About this study

Official title: Pharmacokinetics of Immediate-Release vs. Delayed-Release Omeprazole in Patients With Heartburn Associated With Gastroparesis

The purpose of this study is to compare the blood drug levels of two prescribed medications, immediate-release omeprazole 40 mg powder and delayed-release omeprazole 40 mg capsule to determine which drug is better absorbed in patients with a slow stomach emptying (gastroparesis). Delayed-release omeprazole has a protective coating to prevent the drug omeprazole from being neutralized by stomach acid. Immediate-release omeprazole has sodium bicarbonate (antacid) which neutralizes the stomach acid, eliminating the need for a protective coating. Immediate-release omeprazole suspension may have a more rapid pharmacokinetic profile and greater overall drug absorption in gastroparesis.

Read the detailed description

Hypothesis: Immediate-release omeprazole suspension may have a more rapid pharmacokinetic profile and greater overall drug absorption in gastroparesis. This will result in shorter time to maximal drug concentration, greater maximal concentration, and greater total area under the curve of the concentration vs. time plot.

Primary Objective: To compare the pharmacokinetics of omeprazole between immediate-release suspension and delayed-release capsules in patients with heartburn associated with gastroparesis.

Study design: randomized, open-labeled, crossover treatment for 7 days with 10-14 days washout. Pharmacokinetic studies will be performed after 7 days on study drug.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to Maximal Omeprazole Concentration (Tmax)

    Time to max concentration for Immediate release vs. Delayed release omeprazole

    Measured: 10, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240 and 300 min after the study drug was ingested on day 7 of treatment

  2. Maximal Concentration of Omerazole

    Maximal concentration of immediate-release vs. delayed-release omeprazole

    Measured: 10, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240 and 300 min after the study drug was ingested on day 7 of treatment

  3. Area Under the Curve for Omeprazole Plasma Concentration

    The area under the curve for omeprazole concentration-time curve for immediate release and delayed release omeprazole.

    Measured: 0 to 5 hrs after the study drug was ingested on treatment day 7

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Immediate-release omeprazole and Delayed-release omeprazole in people with Gastroparesis and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, run by University of Louisville 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 3 inclusion and 13 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 28 Jul 2017. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Jul 2017). 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?

Time to Maximal Omeprazole Concentration (Tmax) (time frame: 10, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240 and 300 min after the study drug was ingested on day 7 of treatment). The study lists 3 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 NCT00492622, 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 28 Jul 2017.
