BACKGROUND AND AIM: Empirical proton pump inhibitor (PPI) treatment is recommended as a diagnostic indicator for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and as a therapy for symptomatic control, with responses generally seen within 4 weeks. However, there are no real-world data assessing the effectiveness of short-term empirical treatment with PPIs in patients with GERD in China.
METHODS: The ENLIGHT study was a multicenter, prospective, observational study conducted in China. The primary outcome was the overall response rate after 4 weeks' empirical treatment with PPIs. Adult patients aged between 18 and 65 years of age, with a gastroesophageal reflux disease questionnaire score of ≥ 8, prescribed empirical PPI treatment by their physicians and with no planned endoscopy were eligible to participate. Statistical analyses were primarily descriptive.
RESULTS: Overall, 987 patients were eligible to participate and were included in the full analysis set (FAS); 707 patients were included in the per protocol set. In the FAS, esomeprazole was received by 57.1% of patients and was the most commonly used PPI. After 4-week treatment, 71.1% (95% confidence interval [CI], 67.9% to 74.2%) of patients were considered responders to PPI. The response rate at the end of 2-week PPI treatment reached 57.0% (95% CI, 52.5% to 61.7%). The median time to response was 13 days (95% CI, 12 to 15). Response rates at 2 and 4 weeks of the per protocol set were similar to those of the FAS.
CONCLUSIONS: Short-term empirical PPI treatment can provide an effective relief of GERD symptoms in most Chinese patients in real-world practice.
