Is the era of intravenous proton pump inhibitors coming to an end in patients with bleeding peptic ulcers? Meta-analysis of the published literature.

ABSTRACT: AIMS:Oral and intravenous proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are equipotent in raising gastric pH. However, it is not known whether oral PPIs can replace intravenous PPIs in patients with bleeding peptic ulcers. METHODS:We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to compare oral and intravenous PPIs among patients with peptic ulcer bleeding. A search of all major databases and relevant journals from inception to April 2015, without a restriction on languages, was performed. RESULTS:A total of 859 patients from seven randomized controlled trials were included in the meta-analysis. Similar pooled outcome measures were demonstrated between the two groups in terms of oral PPIs vs. intravenous PPIs in the rate of recurrent bleeding within the 30-day follow-up period [risk ratio = 0.90; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.58, 1.39; P = 0.62; I(2) = 0%). In terms of the rate of mortality, both oral and intravenous PPIs showed similar outcomes, and the pooled risk ratio was 0.88 (95% CI: 0.29, 2.71; P = 0.82; I(2) = 0%). Likewise, no significant difference was detected in the need for blood transfusion and length of hospital stay; the pooled mean differences were -0.14 (95% CI: -0.39, 0.12; P = 0.29; I(2) = 32%) and -0.60 (95% CI: -1.42, 0.23; P = 0.16; I(2) = 79%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS:Our results suggest that oral PPIs are a feasible, safe alternative to intravenous PPIs in patients with bleeding peptic ulcers, and may be able to replace intravenous PPIs as the treatment of choice in these patients.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Proton pump inhibitors, which are widely used as acid-inhibitory agents for the treatment of peptic ulcers, are mainly metabolized by 2C19 isoenzyme of cytochrome P450 (CYP2C19). CYP2C19 has genetic polymorphisms, associated with extensive, poor, intermediate or ultra-rapid metabolism of proton pump inhibitors. Genetic polymorphisms of CYP2C19 could be of clinical concern in the treatment of peptic ulcers with proton pump inhibitors. AIM:To investigate the frequencies of CYP2C19*2, CYP2C19*3, and CYP2C19*17 alleles and genotypes in Russian patients with peptic ulcers. METHODS:We retrospectively reviewed the cases of 971 patients of Caucasian origin with Russian nationality from Moscow region with endoscopically and histologically proven ulcers, 428 males (44%) and 543 females (56%). The mean age was 44.6±11.9 years (range: 15-88 years). DNA was extracted from ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid whole blood samples (10 mL). The polymorphisms CYP2C19 681G.A (CYP2C19*2, rs4244285), CYP2C19 636 G.A (CYP2C19*3, rs4986893) and CYP2C19 -806 C.T (CYP2C19*17, rs12248560) were evaluated using real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS:Regarding CYP2C19 genotype, 317 patients (32.65%) out of 971 were CYP2C19*1/*1 carriers classified as extensive metabolizers. Three hundred and eighty-six (39.75%) with CYP2C19*1/*17 or CYP2C19*17/*17 genotype were ultra-rapid metabolizers. Two hundred and fifty-one people (25.85%) were intermediate metabolizers with CYP2C19*1/*2, CYP2C19*2/*17, CYP2C19*1/*3, CYP2C19*3/*17 genotypes. Seventeen patients (1.75%) with CYP2C19*2/*2, CYP2C19*3/*3, CYP2C19*2/*3 genotypes were poor metabolizers. The allele frequencies were the following: CYP2C19*2 - 0.140, CYP2C19*3 - 0.006, CYP2C19*17 - 0.274. CONCLUSION:There is a high frequency of CYP2C19 genotypes associated with modified response to proton pump inhibitors in Russian patients with peptic ulcers. Genotyping for CYP2C19 polymorphisms is suggested to be a useful tool for personalized dosing of proton pump inhibitors.

Project description:Current guidelines recommend an intravenous bolus dose of a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) followed by continuous PPI infusion after endoscopic therapy in patients with high-risk bleeding ulcers. Substitution of intermittent PPI therapy, if similarly effective as bolus plus continuous-infusion PPI therapy, would decrease the PPI dose, costs, and resource use.To compare intermittent PPI therapy with the currently recommended bolus plus continuous-infusion PPI regimen for reduction of ulcer rebleeding.Searches included MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases through December 2013; US and European gastroenterology meeting abstracts from 2009 to 2013; and bibliographies of systematic reviews.Randomized trials of patients with endoscopically treated high-risk bleeding ulcers (active bleeding, nonbleeding visible vessels, and adherent clots) comparing intermittent doses of PPIs and the currently recommended regimen (80-mg intravenous bolus dose of a PPI followed by an infusion of 8 mg/h for 72 hours).Duplicate independent data extraction and risk-of-bias assessment were performed. Data were pooled using a fixed-effects model or a random effects model if statistical heterogeneity was present.The primary outcome was rebleeding within 7 days; additional predefined outcomes included rebleeding within 3 and 30 days, need for urgent intervention, mortality, red blood cell transfusion, and length of hospital stay. The primary hypothesis, defined before initiation of the literature review, was that intermittent use of PPIs was noninferior to bolus plus continuous infusion of PPIs, with the noninferiority margin predefined as an absolute risk difference of 3%.The risk ratio of rebleeding within 7 days for intermittent vs bolus plus continuous infusion of PPIs was 0.72 (upper boundary of 1-sided 95% CI, 0.97) and the absolute risk difference was -2.64% (upper boundary of 1-sided 95% CI, -0.28%, which is well below the predefined noninferiority margin of 3%). Risk ratios for rebleeding within 30 days and 3 days, mortality, and urgent interventions were less than 1 and mean differences for blood transfusion and hospital length of stay were less than 0, indicating that no summary estimate showed an increased risk with intermittent therapy. The upper boundaries of 95% CIs for absolute risk differences were less than 1.50% for all predefined rebleeding outcomes.Intermittent PPI therapy is comparable to the current guideline-recommended regimen of intravenous bolus plus a continuous infusion of PPIs in patients with endoscopically treated high-risk bleeding ulcers. Guidelines should be revised to recommend intermittent PPI therapy.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Vonoprazan is a potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB) that is frequently used in Japan for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication, treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease, and treatment of post endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) complications. We sought to determine if vonoprazan was superior to proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) for treating ESD-induced ulcers (as assessed by ulcer healing and shrinkage ratios) and preventing delayed bleeding over various treatment durations (2, 4, and 8 weeks). METHODS:We collected randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies that discussed the effectiveness of vonoprazan and PPIs on ESD-induced ulcers and bleeding from PubMed, Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Google Scholar. Studies were selected according to pre-established eligibility criteria and data were extracted separately by 2 researchers with double-check. We used the Cochrane risk of bias tool to assess RCTs and the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale to assess observational studies. Meta-analyses, based on the random-effects model, were conducted to compare differences in ulcer shrinkage ratios (%) and odds ratios (ORs) for ulcer healing and delayed bleeding. Publication bias was evaluated using funnel plots and Egger regression test. Heterogeneity was assessed using I statistics. A sensitivity analysis was conducted to check the robustness of results. The evidential quality of the findings was assessed using the GRADE profiler. RESULTS:Thirteen studies were included in this meta-analysis. The OR effect sizes of vonoprazan relative to PPIs for ulcer healing were 1.33 (P = .13) with a 95% CI (0.33-3.21) at 4 weeks and 1.48 (P = .09) with a 95% CI (0.81-5.20) at 8 weeks. The overall effect size for the shrinkage ratio was 12.24% (P = .16) with a 95% CI (-4.96-29.44) at 2 weeks. The effect size of its subgroup of H. pylori-positive patients was 19.51% (P < .001) with a 95% CI (11.91-27.12). The overall OR for the occurrence of delayed bleeding was 0.66 (P = .26) with a 95% CI (0.32-1.35). After excluding combination drug studies, the overall ORs between vonoprazan and PPIs on ulcer healing and delayed bleeding were 1.44 and 0.76, respectively. CONCLUSION:During the first 2 weeks of treatment, vonoprazan was more effective than PPIs for treating H. pylori-positive patients with ESD-induced gastric ulcers.
