Ilaprazole for the Treatment of Duodenal Ulcer in Chinese Patients

July 25, 2016 updated by: Livzon Pharmaceutical Group Inc.

Efficacy and Safety of Ilaprazole for Acute Duodenal Ulcer: A Randomized,Double-Blind,Rabeprazole-Controlled,Multicenterand Phase3 Trial in China in China

Patients with endoscopically diagnosed active duodenal ulcer disease were enrolled in a randomized, double-blind, parallel and dose-ranging trial. They were randomly assigned into three groups to be treated for up to four weeks and be seen at week 1, 2 and 4: three of ilaprazole, 5, 10 mg/day, and one of Rabeprazole 10 mg/day as positive control. The primary endpoint was the ulcer healing rate at week 4. Healing of ulcer was determined by its resolution from active to scarring stage. Symptoms relief was evaluated as secondary end points by using a graded score. Safety and tolerability were evaluated on basis of clinical assessments.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The primary endpoint was the healing rate of ulcers, which based on post-treatment (week 4) endoscopic changes in stage of the ulcer relative to baseline (week 0) levels. Stages of the ulcers were endoscopically assessed according to the degree of ulceration, regenerating epithelialization, and scarring, which was defined as follows: A stage (active stage, A1 & A2) where A1 stage is more severe than A2 stage, H stage (healing stage, H1 & H2) where H2 stage is better than H1 stage, and S stage (scarring stage, S1 (red scar) & S2 (white scar)) where S stage is the best stage in the three stages and S2 stage is better than S1.Healing of ulcer is deemed successful if an ulcer in A stage resolved to S stage at the end of the treatment period, regardless of S1 or S2. When endoscopy demonstrated successful ulcer healing, study medication was discontinued. Patients returned at week 2, and if unhealed further endoscopic assessment would be done at week 4. Secondary endpoints included post-treatment resolution of related gastrointestinal symptoms such as upper abdominal pain, heartburn, acid regurgitation, nausea & vomiting, eructation, and increased flatus. These symptoms were recorded on a scale ranging from 0 to 3(0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe) at baseline, week 1, 2, and 4. Resolution of symptoms were defined as "excellence", "effective", "improved", or "ineffective" relative to baseline levels, of which complete symptom relief or complete absence of the symptom without recurrence was deemed as "excellence". Safety assessments based mainly on the occurrence, frequency, and severity of adverse events, which were monitored throughout the duration of the study, and also based on comprehensive indexes, including physical examination, electrocardiography, and routine laboratory investigations, which were performed at baseline and repeated at the end of the treatment period. For all adverse events, where necessary, patients were withdrawn from the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 65 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
The primary endpoint was the healing rate of ulcers, which based on post-treatment (week 4) endoscopic changes in stage of the ulcer relative to baseline (week 0) levels.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
