to treatment of peptic ulcer complications associated with anti-inflammatory analgesics and anti-thrombotic agents, and the unmet needs in terms of our knowledge and management of this increasingly challenging condition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in Japan and the trends of its eradication therapy before and after the changes of the insurance coverage policy, first started in 2000, and expanded to cover H. pylori-positive gastritis in 2013. The impacts that the changes brought were estimated. METHODS In this retrospective observational study and simulation study based on health insurance claims data, product sales data and relevant studies, individuals who received triple therapy (amoxicillin, clarithromycin, proton-pump inhibitors or potassium-competitive acid blockers) were defined as the first-time patients for H. pylori eradication in two Japanese health insurance claims databases (from approximately 1.6 million and 10.5 million individuals). Each sales data of eradication packages and examination kits were used to estimate the number of H. pylori-eradicated individuals nationwide. The prevalence of H. pylori infection, including the future rate, was predicted using previous studies and the estimated population trend by a national institute. Cases completed prior to the policy change on insurance coverage were simulated to estimate what would have happened had there been no change in the policy. RESULTS The numbers of patients first received eradication therapy were 81 119 and 170 993 from two databases. The nationwide estimated number of patients successfully eradicated was approximately 650 000 per year between 2001 and 2012, whereas it rapidly rose to 1 380-000 per year in 2013. The estimated prevalence of infection in 2050 is 5%, this rate was estimated to be 28% and 22% if the policy changes had not occurred in 2000 and 2013, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The impact of policy changes for H. pylori eradication therapy on the prevalence of infection was shown. The results suggest that insurance coverage expansion may also reduce the prevalence in other countries with a high prevalence of H. pylori infection if the reinfection is low.

Abstract
In this review, we discuss the problem of antibiotic resistance, heteroresistance, the utility of cultures and antibiotic susceptibility tests in Helicobacter pylori (Hp) eradication, as well as the updated treatment strategies for this infection. The prevalence of antibiotic resistance is increasing all over the world, especially for metronidazole and clarithromycin, because of their heavy use in some geographical areas. Heteroresistance (simultaneous presence of both susceptible and resistant strains in different sites of a single stomach) is another important issue, as an isolate could be mistakenly considered susceptible if a single biopsy is used for antimicrobial tests. We also examined literature data regarding eradication success rates of culture-guided and empiric therapies. The empiric therapy and the one based on susceptibility testing, in Hp eradication, may depend on several factors such as concomitant diseases, the number of previous antibiotic treatments, differences in bacterial virulence in individuals with positive or negative cultures, together with local antibiotic resistance patterns in real-world settings. Updated treatment strategies in Hp infection presented in the guidelines of the Toronto Consensus Group (2016) are reported. These suggest to prolong eradication therapy up to 14 days, replacing the old triple therapy with a quadruple therapy based on proton pump inhibitor (PPI), bismuth, metronidazole, and tetracycline for most of the patients, or as an alternative quadruple therapy without bismuth, based on the use of PPI, amoxicillin, metronidazole, and clarithromycin. The new drug vonoprazan, a first-in-class potassium-competitive acid blocker recently approved in Japan, is also considered to be a promising solution for Hp eradication, even for clarithromycin-resistant strains. Furthermore, there is growing interest in finding new therapeutic strategies, such as the development of vaccines or the use of natural resources, including probiotics, plants, or nutraceuticals.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) display a number of limitations and unmet clinical needs that have prompted the development of novel drugs to improve the outcomes of acid-related diseases, including the eradication of H. pylori. In this context, a new synthesized potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB), vonoprazan, showed higher suppression of gastric acid secretion. Areas covered: This review discusses the current knowledge regarding the efficacy of vonoprazan in the treatment of acid-related diseases, with a particular focus on its use in Helicobacter pylori eradication. Expert opinion: Vonoprazan showed some advantages over PPIs in terms of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile: fast onset of action without requiring acid activation and specific administration timing, more potent and prolonged inhibition of acid secretion, including a better nighttime acid control, and a less antisecretory variability. Recent evidence suggests that vonoprazan can be preferred to PPIs as maintenance therapy for reflux esophagitis and eradication of Helicobacter pylori owing to its stronger antisecretory effect. Moreover, vonoprazan displays favorable safety and tolerability profiles, even though long-term studies on the effects of vonoprazan are required.

Jung YS, Kim EH, Park CH. Systematic review with meta-analysis: the efficacy of vonoprazan-based triple therapy on Helicobacter pylori eradication. Aliment Pharmacol Ther 2017; 46:106-114. [PMID: 28497487 DOI: 10.1111/apt.14130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 121] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2017] [Revised: 03/05/2017] [Accepted: 04/13/2017] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In order to increase eradication rates, vonoprazan, a novel potassium-competitive acid blocker, has been used in Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy. AIM To summarise the results of the efficacy of vonoprazan-based triple therapy, helping clinicians to better understand the benefit of vonoprazan in the treatment of H. pylori infection. METHODS We conducted a systematic literature search on MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library using the primary keywords "vonoprazan," "takecab", "TAK-438," "potassium," "competitive," "potassium-competitive," "Helicobacter," and "pylori." Studies were included if they evaluated the eradication rate between the vonoprazan-based and proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-based triple therapies. RESULTS Ten studies and 10 644 patients were evaluated. The crude H. pylori eradication rate determined by intention-to-treat analysis was 87.9% and 72.8% in the vonoprazan-based triple therapy and PPI-based triple therapy respectively. The eradication rate of the vonoprazan-based triple therapy was superior to that of the PPI-based triple therapy (pooled risk ratio [RR] [95% confidence interval (CI)]=1.19 [1.15-1.24]) In addition, there was no significant difference in dropout rate due to adverse event between the regimens (pooled RR of the vonoprazan-based triple therapy [95% CI]=0.69 [0.23-2.03]). The incidence of any adverse events also did not differ between the regimens (pooled RR [95% CI]=1.02 [0.78-1.34]). CONCLUSIONS The vonoprazan-based triple therapy showed superior efficacy in terms of H. pylori eradication as compared to the PPI-based triple therapy. In addition, the vonoprazan-based triple therapy showed comparable tolerability and incidence of adverse events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although all Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-positive patients should receive eradication therapy, the therapy is a challenge for patients allergic to penicillin. There have been a few reports on the efficacy of eradication therapy for such patients. OBJECTIVE To analyze the efficacy of vonoprazan or proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-based 7-day triple therapy in patients allergic to penicillin. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 88 consecutive patients allergic to penicillin who received H. pylori eradication therapy were retrospectively analyzed. Thirty-one patients had a history of failed eradication therapy. Four 7-day regimens were prescribed during the study period: clarithromycin-metronidazole-PPI (13 patients), clarithromycin-metronidazole-vonoprazan (14 patients), metronidazole-sitafloxacin-PPI (44 patients) and metronidazole-sitafloxacin-vonoprazan (17 patients). A 13 C-urea breath test was used for confirmation of eradication, and efficacy of eradication was evaluated by "intention-to-treat" analysis and "per-protocol" analysis. RESULTS Intention-to-treat and per-protocol eradication rates were 46.2%/54.6% for patients who received clarithromycin-metronidazole-PPI, 92.9/92.9% for patients who received clarithromycin-metronidazole-vonoprazan, 100/100% for patients who received metronidazole-sitafloxacin-PPI and 88.2/93.8% for patients who received metronidazole-sitafloxacin-vonoprazan. For first eradication, vonoprazan significantly raised the intention-to-treat efficacy of the triple therapy including clarithromycin-metronidazole (vonoprazan: 92.9%, PPI: 46.2%, P=.0128). A 7-day regimen consisting of metronidazole and sitafloxacin was effective for patients allergic to penicillin with or without past failure of eradication. CONCLUSION For first eradication in patients allergic to penicillin, a 7-day triple therapy consisting of clarithromycin, metronidazole and vonoprazan could be a candidate eradication regimen.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aims of the study were: 1, to survey the most popular anti-H. pylori regimens in Asia-Pacific region and the real-world effectiveness of these regimens; and 2, to investigate the expectation gaps of eradication rate between physicians and patients. DESIGN A questionnaire was distributed to Asia-Pacific physicians who attended the Asia-Pacific Digestive Week 2015 meeting. Reported eradication rates from the literatures were compared with real-world rates of surveyed popular regimens within the region. In addition, a questionnaire was distributed to H. pylori-infected patients in three regions of Taiwan. RESULTS A total of 691 physicians and 539 patients participated in the survey. The top five most commonly used regimens were 7-day clarithromycin-based standard triple therapy (50.4%), 14-day clarithromycin-based standard triple therapy (31.0%), 10-day sequential therapy (6.1%), 14-day bismuth quadruple therapy (3.9%), and 14-day hybrid therapy (3.6%). All countries except for China had a significant gap between the expectation of physicians on anti-H. pylori therapy and the real-world eradication rate of most commonly adopted regimens (all P value <.05). The expectation on minimal eradication rate among patients was higher than that of physicians (91.4% vs 86.5%, P<.001). CONCLUSIONS It is time for physicians in Asia-Pacific countries to adopt newer and more efficacious anti-H. pylori regimens to meet the Kyoto consensus recommendation and their patients' expectations.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a common gastrointestinal bacterial strain closely associated with the incidence of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers, gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, and gastric cancer. A current research and clinical challenge is the increased rate of antibiotic resistance in H. pylori, which has led to a decreased H. pylori eradication rate. In this article, we review recent H. pylori infection and reinfection rates and H. pylori resistance to antibiotics, and we discuss the pertinent treatments. A PubMed literature search was performed using the following keywords: Helicobacter pylori, infection, reinfection, antibiotic resistance, bismuth, proton pump inhibitors, vonoprazan, susceptibility, quintuple therapy, dual therapy, and probiotic. The prevalence of H. pylori has remained high in some areas despite the decreasing trend of H. pylori prevalence observed over time. Additionally, the H. pylori reinfection rate has varied in different countries due to socioeconomic and hygienic conditions. Helicobacter pylori monoresistance to clarithromycin, metronidazole or levofloxacin was common in most countries. However, the prevalence of amoxicillin and tetracycline resistance has remained low. Because H. pylori infection and reinfection present serious challenges and because H. pylori resistance to clarithromycin, metronidazole or levofloxacin remains high in most countries, the selection of an efficient regimen to eradicate H. pylori is critical. Currently, bismuth-containing quadruple therapies still achieve high eradication rates. Moreover, susceptibility-based therapies are alternatives because they may avoid the use of unnecessary antibiotics. Novel regimens, e.g., vonoprazan-containing triple therapies, quintuple therapies, high-dose dual therapies, and standard triple therapies with probiotics, require further studies concerning their efficiency and safety for treating H. pylori.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori is an important human pathogen, associated with a substantial burden from both malignant and non-malignant diseases. The bacterium is classed as a human carcinogen, being strongly linked with gastric cancer, the third most common cause of cancer death worldwide and is also associated with common conditions such as dyspepsia and peptic ulcer. Eradication of H. pylori reduces the incidence of gastric cancer and peptic ulcer, as well as the prevalence and costs of managing dyspepsia. Economic analyses suggest that eradication of H. pylori as a means of controlling gastric cancer is cost-effective in high-risk populations. Even in populations at low risk of gastric cancer, there might be other benefits arising from screening and treatment, owing to the effects on non-malignant upper gastrointestinal diseases. However, public health authorities have been slow to consider the benefits of population-based screening and treatment as a means of reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with the infection. There are also concerns about widespread use of eradication therapy, including antimicrobial resistance and a rise in the prevalence of diseases that are negatively associated with H. pylori, such as GERD, Barrett oesophagus, asthma and obesity. This Review summarizes these issues.

Abstract
Background Gastroprotective agents are recommended for patients receiving low-dose aspirin (LDA) or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Vonoprazan is a potassium-competitive acid blocker recently approved for the prevention of peptic ulcer recurrence in patients receiving LDA or NSAIDs. Methods This phase 2, open-label, single-center study in healthy Japanese males evaluated drug–drug interactions between vonoprazan 40 mg and LDA (100 mg) or NSAIDs [loxoprofen sodium (60 mg), diclofenac sodium (25 mg), or meloxicam (10 mg)] and vice versa. Subjects were allocated to one of eight cohorts and received their orally administered treatment regimen (to assess the effect of vonoprazan vs. NSAID or LDA, or vice versa) once daily. Endpoints were the pharmacokinetics of plasma concentrations of the study drugs alone and in combination (primary), safety (secondary), and vonoprazan effects on aspirin-mediated inhibition of platelet-aggregation. Results Of 109 subjects screened, 64 were assigned to one of eight cohorts (n = 8 per cohort) and received treatment, one subject discontinued due to a treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE), and 63 completed the study. There were few differences in the pharmacokinetics of vonoprazan when administered with LDA or NSAIDs, and few differences in the pharmacokinetics of LDA or NSAIDs when administered with vonoprazan. The differences were small and not clinically meaningful. Inhibition of arachidonic-induced platelet aggregation by LDA was not influenced by vonoprazan. Six patients experienced a TEAE, all were mild and were deemed unrelated to study drugs. One subject withdrew due to infection (tonsillitis). Conclusions No clinically meaningful drug–drug interactions were observed and vonoprazan was well tolerated when administered with LDA or NSAIDs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Vonoprazan (VPZ) is a new oral potassium-competitive acid blocker that has recently become available. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of VPZ on the urease activity of H. pylori as measured by the 13C-urea breath test (13C-UBT). PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 60 patients (26 men, 34 women; mean age 53.2 ± 13.6 years) who were diagnosed as H. pylori-positive were recruited. The patients were randomly allocated to three treatment groups: lansoprazole (LPZ) 30 mg (n = 20), VPZ 20 mg (n = 20) once daily for 3 weeks, or the control group (n = 20). The 13C-UBT was carried out at baseline and after 3 weeks of treatment, and the baseline and after treatment results then compared. Δ13C‰ ≥ 2.5‰ was considered H. pylori-positive. RESULTS Four patients failed to complete the medication and were omitted from the analysis; data from the LPZ group (n = 18), VPZ group (n = 18), and control group (n = 20) were analyzed. The control group showed no significant change in 13C-UBT data between baseline and the completion of 3-week treatment (baseline: 26.6 ± 23.0‰, completion: 21.1 ± 13.1‰). The 13C-UBT data at week 3 were significantly decreased in both the VPZ group (baseline: 32.8 ± 22.7‰, completion: 7.6 ± 9.2‰, p = 0.0002) and the LPZ group (baseline: 41.8 ± 33.4‰; completion: 9.6 ± 8.8‰, p = 0.0006) compared to baseline. CONCLUSIONS VPZ treatment reduced the value of UBT, warning that UBT for patients with VPZ treatment should be evaluated carefully.

Abstract
Background. There are several diagnostic methods for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. A cost-effective analysis is needed to decide on the optimal diagnostic method. The aim of this study was to determine a cost-effective diagnostic method in patients with atrophic gastritis (AG). Methods. A decision-analysis model including seven diagnostic methods was constructed for patients with AG diagnosed by esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Expected values of cost and effectiveness were calculated for each test. Results. If the prevalence of H. pylori in the patients with AG is 85% and CAM-resistant H. pylori is 30%, histology, stool H. pylori antigen (SHPAg), bacterial culture (BC), and urine H. pylori antibody (UHPAb) were dominated by serum H. pylori IgG antibody (SHPAb), rapid urease test (RUT), and urea breath test (UBT). Among three undominated methods, the incremental cost-effective ratios (ICER) of RUT versus SHPAb and UBT versus RUT were $214 and $1914, respectively. If the prevalence of CAM-sensitive H. pylori was less than 55%, BC was not dominated, but its H. pylori eradication success rate was 0.86. Conclusions. RUT was the most cost-effective at the current prevalence of CAM-resistant H. pylori. BC could not be selected due to its poor effectiveness even if CAM-resistant H. pylori was more than 45%.

Abstract
The effects of patient age on the efficacy of eradication treatment for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) remain unclear. The present study aimed to determine whether age affects eradication therapy involving vonoprazan, a novel potassium-competitive acid blocker (PCAB). We reviewed the cases of 3,261 patients who were administered first-line and second-line H. pylori eradication therapy at Toyoshima Endoscopy Clinic. The first-line treatment was clarithromycin and amoxicillin combined with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) or a PCAB. The second-line treatment was metronidazole and amoxicillin combined with a PPI or PCAB. The patients were divided into a young to middle-aged group (age ≤50 years) and an older group (age >50 years) as well as into PPI and PCAB groups. The PPI-clarithromycin-amoxicillin regimen demonstrated a significantly lower H. pylori eradication rate than the PCAB-clarithromycin-amoxicillin regimen (p<0.001). With the PPI-clarithromycin-amoxicillin regimen, the eradication rate in the young to middle-aged group was significantly lower than that in the older group (p<0.001). Lastly, age had no impact on the eradication rate of PCAB-based therapy or metronidazole-based therapy. In conclusion, with clarithromycin-based triple therapy, PCAB is a better choice of antisecretory agent compared to PPIs, especially in young to middle-aged patients.
