Approximately half of patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) respond clinically and histologically to proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy. Although recent guidelines suggest that PPI-responders and non-responders were included in EoE, it is important to investigate the predictive factors of PPI- responsiveness. This study aimed to determine the rate of PPI- responders and compare the characteristics of PPI-responders and non-responders. Fifty-nine patients with esophageal eosinophilia received PPI therapy for eight weeks, and its efficacy was assessed. PPI- responsiveness was diagnosed based on the relief in symptoms and reduction of intraepithelial eosinophilic infiltration to <15 per high-power field (hpf) after PPI therapy. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify factors associated with PPI-responders. Of the 59 patients, 41 (69.5%) were diagnosed with PPI-responders. The rate of gastrointestinal (GI) screening in the indications for endoscopy was significantly higher in patients with PPI- responders than in those with non-responders. On multivariate analysis, GI screening and presence of reflux esophagitis was associated with an increased odds ratio (OR) of PPI-responders, but presence of rings with a decreased OR of PPI-responders. Presence of reflux esophagitis and absence of rings on endoscopy especially during GI screening might be significant predictive factors for PPI response in patients with EoE.

Proton pump inhibitor-refractory reflux esophagitis is one of the intractable conditions of systemic sclerosis for which new treatments are required. Vonoprazan is a novel potassium-competitive acid blocker and has been shown to have several advantages over conventional proton pump inhibitors, including a long duration of gastric acid suppression. To investigate the efficacy of vonoprazan for treating proton pump inhibitor-refractory reflux esophagitis in patients with systemic sclerosis, 10 patients with proton pump inhibitor-refractory reflux esophagitis who were switched to vonoprazan were selected from our systemic sclerosis database. Reflux esophagitis was evaluated by endoscopy, and gastroesophageal reflux disease–related symptoms were assessed by the frequency scale for the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease questionnaire before and after switching from proton pump inhibitor to vonoprazan at an average interval of 3.5 [2–5.5] months. After switching patients to vonoprazan, the endoscopic findings of reflux esophagitis were significantly improved ( p = .033), and six patients (60%) achieved mucosal healing. The total frequency scale for the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease score was also significantly decreased ( p = .043), mainly by improving the acid reflux score. Vonoprazan was well tolerated and was continued for 15.5 [11.25–23.75] months in all patients. Vonoprazan is a potential treatment option for treating proton pump inhibitor-refractory reflux esophagitis in systemic sclerosis patients.

A protonpumpagátlók (protonpumpa-inhibitorok, PPI) bevezetése új fejezetet nyitott a gastrooesophagealis refluxbetegség (gastroesophageal reflux disease, GERD) kezelésében. A betegek kisebb, de nem jelentéktelen hányadában azonban a PPI sem hatékony. Ilyen esetekben az első kérdés mindig az, hogy a tünetek valóban GERD-nek tulajdoníthatók-e, vagy egyéb betegség után kell kutatnunk. Ha a GERD a legvalószínűbb lehetőség, akkor a további vizsgálatok és a több támadáspontú kezelés előtt fel kell térképeznünk a beteg együttműködését (compliance). Ha az eredménytelen PPI-kezelés hátterében nem helytelenül kezelt GERD áll, akkor számos egyéb kórkép lehetőségét is fel kell vetnünk. Összefoglaló közleményünkben az elkülönítő diagnosztikai kérdésekről adunk áttekintést.
