About this study

The purpose of this retrospective observational study is to obtain information to confirm or contradict the results of prior studies on domperidone and sudden cardiac death. The population studied are the Saskatchewan residents who used domperidone or another type of medication known as a Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) between 1990 and 2005. Information will be collected from various sources including the Saskatchewan Health (SH) database and Cancer Registry.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this population-based, observational study is to evaluate the combined risk of serious ventricular arrhythmia (irregular heart rhythm) and sudden cardiac death in users of domperidone (a medication used to treat certain gastrointestinal disorders) compared with users of proton pump inhibitors (another group of medications used to reduce gastric or stomach acid production. The study will be conducted using patient information from Saskatchewan Health (SH) who had recorded dispensings of domperidone or a PPI from 1990 through 2005. The first objective of the study is to estimate the combined relative risk of the occurrence of a particular type of irregular heart rhythm known as serious ventricular arrhythmia (SVA) and sudden cardiac death SCD (defined as a natural death from an unexpected circulatory arrest) during current use of domperidone or current use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) as compared with nonuse in a diabetic population. The second objective is to estimate the combined relative risk of SVA and SCD during current use of domperidone or current use of PPIs as compared with nonuse in a non-diabetic population.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Arrhythmias, Cardiac, run by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C..

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 19 Jul 2016. 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.

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 occurrence of serious ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death (combined end point) (time frame: Retrospective study). 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.

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 19 Jul 2016.
