Comparison of Keverprazan-based versus esomeprazole-based dual therapy for initial treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection: a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial.

BACKGROUND: Keverprazan offers a new perspective for Helicobacter pylori eradication. This study compared 14-day keverprazan-amoxicillin therapy with esomeprazole-amoxicillin therapy to explore a superior treatment strategy. METHODS: This was a prospective, open-label, multicenter, randomized controlled trial in adult patients with treatment-naive H. pylori infection. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either 14-day of KA therapy (Keverprazan 20 mg b.i.d plus amoxicillin 1 g t.i.d) or 14-day of EA therapy (Esomeprazole 40 mg b.i.d plus amoxicillin 1 g t.i.d). The primary outcome was the H. pylori eradication rate. Secondary outcomes were the incidence of adverse events and patient adherence. RESULTS: A total of 264 patients were enrolled in the study. In the intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis, the eradication rates for the 14-day KA group and the 14-day EA group were 87.9% and 80.3%, respectively (p = 0.092); in the modified intention-to-treat (mITT) analysis, the eradication rates were 92.1% and 86.2%, respectively (p = 0.135); and in the per-protocol (PP) analysis, the eradication rates were 93.5% and 88.3%, respectively (p = 0.155). Non-inferiority was confirmed between the two groups (all p < 0.001). Adverse events and patient adherence were similar between the two groups. CONCLUSION: For treatment-naive H. pylori infection, the 14-day KA therapy is non-inferior to EA therapy. Given its good tolerability, pharmacogenomic independence, and potent acid suppression, KA is a rational first-line alternative to EA in the Chinese population.

Safety of a quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MenACYW-TT) administered concomitantly with routine pediatric vaccines in healthy infants and toddlers in USA and Puerto Rico: Results from a Phase III, randomized, active-controlled study.

MenACYW-TT, a quadrivalent meningococcal tetanus toxoid-conjugate vaccine, is approved for prevention of invasive meningococcal disease in infants ≥ 6 weeks of age in the USA. This Phase III study (NCT03673462; September 17, 2018 - March 16, 2023) evaluated the safety of MenACYW-TT compared with a licensed quadrivalent meningococcal oligosaccharide diphtheria CRM197-conjugate vaccine (MenACWY-CRM) when administered concomitantly with routine pediatric vaccines in healthy infants and toddlers in a four-dose series (3+1 schedule). Participants were randomized 3:1 to receive MenACYW-TT (Group 1; n = 2080) or MenACWY-CRM (Group 2; n = 697) at 2, 4, 6, and 12 months of age, with concomitant administration of routine pediatric vaccines (DTaP5-IPV/Hib, PCV13, rotavirus, hepatitis B, MMR, and varicella vaccines). Safety assessments included immediate unsolicited adverse events within 30 minutes post-vaccination, solicited injection site and systemic reactions within 7d, unsolicited AEs within 30d, serious adverse events (SAEs) including adverse events of special interest (AESIs), and medically attended adverse events (MAAEs) throughout the study. MenACYW-TT and MenACWY-CRM were overall well tolerated, and safety profiles were comparable. Solicited injection site reactions occurred in 84.9% and 84.6% of participants in Groups 1 and 2, respectively; solicited systemic reactions in 87.1% and 88.2%, respectively. During the entire study, 5.2% in Group 1 and 3.0% in Group 2 experienced at least one SAE; 0.9% and 0.1%, respectively, reported at least one AESI. Three deaths occurred in Group 1. All SAEs, AESIs, and deaths were unrelated to study vaccines. This study supports the safety profile of MenACYW-TT in infants and toddlers aged ≥ 6 weeks.Study registration: Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT03673462; EudraCT: 2019-004459-35.

Randomized phase-II trial of surufatinib plus FOLFOX/FOLFIRI versus FOLFOXIRI as second-line therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer.

BACKGROUND: Second-line treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) typically involves oxaliplatin- or irinotecan-based doublet chemotherapy with or without anti-angiogenic antibodies. Triplet regimens such as FOLFOXIRI have demonstrated synergy and improved efficacy as first-line therapy. Surufatinib, an oral multi-kinase inhibitor targeting VEGFR1-3, FGFR1, and CSF-1R, may enhance chemotherapy efficacy. We evaluated surufatinib combined with doublet (FOLFOX/FOLFIRI) versus triplet (FOLFOXIRI) chemotherapy as second-line treatment for mCRC. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This multicentre, open-label, randomized phase-II trial used Simon's minimax two-stage design. Eligible patients had mCRC progressing on or within 6 months after first-line doublet chemotherapy. Patients were randomized 1:1 to surufatinib 250 mg once daily plus either mFOLFOX6/FOLFIRI (doublet cohort, selected based on prior regimen) or FOLFOXIRI (triplet cohort). The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). RESULTS: From September 2021 to November 2023, 57 patients were randomized (28 per cohort after one withdrawal). In the doublet cohort, ORR was 35.7% (95% CI: 18.6-55.9), median progression-free survival (PFS) was 5.4 months (95% CI: 3.8-7.0), and median overall survival (OS) was 19.0 months (95% CI: 9.2-28.8). In the triplet cohort, ORR was 39.3% (95% CI: 21.5-59.4), median PFS was 5.8 months (95% CI: 3.3-8.2), and median OS was 10.9 months (95% CI: 6.0-15.8). Grade ≥3 treatment-emergent adverse events occurred more frequently in the triplet (71.4%) versus doublet (57.1%) cohort, with higher rates of treatment delays (89.3% versus 72.0%) and discontinuations (25.0% versus 14.3%). CONCLUSIONS: Surufatinib plus doublet chemotherapy showed encouraging antitumor activity and acceptable tolerability in second-line mCRC, warranting further evaluation in a larger randomized trial. In contrast, surufatinib plus triplet chemotherapy was associated with increased toxicity, more frequent treatment delays or discontinuations, and shorter overall survival; this combination is not recommended for further investigation in this setting.ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04734249Date of registration: January 31, 2021.
