    06Non-erosive


    gastroesophageal reflux disease (NERD) onoprazan is a potassium-competitive acid blocker
    approved in the United States for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection but not for the treatment of reflux disease.


    This is an expanded phase II, double-blind trial to observe the efficacy
    of receiving vonoraxen once daily in patients with nonerosive reflux disease (NERD).
    Participants were randomized to receive placebo or vonoraxen 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg as needed
    .
    Patients cannot take more than one dose of the study drug within 24 hours of the onset of heartburn symptoms and cannot take remedial antacids
    within 3 hours of taking the study drug.

    The investigators showed a significant effect when patients switched to vonoraxen only as needed, with vonoraxen highly effective
    in achieving the primary endpoint of complete and sustained remission.
    About 70% of patients treated with a 40 mg dose of vonorazen had a rapid onset of action
    within 3 hours.

    Efficacy of risankizumab in the treatment of Crohn's
    disease In a study of drugs for inflammatory bowel disease, intravenous risankizumab, an anti-interleukin-23 (Interleukin-13, IL-23), which has been shown to be more effective than placebo
    .
    The study provided 52 weeks of follow-up data, with outcomes focused on clinical and endoscopic improvement
    .
    Results showed that
    endoscopic response/clinical response rates were 23% and 36%,
    respectively, after treatment with 180 mg and 360 mg doses (first by infusion and then subcutaneously).

    To analyze the effects of vedelizumab and ustekinumab in pregnancy


    One study disclosed new data
    from the Pregnancy Inflammatory Disease And Neonatal Outcomes (PIANO) registry study.


    The results showed no increase in pregnancy or infant-related complications between vedolizumab and ustekinumab in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease compared with anti–tumor necrosis factor α alpha (TNF-α) drugs, thiopurines, or a combination of these drugs
    .
    Interestingly, ustekinumab was also associated with
    lower rates of preterm birth and caesarean section.
    This suggests that it appears safe
    to continue using these drugs during pregnancy.

    Be vigilant about rituximab-related bowel diseases A study from University of Chicago scholars showed that rituximab (Rituximab) treatment may cause gastrointestinal side effects
    .


    The researchers conducted a retrospective study over a 13-year period and found 10 patients with
    bowel disease.
    Most of these patients are patients with lymphoma (the most common indication for rituximab).

    The pathologic diagnosis in 70% of patients is consistent with
    common variable immunodeficiency bowel disease.
    All patients were treated with intravenous immunoglobulin, however, only two patients improved their symptoms, and the others received prednisone, budesonide, infliximab, and vedelizumab, none of which achieved clinical improvement
    .
    Ultimately, 60% of patients require long-term parenteral nutrition therapy
    .

    The first of two new treatments for C.
    difficile infection is an open-label study of RBX2660, an experimental microbiotic-based biological therapy
    administered by enema.
    Treatment success is defined as no recurrence within 8 weeks of treatment, and approximately 75% of patients are treated successfully
    .
    After 6 months of follow-up in responding patients, 84% remained free of Clostridium difficile recurrence
    .

    Abstract 56.



    The second is the ECOSPOR IV study, a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that looked at the efficacy
    of SER-109, an oral therapy made from acute spores, in the treatment of Clostridium difficile infection.
    4 capsules 3 times daily for 3 days
    .
    Patients receive a bottle of magnesium citrate induction therapy
    .
    The treatment showed similar types of effectiveness, with 79% of patients without Clostridium difficile recurrence
    at 24 weeks.

    Efficacy of bile acid sequestrants in the treatment of microscopic colitis


    One study included 282 patients with microscopic colitis (MC) who were treated
    with bile acid sequestrants.
    Prior to this, almost all patients received other medications, including loperamide, budesonide, bismuth subsalicylate, or mesalamine
    .
    The most commonly used bile acid chelator in research was cholestyramine (65%)
    .

    The results showed significant improvement in most patients, with nearly 50% having a complete response, 16% having a partial response, and 25% having no response
    .
    One third of patients in complete or partial response are still on concomitant medications, but most patients have improved
    .
