In the past, the use of nexium (esomeprazole magnesium) has gained attention. This medication was approved for the relief of symptoms of peptic ulcers, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and heartburn in the 1960s and 1970s, and as an adjunctive treatment for heartburn and acid reflux in the early 1980s. As a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), Nexium (esomeprazole) was first approved for use as an emergency treatment for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) in the 1980s [1]. The drug is now available in over-the-counter versions under the nameNexium 24HRand is used to treat heartburn and acid reflux symptoms [2].
Nexium 24HR (esomeprazole magnesium) was originally developed for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), but it was soon found to be ineffective at preventing heartburn, ulcers, and acid reflux symptoms in adults with heartburn and acid reflux [3]. A study in the American Journal of Gastroenterology in 2006 demonstrated that esomeprazole magnesium significantly reduced the risk of gastric ulcer and gastric surgery in patients with GERD. In addition, the drug was found to reduce the risk of gastric cancer in some individuals [4].
In addition to its use as a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), the drug has also been found to prevent gastric ulcers, and reduce the risk of esophageal cancer in patients with GERD [5]. Nexium 24HR is approved for the treatment of GERD at a lower dose of 2.5 mg daily, while other PPIs are approved at 20 mg and 40 mg [2].
Although esomeprazole magnesium is thought to prevent gastric and esophageal ulcers by blocking the enzyme PPI, there are no adequate or well-controlled studies to confirm the efficacy of Nexium 24HR in preventing these common gastrointestinal symptoms. The use of Nexium 24HR is not supported by a randomized controlled trial (RCT) and is generally considered to be an open-label treatment for GERD.
In the U. S., the FDA has approved Nexium 24HR (esomeprazole magnesium) for the treatment of GERD. However, the product has not been specifically approved for use as a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) for treatment of these symptoms. In the United Kingdom, the manufacturer of Nexium 24HR is Apotex (Apotex, New Jersey, United Kingdom) as part of the UK Medical Products Regulatory Authority (MHRA).
A number of studies have been conducted to support the safety and efficacy of Nexium 24HR in patients with GERD. In one of these studies, patients were randomized to receive a single daily dose of 20 mg esomeprazole magnesium (30 mg) or placebo for 24 weeks, and a secondary end point was assessed to assess the incidence of gastric or esophageal events, and the risk of developing gastric or gastric ulcers, and of ulcer-related hospitalizations in patients with GERD.
Two hundred and thirty-two patients were randomized to receive 20 mg esomeprazole magnesium or placebo for the prevention of esophageal ulcer development and of ulcer-related hospitalizations in the prevention of gastrointestinal complications [6]. Of these patients, 68 (17.5%) experienced a secondary endpoint. Esomeprazole magnesium reduced the incidence of gastric or gastric ulcers compared to placebo in patients with an incidence of 1.3% and 1.4% for esomeprazole magnesium and placebo, respectively [6]. Of the total GERD patients, esomeprazole magnesium was associated with a 2.0% (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.0% to 2.1%) increased risk of developing esophageal ulcer events compared to placebo [6].
In another study, a single daily dose of 20 mg esomeprazole magnesium (30 mg) in 40 GERD patients was compared with an additional placebo. The 40 GERD patients received 20 mg esomeprazole magnesium and 40 mg placebo tablets daily.
A total of 177 patients were assessed for the incidence of gastric and esophageal ulcer risk factors in this trial, which included all patients with a history of GERD (n = 90), with a history of peptic ulcers (n = 90), and without a history of gastric or esophageal ulcers (n = 90).
