Abstract

Abstract This clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of tegoprazan when coadministered with amoxicillin/clarithromycin in healthy subjects. Cohort 1 was an open‐label, randomized multiple‐dose study to evaluate the mutual interaction of tegoprazan and amoxicillin/clarithromycin on the disposition of 3 tested drugs including tegoprazan M1 metabolite and 14‐hydroxyclarithromycin (14‐OH‐clarithromycin). Cohort 2 was an open‐label, randomized, active‐controlled, parallel multiple‐dose study to compare the intragastric pH profile after multiple oral doses of 50 or 100 mg tegoprazan coadministered with amoxicillin/clarithromycin 1000/500 mg for 7 days and pantoprazole‐based triple therapy as the comparator arm. The coadministration of tegoprazan with amoxicillin/clarithromycin increased C ss,max (2.2‐fold) and AUC τ (2.7‐fold) of tegoprazan and M1 (2.1‐ and 2.2‐fold for C ss,max and AUC τ , respectively) compared with administration of tegoprazan alone. The C ss,max and AUC τ of 14‐OH‐clarithromycin increased by 1.7‐ and 1.8‐fold, respectively; the disposition of amoxicillin and clarithromycin were not significantly changed. On days 1 and 7 of treatment, tegoprazan‐based therapies (both 50‐ and 100‐mg therapies) maintained pH above 6 for more than 88% of the 24‐hour period, which was significantly longer compared with pantoprazole‐based therapy. Tegoprazan either alone or in combination with amoxicillin/clarithromycin was well tolerated…

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.
