200 gastric ESD patients were randomized into antibiotic and non-antibiotic groups. PECS incidence was lower in the antibiotic group (42.1% vs 58.1%, p=0.031). However, U-region lesions were more frequent in the non-antibiotic group and linked to higher PECS rates. Multivariate analysis adjusting for location showed no significant difference for antibiotic group (OR 0.59, p=0.117).

The final analysis included 190 patients (97 in the antibiotic group and 93 in the non-antibiotic group). Baseline characteristics, including age, sex, body mass index (BMI), pre-procedural inflammatory markers (CRP, WBC), tumor size, macroscopic type, and presence of ulceration, were well-balanced between the two groups. In contrast, an imbalance was observed in tumor location. The non-antibiotic group had a higher prevalence of lesions in the upper (U) region of the stomach (U/M/L: 35/45/23 vs. 8/63/26 in the antibiotic group).
A total of 237 patients were screened for eligibility (Figure 1). Of these, 37 declined to participate in the study, with 200 patients finally randomized equally into the antibiotic (n=100) and non-antibiotic (n=100) groups. In the antibiotic group, 3 patients were excluded from the FAS because of post-randomization ineligibility, resulting in 97 patients being included. In the non-antibiotic group, seven patients were excluded from the FAS: 5 patients were excluded because of post-randomization ineligibility, 1 because of heart failure during hospitalization, and 1 because of treatment discontinuation because of pyloric stenosis), resulting in 93 patients being included.
One case of mild diarrhea was observed in the antibiotic group, which resolved spontaneously after completion of antibiotic therapy.
No serious adverse events, including drug-related rashes, were observed in either group.
The primary endpoint was PECS incidence, which was evaluated in the full analysis set (FAS). PECS was defined as the presence of localized abdominal pain (either spontaneous pain or tenderness), fever (37.6 C or higher), or an inflammatory response (leukocytosis [10,000 cells/uL or higher] or elevated CRP [0.5 mg/dL or higher]) on the day after gastric ESD. Secondary endpoints included risk factors for PECS and incidence of antibiotic-related AEs such as drug eruption and diarrhea.
There is no plan to share individual participant data (IPD).
Only anonymized, aggregated data will be disclosed through conference presentations and journal publications.
