Rapid health technology assessment of efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of vonoprazan in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease
To evaluate the efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of vonoprazan (VPZ) in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by rapid health technology assessment, and provide evidence for clinical decision-making.
METHODS
2
English and Chinese databases including PubMed, Medline, Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang data as well as the official websites of domestic and international health technology assessment agencies were searched by computer from the database establishment to August 2024. After literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation of included studies were conducted by two researchers, the results were described and analyzed qualitatively.
RESULTS
2
A total of 21 pieces of literature were included, involving 15
systematic reviews/meta-analyses and 6 pharmacoeconomic studies. In terms of efficacy, compared with the control regimen (different doses of VPZ, placebo, other positive controls or combination therapy), VPZ (mainly 20 mg/d VPZ) significantly improved the total response rate, mucosal healing rate at 2nd week, symptom remission rate, and maintenance rate at 12th and 24th week after mucosal healing (
P
<0.05); when the endoscopic Los Angeles classification was C/D, the effective rate of VPZ was significantly higher than that of the control regimen (
P
<0.05). In terms of safety, there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse events between VPZ and the control regimen for GERD treatment (
P
>0.05), but the risk of elevated serum gastrin and abnormal liver function caused by long-term use of VPZ was higher than that of the control regimen (
P
<0.05). In terms of cost-effectiveness, compared with rabeprazole, lansoprazole and esomeprazole, VPZ had a cost-effectiveness/cost-utility advantage.
CONCLUSIONS
2
VPZ is effective, safe and cost-effective in the treatment of GERD.
