Information source: AstraZeneca
Information obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov on June 20, 2008
Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Condition(s) targeted: Endoscopically-Proven GERD; Reflux

Intervention: esomeprazole magnesium (Drug)

Phase: Phase 1

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: AstraZeneca

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Marta Illueca, Study Director, Affiliation: AstraZeneca
Lynne Durborow, Study Chair, Affiliation: AstraZeneca

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of esomeprazole after single oral doses of 5 mg, 10 mg or 20 mg esomeprazole in pediatric patients 1 to 11 years-old inclusive with endoscopically-proven GERD.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Randomized, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics of Single Oral Doses of Esomeprazole Magnesium in Pediatric Patients 1 to 11 Years-Old Inclusive With Endoscopically-Proven Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

Study design: Other, Randomized, Open Label, Parallel Assignment, Pharmacokinetics Study

Primary outcome: Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of esomeprazole after single oral doses of 5 mg, 10 mg and 20 mg esomeprazole in pediatric patients 1 to 11 years old inclusive with endoscopically-proven GERD.

Secondary outcome:

The AUC(0-t), Cmax, tmax, and apparent volume of distribution during terminal phase (Vλz/F) of esomeprazole after single oral doses of 5 mg, 10 mg and 20 mg esomeprazole in pediatric patients 1 to 11 years-old inclusive with endoscopically-proven GERD.

AUC, AUC(0-t), Cmax, tmax, t1/2λz of the 5-hydroxy and sulphone metabolites of esomeprazole after a single oral dose of 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg esomeprazole in pediatric patients 1 to 11 years-old inclusive with endoscopically-proven GERD.

Safety and tolerability after a single oral dose of esomeprazole in pediatric patients 1 to 11 years old inclusive with endoscopically- proven GERD.

Eligibility

Minimum age: 1 Year. Maximum age: 11 Years. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients must be able to take solid or bland food (eg, applesauce).

- Patients must weigh at least 8 kg and at the investigator's discretion be able to

undergo extraction of an adequate volume of blood.

- The patient's weight for height percentile should be less than the 90th percentile

and/or the BMI must be between the 5th and 85th percentile for age.

- Patients must be diagnosed with endoscopically-proven GERD

Exclusion Criteria:

- Use of any other investigational compound or participation in another clinical trial

within 28 days prior to the screening visit.

- History or presence of gastrointestinal, hepatic or renal disease or other conditions

that could interfere with absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of esomeprazole.

- Unstable diabetes mellitus or history of seizure disorder.

- Any acute or chronic illness or a medical history, which in the opinion of the

investigator and/or sponsor, could compromise the patient's safety or successful participation in the study.
