About this study

Official title: Comparison of Gut Microbiota Composition and Systemic Inflammatory Markers Prior to and Post-Proton Pump Inhibitor Use in Older Adults

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of a common over-the-counter medication, omeprazole, on the normal gut bacteria and inflammation in the body in healthy older adults.

Read the detailed description

This study aims to enroll 25 healthy subjects from San Antonio, Texas and the surrounding area. Study participants will be asked to provide a blood and stool sample at baseline, complete a 14-day course of omeprazole (Prilosec®), and then complete a follow-up blood and stool sample.

Being tested
Omeprazole

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in fecal microbiota diversity following omeprazole use

    Bacterial taxa will be classified according to operational taxonomic units (OTUs). The change in the diversity of bacteria taxa will be compared between pre- and post-samples using the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity measure.

    Measured: 14 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in interleukin inflammatory markers following omeprazole use

    Interleukin 2, interleukin-6, and interleukin-10 will be measured from the blood at baseline and following omeprazole use and each reported in pg/mL.

    Measured: 14 days

  2. Change in tumor necrosis factor-alpha following omeprazole use

    Tumor necrosis factor-alpha will be measured from the blood at baseline and following omeprazole use and reported in pg/mL.

    Measured: 14 days

  3. Change in insulin-like growth factor-1 due following omeprazole use

    Insulin-like growth factor-1 will be measured from the blood at baseline and following omeprazole use and reported in ng/mL.

    Measured: 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Omeprazole in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio 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 1 inclusion and 2 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 20 Jan 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

Change in fecal microbiota diversity following omeprazole use (time frame: 14 days). 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 20 Jan 2017.
