AI Article Synopsis

  • Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is commonly treated with proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs), but potassium-competitive acid inhibitors (P-CABs) are becoming more popular and were evaluated for their effectiveness and safety.
  • A systematic review analyzed 14 randomized controlled trials involving nearly 4,900 participants to compare the efficacy of P-CABs to PPIs and placebo, focusing on symptom improvement and adverse effects.
  • Results indicated that P-CABs have a higher healing rate and effectiveness than PPIs or placebo, with similar safety outcomes, suggesting they are a viable alternative treatment for GERD.

Article Abstract

Background: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common disease caused by reflux of gastric contents to the esophagus. Proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) are recommended as a first-line therapy to treat GERD. Recently, the potassium-competitive acid inhibitors have been increasingly in use in clinical practice. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of P-CABs in GERD.

Methods: We searched PubMed, the Cochrane Library, EMBASE and Web Of Science for publications regarding randomized controlled trials comparing potassium-competitive acid inhibitors to PPI monotherapy or Placebo with respect to efficacy and safety in GERD (until April 2023). The primary outcome was an absence or global symptom improvement and the incidence of adverse events in GERD. The quality of the included literature was assessed using the bias assessment tool recommended in the Cochrane Systematic Assessor's Handbook 5.1.0. We use RevMan 5.3 software for Meta-analysis, sensitivity analysis and publication bias analysis.

Results: Of the 991 screened studies, 14 studies including 4868 participants were analyzed. The ORs for the healing rates of GERD with P-CABs versus PPI/Placebo were 2.10 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.53-2.88), additionally, 1.09 (95% CI 1.05-1.14), 1.03 (95% CI 1.00-1.06) and 1.03 (95% CI 0.99-1.06) in Weeks 2, 4, and 8, respectively. The effectiveness rate of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (RR 1.73; 95% CI 1.27-2.36). The overall OR of Incidence of adverse events with P-CABs versus PPI/Placebo was 1.08 (95% CI 0.88-1.12). Overall, the risk of bias was low to some concerns. Furthermore, sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of the study's conclusion.

Conclusions: Our findings suggest that potassium-competitive acid inhibitors is non-inferior to PPIs as therapy for patients with GERD. The safety outcomes for potassium-competitive acid inhibitors are similar to those for PPIs.

Background: Tegoprazan (TPZ), a potassium-competitive acid blocker with potent gastric acid-suppressing activity, may be a potential agent for treating infection. The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of TPZ-based therapy for eradication compared with proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-based therapy.

Research Design And Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted up to August 2024 using PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library to investigate the beneficial effects of TPZ-based therapy for eradication.

Maintenance therapy is crucial in managing and preventing symptom relapse in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), with continuous and on-demand therapy being the common approaches. However, maintenance therapy using potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs), such as fexuprazan, remains incompletely evaluated. This single-center, single-arm, prospective cohort study enrolled individuals with weekly heartburn or acid regurgitation and confirmed erosive esophagitis.

Objective: To explore the current research status and trends of potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs) in the treatment of acid related diseases (ARDs) using bibliometric analysis.

Materials And Methods: We collected publications related to P-CAB in the treatment of acid-related diseases in the Web of Science (WOS) Core Collection from the establishment of the database to 30 June 2024. We evaluated the publication volume and citation status over the years using the WOS platform, and visualized the authors, countries, institutions, keywords, and citations of the publications using CiteSpace and VOSviewer.

Aims: We aimed to examine the recent trends in the use of acid suppression therapies, including proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), histamine-2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs) and potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs), in patients undergoing dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) as aspirin-clopidogrel following coronary stent implantation in South Korea between 2018 and 2022.

Methods: This observational study analysed data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA) on patients who underwent coronary stent implantation and received aspirin-clopidogrel DAPT. Patients who received acid suppression therapy for >60 days during DAPT were included in the analysis.
