The Effect of Tegoprazan on the Treatment of Endoscopic Resection-Induced Artificial Ulcers: A Multicenter, Randomized, Active-Controlled Study. Gut Liver 2024; 18:257-264. [PMID: 38384180 PMCID: PMC10938149 DOI: 10.5009/gnl230242] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2023] [Revised: 08/18/2023] [Accepted: 08/22/2023] [Indexed: 02/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Background/Aims : Tegoprazan is a novel potassium-competitive acid blocker that has beneficial effects on acid-related disorders such as gastroesophageal reflux and peptic ulcer diseases. This study aimed to validate the effect of tegoprazan on endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD)-induced artificial ulcers. Methods : Patients from 16 centers in Korea who underwent ESD for gastric neoplasia were enrolled. After ESD, pantoprazole was administered intravenously for 48 hours. The patients were randomly allocated to either the tegoprazan or esomeprazole group. Tegoprazan 50 mg or esomeprazole 40 mg were administered for 4 weeks, after which gastroscopic evaluation was performed. If the artificial ulcer had not healed, the same dose of tegoprazan or esomeprazole was administered for an additional 4 weeks, and a gastroscopic evaluation was performed. Results : One hundred sixty patients were enrolled in this study. The healing rates of artificial ulcers at 4 weeks were 30.3% (23/76) and 22.1% (15/68) in the tegoprazan and esomeprazole groups, respectively (p=0.006). At 8 weeks after ESD, the cumulative ulcer healing rates were 73.7% (56/76) and 77.9% (53/68) in the tegoprazan and esomeprazole groups, respectively (p=0.210). Delayed bleeding occurred in two patients in the tegoprazan group (2.6%) and in one patient in the esomeprazole group (1.5%). Other adverse events were negligible in both groups. Conclusions : Tegoprazan showed similar effects on post-ESD artificial ulcer healing in comparison with esomeprazole.

Chen L, Jiang D, Hu D, Cui X. Comparison of vonoprazan and proton pump inhibitors for the treatment of gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection-induced ulcer: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis. BMC Gastroenterol 2024; 24:110. [PMID: 38491413 PMCID: PMC10943859 DOI: 10.1186/s12876-024-03198-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 03/08/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Both vonoprazan and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are currently used to treat artificial ulcers after gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection. However, evidence-based medicine proving the efficacy of vonoprazan is still lacking. Therefore, this meta-analysis aimed to compare the efficacy of vonoprazan and PPIs for the treatment of artificial ulcers after gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection. METHODS The PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library databases were searched up to September 2023 for related randomized controlled trials (RCTs). RCTs that compared the efficacy of vonoprazan and PPIs in treating artificial gastric ulcers after gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection were included. Two independent reviewers screened the included studies, extracted the data and assessed the risk of bias. The following outcomes were extracted for comparison: ulcer healing rate, ulcer shrinkage rate, delayed postoperative bleeding rate, and ulcer perforation rate. RESULTS Nine randomized controlled trials involving 926 patients were included. The pooled results showed that vonoprazan had a significantly lower rate of delayed postoperative bleeding than did PPIs (RR = 0.46; 95% CI = 0.23-0.91; P = 0.03). No significant differences were found in terms of ulcer healing, shrinkage rates, or ulcer perforation rates between vonoprazan and PPIs. CONCLUSIONS Compared with PPIs, vonoprazan is superior at reducing delayed postoperative bleeding after endoscopic submucosal dissection. However, further studies are needed to prove the efficacy of vonoprazan. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION Identifier CRD42024509227.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Keverprazan is a novel potassium-competitive acid blocker for the treatment of acid-related diseases. AIMS To evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and food effect of single oral doses of keverprazan in healthy Chinese subjects. METHODS In the dose-escalated phase Ia trial, the first 8 subjects received keverprazan 5 mg, the others successively entered 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, 60 mg groups and were randomized to receive keverprazan (n = 8), lansoprazole (LSZ) 30 mg (n = 2) or placebo (n = 2) in each dose group. The phase Ib study randomly enrolled subjects to the fasting-fed (n = 7) or fed-fasting (n = 7) groups for evaluating the food effect of keverprazan. RESULTS Twenty (35.71%) adverse events (AEs) occurred in phase Ia, including 13 (32.50%), 3 (37.50%), and 4 (50.00%) AEs in the keverprazan, placebo, and LSZ groups, respectively. Four (28.57%) AEs occurred in Phase Ib. The Tmax of keverprazan was 1.25-1.75 h. Cmax and AUC increased with the dose, and the t1/2, CL/F were 6.00-7.17 h, 88.8-198 L/h, respectively. The intragastric pH >5 holding-time ratio (HTR) increased with the dose but reached a ceiling at 20 mg. In the 30 mg LSZ and 5-60 mg keverprazan groups, the intragastric pH >5 HTRs during 24 h were 57.1%±26.4%, 7.9%±8.1%, 26.2%±22.8%, 80.2%±8.8%, 88.1%±8.6%, and 93.0%±1.7%, respectively. The geometric mean ratios (90% CI) of Cmax and AUC0-∞ of keverprazan in plasma under the fed vs. fasting state were 126.8% (109.0%-147.5%) and 134.9% (123.8%-146.9%). CONCLUSION Keverprazan is tolerable, and provides significant stable and lasting inhibition efficacy of intragastric acidity at 20 mg.

Abstract
Keverprazan, a novel potassium-competitive acid blocker, was approved for treating acid-related diseases. This study aimed to analyze the safety, pharmacokinetics (PKs) and pharmacodynamics (PDs) of multiple doses of keverprazan. This was a randomized, positive-/placebo-controlled, phase Ic trial. Twenty-six healthy adults were randomized to receive 20 mg/day keverprazan (n = 8), 40 mg/day keverprazan (n = 8), placebo (n = 6), or 20 mg/day vonoprazan (n = 4) for 7 days. Safety, PK and PD assessments were conducted. In the keverprazan, vonoprazan, and placebo groups, adverse events (AEs) were reported in nine (56.25%), two (50.00%), and three (50.00%) subjects, respectively. AEs were mild except a moderate abdominal pain leading to withdraw. No serious AEs occurred. The plasma concentration-time profiles of keverprazan showed rapid absorption (median time to maximum plasma concentration of 1.25-3.0 h). The terminal half-life was 6.23 and 7.01 h for keverprazan 20 and 40 mg groups on day 7. The maximum plasma concentration was 43.1 and 93.2 ng/mL, respectively. There was no apparent accumulation of keverprazan and the major metabolite after 7-day administration. The intragastric pH greater than 5 holding time ratios (HTRs) over 24 h postdose increased from 79.1%, 84.4%, and 84.5% on day 1 to 99.0%, 97.4%, and 100.0% on day 7 in the vonoprazan 20 mg and keverprazan 20 and 40 mg groups, respectively. The intragastric pH greater than 5 HTR of keverprazan reached a plateau at 20 mg. Keverprazan is well-tolerable. A steady-state in exposure was generally reached after 7 days of treatment. A dose of 20 mg/day keverprazan can elicit a significant, stable, and long-lasting gastric acid inhibition effect.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vonoprazan is a potassium competitive acid blocker (P-CAB) approved in Japan in 2014 to treat endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD)-induced ulcers and bleeding or perforation. Therefore, this meta-analysis aimed to determine whether Vonoprazan is more effective than Lansoprazole in the treatment of ESD-induced ulcers which include ulcer healing and shrinking rate, among others. METHODS Randomized controlled trials (RCT) and retrospective studies were collected from the PubMed (Medline), Embase, Web of science and Cochrane Library databases. Meanwhile, studies were selected according to predetermined qualification criteria and data were extracted by two researchers. The quality of the methods for published papers was evaluated using the modified Jadad scale. RESULTS Five studies were included in this meta-analysis, the ulcer healing rate effect was not significantly higher in the intervention groups than in the control groups at 4 weeks, [OR:1.07 (0.51, 2.22), 95% CI, I2=2%, Z=0.18, P=0.86]. There was no significant difference in the ulcer shrinkage rate at 4 weeks [MD:0.20 (-1.51, 1.92), 95% CI, I2=0%, P=0.82] and 8 weeks [MD: -0.09 (-0.30, 0.12), 95% CI, I2=0%, P=0.39]. CONCLUSION There was no significant difference between Vonoprazan and Lansoprazole in the ulcers induced by treatment after 4 weeks and 8 weeks of treatment with ESD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vonoprazan, a potassium-competitive acid blocker (VPZ), significantly reduces postoperative bleeding after gastric ESD; however, there is no consensus on the appropriate treatment duration. We conducted a randomized controlled study to demonstrate that the 3-week administration of VPZ is not inferior to the 8-week administration for ulcer healing. METHODS This is a prospective, open-label multicenter randomized controlled trial. Patients aged 20-85 years undergoing gastric ESD were included in this study. The key exclusion criteria were patients with bleeding tendencies and those taking NSAIDs, steroids, PPIs, or VPZ medications. Eligible patients were randomly assigned to the VPZ 3w or 8w treatment group. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients with complete closure of the post-ESD wound at 24 weeks after ESD. The key secondary endpoints included the proportion of patients with complete closure of the post-ESD wound at 8 weeks and the proportion of bleeding or perforation more than 3 weeks after ESD. RESULTS From May 2018 to October 2020, 234 patients were included. The proportion of patients with complete ulcer closure was significantly lower in the 3w group than in the 8w group (70.8% vs. 90.6%) at 8 weeks post-treatment. The complete closure rates at 24 weeks in the 3w and 8w groups were 99.1% and 99.2%, respectively. The absolute difference in the closure rate at 24 weeks was - 0.059% [95% confidence interval (CI) -3.4% to 3.2], and the lower limit of the 95% CI exceeded -10%, the preset threshold. None of the patients developed delayed bleeding 3 weeks after ESD. CONCLUSION This multicenter randomized study demonstrated that 3 weeks of treatment with VPZ is sufficient for ulcer healing.
