Background
Gastritis is a common condition affecting nearly half the world’s population. The Standard treatments like proton pump inhibitors have limitations such as adverse effects, frequent relapses, and growing antibiotic resistance in H. pylori. New therapies such as CKD-495 could offer safer and more effective alternatives by addressing these challenges.
Data Sources
We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis following PRISMA guidelines. Detailed Searches were performed in PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and ClinicalTrials.gov up to April 2025. Additional studies were identified through bibliographic mining and citation searches.
Main Findings and Limitations
Two randomized controlled trials (total N=475) that compare CKD-495 with Artemisiae argyi folium (AAF) met inclusion criteria. The meta-analysis showed that CKD-495 significantly improved rates of erosion healing (OR≈2.1; P=0.001) compared to AAF. There was no increase in adverse events. The risk of bias was low across all domains. limitations include the small number of studies, limited sample sizes, and short follow-up periods restrict the generalizability of the findings.
Conclusions
CKD-495 appears to be a promising alternative for treating gastritis. this study demonstrates the better mucosal healing with similar safety compared to AAF. Further large, multicenter trials are needed to confirm these results and evaluate long-term outcomes.
