About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether proton pump inhibitor (PPI) induced hypersecretion leads to acid related symptoms after treatment in healthy volunteers.

Read the detailed description

Treatment with proton pump inhibitors (PPI) has been shown to cause rebound hypersecretion of gastric acid. The clinical significance of this phenomenon is however unclear. This study aims to examine whether or not healthy volunteers, who over a relatively short period of time treated with a PPI, develop dyspeptic symptoms after cessation of therapy. Dyspeptic symptoms will be measured subjectively using a validated questionnaire, which is filled out each day. Gastric acid will be measured indirectly with measurement of acid secretion markers (Gastrin and chromogranin-A).

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate whether healthy volunteers, treated with PPI for four weeks, develop acid-related symptoms after cessation of PPI therapy.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To evaluate whether there is a correlation between markers for acid secretion such as gastrin and chromogranin-A and the development of dyspeptic symptoms.

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?

To evaluate whether healthy volunteers, treated with PPI for four weeks, develop acid-related symptoms after cessation of PPI therapy.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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.
