Summary
Objectives:
To compare the prevalence of clinical symptoms of stomach problems between patients with
progressive discontinuation (one week of esomeprazole, 20mg, then discontinuation) or those
with sudden discontinuation of esomeprazole 40mg. The presence of clinical symptoms, as
reported in the modified-Proton Pump Inhibitor Acid Suppression Symptom Test (PASS) test
will be weekly assessed until 4 weeks after the inclusion.
Study design:
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 156 patients treated by
esomeprazole 40mg since 4 weeks or more, randomized to 1 week of placebo or one week of
esomeprazole 20mg.
The first day of the study (Day 0), three blood samples will be collected at fast to measure
chromogranine A (CgA), gastrinemia, and Helicobacter Pilory (HP) serology. Cytochrome P450
(CYP)2C19 activity will be assessed.
Then, at Day 1, the patients will receive esomeprazole 20mg or placebo for 7 days (Day1-8).
Participants will complete the PASS test once a week on the same weekday throughout the
study (Day8-D15-D22-D29), during a telephone interview or a consultation, if it was
scheduled in the clinical follow up of the study.
Duration of treatment:
Esomeprazole or placebo for one week (Day1-8) Omeprazole single dose (Day0) Time plan of
research
Duration for the patient:
The treatments will stop after 7 days. The questionnaires will be collected until the 4th
week, Day29.
Overall duration of inclusion: one year Maximal overall duration of the study: 365 days+29
days=394 days Maximal delay for communication of the results: 2 years

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator), Primary Purpose: Prevention
Primary outcome: Presence of one Clinical symptom of acid rebound
Secondary outcome: The intensity of the acid rebound symptomsThe intensity of the acid rebound symptoms The intensity of the acid rebound symptoms
Detailed description:
** Objectives
Primary objective:
To compare the prevalence of clinical symptoms of acid rebound, between patients with
progressive or sudden discontinuation of Proton pump inhibitors. The presence of clinical
symptoms, as described in the first question of the Proton Pump Inhibitor Acid Suppression
Symptom Test will be the primary end-point, assessed at 4 weeks the inclusion.
Secondary objective:
To compare the prevalence of clinical symptoms of acid rebound between patients with
progressive or sudden discontinuation of Proton pump inhibitors at 1,2 and 3 weeks.
To compare the consequences of the clinical symptoms using the modified-Proton Pump
Inhibitor Acid Suppression Symptom Test between patients with progressive or sudden
discontinuation of Proton pump inhibitors at 1,2,3 and 4 weeks.
To evaluate the relationship between P-gastrin, Chromogranine A, Helicobacter pilory and the
clinical symptom scores.
**Study design
Overall description:
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 156 patients treated by
esomeprazole 40mg since almost 4 weeks, for who its withdrawal has been decided randomized
to 1 week of placebo or 1 week of esomeprazole 20mg.
Patients will be recruited during their hospitalization at the time their clinician decides
to withdraw esomeprazole. A first interview with the clinician will take place to inform the
patient of the protocol, the day of this clinical decision. A written information will be
given and another interview will take place the same day for the inclusion in the case of
agreement.
Then, the first day of the study (Day0), three blood samples will be collected at fast to
measure Chromogranine A, gastrinemia, and Helicobacter Pilory serology. Then, the patient
will receive an only dose of 40mg (CYP2C19 activity) in order to assess the CYP2C19
activity by a capillary concentration two hours later.
Then, at Day1, the patients will receive esomeprazole 20mg or placebo for 7 days (Day1-8).
Participants will complete the modified-Proton Pump Inhibitor Acid Suppression Symptom Test
once a week on the same weekday throughout the study (Day8-15-22-29), during a telephone
interview or a consultation, if it was scheduled in the clinical follow up of the study.
**Primary and secondary end-points
Primary outcome:
The clinical significance of the rebound acid symptoms is defined by the presence of almost
one of these clinical symptoms.
1. Stomach pain or discomfort,
2. Heartburn (a burning feeling rising from the stomach or lower chest towards the neck or
burning feeling located behind the breastbone which may or may not rise in the chest) ;
3. Sour taste in mouth/acid regurgitation (feeling of regurgitation or unpleasant feeling
moving upwards to the mouth) ;
4. Excessive burping/belching (passing of gas through the mouth) ;
5. Increased abdominal bloating (feeling of abdominal distension or fullness) ;
6. Nausea (the sensation of needing to vomit) ;
7. Early satiety (feeling full just after eating or not able to finish meals)" These
symptoms are described in the Proton Pump Inhibitor Acid Suppression Symptom Test,
initially deigned to assess the resolution of gastroesophageal reflux disease-symptoms
following the introduction of Proton Pump Inhibitors. This test will be slightly
modified to measure the outcome of the study.
Secondary outcome measure:
- The consequence of the Rebound acid symptoms, using the questions of the Proton Pump
Inhibitor Acid Suppression Symptom Test test according to the presence of clinical
symptoms
- CYP2C19 activity
- Gastrin and Chromogranin A.
- Helicobacter pilory serology
- Study population
Inclusion criteria:
Treatment by esomeprazole 40mg since 4 weeks or more. Esomeprazole withdrawal decided by the
clinician. Male and female aged over 18 years Volunteers to participate to the study Must

Withdrawal criteria:
The different procedures for withdrawal from the study are:

- Oral Presentation of the study and written information the day when the withdrawal is
decided. Verification of inclusion and non-inclusion criteria.
