Abstract
The use of acid suppression therapy (AST) is a common approach for managing a wide spectrum of acid peptic disorders. Histamine type 2-receptor antagonists (H2RAs) and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the most widely prescribed AST in routine clinical practice. However, an exponential surge in the prescriptions of PPIs, such as Omeprazole, Esomeprazole, Pantoprazole, Lansoprazole in recent years and their associated adverse effects have raised concern about their inappropriate and overuse, both in children and adults. To address these issues, a three-step modified Delphi polling process was employed to establish best practice consensus statements for rationalizing the use of acid suppressants. A multidisciplinary expert panel of 13 health professionals across medical specialties, including gastroenterologists, hepatologists, pediatric gastroenterologists, pediatricians, otolaryngologists, cardiologists, nephrologists, gynecologist and orthopedists actively contributed to this collaborative process of consensus development. The expert panel proposed 21 consensus statements providing best practice points on the general use and safety of acid suppressants based on a comprehensive review of scientific literature and clinical expertise. The panel also collaboratively developed a PPI deprescribing algorithm. Altogether, this consensus paper offers evidence-based recommendations and guidance for the rational use of acid suppressants with a blueprint for deprescribing PPIs. This consensus paper contributes to aiding primary care practitioners in improving patient outcomes and minimizing healthcare costs. Additionally, it enhances patient safety and curtail inappropriate usage. How to cite this article Prabhoo RY, Pai UA, Wadhwa A, et al.

Abstract
Tacrolimus is a calcineurin inhibitor used to prevent rejection in allogenic solid organ transplant recipients, which is metabolized in the liver with cytochrome P450 isoforms 3A4 and 3A5 (CYP3A4, CYP3A5). In turn, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), such as Omeprazole - a substrate and inhibitor of CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 enzymes - are administered to kidney transplant patients in order to prevent duodenal and gastric ulcer disease, associated with the glucocorticoid treatment. Simultaneous administration of both drugs in renal patients has the potential to trigger drug interactions. In fact, there are several mechanisms which may impact the pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus. Inhibition of the CYP2C19 isoform may suppress the metabolism of omeprazole, subsequently altering its metabolic pathway to be metabolized by the CYP3A4 enzyme in order to maintain adequate biotransformation. Therefore, the competition for CYP3A4 may affect the metabolism of tacrolimus and result in its increased plasma concentrations, as well as in adverse reactions. Another mechanism has been related to the genetic polymorphism of the CYP2C19 isoform. Since all these interactions may lead to dysfunctions of the transplanted kidney, it seems significant to eliminate their consequences, for instance via the administration of drugs which are neither substrates, nor inhibitors of the CYP3A4 enzyme. Finally, the nephrotoxic effect of omeprazole should also be accounted for. Bearing in mind the aforementioned observations, the aim of the presented paper was to review the available studies addressing the effect of omeprazole on the pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Various adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are associated with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). However, the effects of PPIs on the renal system are unclear so far. Thus, the main objective of the current study was to identify the possible signals of PPIs in the renal system. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data mining algorithms such as proportional reporting ratio i.e. PRR (≥2) with associated chi-squared value (>4), reporting odds ratio i.e. ROR (≥2) with 95% confidence interval and case count (≥3) were calculated to identify a possible signal. RESULTS The calculated PRR and ROR have indicated a positive signal of PPIs with suspected chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, renal failure, renal injury, and end-stage renal disease. The subgroup analysis results have shown a greater number of cases in the age group (18-64 years) as compared to other age groups whereas the number of cases in the female was found to be more as compared to males. The sensitivity analysis results have also shown no significant impact of concomitantly administered drugs on the outcome. CONCLUSION PPIs may be associated with various ADRs on the renal system.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are commonly used medications to treat acid-related conditions, including gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). Gastroenterology guidelines mention the importance of CYP2C19 in PPI metabolism and the influence of CYP2C19 genetic variations on variable responses to PPIs, but do not currently recommend the genotyping of CYP2C19 prior to prescribing PPIs. There are strong data to support the influence of CYP2C19 genetic variations on the pharmacokinetics of PPIs and clinical outcomes. Existing pharmacogenetic guideline recommendations for dose increases focus on H. pylori and erosive esophagitis indications, but PPIs are also the main therapy for treating GERD. Recent data suggest GERD patients being treated with a PPI may also benefit from genotype-guided dosing. We summarize the literature supporting this contention and highlight future directions for improved management of patients with GERD through precision medicine approaches.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury is common among hospitalized individuals, particularly those exposed to certain medications, and is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. In a pragmatic, open-label, National Institutes of Health-funded, parallel group randomized controlled trial (clinicaltrials.gov NCT02771977), we investigate whether an automated clinical decision support system affects discontinuation rates of potentially nephrotoxic medications and improves outcomes in patients with AKI. Participants included 5060 hospitalized adults with AKI and an active order for any of three classes of medications of interest: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors, or proton pump inhibitors. Within 24 hours of randomization, a medication of interest was discontinued in 61.1% of the alert group versus 55.9% of the usual care group (relative risk 1.08, 1.04 - 1.14, p = 0.0003). The primary outcome - a composite of progression of acute kidney injury, dialysis, or death within 14 days - occurred in 585 (23.1%) of individuals in the alert group and 639 (25.3%) of patients in the usual care group (RR 0.92, 0.83 - 1.01, p = 0.09). Trial Registration Clinicaltrials.gov NCT02771977.

Abstract
Proton Pump Inhibitors are used widely to manage many gastric acid-related conditions such as gastroesophageal disease, gastritis, esophagitis, Barrett's esophagus, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, peptic ulcer disease, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-associated ulcers, and Helicobacter pylori eradication, around the globe. This review article focuses on adverse effects associated with the long-term use of proton pump inhibitors. Various observational studies, clinical trials, and meta-analyses have established the adverse effects associated with the long-term use of proton pump inhibitors including renal disorders (acute interstitial nephritis, acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, and end-stage renal disease), cardiovascular risks (major adverse cardiovascular events, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, and stroke), fractures, infections (Clostridium difficile infection, community-acquired pneumonia, and Coronavirus disease 2019), micronutrient deficiencies (hypomagnesemia, anemia, vitamin B12 deficiency, hypocalcemia, hypokalemia), hypergastrinemia, cancers (gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, hepatic cancer), hepatic encephalopathy, and dementia. Clinicians including prescribers and pharmacists should be aware of the adverse effects of taking proton pump inhibitors for an extended period of time. In addition, the patients taking proton pump inhibitors for long-term should be monitored for the listed adverse effects. The American Gastroenterological association recommends a few non-pharmacological measures and the use of histamine 2 blockers to lessen gastrointestinal symptoms of gastroesophageal reflex disease and the utilization of proton pump inhibitors treatment if there is a definitive indication. Additionally, the American Gastroenterological association's Best Practice Advice statements emphasize deprescribing when there is no clear indication for proton pump inhibitors therapy.

Abstract
Background Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are among the most widely prescribed medications in clinical practice. However, there are also concerns about the potential risks of long-term PPI use. The present study aimed to examine the safety of PPIs and summarize their potential cardiac and vascular risks in a real-world setting. Methods This pharmacovigilance study extracted records between January 2015 and December 2019 from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. The association of seven PPI medications with cardiac and vascular events (CVEs) were evaluated. Two established pharmacovigilance methods, reporting odds ratio (ROR) and information components (IC) based statistical shrinkage, were used to measure disproportionality. Results In total 62,140 CVE records associated with PPI use were investigated. Women showed a higher proportion (54.37%) of PPI-associated CVEs. The median time from PPI initiation to CVE onset was 97 [interquartile range (IQR): 8–491] days, with the shortest median time of 42 days (IQR: 2–277 days) for esomeprazole, and the longest time of 389 days (IQR: 0–525 days) for dexlansoprazole. Although PPIs were not associated with elevated CVE risks compared those of the whole database (IC025/ROR025 = −0.39/0.74), various signals emerged. Despite some similarities exist between the PPIs, their cardiac and vascular safety profiles varied significantly. Pantoprazole showed the broadest spectrum of signals, from thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (IC025/ROR025 = 0.01/1.08) to renal haemangioma (IC025/ROR025 = 3.14/9.58). Esomeprazole showed the second-broadest spectrum of toxicities, ranging from duodenal ulcer hemorrhage (IC025/ROR025 = 0.07/1.28) to hypertensive nephropathy (IC025/ROR025 = 4.09/18.72). Vascular signals were more dominant than cardiac signals, suggesting that vascular function was more heavily affected. Hypertensive nephropathy, renal haemangioma, renal artery stenosis, and renal infarct had strong signals across most PPI regimens and merited further attention. Conclusions PPIs may inflict various CVEs, particularly those involving the vascular system, on the users. Given the wide range of onset times and different toxicity profiles for various PPI medications, they should be prescribed with caution.

Abstract
Background Pharmacological inhibition of angiogenesis via the vascular endothelial growth factor pathway is an important therapeutic target that prevents tumor growth and the formation of metastases. Although vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor (VPI) is well understood as a well-defined safety profile, few real-world studies are comparing the incidence, clinical features, and prognosis of the aneurysm and artery dissection. Methods and Results To evaluate and compare the links between different VPIs and aneurysm and artery dissection, we identified 634 reports with VPIs in the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System database ranging between January 2004 to March 2020. We used the reporting odds ratio for the association between the use of VPIs and aneurysm and artery dissection. The reporting odds ratio (3.68, 95%, 2.18‒6.23) shows that ramucirumab has a stronger correlation than other VPIs. The results show a significant difference in onset time (P<0.001). The median time to aneurysm and artery dissection was 79.5 (interquartile interval, 19.0-273.5) days after VPI administration. The results also show that VPI-associated aneurysm and artery dissection was reported more often in men (n=336, 59.68% versus n=227, 40.32%), and there were more cases in patients aged between 45 to 74 years than those <45 years (n=312, 68.12% versus n=18, 3.93%); patients aged ≥75 years accounted for 27.95% (n=128). Finally, the suspected drugs generally led to 19.98% deaths and 29.81% hospitalizations. Conclusions We identified signals for aneurysm and artery dissection following various VPIs in real-world practice via the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System, which represents the first step for continued pharmacovigilance investigation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are often prescribed beyond their medically-approved duration of use. Long-term PPI use has been linked with numerous adverse effects and contributes to polypharmacy. This study sought to understand the effect of evidence-based education to resident and faculty physicians on deprescribing inappropriate PPIs. We hypothesized that this educational intervention would result in fewer inappropriate PPI prescriptions. METHODS We performed a chart review on all adult patients in a family medicine residency program practice, identifying those inappropriately taking PPIs. All physicians in the practice participated in an educational intervention regarding deprescribing inappropriate PPIs and were given frequent reminders to continue their deprescribing efforts. We reviewed charts at the end of the study to identify patients with successful deprescribing attempts. RESULTS Of the 187 patients prescribed inappropriate PPIs in the study, 100 remained on PPIs at the end of the study (46.6% success rate). There was a significant decrease in the number of patients inappropriately prescribed PPIs by each physician over the course of the study, from a mean of 17.0 (beginning) to 9.1 (end). CONCLUSION Physician education with reminders is an effective means of reducing the number of inappropriate PPIs prescribed in a family medicine residency practice. Future studies could investigate the effectiveness of educational interventions with other medication classes that are often prescribed inappropriately.

Abstract
The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is rising exponentially in numerous cancers, but immune-related adverse events can occur. We report a rare case of high-grade drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome developed stepwise in a patient with gastric cancer after nivolumab treatment. Subclinical myocarditis was sensitively detected by cardiovascular magnetic resonance 3 weeks after initiating nivolumab. Eruption, eosinophilia, and interstitial pneumonitis occurred 1 week later. Corticosteroids were started and his condition improved. Four months later, when he was still on steroids tapering off, acute kidney injury and sequential herpes zoster virus activation developed. Severe acute tubulointerstitial nephritis (ATN) with an intense infiltration of lymphocytes was observed on renal biopsy. In blood, a substantial shift to Th2 response, an increase of Th17 cells, and strikingly enriched granzyme B+ and perforin+ CD8+ T cells were detected at ATN onset. Serum interleukin (IL)-5, IL-17, interferon gamma, and IL-6 levels were consistently elevated. Further molecular profiling identified a DRESS risk allele human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A*31:01 in this patient. His ATN responded favorably to a high dose of corticosteroids. In parallel, complete antitumor response was observed during the clinical course of DRESS. This is the first ever case report of nivolumab-associated DRESS syndrome with exploration of the mechanisms from the histopathological, cellular and molecular aspects. Nivolumab-induced DRESS may result from type IV hypersensitivity-related 'off-target effect' and PD-1 block-mediated 'on-target effect'. HLA risk alleles may constitute the genetic susceptible basis. HLA typing assay has the potential to screen susceptible individuals to avoid ICI-induced DRESS.

[PMID: 34169545 DOI: 10.1111/jcpt.13472] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2021] [Revised: 06/02/2021] [Accepted: 06/09/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE The adverse events of thyroid dysfunction caused by the use of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (VEGFR-TKIs) have not been confirmed in a real-world investigation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between thyroid dysfunction and treatment using Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved VEGFR-TKIs. METHODS Four data-mining algorithms were employed to detect thyroid dysfunction signals for VEGFR-TKIs, using data in the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database from 68 quarters. MySQL Workbench and R were used to conduct statistical analysis. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION We identified 32679 reports of thyroid dysfunction, of which 1567 listed VEGFR-TKIs as the primary suspected drugs. All four algorithms showed that the strength of the signals for hypothyroidism were greater than those for hyperthyroidism, for all the VEGFR-TKIs. In most cases, the median appearance time was within 100 days of initiation of VEGFR-TKIs therapy, except in the case of ponatinib. This indicated the need to actively identify and manage thyroid dysfunction during the early stages of VEGFR-TKIs treatment. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSIONS This study systematically identified the pharmacovigilance signals of thyroid dysfunction associated with the use of VEGFR-TKIs, using the FAERS database.

[PMID: 33574396 PMCID: PMC7878877 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-83099-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2020] [Accepted: 01/28/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) were widely used. Observational studies suggested increasing risk of kidney injury in patients with PPIs treatment. We gathered six PPI regimens and adverse reports of acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) based on US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database from 2004 to 2019. We employed reporting odds ratio (ROR) to detect signals. Finally, we identified 3187 PPIs-associated AKI cases and 3457 PPIs-associated CKD cases. We detected significant signals between PPIs and AKI as well as CKD. The signal strength was stronger for CKD (ROR = 8.80, 95% CI 8.49–9.13) than AKI (ROR = 3.95, 95% CI 3.81–4.10), while dexlansoprazole performed stronger association for CKD (ROR = 34.94, 95% CI 30.89–39.53) and AKI (ROR = 8.18, 95% CI 7.04–9.51) than the other five PPIs. The median time from PPIs use to event occurrence was 23 days for AKI and 177 days for CKD. PPIs-associated AKI resulted larger proportion of death, life-threatening, hospitalization and disability events than PPIs-associated CKD. By mining the FAERS big data, we provided more information between PPIs use and the AKI and CKD events. PPIs rational use should be repeatedly stressed.
