PG - 1524-1533 LID - 10.1111/apt.16959 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Keverprazan is a novel potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB) with a strong acid-suppressive capacity that may provide clinical benefit in acid-related diseases. AIMS: This study aimed to explore the non-inferior efficacy and safety of keverprazan to lansoprazole in treating erosive oesophagitis (EO). METHODS: This was a phase III, randomised, double-blind multicentre study. Patients were randomised to receive keverprazan 20 mg once daily or lansoprazole 30 mg once daily for 4-8 weeks. EO healing rates and adverse events (AEs) were compared between the keverprazan group and the lansoprazole group. RESULTS: A total of 238 patients comprised the full analysis set (FAS) while 221 patients comprised the per-protocol set (PPS). For FAS analysis, the EO healing rates at week 8 were 95.8% (114/119) and 89.9% (107/119) for keverprazan and lansoprazole respectively. For PPS analysis, the EO healing rates at week 8 were 99.1% (110/111) and 92.7% (102/110) for keverprazan and lansoprazole respectively. Non-inferiority of keverprazan compared with lansoprazole according to EO healing rates at 8 weeks was demonstrated in both FAS (difference: 5.8% [95% CI: -0.6% to 12.3%]; p = 0.081) and PPS (difference: 6.1% [95% CI: 1.1%-11.2%]; p = 0.018) analysis. Drug-related AEs were reported in 34.5% (41/119) patients of the keverprazan group and 25.2% (30/119) patients of the lansoprazole group with no significant difference (p = 0.156). No severe AE happened in the keverprazan group. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated the non-inferior efficacy of keverprazan to lansoprazole in treating EO. The incidences of drug-related AEs were comparable between keverprazan and lansoprazole. CI - (c) 2022 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
