About this study

The purpose of this study is to measure the effect of omeprazole on intestinal calcium absorption in postmenopausal women.

Read the detailed description

Existing literature makes it unclear whether proton pump inhibitor therapy truly decreases intestinal calcium absorption. Up to 25 postmenopausal women will participate in this study. The primary study outcome is the change in intestinal calcium absorption following omeprazole therapy 40 mg daily for 30 days. The secondary outcomes include the change in urine n-telopeptide.

We will interview women and review their medical records to determine eligibility. Eligible subjects will undergo three calcium absorption studies. The first 2 studies will determine the monthly variation in calcium absorption, while the 3rd study will occur after taking 40 mg of omeprazole daily for 30 days. Women will present to the research unit in the early morning and receive an oral and intravenous calcium tracer with breakfast. Over the next 24 hours, we will collect all urine for measurement of its calcium content. During the first stay, we will measure each subject's gastric pH by collecting gastric fluid from a temporary nasogastric tube. In consenting subjects we will collect one tube of blood, isolate its DNA.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Omeprazole in people with Osteoporosis and Achlorhydria, run by University of Wisconsin, Madison 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 1 inclusion and 7 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 15 Feb 2013. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Jan 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Change in Intestinal Calcium Absorption From Baseline to One Month (time frame: change in calcium absorption from baseline to 1 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00582972, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 15 Feb 2013.
