About this study

Official title: Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial of Pantoprazole for Sleepiness Associated With Acid Reflux and Obstructive Sleep Disordered Breathing

The purpose of this study is to determine if using Pantoprazole decreases your daytime sleepiness and improves your reaction time when compared to using a placebo (sugar pill).

Read the detailed description

Half of the patients enrolled in the study will begin the study taking Pantoprazole. The other half will begin the study taking a placebo (sugar pill). There is an equal chance of being placed in either group.

After two weeks, the patients will stop taking their first batch of medication to allow it to completely leave their bodies. Then the patients will begin taking the other medication so that by the end of the study, each patient will have been treated with pantoprazole for two weeks and placebo for two weeks.

At the end of each two weeks, patients will be asked to complete questionnaires regarding their daytime sleepiness and reflux symptoms. Patients will also complete reaction time testing as a measure of daytime sleepiness.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Pantoprazole in people with Acid Reflux Disease and Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by University of Cincinnati at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Dec 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Difference between treatment groups with regard to change in sleepiness score (ESS). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Dec 2007.
