About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Controlled, Double-blind, Cross-over Study of the Effect of Oral Rabeprazole 20mg and Intravenous Pantoprazole 40mg on Intragastric pH in Patients

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate in patients that oral rabeprazole produces equivalent acid suppression to intravenous pantoprazole on Day 1 of drug administration.

Read the detailed description

Following screening to determine eligibility (normal medical history, physical examination including vital signs, laboratory findings, negative test for active H. pylori infection, and a negative pregnancy test if applicable) and subsequent enrolment, patients will have a baseline 24-hour intragastric pH recording. Patients will receive either oral rabeprazole 20mg or intravenous pantoprazole 40mg daily for 3 consecutive days. For blinding purposes, patients will also receive either a placebo oral tablet or placebo intravenous solution ("double-dummy" design). A 24-hour intragastric pH recording will be completed on Day 1 and Day 3 of the drug administration period. This will be followed by a 14-day washout period before the second 3-day drug administration period during which the patient will receive the crossover drug regimen, and will again have 24-hour intragastric pH recordings completed on the first and third days of this second drug administration period.Thirty-seven patients with a negative test for active H. pylori infection test will be randomised into the study. The primary hypothesis is that oral rabeprazole produces equivalent acid suppression to intravenous pantoprazole as indicated by the time during which intragastric pH is greater than 4 on Day 1 of drug administration. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to 1 of the 2 treatment groups and will first receive either oral rabeprazole 20mg plus placebo intravenous solution or intravenous pantoprazole 40mg plus a placebo oral tablet daily for 3 consecutive days. After a 14-day washout, patients will receive the crossover drug regimen.

Rabeprazole: supplied as 20mg tablets (and matching placebo tablets). Pantoprazole: supplied as 12-mL vials of lyophilized powder containing pantoprazole 40mg (pantoprazole

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary efficacy variable is the percentage of time intragastric pH >4 for the 24-hour monitoring period on Day 1 (i.e.: first day of dosing for each treatment period).

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Percentage of time intragastric pH is >3, >4, >5, >6 on Day 1, and on Day 3 over time intervals: 0-14h and 14-24h after dosing;Median intragastric pH on Day 1 and Day 3 (entire 24-hour interval, and over time intervals: 0-14h and 14-24h after dosing)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing rabeprazole sodium in people with GERD, run by Janssen-Ortho Inc., Canada.

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 6 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 10 Dec 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

The primary efficacy variable is the percentage of time intragastric pH >4 for the 24-hour monitoring period on Day 1 (i.e.: first day of dosing for each treatment period).. 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 NCT00378287, 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 10 Dec 2012.
