What is being measured

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

  1. Peak Concentration (Cmax)

    Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters, including peak plasma concentration, were determined following a single oral dose of pantoprazole

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Time to Peak Concentration (Tmax) Profile

    Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters, including time to peak plasma concentration, were determined following a single oral dose of pantoprazole.

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Disposition Half-life

    Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters, including the terminal-phase disposition half-life, were determined following a single oral dose of pantoprazole. Half-life is the time required for half the quantity of absorbed drug to be metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes.

    Measured: 1 day

  4. Area Under the Concentration-time Curve (AUC)

    Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters, including AUC, were determined following a single oral dose of pantoprazole. AUC is a measure of the plasma concentration of the drug over time. It is used to characterize drug absorption.

    Measured: 1 day

  5. Apparent Oral Clearance (CL/F)

    Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters, including apparent oral clearance, were determined following a single oral dose of pantoprazole. Clearance of a drug is a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. Clearance obtained after oral dose (apparent oral clearance) is influenced by the fraction of the dose absorbed.

    Measured: 1 day

  6. Pantoprazole Plasma Concentration After Multiple-Dose Oral Administration

    Plasma concentration of pantoprazole after multiple doses was measured to see if there was any accumulation of the drug.

    Measured: 7 days

  7. Intragastric pH

    Intragastric pH is a method for evaluating gastric acidity scaled 0-9. A lower pH means more acidity. A longer duration of esophageal mucosa exposure to a gastric refluxate with a pH <4.0 correlates with more severe mucosal injury in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

    Measured: 7 days

  8. Median Intragastric pH

    Intragastric pH is a method for evaluating gastric acidity scaled 0-9. A lower pH means more acidity. A longer duration of esophageal mucosa exposure to a gastric refluxate with a pH <4.0 correlates with more severe mucosal injury in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

    Measured: 7 days

  9. Percentage of Time Intragastric pH Was >4

    Intragastric pH is a method for evaluating gastric acidity. A lower pH means more acidity. A longer duration of esophageal mucosa exposure to a gastric refluxate with a pH <4.0 correlates with more severe mucosal injury in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

    Measured: 7 days

  10. Mean Intraesophageal pH

    Intraesophagel pH is a method for evaluating acidity of gastric refluxate scaled 0-9. A lower pH means more acidity. A longer duration of esophageal mucosa exposure to a gastric refluxate with a pH <4.0 correlates with more severe mucosal injury in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

    Measured: 7 days

  11. Median Intraesophageal pH

    Intraesophagel pH is a method for evaluating acidity of gastric refluxate scaled 0-9. A lower pH means more acidity. A longer duration of esophageal mucosa exposure to a gastric refluxate with a pH <4.0 correlates with more severe mucosal injury in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

    Measured: 7 days

  12. Percentage of Time That Intraesophageal pH Was <4

    Intraesophagel pH is a method for evaluating acidity of gastric refluxate. A lower pH means more acidity. A longer duration of esophageal mucosa exposure to a gastric refluxate with a pH <4.0 correlates with more severe mucosal injury in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

    Measured: 7 days

  13. Normalized Area of Gastric Hydrogen Ion Activity Over Time

    Normalized Area of Gastric Hydrogen Ion Activity Over Time is a measure of the area under the curve of the gastric hydrogen ion activity over time, which is normalized for a 24-hour period.

    Measured: 7 days

  14. Normalized Area of Esophageal Hydrogen Ion Activity Over Time

    Normalized Area of Esophageal Hydrogen Ion Activity Over Time is a measure of the area under the curve of the esophageal hydrogen ion activity over time, which is normalized for a 24-hour period.

    Measured: 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing pantoprazole sodium enteric-coated spheroid suspension in people with Gastroesophageal Reflux, run by Wyeth is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer at 31 sites in 8 countries.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 7 May 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 31 sites in United States, Poland, Belgium, Italy, Germany and 3 more countries. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 May 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Peak Concentration (Cmax) (time frame: 1 day). The study lists 14 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00259012, 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 May 2010.
