EFFECT OF CYP2C19 GENETIC POLYMORPHISMS ON THE EFFICACY OF PROTON PUMP INHIBITOR-BASED TRIPLE ERADICATION THERAPY IN SLAVIC PATIENTS WITH PEPTIC ULCERS: A META-ANALYSIS.

Introduction: Several meta-analyzes reported the effect of CYP2C19 genetic polymorphisms on the efficacy of proton pump inhibitor-based triple therapy for Helicobacter pylori eradication. Most of the studies which were included in these meta-analyzes were held on Asian population. Thus, there is lack of information about the effect of CYP2C19 genetic polymorphisms on the efficacy of proton pump inhibitor-based triple eradication therapy in Slavic patients with peptic ulcers. The aim of the study - to determine whether CYP2C19 affect the efficacy of proton pump inhibitor-based triple eradica- tion therapy in Slavic patients with peptic ulcers.

Methods: Data search was performed using Russian index of scientific citation database, Google Scholar and MEDLINE PubMed. Statistics was held in Review Manager v 5.3. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% Cl) for eradication of H.pylori was estimated in a fixed-effect model when no heterogeneity across the studies was indicated.

Results: Four articles published between 2008 and 2015 were included in meta-analysis (three Russian studies, one Polish study). Eradication rates were significantly lower in CYP2C19 extensive metabolizers of proton pump inhibitors than in a combined group of intermediate and poor metabolizers (OR = 1,90, CI-95% 1,08-3,34, p = 0,03; heterogeneity: 12= 0%, p = 0,74). We also found that proton pump inhibitor-based triple eradication therapy achieved higher rates in poor metabolizers than in a combined group of intermediate and extensive metabolizers of CYP2C19 (OR= 5,48 CI-95% 1,51-19,93, p = 0,01; heterogeneity: F= 0%, p = 0,66).

Conclusion: The impact of CYP2C19 genetic polymorphisms on the efficacy of proton pump inhibitor-based triple eradication therapy in Slavic patients appears significant.
