A Randomized, Open-Label, Comparative 3-Way Treatment Crossover Study of 24-Hour Intragastric pH Profile of Once Daily Oral Administration of Esomeprazole 40mg, Lansoprazole 30mg, and Pantoprazole 40mg at Steady State in NSAID-Using Patients

ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2004

Abstract

This study looks at controlling intragastric pH following administration of esomeprazole 40 mg, lansoprazole 30 mg and pantoprazole 40 mg taken orally, once daily in patients taking either non-selective or cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) selective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Conditions: Heartburn, Upper Abdominal Pain, Nausea, Acid Regurgitation.

Primary outcome: To compare the pharmacodynamic efficacy in controlling intragastric pH (percent time pH > 4.0) following administration of esomeprazole 40 mg, lansoprazole 30 mg and pantoprazole 40 mg taken orally, once daily in pat.

Enrollment: 100 participants.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 100 participants or records.
