Safety profile of dexlansoprazole MR, a proton pump inhibitor with a novel dual delayed release formulation: global clinical trial experience. [2009.09.04]
SUMMARY Background Dexlansoprazole MR is a Dual Delayed Release formulation of dexlansoprazole, an enantiomer of lansoprazole. Aim To assess safety of dexlansoprazole MR in phase 3 clinical trials Methods Data from 4270 patients receiving dexlansoprazole MR 30 mg (n=455), 60 mg (n=2311), or 90 mg (n=1864); lansoprazole 30 mg (n=1363); or placebo (n=896) in 6 randomized controlled trials and a 12-month safety study were pooled...

A randomized, single-blind study of lansoprazole for the prevention of exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in older patients. [2009.08]
OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy reduces the frequency of common colds and exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)... CONCLUSION: In this single-blind, nonplacebo-controlled trial, lansoprazole was associated with a significant decrease in COPD exacerbations. More definitive clinical trials are warranted.

Long-term efficacy of lansoprazole in preventing relapse of erosive reflux esophagitis. [2009.08]
In a phase III study of lansoprazole treatment, patients with healed or unhealed erosive esophagitis entered a titrated open-label treatment period and received lansoprazole for <or=6 years to assess long-term maintenance therapy. Doses were adjusted depending on symptom response.Long-term lansoprazole is effective and well tolerated when used to maintain erosive esophagitis remission for <or=6 years.

Lansoprazole 15 mg once daily for 14 days is effective for treatment of frequent heartburn: results of 2 randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind studies. [2009.07]

CONCLUSION: During the 14-day treatment period in a population with frequent heartburn who were likely to select a medication without consulting a prescriber, lansoprazole 15 mg once daily showed rapid and sustained effectiveness throughout a 24-hour period and was well tolerated.

Lansoprazole for long-term maintenance therapy of erosive esophagitis: double-blind comparison with ranitidine. [2009.05]
In a study evaluating the efficacy and safety of lansoprazole to prevent the relapse of erosive esophagitis (EE), 206 of 241 patients (85%) healed after open-label treatment with lansoprazole 30 mg once daily for 8 weeks and received double-blind maintenance treatment with lansoprazole 15 mg once daily or ranitidine 150 mg twice daily for up to 1 year...
