Learn about important takeaways from SOARD in erosive esophagitis:
- •Most physicians and patients were not completely satisfied with current treatment options
- •There is a need for new treatment options to heal erosions quickly, improve erosive esophagitis
symptoms, and provide effective long-term healing - •Both physicians and patients were interested in erosive esophagitis treatment options that are simpler
to take
Most HCPs and patients reported that they were not fully satisfied with current treatment options
Only about half of HCPs believed that
patients’ treatment goals were
achievable with current treatmentsa
Nearly 3 out of 5 of patients believed
better control could be achievedb
aIndicates percentages of physicians with a response of 6 or 7 on a 7-point scale that ranged from (1) completely disagree to (7) completely agree to the statement: “My erosive esophagitis patients’ treatment goals are achievable with current treatment options.” bIndicates percentages of patients with a response of “Satisfied, BUT I believe better control could be achieved” or “Not satisfied AND I believe better control could be achieved” to the question: “Which of the following statements best describes how satisfied you are with your current treatment for erosive esophagitis?”
HCPs desired better initial healing and long-term maintenance
Nearly 5 out of every 10 reported
that faster initial healing would
make them believe that treatment
would resolve the problemc
More than half would have preferred
a treatment option with better
long-term maintenanced
cIndicates percentage of physicians with a response of 6 or 7 on a 7-point scale that ranged from (1) completely or strongly disagree to (7) completely or strongly agree to the statement “Faster healing makes me believe that treatment will resolve the problem.” dIndicates percentage of physicians with a response of 6 or 7 on a 7-point scale that ranged from (1) completely disagree to (7) completely agree to the statement: “I would prefer a treatment with better long-term maintenance rates than current options offer.”
Patients also desired better initial healing and
long-lasting results
7 out of 10 patients reported that
better initial healing would make
them feel hopeful that treatment
would resolve the probleme
Most patients wanted long-lasting
treatment optionsf
eIndicates percentage of patients with a response of 6 or 7 on a 7-point scale that ranged from (1) strongly disagree to (7) strongly agree to the statement “Better initial healing of my esophagus makes me hopeful that the treatment will resolve the problem.” fIndicates percentage of patients with a response of 6 or 7 on a 7-point scale that ranged from (1) strongly disagree to (7) strongly agree to the statement: “I want whatever works for the longest.”

SOARD erosive esophagitis real-world evidence revealed that treatment challenges remain despite current therapeutic approaches
Patients and HCPs desired fast, effective, and long-lasting therapy
Almost 60% of patients
and HCPs saw fast
healing as importantg
What treatment challenges did patients and HCPs observe?
Despite treatment,
almost
6 out of 10
patients continued
to
experience heartburn
of patients reported
that
they would adhere
to
proper dosing if it
worked
more quicklyh
1 in 3 HCPs believed
patients

of HCPs reported they
would prefer a product
that did not require
food-dependent dosingi
gIndicates percentage of responders with a response of 6 or 7 on a 7-point scale that ranged from (1) completely or strongly disagree to (7) completely or strongly agree to the statement “Fast healing is important to me” for patients and “Faster healing is important to me” for physicians.
