Abstract
We assessed pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of a potassium-competitive acid blocker and proton pump inhibitor in US subjects. Healthy adults were randomized to 7-day periods of vonoprazan 20 mg once daily followed by lansoprazole 30 mg once daily or the reverse order, separated by ≥ 7 days of washout. Vonoprazan (N = 40) had higher proportions of 24-hour periods with intragastric pH > 4 than lansoprazole (N = 41,38) on day 1 (62.4% vs 22.6%, P < 0.0001) and day 7 (87.8% vs 42.3%, P < 0.0001). Separation in pH started ∼2.5 hours after the first dose. Vonoprazan provided more rapid and potent inhibition of intragastric acidity than lansoprazole in US subjects.
