About this study

Official title: Rapid Protection of the Gastroduodenal Mucosa Against Aspirin-Induced Damage by Rabeprazole

To determine the effectiveness of rabeprazole in preventing or decreasing acute gastroduodenal injury caused by therapeutic doses of aspirin in a placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind parallel group study.

Read the detailed description

Thirty (30) eligible normal subjects will be randomized to one of two study groups: rabeprazole 20 mg OD (n=15) or placebo OD (n=15). Both rabeprazole and identically appearing placebo will be given to Temple from Janssen Pharmaceuticals. The randomization schedule will be prepared by John Gaughan, PhD of Temple University School of Medicine Department of Biostatistics using a random number generator. The coded medications will be dispensed by Temple's Department of Pharmacy. Study subjects and the investigators will be blinded as to the subject receiving either placebo or rabeprazole. The sealed code will not be broken until after the data analysis.

Study subjects will be admitted to the Temple Clinical Research Center for the duration of the study. Appendix I has the study time line. Study subjects will arrive at the CRC at 6:00 A.M. on study day 1. Female subjects will have a urine pregnancy test performed. Blood tests will be obtained for salicylate and alcohol levels. Each study subject will receive a single dose of study drug (rabeprazole or placebo) at 7:00 A.M. on study days 1, 2 and 3-one hour before breakfast on days 1 and 3 and 90 minutes before breakfast on study day 2. All research subjects will receive aspirin (ASA), 325 mg tablets as 2 tablets with 8 oz. water every 4 hours at 8:30 A.M., 12:30 P.M., 4:30 P.M., 8:30 P.M., 12:30 A.M. and 4:30 A.M. daily for study days 1, 2 and 3 (a total of 3900 mg aspirin per day). Esophagogastroduodenoscopy will be performed at 8:00 A.M. on the mornings of days 2 and 4; that is, 24 hours and 72 hours after initiation of aspirin and test drug. During each endoscopy, the maximum number of submucosal hemorrhages and erosions in an endoscopic field from the anterior and posterior walls of the antrum will be counted. In addition, a Lanza score will be assigned for each endoscopic examination (Appendix II). Endoscopic photographs will be obtained for each endoscopic examination. A blood sample will be obtained at 7:00 A.M. on study days 2, 3 and 4 for measurement of hemoglobin and serum salicylate. Meals will be standardized as follows for each day of the study:

Breakfast: 8:00 A.M. (study days 1 and 3); 8:30 A.M. (study day 2) 2 eggs, 2 slices of soft white bread, 4 oz unsweetened orange juice Lunch: 1:00 P.M. (study days 1, 2 and 3) Turkey sandwich, 2 slices of wheat bread, lettuce, tomato, 1 orange, 8 oz apple juice Dinner: 6:00 P.M. (study days 1, 2 and 3) Two plain hamburgers, ketchup, mustard, lettuce and tomato; tossed green salad with thousand island dressing, 1 cup of French fries, 8 oz whole milk Snack: 10:00 P.M. (study days 1, 2 and 3) 4 graham crackers, 4 oz orange juice

If the Lanza score reaches 4 for any subject indicating widespread involvement of the stomach with submucosal hemorrhages, erosions, or ulcerations, that subject will not receive any more aspirin, but continue with study drug of placebo or rabeprazole. If this was detected on day 2 of the study, the subject will continue to receive the study drug with the repeat study endoscopy on day 4. If the Lanza score day 4 (the end of the study) is 4, the subject will be treated with rabeprazole 20 mg po qd for one month. If there was an ulcer, a repeat upper endoscopy will then be performed at 4 weeks to ensure healing.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Rabeprazole in people with Normal Subjects, run by Temple University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jan 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Gastric mucosal abnormalities. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Jan 2008.
