Effects of Different Omeprazole Dosing on Gastric pH in Non-variceal Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding

Overview

The aim of the study is to identify the best method of omeprazole (OME) application with respect to intragastric pH, cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) genotype and phenotype.

  • Study Type: Interventional
  • Study Design

Detailed Description

The patients with non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (NVUGIB) are prospectively enrolled. After the achievement of endoscopic hemostasis, the patients are randomized to 40-mg intravenous (i.v.) OME bolus injection every 12 h or 8-mg/h continuous i.v. infusion for 72 h after an 80-mg i.v. OME bolus administration. The intragastric pH is recorded for 72 h. The CYP2C19 variant alleles (*2, *3, *17) are analyzed and the serum concentrations of OME and 5-hydroxyomeprazole (5-OH OME) are determined. The diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection was based on the results of the rapid urease test performed on stomach mucosa biopsies (antrum and angle) and on the results of the stool antigen test.

Interventions

  • Drug: Omeprazole

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Active Comparator: omeprazole infusion (OI) group
    • After successful endoscopic hemostasis, the patients are given an 80-mg i.v. omeprazole bolus. The OI group is then treated with an 8-mg/h continuous i.v. infusion of OME for 72 h.
  • Active Comparator: omeprazole bolus (OB) group
    • After successful endoscopic hemostasis, the patients are given an 80-mg i.v. omeprazole bolus. The OB group receives a 40-mg i.v. bolus of OME every 12 h.

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Intragastric pH in non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding patients treated with omeprazole regarding: Percentage of time at pH >4.0 and pH >6.0
    • Time Frame: 72 hours
    • intragastric pH profiles
  • Intragastric pH in non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding patients treated with omeprazole regarding: pH at specified time after the initial OME 80 mg i.v. bolus
    • Time Frame: 72 hours
    • intragastric pH profiles
  • Intragastric pH in non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding patients treated with omeprazole regarding: Helicobacter pylori infection
    • Time Frame: 72 hours
    • intragastric pH profiles
  • Intragastric pH in non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding patients treated with omeprazole regarding: CYP2C19 variant alleles (*2, *3, *17)
    • Time Frame: 72 hours
    • intragastric pH profiles
