A Multicenter, Randomized, Open-Label Trial: Efficacy of Once-Daily Versus Twice-Daily Double-Dose Rabeprazole on Refractory Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease-Related Symptoms and Quality of Life.

ABSTRACT: Approximately 20% to 40% of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are refractory to standard-dose proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) treatment.We compared the efficacy and quality-of-life effects of 20 mg once daily (QD) versus 10 mg twice daily (BID) rabeprazole (RPZ) in patients with refractory GERD-related symptoms and sleep disturbances.This multicenter, prospective, randomized, open-label study included patients in whom PPI treatment >4 weeks was ineffective. According to the Global Overall Symptom (GOS) scale, PPI-refractory GERD was defined as ?1 category with >3 points among 10 specific upper gastrointestinal symptoms. Seventy-eight patients were randomly assigned to 20 mg QD and 10 mg BID RPZ groups for 8 weeks. Efficacy was evaluated using self-reported questionnaires, including the GOS scale and Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), whereas quality of life was assessed using the Short-Form 8 Health Survey (SF-8), at 4 and 8 weeks. Patients showing improvement at 8 weeks received follow-up every 4 to 8 weeks.GOS scale scores were significantly improved at 8 weeks in both groups, with no significant intergroup differences. Although SF-8 scores showed an increasing trend over 8 weeks in both groups, the physical component summaries in the 10 mg BID group significantly improved. The mental component summaries clearly improved in the 10 mg BID group. Of the 74 cases (4 missing), 51 (68.9%) had PSQI scores ?5.5. PSQI scores remained unchanged during follow-up in both groups. The recurrence rate was not significantly different (46.1% vs 47.1% in the 20 mg QD and 10 mg BID groups, respectively) during the follow-up period at median (interquartile range) 24.0 (30.5) months.In patients with refractory GERD, there was no significant difference in GOS scale score, PSQI, or recurrence rate between the groups. With regard to subscores of the SF-8, the 10 mg BID group might be potentially effective.

Project description:BackgroundAntiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence is critical for successful HIV treatment outcomes. Once-daily dosing could improve adherence. Plasma concentrations of once-daily vs twice-daily abacavir + lamivudine are bioequivalent in children, but no randomized trial has compared virological outcomes.MethodsChildren taking abacavir + lamivudine-containing first-line regimens twice daily for more than 36 weeks in the ARROW trial (NCT02028676, ISRCTN24791884) were randomized to continue twice-daily vs move to once-daily abacavir + lamivudine (open-label). Co-primary outcomes were viral load suppression at week 48 (12% noninferiority margin, measured retrospectively) and lamivudine or abacavir-related grade 3/4 adverse events.ResultsSix hundred and sixty-nine children (median 5 years, range 1-16) were randomized to twice daily (n = 333) vs once daily (n = 336) after median 1.8 years on twice-daily abacavir + lamivudine-containing first-line ART. Children were followed for median 114 weeks. At week 48, 242/331 (73%) twice daily vs 236/330 (72%) once daily had viral load less than 80 copies/ml [difference -1.6% (95% confidence interval -8.4,+5.2%) P = 0.65]; 79% twice daily vs 78% once daily had viral load less than 400 copies/ml (P = 0.76) (week 96 results similar). One grade 3/4 adverse event was judged uncertainly related to abacavir + lamivudine (hepatitis; once daily). At week 48, 9% twice daily vs 10% once daily reported missing one or more ART pills in the last 4 weeks (P = 0.74) and 8 vs 8% at week 96 (P = 0.90). Carers strongly preferred once-daily dosing. There was no difference between randomized groups in postbaseline drug-resistance mutations or drug-susceptibility; WHO 3/4 events; ART-modifying, grade 3/4 or serious adverse events; CD4% or weight-for-age/height-for-age (all P > 0.15).ConclusionOnce-daily abacavir + lamivudine was noninferior to twice daily in viral load suppression, with similar resistance, adherence, clinical, immunological and safety outcomes. Abacavir + lamivudine provides the first once-daily nucleoside backbone across childhood that can be used to simplify ART.
