Trial summary

Recently, negative inotropy of pantoprazole has been shown in isolated human myocardium. This study was designed to test the clinical relevance of this finding in healthy volunteers by measuring left ventricular function during infusion of a common intravenous high dose regimen of pantoprazole.

About this study

Official title: Heart Issues of PantoPrazOle (HIPPO)

Recently, negative inotropy of pantoprazole has been shown in isolated human myocardium. This study was designed to test the clinical relevance of this finding in healthy volunteers by measuring left ventricular function during infusion of a common intravenous high dose regimen of pantoprazole.

Read the detailed description

Purpose: Reports on cardiac problems with oral proton pump inhibitors have caused extensive safety reviews by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. We provide additional data on acute cardiac effects of an intravenous application.

Methods: Echocardiography was performed in 18 healthy volunteers after administration of a common high dose regimen of pantoprazole (80 mg IV bolus followed by 8 mg/h for 1h) or placebo. Design: Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial.

Results: EF [%, means+/-S.E.] in the treatment group (placebo group) was 60.7+/-1.1 (61.2+/-1.7) at baseline, and 62.6+/-1.1 (62.1+/-1.9), 64.7+/-1.6 (63.5+/-1.3), 62.6+/-1.6 (61.0+/-1.6) and 63.0+/-1.4 (61.8+/-1.5) at 7.5, 15, 30 and 60 min after bolus application, respectively (p = n.s.). Similarly, no significant changes were found for cardiac output, cardiac index, blood pressure, and heart rate. In contrast, gastric pH that was used as a treatment control was significantly increased 60 min after application of pantoprazole as compared to baseline and to placebo.

Conclusions: Pantoprazole for injection is safe in healthy subjects with respect to cardiac contractile function. However, in view of recent reports of negative inotropy of the drug further studies in heart failure patients are required.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Pantoprazole in people with Healthy, run by Herzzentrum Goettingen at 1 site in Germany.

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 7 inclusion and 10 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 24 Mar 2009. 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 Germany. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Echocardiographic ejection fraction (time frame: 60 min). 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 NCT00600041, 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 24 Mar 2009.
