Symptom Evaluation After Cessation of a Proton Pump Inhibitor in Healthy Volunteers

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose The purpose of this study is to determine whether proton pump inhibitor (PPI) induced hypersecretion leads to acid related symptoms after treatment in healthy volunteers.

Current Primary Outcome MeasuresTo evaluate whether healthy volunteers, treated with PPI for four weeks, develop acid-related symptoms after cessation of PPI therapy. [Designated as safety issue: No]
Current Secondary Outcome MeasuresTo evaluate whether there is a correlation between markers for acid secretion such as gastrin and chromogranin-A and the development of dyspeptic symptoms.

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether proton pump inhibitor (PPI) induced
hypersecretion leads to acid related symptoms after treatment in healthy volunteers.
Detailed Description
Treatment with proton pump inhibitors (PPI) has been shown to cause rebound hypersecretion
of gastric acid. The clinical significance of this phenomenon is however unclear. This study
aims to examine whether or not healthy volunteers, who over a relatively short period of
time treated with a PPI, develop dyspeptic symptoms after cessation of therapy. Dyspeptic
symptoms will be measured subjectively using a validated questionnaire, which is filled out
each day. Gastric acid will be measured indirectly with measurement of acid secretion
markers (Gastrin and chromogranin-A).
