Oral esomeprazole in Japanese pediatric patients with gastric acid‐related disease: Safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics

Abstract: Background Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are widely used for the treatment of gastric acid‐related disease, but they are not approved for use in children in Japan. To assess the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy (gastrointestinal symptom improvement) of PPI in Japanese pediatric patients with gastric acid‐related disease, we conducted an 8 week, open‐label, parallel‐group, multicenter, phase I/III study of once‐daily oral esomeprazole use. Methods Japanese children, aged 1–14 years with g… Show more

“…This approach has received widespread attention from regulatory authorities ( FDA, 2022 ). According to previous studies ( Lew, 1999 ; Shimizu et al, 2019 ), PPIs are eliminated rapidly in vivo, to the extent that they cannot be detected in the blood shortly after administration. This poses a challenge for obtaining PK parameters and confirming the relationship between exposure and response.…”

“…In this issue of the Journal, Shimizu et al . report on the safety, tolerability, clinical efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of esomeprazole, which is the only PPI approved in Japan for use in pediatric patients (≥1 year of age) with gastric acid‐related diseases, and conclude that no marked safety concerns are evident . Therefore, when selecting oral PPI for pediatric patients, it may be easier for physicians to choose esomeprazole.…”

“…Shimizu et al suggest that esomeprazole may be beneficial for use in H. pylori eradication therapy. 2 The Japanese Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition recently published their updated guidelines for the management of H. pylori infection in childhood. 3 Pediatric PPI doses (lansoprazole, omeprazole, rabeprazole, and esomeprazole) used for eradication of H. pylori are listed in these guidelines.…”
