- Vonoprazan in the management of gastric/peptic ulcers: a systematic review of safety data(2022) MORAES-FILHO, Joaquim Prado P.; DOMINGUES, Gerson; GUEDES, Juliana Leite Soares; ZATERKA, SchliomaIntroduction: Although potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs) prompted safety concerns when first developed, they ultimately proved to have a favourable safety profile.Aim: To assess the safety of vonoprazan in the management of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, or gastroduodenal mucosal lesions induced by chronic use of aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).Material and methods: From March to June 2021, a literature search was conducted using Medline via PubMed, Cochrane library, Lilacs, SciELO, and Centre for Reviews and Dissemination (CRD) electronic databases. After applying the eligibility criteria, 10 studies were included in this review. Of these 10 articles, vonoprazan was used as initial therapy in 6 and as maintenance therapy in 4. Adverse event rates were similar for vonoprazan and proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that vonoprazan is a safe option for the management of erosive oesophagitis, gastric/ peptic ulcers, or peptic ulcers induced by chronic use of aspirin or NSAIDs.
- Potassium-competitive acid blockers, a new therapeutic class, and their role in acid-related diseases: a narrative review(2023) DOMINGUES, Gerson; CHINZON, Decio; MORAES-FILHO, Joaquim Prado P.; SENRA, Juliana Tosta; PERROTTI, Marcos; ZATERKA, SchliomaIntroduction: A new therapeutic class, potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs), has emerged in Brazil to promote a superior antisecretory effect addressing the unmet needs related to acid-related disease management. Vonoprazan fumarate showed a good safety profile and was approved by the Brazilian regulatory agency - ANVISA.Aim: This narrative review was conducted to review the general concepts regarding P-CABs, focussing on vonoprazan fu-marate.Material and methods: A literature search was conducted through April-May 2021 using official databases with a combi-nation of MeSH controlled vocabulary and text words. The authors selected articles that described pivotal and novel insights about P-CABs and vonoprazan fumarate.Results: Vonoprazan is a drug of the P-CABs class newly approved for the management of acid-related diseases in Brazil. P-CABs achieve rapid, potent, and prolonged acid suppression (including night-time) and promise to address some unmet clinical needs in GERD. Furthermore, considering the difficulties encountered in attaining effective symptomatic control - particularly at night - using currently available PPIs, this new drug class is promising.Conclusions: This review brings important information about vonoprazan, a new therapeutic option in Brazil, which may be considered as a valuable tool for managing acid-related diseases.
- 3rd BRAZILIAN CONSENSUS ON Helicobacter pylori(2013) COELHO, Luiz Gonzaga; MAGUINILK, Ismael; ZATERKA, Schlioma; PARENTE, Jose Miguel; PASSOS, Maria do Carmo Friche; MORAES-FILHO, Joaquim Prado P.Significant progress has been obtained since the Second Brazilian Consensus Conference on Helicobacter pylori Infection held in 2004, in São Paulo, SP, Brazil, and justify a third meeting to establish updated guidelines on the current management of H. pylori infection. The Third Brazilian Consensus Conference on H pylori Infection was organized by the Brazilian Nucleus for the Study of Helicobacter, a Department of the Brazilian Federation of Gastroenterology and took place on April 12-15, 2011, in Bento Gonçalves, RS, Brazil. Thirty-one delegates coming from the five Brazilian regions and one international guest, including gastroenterologists, pathologists, epidemiologists, and pediatricians undertook the meeting. The participants were allocated in one of the five main topics of the meeting: H pylori, functional dyspepsia and diagnosis; H pylori and gastric cancer; H pylori and other associated disorders; H pylori treatment and retreatment; and, epidemiology of H pylori infection in Brazil. The results of each subgroup were submitted to a final consensus voting to all participants. Relevant data were presented, and the quality of evidence, strength of recommendation, and level of consensus were graded. Seventy per cent and more votes were considered as acceptance for the final statement. This article presents the main recommendations and conclusions to guide Brazilian doctors involved in the management of H pylori infection.
- Vonoprazan in the management of erosive oesophagitis and peptic ulcer-induced medication: a systematic review(2022) CHINZON, Decio; MORAES-FILHO, Joaquim Prado P.; DOMINGUES, Gerson; GUEDES, Juliana Leite Soares; SANTOS, Claudia Yang; ZATERKA, SchliomaIntroduction: Vonoprazan has been found to promote a better antisecretory effect addressing acid-related diseases' unmet needs. Aim: To assess if vonoprazan effectively treats patients diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease esophagitis or with peptic ulcers induced by chronic use of aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Material and methods: A literature search was conducted (April/2021) using Medline via PubMed, Cochrane library, Lilacs, Scielo, and Centre for Reviews and Dissemination electronic databases. Results: We retrieved 55 titles. Of these, 13 met the eligibility criteria and were included in this review. Of these 13 articles, 4 were prospective cohort studies, 1 was a follow-up analysis of a preceding prospective study, 1 was a retrospective cohort study, and 6 were randomized clinical trials. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that vonoprazan was effective and non-inferior to proton pump inhibitors in healing and maintaining healed reflux oesophagitis, leading to faster symptom relief. Vonoprazan may also be considered for preventing aspirin-or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug-related peptic ulcer recurrence.
- IMPACT OF HEARTBURN AND REGURGITATION ON INDIVIDUALS’ WELL-BEING IN THE GENERAL POPULATION: A BRAZILIAN NATIONAL SURVEY(2021) MORAES-FILHO, Joaquim Prado P; DOMINGUES, Gerson; CHINZON, Decio; ROVEDA, Fabiana; LOBÃO NETO, Abner Augusto; ZATERKA, SchliomaABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Heartburn and acid regurgitation are typical symptoms usually associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). GERD is one of the gastrointestinal diagnosis with higher prevalence worldwide, significantly impairing patients’ quality of life. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to analyze the impact of GERD-related symptoms in the Brazilian urban population. METHODS: National telephone survey with community-dwelling Brazilian individuals. Self-reported prevalence and frequency of symptoms (heartburn / regurgitation) were assessed. Individuals rated the impact of symptoms in their general well-being using a numeric scale from 1 to 10 (1 = no impact; 10 = very intense, preventing the person to eat and perform daily routine activities). Descriptive and bivariate statistical analyses were performed. RESULTS: The final sample was comprised of 1,773 subjects, 935 (52.7%) females, an average of 40 years old. The prevalence of heartburn and regurgitation in the past 6 months was 26.2% (n=466) and 11.0% (n=196), respectively. Women presented higher prevalence (heartburn n=266, 28.5% and regurgitation n=119, 12.7%) than men (n=200, 23.1% and n=78, 8.9%, respectively) (P<0.05). Heartburn in the past week was reported by 175 individuals (9.8%), while regurgitation episodes by 67 (3.8%). Absence of impact of the symptom in the overall well-being was observed for 82 subjects (17.6%) with heartburn and 18 individuals (9.2%) with regurgitation. Very intense impact was reported by 46 subjects (9.8%) with heartburn and 41 (20.9%) with regurgitation. Women’s well-being was more affected than men’s (mean score 5.45 vs 4.71, P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Heartburn and regurgitation were frequent symptoms, women with higher prevalence. These symptoms led to a substantial impact on individuals’ well-being, women being more affected.
- BRAZILIAN PHYSICIANS’ PRACTICES ON THE MANAGEMENT OF SYMPTOMS SUGGESTING GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE: A MULTIDISCIPLINARY SURVEY(2020) CHINZON, Decio; MORAES-FILHO, Joaquim Prado P; DOMINGUES, Gerson; ROVEDA, Fabiana; LOBÃO NETO, Abner Augusto; ZATERKA, SchliomaABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Clinical guidelines are available to steer decisions regarding diagnosis, management and treatment of gastrointestinal disorders. Despite this, variations in physician’s practices regarding gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms are well described in the literature. OBJECTIVE: To describe practices of physicians from different specialties on the management of patients with typical symptoms of GERD (heartburn and regurgitation) in a Brazilian sample. METHODS: National online survey enrolling a sample of general practitioners, gastroenterologists, cardiologists and otolaryngologists. The survey was conducted from August 6th to September 12th, 2018. Subjects answered a structured questionnaire addressing variables regarding physicians’ profile (age, sex, specialty, practice setting, years in practice, type of medical expense reimbursement), their patients characteristics and prescribing behaviors. RESULTS: The final weighted sample was comprised of 400 physicians, 64% male, with an average of 15 years of experience. Physicians’ estimates of gastroesophageal symptoms prevalence among their pool of patients was 37.6% for the total sample, reaching 70.3% among gastroenterologists. The medical specialty with lower average percentage of patients presenting gastroesophageal symptoms was otolaryngology (24.5%). Physicians reported that they request ancillary tests for 64.5% of patients with GERD typical symptoms. The most common diagnostic test was endoscopy (69.4%), followed by video nasolaryngoscopy (16.6%). The percentage of patient to whom endoscopy is performed was significantly higher among gastroenterologists and general practitioners as compared to otolaryngologists and cardiologists, while video nasolaryngoscopy is markedly more frequent among otolaryngologists. In terms of therapeutic options, the most frequently reported strategy was lifestyle modifications followed by proton pump inhibitors. CONCLUSION: Overall patients’ profile and patterns of GERD diagnosis and management seem different between gastroenterologists, general practitioners, otolaryngologists, and cardiologists. Clinical guidelines should address this variability and include other medical specialties besides gastroenterologists in their scope.
