About this study

Official title: Rectal and Oral Omeprazole Treatment of Gastroesophageal Reflux in Infants With Esophageal Atresia or Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia; A Pharmacodynamic and Pharmacokinetic Study.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of oral and rectal omeprazole treatment in infants with gastroesophageal reflux due to esophageal atresia or congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

Read the detailed description

Omeprazole is a highly effective drug for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in infants. Infants, aged 0-12 months, require a non-standard dose of omeprazole. Due to this fact extemporaneous formulations of omeprazole are administered to these infants. The oral bioavailability of omeprazole in nonproprietary formulations may be unpredictable and produce variable degrees of drug exposure. The dose range for GERD management in pediatric studies using omeprazole is 0.3 - 3.5 mg/kg/day.

Dosing information, aged-specific pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic data are not available in infants, aged 0-12 months. Two adult studies at healthy volunteers suggest that an omeprazole suppository is an effective dosage form.This study is designed to evaluate and to compare the efficacy, the pharmacodynamics and the pharmacokinetics of oral and rectal omeprazole treatment in infants with gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Being tested

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Therapeutic efficacy

    Primary: percentage of infants for which omeprazole was effective according to predefined criteria for 24 hour intraesophageal pH.

    Measured: 24 hour

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Intragastric pH

    Secondary: outcomes were the percentage of time gastric pH was <3 and <4

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax)

    The maximal concentration of OME, OH-OME and OME-S in plasma (Cmax)

    Measured: 8 hours

  3. Time to reach Cmax (Tmax)

    time to reach Cmax (Tmax)

    Measured: 8 hours

  4. Area under the curve (AUC)

    The AUC from time zero to the last sampling time point (AUC0-t)

    Measured: 8 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Omeprazole rectally 1mg/kg in people with Gastroesophageal Reflux and Esophageal Atresia, run by Rijnstate Hospital at 1 site in Netherlands.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 7 Oct 2019. 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 Netherlands. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Therapeutic efficacy (time frame: 24 hour). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00226044, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 7 Oct 2019.
