Recently, vonoprazan, a novel potassium-competitive acid blocker, has also been used in ulcer treatment after ESD. Methods We searched for all relevant randomized controlled trials examining the efficacy of anti-ulcer medications after gastric ESD, published through October 2017. Healing of iatrogenic ulcers was investigated at 4–8 weeks after ESD. A network meta-analysis was performed to calculate the network estimates. Results Twenty-one studies with 2005 patients were included. Concerning the comparative efficacy for ulcer healing at 4 weeks after ESD, no network inconsistency was identified (Cochran’s Q-test, df = 10, P = 0.13; I2 = 34%). A combination therapy of proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) and muco-protective agent was superior to PPI alone [risk ratio (RR) (95% confi- dence interval, CI) 1.69 (1.20–2.39)]. The combination therapy of PPI and muco-protective agents tended to be superior to vonoprazan [RR (95% CI) 1.98 (0.99–3.94)]. There was no difference of ulcer healing effect between PPI and vonoprazan [RR (95% CI) PPI vs.

  • Bismuth Salts for Gastrointestinal Issues: a Review of the Clinical Effectiveness and Guidelines DATE
    TITLE: Bismuth Salts for Gastrointestinal Issues: A Review of the Clinical Effectiveness and Guidelines DATE: 24 November 2015 CONTEXT AND POLICY ISSUES Oral bismuth formulations have been used effectively for prophylaxis and treatment of both diarrhea and for treatment of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection.1,2 Bismuth formulations available without a prescription have been commonly used to treat episodic diarrhea for over a century. Bismuth has also been used to treat ulcers prior to the appreciation of its antimicrobial activity against the then unknown causative micro-organism, H. pylori.1 Episodes of diarrhea are especially common in travelers to resource-poor countries. It is estimated that 30% to 70% of international travelers will develop diarrhea during travels or upon return. Typically diarrhea is self-diagnosed and the causal infectious agent remains unknown. While the condition is frequently self-limiting, treatment can reduce the duration, severity, and inconvenience of diarrhea while travelling. Commonly used treatments include antibiotics, antimotility agents, oral rehydration solutions, and bismuth subsalicylate.2 H. pylori infection is a substantial public health concern as it plays a causative role in the pathogenesis of many gastrointestinal conditions such as gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric cancer.3 Current treatment regimens designed to eradicate infection utilize more than one antibiotic simultaneously in a standard triple therapy (STT) consisting of a proton-pump inhibitor (PPI), and two antibiotics.

Whilst interest in drug devel- opment for GERD has declined over the last few years primarily due to the conversion of most proton pump inhibitor (PPI)’s to generic and over the counter compounds, there are still numerous areas of unmet needs in GERD. Drug development has been focused on potent histamine type 2 receptor antagonist’s, extended release PPI’s, PPI combination, potassium-competitive acid blockers, transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation reducers, prokinetics, mucosal protectants and esophageal pain modulators. It is likely that the aforementioned compounds will be niched for specific areas of unmet need in GERD, rather than compete with the presently available anti-reflux therapies. (J Neurogastroenterol Motil 2014;20:6-16) Key Words Erosive esophagitis; Gastroesophageal reflux; Heartburn; Proton pump inhibitors Most patients with GERD fall into 1 of 3 categories: non- erosive reflux disease (NERD), erosive esophagitis (EE), and Introduction Barrett’s esophagus (BE).
