Background: The pharmacokinetic and clinical behaviors of many proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in peptic ulcer treatment are altered by CYP2C19 genetic polymorphisms. This non-inferiority study evaluated the efficacy and safety of the novel PPI anaprazole compared with rabeprazole. We also explored the influence of Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ) infection status and CYP2C19 polymorphism on anaprazole.

Methods: In this multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, positive-drug parallel-controlled, phase III study, Chinese patients with duodenal ulcers were randomized 1:1 to receive rabeprazole 10 mg + anaprazole placebo or rabeprazole placebo + anaprazole 20 mg once daily for 4 weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint was the 4-week ulcer healing rate assessed by blinded independent review. Secondary endpoints were the proportion of patients with improved overall and individual duodenal ulcer symptoms at 4 weeks. Furthermore, exploratory subgroup analysis of the primary endpoint by H. pylori status and CYP2C19 polymorphism was conducted. Adverse events were monitored for safety. Non-inferiority analysis was conducted for the primary endpoint.

Results: The study enrolled 448 patients (anaprazole, n = 225; rabeprazole, n = 223). The 4-week healing rates were 90.9% and 93.7% for anaprazole and rabeprazole, respectively (difference, -2.8% [95% confidence interval, -7.7%, 2.2%]), demonstrating non-inferiority of anaprazole to rabeprazole. Overall duodenal ulcer symptoms improved in 90.9% and 92.5% of patients, respectively. Improvement rates of individual symptoms were similar between the groups. Healing rates did not significantly differ by H. pylori status or CYP2C19 genotype for either treatment group. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events was similar for anaprazole (72/220, 32.7%) and rabeprazole (84/219, 38.4%).

Conclusions: The efficacy of anaprazole is non-inferior to that of rabeprazole in Chinese patients with duodenal ulcers.

The CYP2C19 enzyme is implicated in the metabolism of several clinically used drugs. Its phenotype is usually predicted by genotyping and indicates the expected enzymatic activity for each patient. However, with a few exceptions, genotyping has not resulted in a reliable prediction of the metabolizer status, since most of the evidence currently available for this prediction comes from research into populations of predominantly European ancestry.

Background: Both high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and CYP2C19 genotypes are independent predictors of clinical outcomes after ischemic stroke. We aim to evaluate the association of CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles (LoFA) carrying status with the effects of dual/single antiplatelet therapy at different hsCRP levels using the CHANCE trial.

Methods: Subjects with both of CYP2C19 major alleles information (*2, *3, and *17) and hsCRP measurements were enrolled from the prespecified subgroup.

Article Synopsis
  • Atherosclerosis is linked to chronic inflammation and lipid metabolism, significantly contributing to premature myocardial infarction (PMI) in men under 55 and women under 65.
  • A study involving 485 PMI patients and 639 controls found higher inflammatory indices and specific genotypes associated with PMI risk.
  • Independent risk factors for PMI include being male, smoking history, diabetes, poor metabolism of CYP2C19, and elevated triglycerides and SIRI levels.

Article Synopsis
  • * A significant portion (25.5%) of patients were identified as intermediate or poor metabolizers (IM/PM), resulting in a higher usage of alternative therapies compared to normal metabolizers.
  • * Although the study suggests that pre-emptive genotyping for selecting antiplatelet therapy is effective, further research with larger sample sizes is needed to determine its impact on clinical outcomes.
