위궤양에 대한 레바프라잔 정제의 제3상 임상시험

초록

Background/Aims: This randomized, double-blind, phase III, multicenter trial was carried out to compare the efficacy and safety of revaprazan, a novel acid pump antagonist, with that of omeprazole in patients with more than one of gastric ulcers. Methods: Two hundred and ninety two subjects were randomized to 4∼8 weeks of treatment with either revaprazan 200 mg or omeprazole 20 mg. The primary efficacy parameter was the cumulative healing rate determined by endoscopy after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment, and the secondary efficacy parameter was an improvement rate of pain. Results: The intention-to-treat analysis revealed revaprazan and omeprazole to have similar cumulative healing rates (93.0% and 89.6%, respectively; p=0.3038). The per-protocol analysis revealed revaprazan and omeprazole to also have similar cumulative healing rates (99.1% and 100%, respectively; p= 0.3229). In both analyses, there were no significant differences in an improvement rate of pain between the two groups. Both drugs were well tolerated. Conclusions: Revaprazan has similar efficacy to omeprazole in the treatment of patients with gastric ulcer with a once a day application of revaprazan 200 mg or omeprazole 20 mg over a 4 to 8-week period. In terms of safety, revaprazan was well tolerated.
