This report shows that the efficacy of 10 mg dexrabeprazole daily is equivalent to that of 20 mg dexrabeprazole daily against GERD. This implies that a dose of 10 mg dexra- beprazole is sufficient to block the maximum amount of proton pumps without any need to double the dose as suggested with rabeprazole.展开更多

Fifty patients with GERD were randomly assigned to receive dexrabeprazole 10 mg or rabeprazole 20 mg once daily. Efficacy was assessed by evaluating improvement in visual analog scale （VAS） scores of heart-burn and regurgitation and safety was assessed by recording incidence of any adverse drug reactions. Laboratory investigations and upper gastro-intestinal endoscopy was conducted at baseline and after 28 d of therapy.RESULTS： A total of 50 patients （n = 25 in dexrabeprazole group and rabeprazole group each） completed the study. There were no significant differences in the baseline characteristics between the two groups. The VAS score （mean 4. SD） of heartburn and regurgitation in dexrabeprazole （64.8±5.1 and 64 ± 8.1, respectively） and rabeprazole （64.4 ± 8.7 and 57.6 ± 9.7, respectively） groups significantly reduced （P 〈 0.0001） to 30 ± 11.5, 24 ± 10 and 32 ± 9.5, 29.2±11.9, respectively on d 28. A significantly higher （P = 0.002） proportion of patients showed ≥ 50% improvement in regurgitation with dexrabeprazole 10 mg （96%） compared to rabeprazole 20 mg （60%）. Onset of symptom improvement was significantly earlier with dexrabeprazole than with rabeprazole （1.8 ± 0.8 d vs 2.6 ± 1.4 d; P 〈0.05）. The incidences of esophagitis in the dexrabeprazole group and rabeprazole group before therapy were 84% and 92%, respectively （P = 0.38）. The incidence of improvement/healing of esophagitis after therapy was more （P = 0,036） in the dexrabeprazole group （95.2%） compared to the rabeprazole group （65.2%）. No adverse drug reaction was seen in either group.CONCLUSION： In the treatment of GERD, efficacy of dexrabeprazole 10 mg is better than rabeprazole 20 mg, with regards to improvement/healing of endoscopic lesions and relief from symptoms of regurgitation.展开更多

METHODS: Subjects comprised patients undergoing NSAID treatment in whom upper gastrointestinal en-doscopy revealed an ulcerous lesion (open ulcer) with diameter ≥ 3 mm, who required continuous NSAID treatment. Endoscopies were performed at the start of treatment, during the treatment period, and at the conclusion (or discontinuation) of treatment. Findings were evaluated as size (maximum diameter) and stage based on the Sakita-Miwa classifi cation. An ulcer was regarded as cured when the "white coating" was seen to have disappeared under endoscopy. As criteria for evaluating safety, all medically untoward symptoms and signs (adverse events, laboratory abnormalities, accidental symptoms, etc.) occurring after the start of rabeprazole treatment were handled as adverse events.RESULTS: Endoscopic cure rate in 38 patients in the efficacy analysis (endoscopic evaluation) was 71.1% (27/38). Among those 38 patients, 35 had gastric ulcer with a cure rate of 71.4% (25/35), and 3 had duodenal ulcer with a cure rate of 66.7% (2/3). Three adverse drug reactions were reported from 64 patients in the safety analysis (interstitial pneumonia, low white blood cell count and pruritus); thus, the incidence rate for adverse drug reactions was 4.7% (3/64).CONCLUSION: The treatment efficacy of rabeprazole for NSAID-induced ulcer under continuous NSAID ad-ministration was confi rmed.展开更多

METHODS： Eighty-three patients with symptoms suggestive of GERD were enrolled by general practitioners in this multi-centre, randomized and doubleblind study. All patients received either rabeprazole （20 mg bid） or a placebo for one week. The diagnosis of GERD was established on the presence of mucosal breaks at endoscopy and/or an abnormal esophageal 24-h pH test. The test was considered to be positive if patients reported at least a ＂clear improvement＂ of symptoms on a 7-point Likert scale. RESULTS： The sensitivities of the test for rabeprazole and the placebo were 83% and 40%, respectively. The corresponding specificity, positive and negative predictive values were 45% and 67%, 71% and 71%, and 62% and 35%, respectively. A receiver operating characteristics （ROC） analysis confirmed that the best discriminatory cut-off corresponded to description of ＂clear improvement＂ CONCLUSION： The poor specificity of the proton-pump inhibitor （PPI） test does not support such an approach to establish a diagnosis of GERD in a primary care setting.展开更多

Three patients were excluded from analysis because of incomplete compliance. Either a follow-up endoscopy or 13 C-urea test was performed to determine the results of H. pylori eradication therapy. The genotypes of CYP2C19 and IL-1β were analyzed to investigate the impact on treatment effect. RESULTS The total eradication rate of H. pylori was 92.94%(79/85). According to the CYP2C19 genotypes, the rates of H. pylori eradication were 89.19% in extensive metabolizers(EM) and 95.83% in non-EM. The H.pylori eradication rates regarding the IL-1β genotypes were 92.59% in the normal acid secretion group and 93.10% in the low acid secretion group. After multivariable logistic regression analysis, both the genotypes of CYP2C19 and IL-1β had no significant influences on the eradication rates of H. pylori.CONCLUSION The CYP2C19 and IL-1β polymorphisms are not significantly independent factors of H.pylori eradication using rabeprazole-based hybrid therapy.展开更多

The extraction method based on liquid-liquid extraction technique was used to extract the analytes and IS from of 50 μL of human plasma using methyl tert-butyl ether：ethyl acetate （80：20, v/v）, which offers a high recovery. Chromatographic separation of analytes and IS was achieved on a Hypersil gold C18 column using gradient mobile phase consisting of 2 mM ammonium formate/acetonitrile. The flow rate was set at 0.5 mL/min to elute all the analytes and IS within 1.00 min runtime. Detection of target compounds was performed on a triple quadruple mass spectrometer by multiple reaction monitoring （MRM） mode via positive electrospray ionization （ESI）. Method validation results demonstrated that the developed method has good precision and accuracy over the concentration ranges of 0.1-2000 ng/mL for each analyte. Stability of compounds was established in a battery of stability studies, i.e., bench top, autosampler, dry extract and long-term storage stability as well as freeze-thaw cycles. The validated method has been successfully applied to analyze human plasma samples for application in pharmaco- kinetic studies.展开更多

Separations were achieved on X-Bridge CI 8 column using two mobile phases： the first for RZ-MR mixture consisted of acetonitrile： 0.（125 M KH,PO4 solution： TEA （30：69：1 v/v; pH 7.0）; the second for RZ-IO mixture was at ratio of 25：74：1 Iv/v： pH 9.25J. The detection wavelength was 283 nm. The two methods were validated and wdidation acceptance criteria were met in all cases. Peak purity testing using contrast angle theory, relative absorbance and log A versus the wavelengths plots were presented. The % recoveries of the intact drugs were between 99.1% and 102.2% with RSD% values less than 1.6%. Application of the proposed HPLC methods indicated that the methods could be adopted to follow the stability of their formulations.展开更多

Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) is important in the eradication regimen. The principal enzyme implicated in the metabolism of PPIs is CYP2C19. The effects of PPI depend on metabolic enzyme, cytochrome P450 enzymes, and CYP2C19 with genetic differences in the activity of this enzyme (the homozygous EM, heterozygous EM (HetEM), and poor metabolizer). The frequency of the CYP2C19 polymorphism is highly varied among different ethnic populations. The CYP2C19 genotype is a cardinal factor of H. pylori eradication in patients taking omeprazole- based or lansoprazole-based triple therapies. In contrast, the CYP2C19 polymorphism has no significant effect on the rabeprazole-based or esomeprazole-based triple therapies. The efficacy of levofloxacin-based rescue triple therapy might be also affected by the CYP2C19 polymorphism, but CYP2C19 genotypes did not show obvious impact on other levofloxacin-based rescue therapies. Choice of different PPIs and/or increasing doses of PPIs should be individualized based on the pharmacogenetics background of each patient and pharmacological profile of each drug. Other possible factors influencing gastric acid secretion (e.g., IL-1β- 511 polymorphism) would be also under consideration.展开更多

This report shows that the efficacy of 10 mg dexrabeprazole daily is equivalent to that of 20 mg dexrabeprazole daily against GERD. This implies that a dose of 10 mg dexra- beprazole is sufficient to block the maximum amount of proton pumps without any need to double the dose as suggested with rabeprazole.

文摘AIM:To compare the effects of rabeprazole and lafutidine on post-endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD) gastric ulcers.METHODS:Patients with gastric tumors indicated for ESD were prospectively studied.After ESD,all patients were treated with intravenous omeprazole for the first 3 d.Patients were then randomly assigned to oral lafutidine or rabeprazole.Ulcer size,ulcer size reduction rate,and ulcer stage were evaluated 4 wk later.Occurrence of complication was monitored throughout the 4-wk period.RESULTS:Sixty five patients were enrolled in the study,and 60 patients were subjected to the final analysis.In the lafutidine group(30 lesions in 29 patients),initial and 4-wk post-ESD ulcer sizes were 33.3 ± 9.2 and 10.5 ± 4.8 mm,respectively.In the rabeprazole group(34 lesions in 31 patients),the values were 34.7 ± 11.3 and 11.8 ± 6.7 mm,respectively.Ulcer size reduction rates in lafutidine and rabeprazole groups were 32.3% and 33.5%,respectively(P=0.974).Ulcer stage 4 wk post-ESD did not differ significantly between the two groups(P=0.868).Two cases in the rabeprazole group and no cases in the lafutidine group developed ulcer bleeding during the oral dose period,although the difference of bleeding rate between the two groups was not statistically significant(P=0.157).CONCLUSION:Lafutidine and rabeprazole have equivalent therapeutic effects on post-ESD gastric ulcers.
文摘AIM： To determine the diagnostic value of the rabeprazole test in patients seen by general practitioners. METHODS： Eighty-three patients with symptoms suggestive of GERD were enrolled by general practitioners in this multi-centre, randomized and doubleblind study. All patients received either rabeprazole （20 mg bid） or a placebo for one week. The diagnosis of GERD was established on the presence of mucosal breaks at endoscopy and/or an abnormal esophageal 24-h pH test. The test was considered to be positive if patients reported at least a ＂clear improvement＂ of symptoms on a 7-point Likert scale. RESULTS： The sensitivities of the test for rabeprazole and the placebo were 83% and 40%, respectively. The corresponding specificity, positive and negative predictive values were 45% and 67%, 71% and 71%, and 62% and 35%, respectively. A receiver operating characteristics （ROC） analysis confirmed that the best discriminatory cut-off corresponded to description of ＂clear improvement＂ CONCLUSION： The poor specificity of the proton-pump inhibitor （PPI） test does not support such an approach to establish a diagnosis of GERD in a primary care setting.
文摘AIM: To investigate the efficacy of a standard triple therapy (comprising rabeprazole, clarithromycin, and amoxicillin) for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication, noting factors that influence the outcome and documenting any adverse events.
文摘AIM To evaluate the impact of cytochrome P450 2C19(CYP2C19) and interleukin-1β(IL-1β) polymorphisms on the efficacy of Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) eradication by using rabeprazole-based hybrid therapy.METHODS A total of 88 H. pylori-infected patients were recruited to receive 14-d of hybrid therapy from March 2013 to May 2014. Three patients were excluded from analysis because of incomplete compliance. Either a follow-up endoscopy or 13 C-urea test was performed to determine the results of H. pylori eradication therapy. The genotypes of CYP2C19 and IL-1β were analyzed to investigate the impact on treatment effect. RESULTS The total eradication rate of H. pylori was 92.94%(79/85). According to the CYP2C19 genotypes, the rates of H. pylori eradication were 89.19% in extensive metabolizers(EM) and 95.83% in non-EM. The H.pylori eradication rates regarding the IL-1β genotypes were 92.59% in the normal acid secretion group and 93.10% in the low acid secretion group. After multivariable logistic regression analysis, both the genotypes of CYP2C19 and IL-1β had no significant influences on the eradication rates of H. pylori.CONCLUSION The CYP2C19 and IL-1β polymorphisms are not significantly independent factors of H.pylori eradication using rabeprazole-based hybrid therapy.
文摘A high throughput ultra pressure liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry （UPLC-MS/MS） method with good sensitivity and selectivity has been developed and validated for simultaneous quantification of esomeprazole, rabeprazole and levosulpiride in human plasma using lansoprazole as internal standard （IS）. The extraction method based on liquid-liquid extraction technique was used to extract the analytes and IS from of 50 μL of human plasma using methyl tert-butyl ether：ethyl acetate （80：20, v/v）, which offers a high recovery. Chromatographic separation of analytes and IS was achieved on a Hypersil gold C18 column using gradient mobile phase consisting of 2 mM ammonium formate/acetonitrile. The flow rate was set at 0.5 mL/min to elute all the analytes and IS within 1.00 min runtime. Detection of target compounds was performed on a triple quadruple mass spectrometer by multiple reaction monitoring （MRM） mode via positive electrospray ionization （ESI）. Method validation results demonstrated that the developed method has good precision and accuracy over the concentration ranges of 0.1-2000 ng/mL for each analyte. Stability of compounds was established in a battery of stability studies, i.e., bench top, autosampler, dry extract and long-term storage stability as well as freeze-thaw cycles. The validated method has been successfully applied to analyze human plasma samples for application in pharmaco- kinetic studies.
文摘Two selective stability-indicating HPLC methods are described for determination of rabeprazole sodium （RZ）-mosapride citrate （MR） and RZ-itopride hydrochloride （IO） mixturcs in the presence of their ICH-stress formed degradation products. Separations were achieved on X-Bridge CI 8 column using two mobile phases： the first for RZ-MR mixture consisted of acetonitrile： 0.（125 M KH,PO4 solution： TEA （30：69：1 v/v; pH 7.0）; the second for RZ-IO mixture was at ratio of 25：74：1 Iv/v： pH 9.25J. The detection wavelength was 283 nm. The two methods were validated and wdidation acceptance criteria were met in all cases. Peak purity testing using contrast angle theory, relative absorbance and log A versus the wavelengths plots were presented. The % recoveries of the intact drugs were between 99.1% and 102.2% with RSD% values less than 1.6%. Application of the proposed HPLC methods indicated that the methods could be adopted to follow the stability of their formulations.
文摘BACKGROUND Abnormal gastric acid reflux into the esophagus causes symptoms of gastroeso-phageal reflux disease(GERD)such as heartburn and regurgitation and also leads to mucosal damage.This damage can further lead to complications such as Bar-rett’s esophagus and esophagitis.Conventional proton pump inhibitors(PPIs)often fail to reduce nocturnal acid production,leaving patients with unresolved symptoms that worsen at night and decreased satisfaction.Happi ER,a novel dual delayed-release(DDR)formulation of rabeprazole,aims to address these limitations by providing both immediate and prolonged acid suppression.AIM To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of rabeprazole DDR 20 mg capsule in patients with GERD.METHODS This study involved a multicenter,real-world,prospective,observational design over an eight-week period.A total of 1022 GERD patients were treated with rabeprazole DDR 20 mg capsules(Happi ER),as prescribed by their physicians.We included adult patients with confirmed GERD and persistent heartburn symptoms despite prior PPI use.Outcome measures included heartburn severity,frequency of night-time awakenings,use of rescue medications,and overall patient satisfaction.RESULTS Rabeprazole DDR 20 mg capsules(Happi ER)were shown to be highly effective in treating GERD symptoms.At the end of the study,the mean heartburn score improved significantly from 2.46±0.67 at baseline to 0.16±0.39(P<0.0001).The median number of night-time awakenings decreased to 0(P<0.0001).More than 93%of patients rated the therapy as“excellent”or“very good”,reflecting high satisfaction.No significant adverse effects were reported,and the safety profile was comparable to that of traditional PPIs.CONCLUSION By providing both rapid and sustained acid suppression,Happi ER effectively treats GERD,particularly with respect to night-time symptoms.Its safety and efficacy profile make it a viable option for individuals with mild-to-moderate GERD,significantly improving the quality of life and symptom management.
文摘Background:The pharmacokinetic and clinical behaviors of many proton pump inhibitors(PPIs)in peptic ulcer treatment are altered by CYP2C19 genetic polymorphisms.This non-inferiority study evaluated the efficacy and safety of the novel PPI anaprazole compared with rabeprazole.We also explored the influence of Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)infection status and CYP2C19 polymorphism on anaprazole.Methods:In this multicenter,randomized,double-blind,double-dummy,positive-drug parallel-controlled,phase Ⅲ study,Chinese patients with duodenal ulcers were randomized 1:1 to receive rabeprazole 10 mg+anaprazole placebo or rabeprazole placebo+anaprazole 20 mg once daily for 4 weeks.The primary efficacy endpoint was the 4-week ulcer healing rate assessed by blinded independent review.Secondary endpoints were the proportion of patients with improved overall and individual duodenal ulcer symptoms at 4 weeks.Furthermore,exploratory subgroup analysis of the primary endpoint by H.pylori status and CYP2C19 polymorphism was conducted.Adverse events were monitored for safety.Non-inferiority analysis was conducted for the primary endpoint.Results:The study enrolled 448 patients(anaprazole,n=225;rabeprazole,n=223).The 4-week healing rates were 90.9%and 93.7%for anaprazole and rabeprazole,respectively(difference,-2.8%[95%confidence interval,-7.7%,2.2%]),demonstrating non-inferiority of anaprazole to rabeprazole.Overall duodenal ulcer symptoms improved in 90.9%and 92.5%of patients,respectively.Improvement rates of individual symptoms were similar between the groups.Healing rates did not significantly differ by H.pylori status or CYP2C19 genotype for either treatment group.The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events was similar for anaprazole(72/220,32.7%)and rabeprazole(84/219,38.4%).Conclusions:The efficacy of anaprazole is non-inferior to that of rabeprazole in Chinese patients with duodenal ulcers.Registration:ClinicalTrials.gov,NCT04215653.
文摘Background Several randomized controlled trials （RCTs） have compared endoscopic and symptomatic relapses in patients with erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease （GERD）.We have summarized current evidence for rabeprazole 10 or 20 mg once daily for GERD maintenance treatment over 1 or 5 years.Methods MEDLINE,EMBASE,and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched,through August 2012,for eligible RCTs of adults with erosive GERD.The efficacies of rabeprazole 10 and 20 mg/d were compared.Results The search identified 288 citations,and five RCTs containing 1480 patients were considered eligible.Heartburn relapse rates did not differ significantly between patients treated with rabeprazole 10 and 20 mg/d for 1 year （relative risk （RR）=1.29; 95％ confidence interval （CI）：0.97-1.72）,but differed in patients treated for 5 years （RR=1.274; 95％ CI：1.005-1.615）.Endoscopic relapse rates differed significantly between rabeprazole 10 and 20 mg/d for 1 year （RR=1.92;95％ CI：1.21-3.06）,for 5 years （RR=1.667; 95％ CI：1.073-2.589）,and in combined 1-and 5-year maintenance trials （RR=1.785; 95％ CI：1.298-2.456）.Conclusion Rabeprazole 20 mg/d was superior to rabeprazole 10 mg/d in preventing endoscopic relapse of erosive GERD,but that the two dosages were equivalent in symptomatic relief over 1 year.

文摘The known factors that have contributed to the decline of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication rate include antibiotic resistance, poor compliance, high gastric acidity, high bacterial load, and cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) polymorphism. Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) is important in the eradication regimen. The principal enzyme implicated in the metabolism of PPIs is CYP2C19. The effects of PPI depend on metabolic enzyme, cytochrome P450 enzymes, and CYP2C19 with genetic differences in the activity of this enzyme (the homozygous EM, heterozygous EM (HetEM), and poor metabolizer). The frequency of the CYP2C19 polymorphism is highly varied among different ethnic populations. The CYP2C19 genotype is a cardinal factor of H. pylori eradication in patients taking omeprazole- based or lansoprazole-based triple therapies. In contrast, the CYP2C19 polymorphism has no significant effect on the rabeprazole-based or esomeprazole-based triple therapies. The efficacy of levofloxacin-based rescue triple therapy might be also affected by the CYP2C19 polymorphism, but CYP2C19 genotypes did not show obvious impact on other levofloxacin-based rescue therapies. Choice of different PPIs and/or increasing doses of PPIs should be individualized based on the pharmacogenetics background of each patient and pharmacological profile of each drug. Other possible factors influencing gastric acid secretion (e.g., IL-1β- 511 polymorphism) would be also under consideration.
