Background: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) negatively impact fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy efficacy in colorectal cancer. This study assessed PPI impact on major pathologic response (mPR) rates of pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients receiving fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy.
Methods: An institutional retrospective review of resected PDAC patients receiving neoadjuvant fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy (98% FOLFIRINOX) from 2011 to 2021 was conducted. Outcomes were stratified by use or nonuse of PPIs within 6 months of neoadjuvant chemotherapy initiation. Primary outcome was mPR defined as complete or near complete response.
Results: Among 540 patients included, the median age was 64 (IQR: 60-70) years, 297 (55%) were male, and 202 (37%) were PPI users. 170 (31%) patients had mPR with similar rates among PPI users and nonusers (29% vs. 33%, p = 0.38). No difference in mPR was seen between PPI users and nonusers receiving chemoradiation (35% vs. 36%, p = 0.89) or ≥8 cycles of NAC (33% vs. 36%, p = 0.55). Median OS for PPI users was 30.9 versus 31.7 months for nonusers (p = 0.62). On multivariable analysis, PPI therapy was not associated with decreased survival.
Conclusion: PPI usage did not significantly influence mPR or OS following neoadjuvant fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy in resected PDAC patients. Further analysis of all patients, not just those who underwent resection, is required.

Background: Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) have high rates of gastrointestinal bleeding due to several risk factors including platelet dysfunction, comorbid illness, and use of antiplatelet medications. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) reduce gastrointestinal bleeding and are recommended for high-risk patients such as those prescribed dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). Whether inappropriate duration of DAPT therapy and/or lack of appropriate PPI use contribute to the known elevated risk of gastrointestinal bleeding in hemodialysis patients is not known.

Background/aims: Recent studies have shown an increased risk of lower gastrointestinal bleeding in patients who use both nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). We analyzed the risk of lower gastrointestinal bleeding and compared this risk between NSAID+PPI users and NSAID-only users.
Methods: In this retrospective, observational study, data from five hospitals were analyzed using a common data model to determine the risk of lower gastrointestinal bleeding and compare this risk between NSAID+PPI users (target cohort) and NSAID-only users (comparative cohort).

Background: Epidemiological studies have been inconsistent regarding an association between proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use and risk of primary cardiovascular disease (CVD) events.
Methods: We studied 85,189 postmenopausal women (mean age 63 years at baseline) without known CVD at enrollment into the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study (1993-1998). PPI use was determined from medication inventories at baseline and Year-3.

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are among the most widely used drugs worldwide. However, their influence on the progression of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in established chronic kidney disease (CKD) cases is unclear. Using the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment database encoded by the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership-Common Data Model (OMOP-CDM), patients with stage 3 or 4 CKD initiating PPIs or histamine-2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs) for over 90 days were enrolled from 2012 through 2021.

Aims: , the dominating cause of gastric cancer, most often infects children initiating inflammation in the antral part and spreads orally to the oxyntic mucosa. Traditionally, eradication of has been based upon a combination of antibiotics together with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) to reduce gastric destruction of the antibiotics. Recently it has been shown that the more efficient inhibitors of acid secretion, the potassium-competitive acid blockers (PCABs) in combination with amoxicillin alone gave highly sufficient eradication.
