Exclusion Criteria

  • Clinically significant peptic ulcer or gastrointestinal bleeding within 1 year prior to enrollment
  • Moderate to severe hepatic impairment (e.g., diagnosis of cirrhosis or confirmed esophageal/gastric varices)
  • Severe thrombocytopenia (platelet count <50,000/µL)
  • End-stage renal disease requiring dialysis, or unstable renal function precluding safe anticoagulant dose adjustment (eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73m²)
  • Known hypersensitivity to potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs) or to the investigational product
  • History of major gastrointestinal surgery resulting in malabsorption, bowel obstruction, or inability to take oral medication
  • History of osteoporotic fracture or fragility fracture
