Abstract
Background
The comparative efficacy of various anti-ulcer medications after gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has not been fully evaluated. 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% confidence 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. vonoprazan, 1.17 (0.64–2.12)]. Concerning the ulcer healing rate at 8 weeks after ESD, however, vonoprazan was superior to PPI [RR (95% CI) 1.27 (1.03–1.56)]. Additionally, vonoprazan tended to be superior to the combination therapy of PPI and muco-protective agent [RR (95% CI) 1.20 (0.96–1.51)].
Conclusions
A combination therapy of PPI and muco-protective agent was superior to PPI alone for ulcer healing at 4 weeks after ESD. In the ulcer healing effect at 8 weeks after ESD, vonoprazan was superior to PPI.
