Efficacy of vonoprazan for initial and maintenance therapy in reflux esophagitis, nonerosive esophagitis, and proton pump inhibitor-resistant gastroesophageal reflux disease
Abstract:Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have been the first line treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of vonoprazan (VPZ), a potassium-competitive acid blocker for reflux esophagitis (RE), nonerosive reflux disease (NERD), and PPI-resistant GERD patients.
An open-label, single-center, observational study in our hospital was performed from August 2016 to August 2017. All patients diagnosed with GERD were asked to self-report a questionnaire of… Show more

Background: Vonoprazan, a novel acid-suppressive drug, is non-inferior to proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) for the management of gastric acid-related diseases. However, the safety of vonoprazan has not been systematically evaluated yet. Objectives: To elucidate the incidence and type of adverse events (AEs) in patients taking vonoprazan. Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Data sources and methods: PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for all studies reporting the safety of vonoprazan. The incidences of any AEs, drug-related AEs, serious AEs, AEs leading to drug discontinuation, and common AEs were pooled. Odds ratios (ORs) were calculated to compare the incidence of AEs between patients taking vonoprazan and PPIs. Results: Seventy-seven studies were included. The pooled incidences of any AEs, drug-related AEs, serious AEs, and AEs leading to drug discontinuation were 20, 7, 1, and 1%, respectively. The incidences of any AEs (OR = 0.96, p = 0.66), drug-related AEs (OR = 1.10, p = 0.44), serious AEs (OR = 1.14, p = 0.36), and AEs leading to drug discontinuation (OR = 1.09, p = 0.55) were not significantly different between patients taking vonoprazan and PPIs. In subgroup analyses, patients with peptic ulcer disease (PUD) had higher incidences of any AEs, serious AEs, and AEs leading to drug discontinuation than those with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori) infection, and artificial ulcer after gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), but patients with H. pylori infection had a higher incidence of drug-related AEs than those with PUD, GERD, and artificial ulcer after gastric ESD. The incidence of AEs was higher in patients taking long-term use of vonoprazan than those taking short-term use of vonoprazan. Conclusion: Vonoprazan is well tolerated and shows similar safety compared to PPIs. The safety of vonoprazan may be primarily influenced by its indications and duration.

Background and AimUp to 40% of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) patients experience inadequate symptom relief with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), termed PPI‐resistant or refractory GERD. Vonoprazan, a potassium‐competitive acid blocker, has better efficacy than PPI in suppressing gastric acid secretion. This meta‐analysis summarizes the efficacy and safety of vonoprazan for treating PPI‐resistant GERD (both erosive esophagitis [EE] and non‐erosive reflux disease [NERD]).MethodsFour electronic databases (Medline, Embase, SCOPUS, and CENTRAL) were searched for studies indexed until August 1, 2023. Both observational studies and clinical trials assessing the efficacy and safety of vonoprazan in PPI‐resistant GERD were included. Efficacy outcomes included healing and maintenance rates of EE and improvement of the Frequency Scale for Symptoms of GERD (FSSG) scores. Serious adverse events (SAEs) were considered a safety outcome. The modified Newcastle‐Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to assess study quality.ResultsTwelve studies were included in this meta‐analysis. Healing rates of PPI‐resistant EE with vonoprazan 20 mg were 91.7% (95% CI 86.8–94.8%) and 88.5% (95% CI 69.7–96.2%) at weeks 4 and 8, respectively. For healed PPI‐resistant EE, the overall maintenance rates with vonoprazan 10 mg were 82.6% (95% 61.2–95.0%) at week 8, 86.0% (95% CI 72.1–94.7%) at week 24, and 93.8% (95% CI 69.8–99.8%) at week 48. FSSG scores were improved in 74.6% (95% CI 65.8–81.7%) and 51.9% (95% CI 37.8–65.7%) of patients at weeks 4 and 8. Overall, no SAE was reported.ConclusionVonoprazan demonstrated high efficacy in the healing and maintenance of PPI‐resistant EE and moderate efficacy for the improvement of FSSG score. Vonoprazan was well tolerated in PPI‐resistant GERD patients.
“…Moreover, some patients remained symptom‐free for 4 weeks 159 . An open‐label, single‐center observational study showed that both initial and maintenance vonoprazan therapies significantly improved heartburn in patients with PPI‐resistant GERD 160 …”
