Abstract
BACKGROUND High-dose dual therapy (HDDT) using proton-pump inhibitors (PPI) and amoxicillin attracted attention for its simplicity and lower adverse event profile. Besides, vonoprazan is not available worldwide. This real-world study aims to compare the efficacy of esomeprazole-based and rabeprazole-based HDDT regimens and to identify clinical factors influencing outcomes. METHODS A retrospective study enrolled 346 Helicobacter pylori-infected naïve patients from January 2016 to August 2023. Patients were assigned to either a 14-day esomeprazole-based HDDT (EA-14; esomeprazole 40 mg t.i.d. and amoxicillin 750 mg q.i.d. for 14 days, n = 173) or a 14-day rabeprazole-based HDDT (RA-14; rabeprazole 20 mg and amoxicillin 750 mg q.i.d. for 14 days, n = 173). RESULTS Five patients from the EA-14 group and 10 from the RA-14 group were lost to follow-up, resulting in 168 and 163 patients for the per-protocol (PP) analysis, respectively. Eradication rates for the EA-14 and RA-14 groups were 90.2% and 80.9% (P = 0.014) in intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis; and 92.9% and 85.9% (P = 0.039) in PP analysis. Adverse event rates were similar between the two groups (11.9% vs 11.7%, P = 0.944). In multiple logistic regression analysis, age≧60 was associated with eradication failure (P = 0.046) and a trend of significance for smoking (P = 0.060) in the EA-14 group but not in the RA-14 group. A trend of significance was also observed for eradication regimens (EA-14 vs RA-14) (P = 0.071). The antibiotic resistance rates were amoxicillin (2.3%), clarithromycin (14.7%), metronidazole (40.3%), and dual resistance to clarithromycin and metronidazole (7.0%). CONCLUSIONS Esomeprazole-based HDDT achieved over 90% eradication rates but rabeprazole-based HDDT, which failed.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To review recent data describing the challenges and innovations in therapeutic research focused on the prevention and treatment of preeclampsia. RECENT FINDINGS Pregnant individuals have traditionally been excluded from therapeutic research, resulting in a paucity of innovation in therapeutics for pregnancy-specific medical conditions, especially preeclampsia. With the increased awareness of maternal morbidity and mortality, there is significant interest among researchers to expand therapeutic research in pregnancy. Several medications, including aspirin, pravastatin, metformin, and esomeprazole, which are commonly used in non-pregnant populations, are now being investigated for preeclampsia prevention. However, given the historic precedent of exclusion, along with the regulatory, ethical, and feasibility concerns that accompany this population, the study of these and novel medications has been complicated by numerous challenges. While complex, and laden with challenges, there is great ongoing need for therapeutic research to address preeclampsia. Aspirin, pravastatin, metformin, and esomeprazole have all shown promise as potential therapeutic agents; however, their use remains to be optimized, and innovative therapeutics need to be developed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treating Helicobacter pylori is becoming increasingly difficult with the development of bacterial resistance to many established treatment regimens. As a result, researchers are constantly looking for novel and effective treatments. This trial aims to establish the efficacy of levofloxacin-based sequential treatment regimen and concomitant levofloxacin-based regimen as empirical first-line therapy in the Syrian population. METHOD This is an open-label, prospective, single-center, parallel, active-controlled, superiority, randomized clinical trial. The recruitment will target Helicobacter pylori-positive males and females between the ages of 18 and 65 to evaluate the efficacy of empirical first-line therapy in the Syrian population. We are planning to recruit up to 300 patients which is twice the required sample size. One hundred fifty individuals will be randomly assigned to undergo either a sequential levofloxacin-based treatment regimen or a concomitant levofloxacin-based regimen. High-dose dual therapy (proton-pump inhibitor and amoxicillin) will be the rescue therapy in the event of first-line failure. The first-line eradication rate in both groups is the primary outcome, and one of the secondary outcomes is the overall eradication rate of high-dose dual therapy in the event of first-line treatment protocol failure. Intention-to-treat analysis and per-protocol analysis will be used to evaluate the eradication rates of Helicobacter pylori for first-line treatment protocols. DISCUSSION For the first time in the Syrian population, this randomized controlled trial will provide objective and accurate evidence about the efficacy of a sequential levofloxacin-based treatment regimen. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov NCT06065267 . Registered on October 3, 2023. Prospective registered. Enrollment of the first participant has not started yet.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the most effective drugs for treating acid-related disorders. However, once-daily dosing with conventional PPIs fail to fully control acid secretion over 24 h. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of HIP1601 (dual delayed-release esomeprazole) and HGP1705 (delayed-release esomeprazole) in patients with erosive esophagitis (EE). METHODS We enrolled 213 patients with EE randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive 40 mg HIP1601 (n = 107) or HGP1705 (n = 106) once daily for 4 or 8 weeks. The primary endpoint was the EE healing rate, confirmed by endoscopy up to week 8. GERD-related symptoms and treatment-emergent adverse events were compared between both groups. RESULTS By week 8, the estimated healing rates of EE were 97.8% and 96.8% in the HIP1601 and HGP1705 groups, respectively, with a 95% confidence interval of -4.7 to 7.2. After 4 or 8 weeks of treatment, the EE healing rate at week 4, complete resolution rate of symptoms, time to sustained resolution of symptoms, and number of rescue medications used were similar in both groups. The proportion of heartburn- and acid regurgitation-free nights by week 4 were higher in the HIP1601 group compared to the HGP1705 group, but the difference did not reach clinical significance (87.7% vs. 85.8%, P = 0.514, 87.5% vs. 85.8%, P = 0.774). The number of adverse events did not differ significantly between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS The efficacy and safety of HIP1601 40 mg were comparable to those of HGP1705 40 mg for the treatment of EE and symptomatic improvement of GERD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis is caused by dysregulated immune responses due to infection and still presents high mortality rate and limited efficacious therapies, apart from antibiotics. Recent evidence suggests that very high dose proton pump inhibitors might regulate major sepsis mediators' secretion by monocytes, which might attenuate excessive host reactions and improve clinical outcomes. This effect is obtained with doses which are approximately 50 times higher than prophylactic esomeprazole single daily administration and 17 times higher than the cumulative dose of a three day prophylaxis. We aim to perform a randomized trial to investigate if high dose esomeprazole reduces organ dysfunction in patients with sepsis or septic shock. METHODS This study, called PPI-SEPSIS, is a multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial on critically ill septic patients admitted to the emergency department or intensive care unit. A total of 300 patients will be randomized to receive high dose esomeprazole (80 mg bolus followed by 12 mg/h for 72 h and a second 80 mg bolus 12 h after the first one) or equivolume placebo (sodium chloride 0.9%), with 1:1 allocation. The primary endpoint of the study will be mean daily Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score over 10 days. Secondary outcomes will include antibiotic-free days, single organ failure severity, intensive care unit-free days at day 28, and mortality. DISCUSSION This trial aims to test the efficacy of high dose esomeprazole to reduce acute organ dysfunction in patients with septic shock. TRIAL REGISTRATION This trial was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov with the trial identification NCT03452865 in March 2018.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unclear whether the s (-) form of esomeprazole (EPZ) has an improved safety profile when compared with its racemic form omeprazole (OPZ). We assessed the potential complications of these optical isomers when combined with cilostazol, clopidogrel, and prasugrel, which are frequently used concomitant medications. METHODS Using two adverse event spontaneous reporting databases, Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report (JADER) and FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS), adverse event names for hemorrhage, venous/arterial embolization, and thrombus were obtained from the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities. Reported odds ratios were calculated using a 2 × 2 contingency table, and a signal was considered present if the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval was >1. RESULTS In combination with cilostazol, a hemorrhagic signal for OPZ in JADER and arterial emboli and thrombus signals for EPZ were detected in both databases. In combination with clopidogrel, OPZ showed arterial emboli and thrombus signals in JADER and venous/arterial emboli and thrombus signals in FAERS, while EPZ displayed arterial emboli and thrombus signals in FAERS. In contrast, when in combination with prasugrel, there were no adverse event signals in either database. CONCLUSION This study has confirmed using big data, that EPZ, the optical isomer and racemic form of omeprazole, has the beneficial characteristics of being less sensitive to CYP, as was intended by its design.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to identify novel compounds that could afford protection against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity by employing both cell- and zebrafish (Danio rerio)-based screening platforms. We screened 923 US Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs to identify potential compounds exhibiting protective effects against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity in HEI-OC1 cells (auditory hair cell line). The screening strategy identified esomeprazole and dexlansoprazole as the primary hit compounds. Subsequently, we examined the effects of these compounds on cell viability and apoptosis. Our results revealed that esomeprazole and dexlansoprazole inhibited organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2), thus providing in vitro evidence that these compounds could ameliorate cisplatin-induced ototoxicity by directly inhibiting OCT2-mediated cisplatin transport. In vivo, the protective effects were validated using zebrafish; esomeprazole was found to decrease cisplatin-induced hair cell damage in neuromasts. Furthermore, the esomeprazole-treated group showed a significantly lower number of TUNEL-positive cells than the cisplatin-treated group. Collectively, our findings revealed that esomeprazole exerts a protective effect against cisplatin-induced hair cell damage in both HEI-OC1 cells and a zebrafish model.

Abstract
Background/Aims Efficacy of proton pump inhibitors is limited in patients with nonerosive reflux disease (NERD). The aim of this study was to comparatively evaluate the efficacy and safety of esomeprazole with sodium bicarbonate and esomeprazole alone. Methods This was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, noninferiority comparative study. A total of 379 patients with NERD were randomly allocated to receive either EsoduoⓇ (esomeprazole 20 mg with sodium bicarbonate 800 mg) or NexiumⓇ (esomeprazole 20 mg) once daily for 4 weeks from January 2019 to December 2019. The patients had a history of heartburn for at least 2 days in the week before randomization as well as in the last 3 months and no esophageal mucosal breaks on endoscopy. The primary endpoint was a complete cure of heartburn at week 4. The secondary and exploratory endpoints as well as the safety profiles were compared in the groups at weeks 2 and 4. Results A total of 355 patients completed the study (180 in the EsoduoⓇ group and 175 in the NexiumⓇ group). The proportions of patients without heartburn in the entire 4th week of treatment were not different between the two groups (33.33% in the EsoduoⓇ group and 35% in the NexiumⓇ group, p=0.737). There were no significant differences in most of the secondary and exploratory endpoints as well as the safety profiles. Conclusions EsoduoⓇ is as effective and safe as NexiumⓇ for managing typical symptoms in patients with NERD (ClinicalTrial.gov identifier: NCT03928470).

Abstract
Histamine-2 receptor antagonists such as famotidine and proton pump inhibitors such as esomeprazole are commonly used in canine MCT disease, but direct effects on dog MCs have not been evaluated. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor which has been demonstrated to cause structural and functional changes to in vitro murine mast cells (MCs). It has not yet been determined if esomeprazole, the commercially available and commonly prescribed S-isomer of omeprazole, has similar effects. Our primary study objective was to evaluate and compare the effects of acid suppressants (esomeprazole and famotidine) on MC ultrastructure, viability, and function in vitro using both healthy and neoplastic MCs. Murine bone marrow derived mast cells (BMMC), human LAD2, and canine C2 and BR cells, were used for these studies, representing a single healthy (i.e., BMMCs) MC model and multiple neoplastic MC models (i.e., LAD2, C2, BR), respectively. The rat basophilic leukemic (RBL-2H3) and canine B cell lymphoma 17-71 cell lines served as granulocytic and agranulocytic control lines for experiments, respectively. The treatment effect of acid suppressants on MC ultrastructure was assessed via both light and transmission electron microscopy. Differences in MC viability was assessed between groups via MTS-based, colorimetric assays and flow cytometry. Degranulation was assessed by quantification of β-hexosaminidase (i.e., LAD2 and RBL-2H3). Esomeprazole-treated MCs of all lines exhibited dramatic time and concentration-dependent alterations in ultrastructure (i.e., increased vacuolization, compromise of cell membrane), increased apoptosis, and altered degranulation responses in comparison to famotidine and vehicle-treated cells. The canine B cell lymphoma cells consistently exhibited either no significant (i.e., cytotoxicity assays) or greatly diminished treatment responses (i.e., apoptosis) compared to MCs. Esomeprazole, but not famotidine, induces significant cytotoxicity, as well as alterations to cell structure and function to multiple lines of in vitro neoplastic MCs. Continued in vitro work investigating the specific mechanisms by which proton pump inhibitors induce these effects, as well as prospective, in vivo work comparing the treatment effects of acid suppressants on canine MCTs, are warranted.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to explore the time-course of hospitalization due to hyponatremia associated with omeprazole and esomeprazole. METHODS In this register-based case-control study, we compared patients hospitalized with a main diagnosis of hyponatremia (n = 11,213) to matched controls (n = 44,801). We used multiple regression to investigate time-related associations between omeprazole and esomeprazole and hospitalization because of hyponatremia. RESULTS The overall adjusted OR (aOR) between proton pump inhibitor (PPI) exposure, regardless of treatment duration and hospitalization with a main diagnosis of hyponatremia, was 1.23 (95% confidence interval CI 1.15-1.32). Exposure to PPIs was associated with a prompt increase in risk of hospitalization for hyponatremia from the first week (aOR 6.87; 95% CI 4.83-9.86). The risk then gradually declined, reaching an aOR of 1.64 (0.96-2.75) the fifth week. The aOR of ongoing PPI treatment was 1.10 (1.03-1.18). CONCLUSION The present study shows a marked association between omeprazole and esomeprazole and hyponatremia related to recently initiated treatment. Consequently, newly initiated PPIs should be considered a potential culprit in any patient suffering from hyponatremia. However, if the patient has had this treatment for a longer time, the PPI should be considered a less likely cause.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing antibiotic-resistant Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) strains complicate efforts to eradicate infection. In regions with high dual resistance to both clarithromycin and metronidazole, bismuth quadruple therapy is recommended. But, with lack of easy availability of bismuth, the (non-bismuth) concomitant and sequential regimens are used commonly as first-line therapy. Recent reports indicate suboptimal results with sequential therapy in such regions. We aimed to compare the efficacy of concomitant therapy vs. sequential therapy in the eradication of H. pylori in a region with high antibiotic resistance rates, and to compare adherence rates and adverse events with the regimens. METHODS One hundred and twenty-four consecutive H. pylori-infected patients (diagnosed using rapid urease test or urea breath test) were randomized to receive sequential or concomitant therapy for 10 days each. Four weeks after treatment completion, urea breath test was done to confirm eradication of the infection. Cure rates were compared between the two regimens and note was made of adherence rates and adverse events. RESULTS Concomitant therapy showed a statistically non-significant higher cure rate compared to sequential therapy in intention-to-treat (87.1% vs. 81.4%%, p = 0.46) and per-protocol (94.7% vs. 83.9%, p = 0.07) analyses. Both the regimens were well tolerated and showed similar adherence rates (p = 1.00) and incidence of adverse events (p = 0.44). CONCLUSION In a region with high dual resistance, both concomitant and sequential therapy for H. pylori infection achieved eradication rates >80%, but concomitant therapy showed a statistically non-significant higher cure rate, with similar adherence and adverse event profiles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Accelerating Innovation for Mothers (AIM) project established a database of candidate medicines in research and development (R&D) between 2000 and 2021 for five pregnancy-related conditions, including pre-eclampsia. In parallel, we published target product profiles (TPPs) that describe optimal characteristics of medicines for use in preventing/treating pre-eclampsia. The study objective was to use systematic double screening and extraction to identify all candidate medicines being investigated for pre-eclampsia prevention/treatment and rank their potential based on the TPPs. METHODS Adis Insight, Pharmaprojects, WHO international clinical trials registry platform (ICTRP), PubMed and grant databases were searched (Jan-May 2021). The AIM database was screened for all candidates being investigated for pre-eclampsia. Candidates in clinical development were evaluated against nine prespecified criteria from TPPs identified as key for wide-scale implementation, and classified as high, medium or low potential based on matching to the TPPs. Preclinical candidates were categorised by product type, archetype and medicine subclass. RESULTS The AIM database identified 153 candidates for pre-eclampsia. Of the 87 candidates in clinical development, seven were classified as high potential (prevention: esomeprazole, L-arginine, chloroquine, vitamin D and metformin; treatment: sulfasalazine and metformin) and eight as medium potential (prevention: probiotic lactobacilli, dalteparin, selenium and omega-3 fatty acid; treatment: sulforaphane, pravastatin, rosuvastatin and vitamin B3). Sixty-six candidates were in preclinical development, the most common being amino acid/peptides, siRNA-based medicines and polyphenols. CONCLUSIONS This is a novel, evidence-informed approach to identifying promising candidates for pre-eclampsia prevention and treatment - a vital step in stimulating R&D of new medicines for pre-eclampsia suitable for real-world implementation.

Abstract
Esomeprazole is used in various clinical settings where a decrease in gastric acid production is desired since it is a proton pump inhibitor. Apixaban, an anticoagulant, is used to reduce the risk of stroke in patients with certain cardiovascular diseases. This research aims to examine the effects of giving esomeprazole and apixaban to rats simultaneously, as well as to measure their pharmacokinetics and look for statistical differences or interactions. A method for the simultaneous determination of esomeprazole and apixaban in rat plasma was developed using HPLC/MS and validated by ICH guidelines. Five groups of Wistar rats were created, and the drugs were administered as follows: esomeprazole (5 mg/kg) intravenously, apixaban (125 mcg/Kg) intravenously, esomeprazole (5 mg/kg) orally, apixaban (250 mcg/kg) orally, and esomeprazole (5 mg/kg) and apixaban (250 mcg/kg) both orally. Both drugs' concentrations were measured in plasma samples collected on a predetermined schedule. The pharmacokinetics of both drugs were calculated and statistically analyzed using a 90% confidence interval and non-compartmental analysis. When the two drugs were combined, apixaban's Cmax and AUC increased while esomeprazole's Cmax and AUC decreased. On the other hand, Apixaban's Tmax decreased with an increase in esomeprazole's Tmax, indicating a possible interaction between the two drugs. When both drugs were taken together, their bioavailability was reduced, implying that less esomeprazole was absorbed over time.

Abstract
Afatinib is an oral small-molecule kinase inhibitor (SMKI) approved for treatment of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) driver mutation. Although oral administration is convenient, most SMKIs experience pH-dependent solubility. A drug-drug interaction between afatinib and proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) has, however, never been studied in humans. Hence, we performed a randomized, three-period cross-over study. Afatinib (30 mg or 40 mg) was administered without PPI (period A), concomitantly with esomeprazole (period B) and three hours after esomeprazole intake (period C). Primary objective was the area under the curve (AUC0-24 h) comparing period A to period B and period A to period C. Secondary objectives were other pharmacokinetic parameters and toxicity. Linear mixed effect modelling was performed for differences in AUC0-24 h and Cmax between periods A and B and periods A and C. In 18 evaluable NSCLC patients, concomitant use of 40 mg esomeprazole decreased the steady-state afatinib AUC0-24 h with 10.2% (95% CI -29.2 to +14.0%; p = 0.564) compared to afatinib administration without PPI. Esomeprazole intake three hours prior to afatinib did not significantly influence afatinib AUC0-24 h (-0.6%; 95% CI -14.9 to +16.1%; p = 1.0). No differences in toxicity were observed. To conclude, esomeprazole did not change the exposure to afatinib in patients with NSCLC. Since there is no clinically relevant drug-drug interaction, esomeprazole can safely be co-administered with afatinib. This is important for clinical practice, because other EGFR-SMKIs (e.g. erlotinib and gefitinib) do experience clinically relevant drug-drug interactions with acid-suppressive agents.

Abstract
Known as a common malignant tumor among children, retinoblastoma (RB) is highly malignant and has poor prognosis, damages children's vision and degrades quality of life. To identify a potential molecular mechanism of RB, we conducted this study on legumain (LGMN), which is highly expressed in multiple tumors. In this study, we found that LGMN was significantly upregulated in RB cells and was positively expressed in RB tissues. We confirmed that LGMN overexpression (LGMN-OE) can promote RB cell proliferation and inhibit cell apoptosis through CCK8 experiments and flow cytometry. In addition, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‒qPCR) and Western blot results showed that LGMN-OE could regulate the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transformation-related genes and proteins, related to tumor invasion and metastasis. Moreover, after LGMN knock down, the result was the opposite., RNA sequence analysis revealed 1159 differentially expressed genes between LGMN-OE and the negative control (NCOE), of which 564 were upregulated and 595 were downregulated. The first 10 genes were verified by RT‒qPCR based on P value and fold change. Interestingly, we found that LGMN could regulate the expression of recoverin (RCVRN)through a gene responsible for cancer-related retinopathy. We also screened and verified that LGMN partially activated the PI3K/AKT pathway in RB. Furthermore, we evaluated the effect of legumain inhibitors (e.g., esomeprazole) on RB, and the results suggest that esomeprazole may provide a reference for the clinical adjuvant treatment of RB. In conclusion, legumain can serve as an attractive target for RB therapy and hopefully provide new insights and ideas for the development of targeted drugs and precise personalized clinical therapy.

Abstract
A simple, selective, and accurate electrochemical chiral sensor based on molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) has been developed for sensitive and selective detection of esomeprazole (ESOM). For this purpose, the porous MIP sensor was prepared using tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in the presence of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) as a chiral recognizing element on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The changes in the MIP-layer related to removal and rebinding of the target ESOM were performed via differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) by using [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- as the redox probe. The structures of the developed sensor surface were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was also utilized for a complementary electrochemical characterization. The calibration curve was obtained in the range 1.0 × 10-14-2.0 × 10-13 M with a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.9 × 10-15 M. The developed method has improved the accessibility of binding sites by producing the porous material via hydrolysis/condensation reaction of TEOS in presence of CTAB. The selectivity tests of the developed SiO2-β-CD@MIP/GCE sensor indicated a high specificity towards ESOM compared with structurally related competitor molecules such as R-omeprazole (R-OM), R-lansoprazole, and S-lansoprazole. The developed sensor was successfully used to determine ESOM in tablets and commercial human serum samples with satisfactory recoveries (100.25 to 100.60%) and precision (RSD 0.46 to 0.66%).

Abstract
Background Proton-pump inhibitors (PPI) are liberally prescribed in patients with liver cirrhosis. Observational studies link PPI therapy in cirrhotic patients with an increased risk for infectious complications, hepatic encephalopathy and an increased risk for hospitalization and mortality. However, patients with liver cirrhosis are also considered to be at risk for peptic ulcer bleeding. The STOPPIT trial evaluates if discontinuation of a pre-existing PPI treatment delays a composite endpoint of re-hospitalization and/or death in patients (recently) hospitalized with liver cirrhosis compared to patients on continued PPI medication. Methods The STOPPIT-trial is a prospective, multicentre, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial. In total, 476 patients with complicated liver cirrhosis who already receive long-term PPI therapy without evidence-based indication are 1:1 randomized to receive either esomeprazole 20 mg (control group) or placebo (intervention group) for 360 days. Patients with an indication for PPI therapy (such as a recent diagnosis of peptic ulcers, severe reflux esophagitis, severe hemorrhagic gastritis, recent endoscopic therapy for oesophageal varices) are excluded. The primary composite endpoint is the time-to re-hospitalization and/or death. Secondary endpoints include rates of re-hospitalization, mortality, occurrence of infections, hepatic decompensation and acute-on-chronic liver failure. The safety endpoint is defined as manifestation of an evidence-based indication for PPI re-therapy. The impact of PPI continuation or discontinuation on the intestinal microbiota will be studied. The recruitment will take place at 18 study sites throughout Germany. Recruitment has started in April 2021. Discussion The STOPPIT trial is the first clinical trial to study the effects of PPI withdrawal on relevant outcome variables in patients with complicated liver cirrhosis. If the hypothesis that PPI withdrawal improves clinical outcomes of cirrhosis patients is confirmed, this would argue for a strong restriction of the currently liberal prescription practice of PPIs in this population. If, on the other hand, the trial demonstrates an increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding events in patients after PPI withdrawal, this could create a rationale for a more liberal, prophylactic PPI treatment in patients with liver cirrhosis.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is a common gastrointestinal malignancy worldwide, with a high mortality rate and poor prognosis. Esomeprazole (ESO) has been shown to have anticancer activity by affecting cell growth and autophagy and its mechanism in gastric cancer cells is evident. The PI3K/AKT/FOXO3a pathway is central in cancers. 3-Methyladenine (3-MA), a dual inhibitor of PI3K and autophagy, plays a synergistic role in combination with antitumor agents. In this study, we assessed the role of ESO on the PI3K/AKT/FOXO3a pathway and the beneficial effects of ESO combined with 3-MA in gastric cancer cells. Cell viability, proliferation, invasion, migration, apoptosis, autophagy, and protein expression were detected by CCK-8, EdU, Transwell, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence assay, and western blot. ESO decreased cell viability in a concentration- and time-dependent manner and increased autophagy with upregulation of LC3II and P62. Additionally, ESO inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion and induced the apoptosis of gastric cancer cells in a concentration-dependent manner. ESO inhibited PI3K/AKT/FOXO3a signaling and EGFR and SKP2 expression concentration-dependent. 3-MA enhanced the antiproliferative activity of ESO and synergistically inhibited PI3K/FOXO3a signaling and the expression of EGFR but not SKP2. Furthermore, pretreatment with the EGFR inhibitor AG1478 enhanced the antiproliferative activity of ESO in gastric cancer cells. In conclusion, our results suggested that the PI3K inhibitor 3-MA promotes the antiproliferative activity of ESO in gastric cancer cells by synergistically downregulating EGFR via the PI3K/FOXO3a pathway.

Abstract
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a connective tissue disease with the involvement of complex signaling pathways, such as TGF-β/Smad2/3. SSc can lead to severe multiple organ fibrosis, but no effective therapy is currently available because of its unclear pathogenesis. Exploring new treatments is the focus of recent research on SSc. Recent studies have implied a potential antifibrotic role of esomeprazole (ESO), but with currently unidentified mechanisms. Signaling of AhR, a ligand-dependent transcription factor, has been described as a key controller of fibrosis, tumorigenesis, and immune balance. Recently, it has been reported that ESO may be an exogenous agonist of AhR signaling, while no previous study has revealed the effects of ESO on SSc and its underlying mechanisms. In this study, we demonstrate that ESO suppresses the migration of SSc dermal fibroblasts, downregulates profibrotic markers, including COLIA1, α-SMA CTGF and MMP1, and limits collagen production potentially via the activation of AhR signaling. More importantly, ESO could block Smad2/3 phosphorylation concurrently with the reduction in collagen via AhR signaling. Moreover, our results from the bleomycin (BLM)-induced SSc model in skin and lung shows that ESO ameliorates fibrosis in vivo, which in keeping with our in vitro results. We conclude that ESO is a potential therapeutic drug for SSc fibrosis.

Abstract
YH4808 is a novel potassium-competitive acid blocker developed for gastric acid-related disorders. Previous studies indicate its potential to improve symptoms of gastric acid-related disorders. The current study was aimed to find the optimal regimen of YH4808 for night time pH control. This study was performed in two parts. Each was a randomized, open-label, active-controlled, multiple-doses, two-treatment, two-period crossover study conducted in 20 healthy Korean volunteers. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of the four groups. The three groups received different dosage regimens of YH4808 (100 mg twice a day, 200 mg once a day, or 200 mg twice a day), and the fourth group received esomeprazole 40 mg twice a day. The pharmacokinetic parameters demonstrated that the systemic exposure of YH4808 increased in a dose-proportional manner. The difference in the proportion of time above pH 4 over 24 h from the baseline was the greatest in the group receiving YH4808 200 mg twice a day. The values of the area under the effect curve at night time (12 A.M.–7 A.M.) were higher in all YH4808 groups than in the esomeprazole group. However, the differences among the YH4808 groups were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). YH4808 exhibited potential for better pH control during the night in comparison to esomeprazole. The optimal regimen for night time pH control among all the YH4808 regimens was 200 mg twice a day.

Abstract
Background/Aims The rates of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication have declined with the use of proton pump inhibitor- amoxicillin-clarithromycin as the first-line triple therapy. On the other hand, several studies have suggested that high gastric pH levels could affect the H. pylori eradication rate by enhancing the efficacy of antimicrobials. This study compared the efficacy of seven-day high-dose esomeprazole-based triple therapy (7-HEAC) for first-line H. pylori eradication with the seven-day standard dose non-esomeprazole-based triple therapy (7-NEAC) to identify the risk factors related to eradication failure. Methods This study included 223 patients who were diagnosed with a H. pylori infection and received 7-HEAC or 7-NEAC between June 2016 and January 2017. The H. pylori eradication rates, as well as demographic and clinical factors, were investigated retrospectively. H. pylori eradication was confirmed by a 13C-urea breath test or rapid urease test at least 4 weeks after the completion of therapy. Results The eradication rates were 67.7% (105/155; 95% CI 59.5-74.8%) in the 7-NEAC group and 80.9% (55/68; 95% CI 69.9-89.8%) in the 7-HEAC group (p=0.045). The adverse event rates were 5.8% (9/155) in the 7-NEAC group and 7.4% (5/68) in the 7-HEAC group (p=0.661). Multivariate analysis revealed being female (OR 2.08; 95% CI 1.15-3.76) to be associated with the failure of H. pylori eradication therapy. Conclusions The eradication rate of the 7-HEAC group was higher than that of the 7-NEAC group. Nevertheless, more effective first-line therapies may be necessary for H. pylori eradication in the near future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Sitafloxacin (STFX)-containing regimens were shown to be useful options for third-line Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy. It is reported that resistance to quinolone is also increasing globally. Therefore, we conducted an analysis of the current efficacy of a 10-day -STFX-containing third-line rescue therapy and the changes of antibiotic resistance to H. pylori compared to 2 historical controls. METHODS Patients in whom eradication treatment using both first- and second-line triple therapies failed were enrolled from 2014 to 2015. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of STFX, clarithromycin (CLR), amoxicillin (AMX), metronidazole (MTZ) and the gyrA mutation status of the H. pylori strains were determined before treatment. After that, the patients received a 10-day triple therapy containing esomeprazole (20 mg, b.i.d.), AMX (500 mg, q.i.d.) and STFX (100 mg, b.i.d.; 10-day EAS). The eradication rate and the rate of antibiotic resistance to H. pylori were compared with 2 previous reports about STFX-containing third-line rescue therapies in 2009-2011 and 2012-2013. To explore the association between the eradication rates of regimens containing STFX, AMX and proton pump inhibitors and the location of gyrA mutation or AMX resistance, a meta-analysis was attempted. RESULTS The overall eradication rates, the eradication rate for gyrA mutation negative- and positive- strains were 81.6% (31/38), 94.7% (18/19) and 68.4% (13/19) respectively. These rates were not significantly different from 2 previous reports. The resistant rates to STFX, CLR, AMX, MTZ and the rate of presence of mutation in gyrA were 50.0, 81.6, 36.8, 78.9 and 50.0%, respectively, which was also not significantly different from 2 previous reports. A meta-analysis showed that the relative risk of the eradication failure is significantly lower in gyrA mutation negative strains compared to gyrA mutation positive strains, and that the relative risk of the eradication failure is significantly lower in gyrA mutation at D91 compared to gyrA mutation at N87 (p < 0.001 and p = 0.022, respectively). Moreover, a meta-analysis showed that the relative risk of the eradication failure is significantly lower in AMX-sensitive strains compared to AMX-resistant ones. CONCLUSION Changes in the rate of antibiotic resistance to H. pylori were not observed from 2009 to 2015. The status of gyrA mutation is a superior marker for predicting successful eradication in STFX/AMX-containing triple regimen as a third-line rescue therapy.

Abstract
Introduction Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an orphan disease characterized by progressive loss of lung function resulting in shortness of breath and often death within 3–4 years of diagnosis. Repetitive lung injury in susceptible individuals is believed to promote chronic oxidative stress, inflammation, and uncontrolled collagen deposition. Several preclinical and retrospective clinical studies in IPF have reported beneficial outcomes associated with the use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) such as esomeprazole. Accordingly, we sought to investigate molecular mechanism(s) by which PPIs favorably regulate the disease process. Methods We stimulated oxidative stress, pro-inflammatory and profibrotic phenotypes in primary human lung epithelial cells and fibroblasts upon treatment with bleomycin or transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) and assessed the effect of a prototype PPI, esomeprazole, in regulating these processes. Results Our study shows that esomeprazole controls pro-inflammatory and profibrotic molecules through nuclear translocation of the transcription factor nuclear factor-like 2 (Nrf2) and induction of the cytoprotective molecule heme oxygenase 1 (HO1). Genetic deletion of Nrf2 or pharmacological inhibition of HO1 impaired esomeprazole-mediated regulation of proinflammatory and profibrotic molecules. Additional studies indicate that activation of Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) pathway is involved in the process. Our experimental data was corroborated by bioinformatics studies of an NIH chemical library which hosts gene expression profiles of IPF lung fibroblasts treated with over 20,000 compounds including esomeprazole. Intriguingly, we found 45 genes that are upregulated in IPF but downregulated by esomeprazole. Pathway analysis showed that these genes are enriched for profibrotic processes. Unbiased high throughput RNA-seq study supported antifibrotic effect of esomeprazole and revealed several novel targets. Conclusions Taken together, PPIs may play antifibrotic role in IPF through direct regulation of the MAPK/Nrf2/HO1 pathway to favorably influence the disease process in IPF.

Abstract
Recently, an association has been suggested between development of white globe appearance lesions in the noncancerous stomach and treatment with a potassium-competitive acid blocker or a proton pump inhibitor. We previously reported two cases with development of white globe appearance lesions after vonoprazan treatment, suggesting a similar association. Here, we present the follow-up report of one of those two cases, concerning a 68-year-old woman who developed multiple white globe appearance lesions 1 year after starting vonoprazan treatment for severe gastroesophageal reflux disease leading to esophageal stricture. The patient refused to continue vonoprazan treatment after the lesions developed, and esomeprazole was initiated instead. Three months later, most of the white globe appearance lesions had disappeared, without worsening of her gastroesophageal reflux disease. Histologically, mucosal structural changes induced by vonoprazan, such as parietal cell protrusion with oxyntic gland dilatation, remained unchanged, whereas the gastric glands became less packed and a small calcification in the concentrated eosinophilic material was observed in a remaining white globe appearance cyst after esomeprazole treatment. Here, we discuss possible pathogenic mechanisms of these dramatic gastric mucosal changes observed in the present case, based on our endoscopic and histological findings.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Esomeprazole delayed release tablets (ESO) are one of the most effective treatments for acid-related disorders. The purpose of this study is to compare the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of an immediate-release capsule formulation containing esomeprazole 20 mg and sodium bicarbonate 1100 mg (IR-ESO) compared to those of the esomeprazole delayed release tablet 20 mg (ESO). In addition, the impact of CYP2C19 gene polymorphisms on PK and PD was evaluated. METHODS A single-center, open-label, randomized, 2-treatment, 2-sequence, and 2-period crossover study was conducted in 40 healthy Chinese subjects. Subjects received either IR-ESO or ESO for 5 days. After single- and multiple-dosing administration, blood samples were collected for PK analysis, and intragastric pH was assessed by 24-h pH monitoring. The CYP2C19 gene polymorphisms were analyzed by Sanger sequencing. RESULTS The geometric mean ratios (90% confidence interval) [GMR (95%CI)] of IR-ESO/ESO for AUCinf [single dose: 103.60% (96.58%, 111.14%), multiple doses: 101.65% (97.88%, 105.57%)] were within the range of 80.00-125.00%. The AUCinf showed an increasing trend between CYP2C19 extensive metabolizer (EM), intermediate metabolizer (IM), and poor metabolizer (PM) after single-dose and multiple-dose administration (p < 0.05). The GMR (95%CI) of IR-ESO/ESO for 24-h integrated gastric acidity from baseline [single dose: 101.07% (96.56%, 105.78%), multiple doses: 101.24% (97.74%, 104.86%)] were within the range of 80.00-125.00%. The percentage changes in 24-h integrated gastric acidity from baseline was significant difference between EM, IM, and PM after single-dose IR-ESO and ESO (p < 0.05). Drugs were all well tolerated, and there were no significant differences in adverse events between IR-ESO and ESO. CONCLUSION This study showed that IR-ESO can inhibit the secretion of gastric acid rapidly and continuously, and that the PK and PD of IR-ESO are affected by CYP2C19 genotypes. The GMR (95% CI) of IR-ESO/ESO for AUCinf and the percentage changes in 24-h integrated gastric acidity from baseline were all within the range of 80.00-125.00%.

Abstract
Background: We investigated the efficacy of esomeprazole for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in a meta-analysis of clinical trials results. Methods: Medline, Embase, PubMed and Web of Science databases were systematically searched for suitable studies, and double-blind, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were involved. A meta-analysis of RCTs was performed to analyze the efficacy of esomeprazole on clinical outcomes that associated with the severity of GERD. Results: A total of 8 clinical trials were selected in our meta-analysis (N=4495, patients with GERD). Esomeprazole treatment yielded a significant improvement in clinical signs and symptoms of GERD compared to placebo group. Funnel plot and Egger test showed there was no significant bias in the publication. Cochrane collaboration tool and Jadad scale were used to indicate that all 8 RCTs were of high quality. The results of Galbraith radial plot showed that no study was the major source of heterogeneity. Esomeprazole treatment significantly decreased the relapse rates more than that of placebo group (RR = 0.729; 95% CI: 0.670 to 0.794; P<0.001). It seems to be lower rates of heartburn (RR = 0.747; 95%CI: 0.665–0.839; P <0.001) and epigastric pain (RR = 0.795; 95%CI: 0.679–0.932; P =0.005) in esomeprazole-treated group compared with the placebo group. Moreover, serious adverse events was less likely to happen after esomeprazole therapy (RR = 1.406, 95% CI: 1.030–1.918; P =0.032). Conclusion: Compared with the control group, esomeprazole is a promising therapeutic agent that improves the management of patients with GERD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pharmacokinetics and bioequivalence of esomeprazole in healthy Chinese subjects and the effects of food on the pharmacokinetics have not been well studied.
AIM To evaluate the pharmacokinetic characteristics of esomeprazole magnesium (Eso) enteric- coated capsule in the healthy subjects in China and the bioequivalence of the two formulations.
METHODS This study was conducted in the Phase I Clinical Trial Unit of the Affiliated Hospital of Changchun University of Chinese Medicine. A total of 64 healthy subjects were enrolled in the study. Thirty-two subjects fasted or fed, took the test or reference formulation Eso enteric-coated capsule by a four-cycle, two-sequence crossover of fasting/fed, self-controlled method. The liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was performed to determine the drug plasma concentration at 16 different time points within 12 h after drug administration. The pharmacokinetic parameters Cmax, area under the curve (AUC)0-t, and AUC0-inf were calculated to evaluate the bioequivalence.
RESULTS Pharmacokinetic parameters were evaluated after subjects took the test formulation and control formulation under fasting status. The ratio of geometric means of Cmax was 104.15%, with a confidence interval (CI) of 98.20-110.46%. The ratio of geometric means of AUC0-t was 105.26%, with a CI of 99.80-111.01%. The ratio of geometric means of AUC0-inf was 105.37%, with a CI of 99.97-111.06%. The pharmacokinetic parameters were also evaluated after subjects took the reference formulation of Eso enteric-coated capsule after eating. The upper limit of 95% CI of the geometric mean ratio of pharmacokinetic parameters of Eso enteric-coated capsules in the postprandial state Cmax was -0.1689, and the point estimate was 0.9509 (0.80-1.25). The upper limit of 95% CI of the geometric mean ratio of pharmacokinetic parameters of Eso enteric-coated capsules in the postprandial state AUC0-t was -0.1015 (≤ 0) , and the point estimate was 0.9003 (0.80-1.25). The upper limit of 95% CI of the geometric mean ratio of pharmacokinetic parameters of Eso enteric-coated capsules in the postprandial state AUC0-inf was -0.0593 (≤ 0), and the point estimate was 0.8453 (0.80-1.25). The results indicated that the two formulations were bioequivalent under both fasting and fed states.
CONCLUSION The two types of esomeprazole tablets were bioequivalent under both fasting and fed states, and both were generally well tolerated.

Abstract
YH4808 is a novel selective potassium-competitive acid blocker demonstrated to be safe and to have inhibitory effects against gastric acid secretion in previous studies. A randomized, open-label, multiple-dose, 3-treatment, 1-period, parallel design study was conducted to compare the Helicobacter pylori eradication rates and acid suppression capacities of three regimens in 60 healthy subjects with H. pylori-positive, and the potential of YH4808 to replace proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) in standard regimens for H. pylori eradication. Group 1 received YH4808, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin as a novel triple regimen, while Group 2 received YH4808 and amoxicillin only, and Group 3 received esomeprazole, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin, as the standard triple regimen. H. pylori eradication rates were 85.0% for Group 1, 25.0% for Group 2, and 83.3% for Group 3. Relative response rate between Group 1 and 3 was 1.02 (0.50–2.07; 95% CI, χ2 test p = 0.8881). Furthermore, the novel triple regimen, YH4808, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin, stably inhibited acid secretion and maintained a gastric pH greater than 4 or 5 for 24 hours, which was comparable to the pH range in the standard triple regimen. However, the onset times of the YH4808 regimens were earlier than that for the regimens using esomeprazole. There were no differences in the incidences or severity of adverse events among the three groups. Overall, the novel triple regimen was safe and well-tolerated. YH4808 could replace PPIs in standard triple regimens used for H. pylori eradication.

Abstract
In order to avoid a risk of gastrointestinal toxic caused by naproxen (NAP), esomeprazole (ESOM) is generally used clinically in combination. The present work was undertaken to simultaneously determine NAP and ESOM in beagle dog plasma, and evaluated their pharmacokinetic behaviors in beagle dogs. Herein, ethyl acetate was used to extract the samples by using a time-saving evaporation-free liquid-liquid extraction (EF-LLE) method, then the samples were analyzed by supercritical fluid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (SFC-MS/MS). The optimal analysis conditions were achieved with an ACQUITY UPC2™ BEH column maintained at 50℃ and eluted completely within 2 min using supercritical carbon dioxide and methanol with a gradient elution mode. Due to the large differences in plasma concentrations between NAP and ESOM, celecoxib and diazepam were selected as dual-internal standards (IS). The mass transition ion pairs were m/z 231.2 → 185.0, 346.9 → 198.2, 285.1 → 193.1 and 382.2 → 281.2 for NAP, ESOM, diazepam (IS for NAP) and celecoxib (IS for ESOM), respectively. The concentration of NAP and ESOM were linear within the range of 0.1-100 μg/mL (r > 0.993) and 0.005-5 μg/mL (r > 0.996) in beagle dog plasma, and the accuracy and precision of intra-day and inter-day of all quality control samples were within ±15 %. It was a method with the feature of rapid, sensitive and high-throughput, and would be practical for determining NAP and ESOM in biological samples simultaneously and for assessing their pharmacokinetic behaviors in clinical studies.

Abstract
Legumain is a newly discovered lysosomal cysteine protease that can cleave asparagine bonds and plays crucial roles in regulating immunity and cancer metastasis. Legumain has been shown to be highly expressed in various solid tumors, within the tumor microenvironment and its levels are directly related to tumor metastasis and poor prognosis. Therefore, legumain presents as a potential cancer therapeutic drug target. In this study, we have identified esomeprazole and omeprazole as novel legumain small molecule inhibitors by screening an FDA approved-drug library. These compounds inhibited enzyme activity of both recombinant and endogenous legumain proteins with esomeprazole displaying the highest inhibitory effect. Further molecular docking analysis also indicated that esomeprazole, the S- form of omeprazole had the most stable binding to legumain protein compared to R-omeprazole. Transwell assay data showed that esomeprazole and omeprazole reduced MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell invasion without effecting cell viability. Moreover, an in vivo orthotopic transplantation nude mouse model study showed that esomeprazole reduced lung metastasis of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. These results indicated that esomeprazole has the exciting potential to be used in anti-cancer therapy by preventing cancer metastasis via the inhibition of legumain enzyme activity.

Abstract
Recent studies have linked prolonged use of the most commonly prescribed proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) with declined human sperm function and infertility. Here, we report for the first time the most plausible underlying mechanism for this unwarranted secondary mode of action. We followed up on a recent serendipitous discovery in our laboratory regarding PPIs' off-target action and performed detailed pharmacodynamic analyses by combining in silico and in vitro studies to determine the off-target effect of one of the most commonly used PPI, esomeprazole, on the key human acetylcholine biosynthesizing enzyme, choline acetyltransferase (ChAT; EC 2.3.1.6). A pivotal enzyme in the spermic cholinergic system that governs the sperm motility, concentration and quality. Our results were conclusive and showed that both the racemic form, omeprazole and its pure S-enantiomer, esomeprazole, acted as potent mixed-competitive inhibitor of human ChAT with a global inhibition constant (Ki) of 88 nM (95%CI: 10-167 nM) for esomeprazole and 178 nM (95%CI: 140-230 nM) for the racemic drug omeprazole. Most importantly, esomeprazole substantially reduces both total number of motile sperm (by 36%, p < 0.001; and 21% p < 0.0001, at 10 and 100 nM, respectively) as well as the total number of sperm with progressive motility (by 42% p < 0.0016 and by 26% p < 0.0001, respectively) after 60 min relative to 20 min incubation in our ex vivo functional assay performed on ejaculated human sperm. In conclusion, this study presents a completely new perspective regarding PPIs secondary mode of action/unwarranted side effects and calls for further mechanistic and larger clinical studies to elucidate the role of PPIs in infertility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is widely used as a treatment modality for gastric mucosal neoplasia. While proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have been used for the control of artificial ulcers created by ESD (ESD-ulcers), complete healing of the ulcers is not always achieved in all the cases. The purpose of this study was to identify the clinical factors that are predictive of refractory ESD-ulcers. PATIENTS AND METHODS We recruited 90 patients with 102 artificial ulcers that formed after the patients underwent ESD for gastric tumours. All the patients received a 20-mg capsule of esomeprazole daily until the 56th day after ESD, and underwent endoscopy at 1, 4, 6 and 8 weeks after the ESD. We analyzed the clinical factors that were associated with the complete healing at 8 weeks after the ESD (CH-8w). The ulcers in the scar stage were defined as the complete healing in this study. RESULTS Of the 102 ESD-ulcers, 16.7% failed to show complete healing after the 8 weeks of PPI therapy. Univariate analysis identified the percent reduction of the ulcer size at 4 weeks after ESD (PR-4w) as being significantly associated with CH-8w. Multivariate analysis identified ulcer location in the lower-third of the stomach and PR-4w > 95% as being independently correlated with the CH-8w (odds ratio = 4.86 and 7.89, respectively). Analysis of the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve demonstrated that the AUROC curve of PR-4w for predicting the CH-8w was 0.78. CONCLUSION Based on the results of our study, endoscopic observation at 4 weeks after ESD would help in the early identification of refractory ESD-ulcers.

Abstract
Development and repurposing of therapies that show promise in the prevention or treatment of preeclampsia would be a major advance for the obstetrics field. We recently identified esomeprazole and sulfasalazine as potential candidates for the treatment of preeclampsia. Both reduce placental and endothelial secretion of sFlt-1 and sENG and mitigate endothelial dysfunction in vitro. Here we assessed whether esomeprazole and sulfasalazine in combination would additively attenuate the elevated release of anti-angiogenic factors and markers of endothelial dysfunction, key characteristics of preeclampsia. Primary placental tissue and cells, and primary endothelial cells were treated with esomeprazole and sulfasalazine alone and in combination. We assessed secretion of sFlt-1 and sENG and performed in vitro assays of endothelial dysfunction. Combining esomeprazole and sulfasalazine in lower concentrations caused an additive reduction in sFlt-1 secretion in primary cytotrophoblasts, placental explants and endothelial cells. No additive reduction was observed in sENG secretion when esomeprazole and sulfasalazine were combined. Together, esomeprazole and sulfasalazine additively reduced TNF-α-induced VCAM and ET-1 mRNA expression, and monocyte adhesion to endothelial cells. In conclusion, combining esomeprazole and sulfasalazine additively reduced secretion of sFlt-1 and markers of endothelial dysfunction. Combined administration of esomeprazole and sulfasalazine may provide a more effective treatment or prevention for preeclampsia compared to either as single agents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Methotrexate (MTX), an antifolate agent, is primarily eliminated by the kidney. Organic anion transporter 3 (OAT3) contributes to renal MTX clearance. Several studies have shown an association between co-administration of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and delayed elimination of MTX, but the findings are conflicting. In this study, we aimed to evaluate whether the differential inhibitory effects of PPIs on the OAT3-mediated transport of MTX are associated with the risks of delayed MTX elimination. METHODS We investigated the effects of PPIs on rat (r) OAT3-mediated MTX uptake using HEK293T cells expressing rOAT3. To examine whether PPIs could affect the pharmacokinetics of MTX, changes in plasma concentration-time profiles were assessed when MTX (50 mg/kg, ip) and a range of PPIs (2 mg/kg, iv) were administered to rats. RESULTS In vitro studies demonstrated that PPIs inhibited rOAT3-mediated uptake of MTX, with estimated IC50 values of 2.1-5.2 μM, and a rank order of esomeprazole ≈ lansoprazole ≈ omeprazole > rabeprazole. When MTX and esomeprazole were co-administered to rats, the plasma concentration of MTX 6 h after administration and the t1/2 were significantly higher than those in the vehicle group. The effect of lansoprazole was not significant, but showed a tendency to prolong plasma MTX levels. Famotidine, a histamine H2-receptor antagonist, showed a weak inhibitory effect on rOAT3-mediated MTX uptake, although it did not affect plasma concentration-time profile of MTX in vivo. CONCLUSION Esomeprazole increases the t1/2 of MTX in rats, which may be partially attributed to the inhibition of rOAT3.

Abstract
Background/Aims Non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP) is defined as recurrent angina pectoris-like pain without evidence of coronary heart disease, and is usually related to esophageal diseases, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are important for diagnosis and treatment. Many studies have been conducted on the use of PPIs in patients with GERD-related NCCP. In contrast to standard-dose esomeprazole, the efficacy of half-dose esomeprazole twice daily (BD) has not been established. This study compared the efficacies of the two esomeprazole regimens in GERD-related NCCP. Methods In this prospective, open-label study, 37 participants with GERD-related NCCP were randomized to receive either 20 mg of esomeprazole BD (n=21) (esomeprazole BD group) or 40 mg once daily (n=16) (esomeprazole once daily [OD] group) for 4 weeks. In both groups, the chest pain score, which was calculated based on the frequency and severity, was evaluated before and 2 and 4 weeks after administering the medication. Results The chest pain score significantly improved in both groups (p<0.001). The proportion of patients with chest pain score improvement >50% was 7.7% higher in the esomeprazole BD group than in the esomeprazole OD group (95.2% vs. 87.5%), but the difference was not significant. Conclusions Esomeprazole BD was as effective as esomeprazole OD in improving GERD-related NCCP. Although statistically insignificant, the percentage of patients with >50% reduction in the chest pain score was higher in the esomeprazole BD group than in the esomeprazole OD group. Large-scale studies will be needed to assess these findings further.

Abstract
Recent results from data mining analyses and reports of adverse drug events suggest a QT-prolonging drug-drug interaction resulting from the combination of distinct proton pump inhibitors and cephalosporins. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating the effect of the suspected QT-prolonging combinations of lansoprazole + ceftriaxone and esomeprazole + cefazolin, respectively. 26 hearts of New Zealand White rabbits were retrogradely perfused and paced at different cycle lengths. After generating baseline data, the hearts were assigned to two groups: In group 1, hearts were treated with 5 µM lansoprazole. Thereafter, 200 µM ceftriaxone was infused additionally. Group 2 was perfused with 10 µM esomeprazole followed by 250 µM cefazolin. In group 1, lansoprazole did not significantly alter QT intervals and APD90. Additional treatment with ceftriaxone significantly shortened QT interval, APD90 and slightly reduced dispersion of repolarization compared to sole lansoprazole infusion. In group 2, esomeprazole led to a significant shortening of the QT interval without altering APD90 or dispersion. Additional treatment with the antibiotic cefazolin further shortened QT interval, APD90 and reduced the dispersion of repolarization. Incidence of ventricular arrhythmias was not significantly altered in both groups. This is the first experimental whole-heart study that investigated the impact of a concomitant treatment with proton pump inhibitors and cephalosporins. In contrast to previous reports, the combination of both agents did not cause QT prolongation but instead shortened QT interval and action potential duration. As a consequence, no triggered activity occurred in the presence of a stable dispersion of repolarization.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To review the rationale and biological plausibility and discuss the current research on novel interventions for the prevention of preeclampsia. RECENT FINDINGS Preeclampsia affects up to 8% of pregnancies worldwide and remains a major cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Multiple medications have been investigated or repurposed as potential effective interventions for preeclampsia prevention. Aspirin is currently the only drug for which there is some evidence of benefit for preeclampsia prevention, and its use is recommended by professional societies for pregnancies at risk. Statins have shown promise for prevention of preeclampsia in animal models and human pilot studies, without any trend or concerns for safety signals or teratogenicity. The use of metformin has also gained popularity in experimental studies, but observations from randomized clinical trials were not consistent on its utility as a possible intervention for preeclampsia prevention. While initial studies evaluating esomeprazole were promising, randomized trials failed to show benefit. Contemporary research shows exciting new opportunities for prophylactic treatment for preeclampsia, to prevent this debilitating and life-threatening disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Suppression of gastric acid secretion with proton-pump inhibitors (PPI) is an integral part of the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection. Esomeprazole has been shown to be superior to other PPIs when used in the context of triple therapy; however, comparative data for PPI efficacy in quadruple therapy are lacking. Current guidelines recommend H. pylori eradication with quadruple therapy in areas with high clarithromycin resistance. OBJECTIVE To determine whether esomeprazole is more effective than other PPIs in the context of quadruple therapy for H. pylori eradication. METHODS We retrospectively identified 25- to 60-year-old subjects with a positive 13C-urea breath test and no prior laboratory or endoscopic test for H. pylori infection. Pharmacy dispensation data were retrieved. RESULTS A total of 7,896 subjects including 2,856 (36.2%) males, aged 40.4 ± 10.6 years, were identified. Of those, 78.1% received omeprazole, 20.1% received lansoprazole, 1.5% received esomeprazole, and 0.34% received pantoprazole together with antibiotics for H. pylori eradication. Esomeprazole was associated with a greater proportion of successful eradication (85.0 vs. 77.5%, esomeprazole vs. omeprazole, OR 1.64; 95% CI 0.99-2.72; p = 0.05). A nonsignificant trend favored esomeprazole over omeprazole among subjects receiving quadruple therapy (90.0 vs. 82.0%, respectively, OR 1.98; 95% CI 0.68-5.72; p = 0.16). Independent predictors of treatment success included older age and quadruple therapy. CONCLUSION Esomeprazole is more beneficial than other PPIs for H. pylori eradication. Studies with larger subgroups are necessary to confirm our findings among subjects receiving quadruple therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND After the discovery of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in the last century, more than 90% of people with peptic ulcer were found to be infected with H. pylori. However, epidemiological studies in recent years have shown that H. pylori is not so closely related to peptic ulcer. More and more H. pylori negative gastric ulcers have been found around the world, and in recent years they have been increasing year by year. This may be related to the extensive application of H. pylori eradication therapy in recent years and the resulting decrease of H. pylori infection rate. H. pylori negative gastric ulcer and H. pylori positive ulcer may have independent pathophysiological mechanisms.
AIM To investigate the efficacy of esomeprazole combined with Kangfuxin in the treatment of H. pylori negative gastric ulcer and the influence on inflammatory factors.
METHODS One hundred and twenty-eight patients with gastric ulcer treated at our hospital from May 2017 to May 2018 were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group. The control group was treated with esomeprazole and the observation group was treated with esomeprazole combined with Kangfuxin. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated and the levels of interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 were measured. The levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interferon (IFN)-γ, and C-reactive protein (CRP), clinical symptom scores, adverse reactions, and recurrence were also recorded.
RESULTS Compared with the values before treatment, the scores of clinical symptoms and total clinical symptoms in the two groups decreased significantly after treatment (P < 0.05). After treatment, the scores of clinical symptoms and total clinical symptoms in the observation group decreased more significantly compared with the control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IFN-γ, and CRP decreased significantly in both groups compared with the values before treatment (P < 0.05). In the observation group, the scores of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and IFN-γ decreased more significantly than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The total effective rate in the observation group (93.75%) was significantly higher than that of the control group (73.44%), although there was no significant difference in adverse reactions or ulcer recurrence between the two groups (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSION Esomeprazole combined with Kangfuxin is effective in the treatment of H. pylori negative gastric ulcer and can significantly reduce the level of inflammatory factors, reduce the body's immune response, promote the early healing of ulcer, and improve the prognosis of patients.

Abstract
Gastric ulcer is a common problem affecting the gastrointestinal tract. Spirulina and wheatgrass are natural substances that have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. The aim of the Work was to elucidate the possible protective role of spirulina and wheatgrass versus standard treatment esomeprazole on indomethacin-induced gastric ulcer in adult male albino rats. Eighty adult male albino rats were divided into eight groups: group I (the control group), group II that received indomethacin (100 mg/kg orally), group III that received esomeprazole (20 mg/kg orally), group IV that received spirulina (1000 mg/kg orally), group V that received wheatgrass (1000 mg/kg orally), group VI that received indomethacin (100 mg/kg) + esomeprazole (20 mg/kg), group VII that received indomethacin (100 mg/kg) + spirulina (1000 mg/kg) and group VIII that received indomethacin (100 mg/kg) + wheatgrass (1000 mg/kg). Six hours after indomethacin treatment, all rats were anesthetized and their stomachs obtained for measures of gastric acidity, pepsin activity, mucin content, gastrin, ulcer index, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), tumor necrosis factor -α (TNF-α), interleukin-8 (IL8), proapoptotic protein (Bax). Histological (using H&E stain, PAS reaction) and immunohistochemical (using anti Ki67 immunostain) techniques were performed. Western immunoblot analysis for heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) was also done. Moreover, a morphometric study was done for area% of positive immunoreactive cells for Ki67 and optical density and area% of PAS reaction. All performed measurements were followed by statistical analysis. Indomethacin induced loss of normal architecture of gastric mucosa with sloughing of surface epithelium and inflammatory cellular infiltration. It also led to a significant increase in gastric acidity, inflammatory mediators (TNF-α, IL-8), pro-apoptotic protein Bax and a significant decrease in TAC levels and HSP-70 expression. There was also a significant decrease in area% of Ki67 immunoreactivity and area% and optical density of PAS reaction as compared with the control group and other pre-treated rats. These disturbed parameters were associated with increased ulcer index. In pre-treatment groups, the structure of the mucosa was similar to control with marked improvement in the biochemical assay. In conclusion, Spirulina and wheatgrass can partly protect the gastric mucosa against indomethacin-induced damage to a degree similar to that of the classical treatment esomeprazole.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Proton pump inhibitors and vonoprazan (a potassium-competitive acid blocker) are recommended as first-line treatments for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, few reports have investigated the onset of action of these agents for GERD symptom relief. The present study compared the symptom relief of esomeprazole with that of vonoprazan via monitoring self-reported GERD symptoms after treatment initiation. METHODS This was a prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel group, comparative clinical study between esomeprazole (20 mg/day) and vonoprazan (20 mg/day) administered for 4 weeks to patients with GERD symptoms. Patients who had scores ≥ 8 on the Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire (GerdQ) were defined as having GERD and enrolled in this study. Sixty patients were randomly assigned to either the esomeprazole group (n = 30) or the vonoprazan group (n = 30). Treatment response rates in each drug group were evaluated according to the GerdQ. The Frequency Scale for the Symptoms of GERD (FSSG) scores from the 1st day after treatment initiation and the Global Overall Symptom (GOS) scale scores during treatment were also evaluated. RESULTS At 4 weeks, the treatment response rates for symptom relief according to the GerdQ were 88.0% in the esomeprazole group and 81.8% in the vonoprazan group. The GOS scales, which reflect the impact of GERD symptoms, were similar for both groups. The FSSG scores decreased from the 1st to the 14th day in both groups. CONCLUSIONS There were no substantial differences in the symptom relief between the two groups at any time point in this short-term study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Small observational studies and case reports have indicated that proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) may cause hyponatremia. Whether there is a difference between the individual PPIs is yet unknown. Since PPIs are one of the most commonly prescribed groups of drugs, even a rare adverse reaction may have large implications. The objective was to study the association between PPIs and hospitalization due to hyponatremia. METHODS This register-based case-control study was based on the general Swedish population. Patients hospitalized with a principal diagnosis of hyponatremia (n = 14,359) were compared to matched controls (n = 57,383). The association between newly initiated (≤90 days) and ongoing PPI use was explored using multivariable logistic regression adjusting for concomitant drugs, medical conditions, previous hospitalizations and socioeconomic factors. RESULTS Adjusted ORs (95%CI) for hospitalization due to hyponatremia, compared to controls, were for newly initiated: omeprazole 2.67 (2.37-3.01); pantoprazole 2.06 (1.32-3.19); lansoprazole 1.19 (0.72-1.94); esomeprazole 2.89 (2.21-3.79) and any PPI 2.78 (2.48-3.11). Only one individual had been newly initiated on rabeprazole and had been hospitalized due to hyponatremia. Adjusted ORs (95%CI) for individuals with ongoing treatment were for: omeprazole 1.04 (0.97-1.11); pantoprazole 0.81 (0.62-1.05); lansoprazole 0.90 (0.70-1.15); rabeprazole 3.34 (0.84-11.43); esomeprazole 1.12 (0.94-1.33) and any PPI 1.04 (0.98-1.11). CONCLUSIONS With the exception of lansoprazole, this study suggests an association between any newly initiated PPI-treatment and hospitalization due to hyponatremia. Ongoing PPI use was not associated with an increased risk.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Reflux symptoms are frequently associated with esophageal acid exposure. However, other potential causes unrelated to acid secretion are possible, and the relationship between acid control and symptomatic improvement remains unclear. This study investigated the correlation between individual intragastric pH control and heartburn relief among subjects with frequent heartburn who are likely to self-treat with over-the-counter (OTC) medications. We hypothesized that improved acid control would provide greater symptomatic improvement among individuals representative of an OTC population. METHODS This phase 4, single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted in subjects without diagnosed gastroesophageal reflux disease or other gastrointestinal conditions who were experiencing frequent heartburn (≥ 3 episodes/week; ≥ 2 nighttime episodes/week over past 30 days) that was responsive to treatment. Subjects entered a 7-day run-in phase, received placebo BID (before breakfast and dinner), and completed symptom diaries. During the treatment phase, subjects received esomeprazole 20 mg BID, esomeprazole 20 mg then placebo, or placebo BID. Subjects underwent 24-h intragastric pH monitoring at baseline and day 14 and completed daily symptom diaries. RESULTS In the per-protocol population (n = 39), mean (SD) change from baseline in percentage of time with intragastric pH > 4 was 58.7% (± 26.4%) versus 41.0% (± 30.4%) for those who did and did not achieve 24-h heartburn relief. Significant correlations were observed between change in percentage of time with intragastric pH > 4 and 24-h heartburn relief (OR 1.028; 95% CI 1.001, 1.055; P = 0.0442) and complete resolution (OR 1.034; 95% CI 1.003, 1.065; P = 0.0301). CONCLUSIONS Individuals with greater improvements in duration of intragastric acid suppression had an increased likelihood of achieving heartburn relief and resolution. These results indicate that individuals not adequately controlling their intragastric pH may require an escalation in dose of their acid-suppressive therapy, assessment with 24-h pH monitoring, or a change in treatment regimen to address non-reflux-related etiologies of their heartburn.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The poor compliance to treatment of Helicobacter pylori-infected patients is well-known. We evaluated the efficacy of daily single-dose triple therapy as compared to conventional triple therapy on patient compliance and eradication of H. pylori infection. METHODS In the study group, 105 patients received esomeprazole 40 mg, tinidazole 1 g, and levofloxacin 500 mg once-daily for 14 days. One hundred and seven patients in the control group received lansoprazole 30 mg, amoxicillin 1 g, and clarithromycin 500 mg twice-daily for 14 days. Four weeks after completing therapy, urea breath test was performed to assess the eradication of H. pylori infection. RESULTS The eradication rates by intention-to-treat analysis were 86% and 90.2% and by per-protocol analyses were 90.5% and 95.3% in the control and study groups, respectively, with no significant differences. Drug compliance was significantly better in the study group compared to the control group (p = 0.04). Overall, 44.7% of the patients in the study and 47.6% in the control groups had at least one adverse event. The most common adverse event was the dysgeusia in both the groups. The occurrence of diarrhea, nausea and vomiting was significantly higher in the control group and that of arthralgia was higher in the study group. The presence of periodontal disease and drug compliance was independently associated with treatment failure. CONCLUSION The use of single-dose PPI-based triple therapy improves drug compliance and eradication rate to standard PPI-based triple therapy. Presence of periodontal disease and drug compliance had negative influence on the eradication rate. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT02711176 ᅟ ᅟ.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Phase III study demonstrated that vonoprazan-based Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy achieved higher eradication rate compared with lansoprazole. However, there is no study that evaluated the efficacy of vonoprazan in a large sample in real world. We investigated the eradication rate and safety of vonoprazan-based eradication therapy compared with our randomized control trial using second-generation proton pump inhibitor (PPIs). METHODS (First study) A total of 147 patients who have H. pylori infection were randomly assigned to receive either, esomeprazole (EPZ) group and rabeprazole (RPZ) group. (Second study) 1,688 patients who have H. pylori infection underwent primary eradication with triple therapy involving vonoprazan. In both studies, triple therapy with amoxicillin, clarithromycin, and PPI or vonoprazan was performed, and eradication effect was assessed by an urea breath test. RESULTS (First study) Eradication rate was 77.5% in the EPZ group and 68.4% in the RPZ group; no significant difference was observed between the 2 groups. (Second study) The successful primary eradication rate was 90.8%. There was no severe adverse effect. CONCLUSIONS The eradication rate of vonoprazan-based triple therapy was remarkably higher compared with second-generation PPIs-based triple therapy in real world. Vonoprazan is very likely to become the first option for future eradication therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The proton pump inhibitors (PPI) anti-ulcer drugs are one of the most prescribed pharmacological groups in primary care. The objective of the work was to know the prescription of PPI in a Primary Care Area, the Araba district of the Basque Health Service, to advise family doctors about its correct use, and encourage the prescription of the most efficient PPIs. METHODS Descriptive study of 200 family doctors PPI prescription at the Araba district of the Basque Health Service. Data were obtained from prescriptions billed by pharmacies between 2009 and 2014. We analyzed the expenses and DHD (DDD per 1000 inhabitants/day) of PPIs dispensed and the omeprazole relative uptake compared to other PPIs. Statistical analysis was performed with IBM SPSS v23® statistic software. RESULTS IBP prescription increased by 23.75% (from 78.14 DHD in 2009 to 96.70 DHD in 2014). Their use was much higher than that of other European countries. In the same period, omeprazole relative prescription compared to other PPIs decreased by 4.56% (omeprazole % Defined daily dose (DDD) went from 74.67% in 2009 to 70.11% in 2014). The overall expenditure of these medicines decreased by 17.60%. CONCLUSIONS There is an overall increase in the prescription of PPIs, although the expenses have decreased due to price drop. Likewise there is a decrease in the relative consumption of omeprazole, although the indications approved had not changed. PPIs prescription should be done with caution since their unjustified high use in the prevention of gastropathy increases the risk of inappropriate prescriptions. The most recommended PPI continues to be omeprazole.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy and safety of esomeprazole in preventing upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding in critically ill Chinese patients, using cimetidine as an active comparator. METHODS A pre-specified non-inferiority limit (5%) was used to compare rates of significant upper GI bleeding in this randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, phase 3 study across 27 intensive care units in China. Secondary endpoints included safety and tolerability measures. Patients required mechanical ventilation and had at least one additional risk factor for stress ulcer bleeding. Patients were randomized to receive either active esomeprazole 40 mg, as a 30-min intravenous (IV) infusion twice daily, and an IV placebo cimetidine infusion or active cimetidine 50 mg/h, as a continuous infusion following an initial bolus of 300 mg, and placebo esomeprazole injections, given up to 14 days. Patients were blinded using this double-dummy technique. RESULTS Of 274 patients, 2.7% with esomeprazole and 4.6% with cimetidine had significant upper GI bleeding (bright red blood in the gastric tube not clearing after lavage or persistent Gastroccult-positive "coffee grounds" material). Non-inferiority of esomeprazole to cimetidine was demonstrated. The safety profiles of both drugs were similar and as expected in critically ill patients. CONCLUSIONS Esomeprazole is effective in preventing upper GI bleeding in critically ill Chinese patients, as demonstrated by the non-inferiority analysis using cimetidine as an active control.

Abstract
Untreated invasive aspergillosis results in high mortality rate in pediatric cancer patients. Voriconazole (VORI), the first line of treatment, requires strict dose monitoring because of its narrow therapeutic index and individual variation in plasma concentration levels. Commonly co-administered drugs; either Esomeprazole (ESO) or Ondansetron (OND) have reported drug-drug interaction with VORI that should adversely alter therapeutic outcomes of the latter. Although VORI, ESO and OND are co-administered to pediatric cancer patients, the combined effect of ESO and OND on the plasma concentration levels of VORI has not been fully explored. In this study, an accurate, reliable and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assay was developed and validated for simultaneous determination of VORI, ESO, and OND in ultra-low sample volumes (25 μL) of plasma of pediatric cancer patients. Based on the physicochemical properties of the studied drugs and internal standard, liquid-liquid extraction was successfully adopted with methyl t-butyl ether. Consistent and reproducible recovery of the three drugs and the internal standard were calculated using plasma and matrix matched samples (RE% > 72.97%, RSD < 8.29%). Chromatographic separation was carried out using UPLC with C18 column and a mobile phase of acetonitrile:water:methanol (70:25:5 V/V/V) at 0.3 mL/min. Mass spectrometric determination at positive electrospray ionization in the MRM mode was employed. The analysis was achieved within 4 min over a linear concentration range of 1.00-200.00 ng/mL for the three drugs. The assay validity was assessed as per the Food and Drug Administration guidelines for bioanalytical method validation, and satisfactory results were obtained. The accuracy and precision were within the acceptable limits for the three drugs in both quality control and incurred plasma samples. Matrix effect and process efficiency were investigated in neat solvent, post-extraction matrix, and plasma. Correlation of the plasma concentration levels of the three drugs revealed differences from the reported drug-drug interactions. This confirmed the need for simultaneous determination of VORI and co-administered drugs in order to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes. To achieve this, analysis results of this study, genetic polymorphisms in CYP2C19 and clinical data will be used to establish one model incorporating all possible factors that might lead to variation in therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is an inflammatory arthritis of unknown etiology, which lasts for greater than 6 weeks with onset before 16 years of age. JIA is the most common chronic rheumatic disease in children. NSAIDs have been the mainstay of initial management with naproxen (NAP) being commonly used, but they may cause serious side effects such as gastric ulcers which can be reduced by concomitant administration of proton pump inhibitors, such as esomeprazole (ESO). METHODS Primary objective was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 3 fixed doses of NAP/ESO in JIA patients aged 12 to 16 years. Forty-six children and adolescents with JIA by International League of Associations for Rheumatology criteria, mean age of 13.6 years, from 18 US sites were prospectively enrolled over 2 years and followed for up to 6 months. Doses of the NAP/ESO fixed combination were based on baseline weight. The exploratory efficacy outcome was assessed with the ACR Pediatric-30, - 50, - 70, - 90 Response and the Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ) discomfort and functional scores at months 1, 3, and 6 as change from baseline. Occurrence and causality were assessed for treatment emergent AEs (TEAEs) and discontinuations were monitored monthly. RESULTS Forty-six patients received at least 1 dose of naproxen/esomeprazole and 36 completed the trial. Thirty-seven (80.4%) had at least 1 treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) and, with the exception of 2 events in one patient, all of the TEAEs were mild or moderate. Frequent TEAEs (≥5% of patients) were upper respiratory tract and gastrointestinal related. Eleven (23.9%) had at least 1 TEAE considered to be related to study drug. Four patients (8.7%) discontinued due to a TEAE with one of these being the only serious AE reported, acute hepatitis. Mean number of active joints at baseline was 3.1. Improvement in JIA signs and symptoms occurred at most assessments and by month 6, the percentage of patients with an ACR Pediatric-30, - 50, - 70, and - 90 Response was 47.1, 38.2, 32.4, and 17.6%, respectively. The percent of patients achieving ACR Pediatric response increased over time. CHAQ discomfort improved at each assessment and functional scores improved at all assessments for 'Arising, Walking, and Activities' with several improved for 'Dressing and Grooming, Eating, Hygiene, and Grip'. There was no indication of a dose-related efficacy effect. CONCLUSION NAP/ESO was well tolerated in JIA patients aged 12 to 16 years with high levels of response to ACR criteria. No new safety signals were identified for the well-characterized components of this fixed dosed JIA treatment, which was developed to reduce the risk of gastric ulcers.
