About this study

Official title: Optimal Dose and Population Pharmacokinetics of Omeprazole in Neonates With Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

"The principal aim of this trial is to determine the minimum effective dose of omeprazole in neonates with GERD objectively diagnosed by a 24-h intra-oesophageal pH monitoring (pHmetry), to obtain a short-term efficacy in the pHmetry of control performed 72 hrs ± 24 after initiation of omeprazole.

The secondary objectives of the study were: (1) to assess the efficacy of omeprazole upon other pHmetry parameters, (2) to characterize the population pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenetics of omeprazole, (3) to evaluate the effect of omeprazole upon oro-pharyngeal pH monitoring and (4) to assess the short-term safety of use of omeprazole in neonates."

Read the detailed description

"Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor increasingly prescribed in the neonatal population for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) complicated or not by the presence of esophagitis. Although extensively evaluated in adults, optimal dosing schemas, efficacy and safety have not been determined in the neonatal population where its prescription remains off-label. The study is a double blind trial that was designed using a Bayesian sequential analysis approach. The principle of this approach is to identify the adequate drug dosage to obtain a level of efficacy as close as possible to a predetermined target level of efficacy in the population. In this study, five different dosages of omeprazole are tested (1, 1,5, 2, 2,5, 3 mg/kg/day) and a target probability of successful treatment of 95% has been chosen. To assess the influence of gestational age on omeprazole's efficacy, analysis was stratified on 3 groups: (1) neonates of less than 32 weeks gestational age (GA), (2) neonates born between 32 and 35 weeks of GA, (3) neonates of more than 36 weeks of GA.

A total maximum number of 90 neonates is expected to be included (30 neonates per group).

Patients' participation in the study ends after completion of the pHmetry of control that is 72 ±24 hours after omeprazole initiation.

Patients in the study will all benefit for the management of their GERD from non-pharmacological therapies such as adequate positioning and use of available thickening agents for formula The only pharmacologic agent authorised during study for treating GERD is omeprazole. All other available GERD treatments will not be prescribed."

What is being measured

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

  1. Presence of a normalised control pHmetry Presence of a normalised control pHmetry Presence of a normalised control pHmetry

    Normalised control pHmetry is defined by a reflux index (duration that the recorded intra-oesophageal pH is less than 4.0, expressed as a percentage of the total duration of pH monitoring) of less than 5%

    Measured: 72±24 hours after initiation of omeprazole treatment

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. mean number of reflux episodes per hour

    mean number of reflux episodes per hour

    Measured: 72±24 hours after initiation of omeprazole treatment

  2. duration of the longest reflux episode

    duration of the longest reflux episode

    Measured: 72±24 hours after initiation of omeprazole treatment

  3. plasma concentrations of omeprazole and its metabolite, hydroxyl-omeprazole

    Plasma concentrations of omeprazole and its metabolite, hydroxyl-omeprazole, After the first administration of omeprazole, blood will be collected either between H0.5 and H4 or between H4 and H12 or both

    Measured: H0.5 and H4 or between H4 and H12 after the first administration of omeprazole

  4. changes in salivary pH monitoring

    changes in salivary pH monitoring Without treatment period: just before and 3 hours after a meal Under treatment period: just before and just after the insertion of the pHmetry catheter

    Measured: just before and 3 hours after a meal Under treatment period

  5. changes in biological parameters

    changes in biological parameters

    Measured: 96±24 hours after initiation of omeprazole treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Omeprazole in people with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 8 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 11 Oct 2012. 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 France. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Presence of a normalised control pHmetry Presence of a normalised control pHmetry Presence of a normalised control pHmetry (time frame: 72±24 hours after initiation of omeprazole treatment). 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 11 Oct 2012.
