Summary

The VIVA trial is a 12-week, randomized, interventional study comparing vonoprazan monotherapy versus vonoprazan plus itopride combination therapy in adults with functional dyspepsia (FD). FD is a common digestive disorder causing upper stomach discomfort, fullness after meals, and early satiety.

The study aims to determine if adding itopride, a prokinetic that improves stomach emptying, to vonoprazan, a strong acid-suppressing drug, provides better symptom relief than vonoprazan alone. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either treatment, and their symptoms, quality of life, and safety outcomes will be monitored throughout the study.

The trial will help guide the best management strategy for FD by targeting both acid-related and motility-related symptoms.
