About this study

Official title: Is Long-Term Proton Pump Inhibitor Use a Cause of Leaky Gut Syndrome: A Cross-Sectional Case-Control Study

Our study aims to investigate the effect of bacterial overgrowth induced by long-term PPI use on zonulin levels.

Read the detailed description

The study included a total of 75 participants, with 45 individuals classified as long-term PPI users and 30 as non-PPI users. The PPI user group was defined as those who had been consistently using PPIs (specifically omeprazole, lansoprazole, pantoprazole, esomeprazole, or rabeprazole) on a daily basis for a minimum of 6 months or at least twice a week for a minimum of 2 years. The control group comprised individuals who had never used PPIs. Venous blood samples were taken from all participants to measure serum zonulin levels.

Being tested
Blood for zonulin level was drawn from the group.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Blood for zonulin level was drawn from the group.Diagnostic test

    Serum zonulin levels were determined by taking 5 cc blood from the antebrachial veins of the patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Zonulin levels in long-term proton pump inhibitor users

    Approximately 5 cc of blood was drawn from the antebrachial veins of the patients to determine serum zonulin levels. Serum örnekleri -80 santigrat derecede 3 ay süreyle saklanmıştır. Serum örneklerindeki Zonulin seviyeleri Shanghai Crystal Day Biotech Co, Ltd, Shanghai, Çin'den ticari BT-LAB Human Zonulin ELISA kitleri (Kat. No. E1117Hu) kullanılarak ölçülmüştür. The test range of the kit was 2-600 ng/ml. The sensitivity of the test was 1.09 ng/ml. A serum zonulin level above 12 ng/ml was considered positive.

    Measured: Blood was drawn and collected during the examination and studied collectively after 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Blood for zonulin level was drawn from the group. in people with Proton Pump Inhibitor Adverse Reaction, run by Dr Abdurrahman Yurtaslan Ankara Oncology Training and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 2 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 Feb 2024. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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.

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?

Zonulin levels in long-term proton pump inhibitor users (time frame: Blood was drawn and collected during the examination and studied collectively after 3 months). 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 NCT06268834, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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.
