Trial summary

The purpose of this observational study is to assess the risk of out-of-hospital Sudden Cardiac (heart) Death (SCD) associated with current use of domperidone compared to current use of a Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI), current use of metoclopramide, or non-use of any of these medications.

About this study

Official title: Post-Authorization Safety Study: Risk of Out-of-Hospital Sudden Cardiac Death in Users of Domperidone, Users of Proton Pump Inhibitors, and Users of Metoclopramide

The purpose of this observational study is to assess the risk of out-of-hospital Sudden Cardiac (heart) Death (SCD) associated with current use of domperidone compared to current use of a Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI), current use of metoclopramide, or non-use of any of these medications.

Read the detailed description

This is a population-based, retrospective (a study in which the exposures and outcomes occurred before the study began), and nested case-control study (a study in which the patients with the study outcome [cases] and comparison patients without that outcome [controls] are observed to assess their exposure to the medication being studied [domperidone, PPI's and metoclopramide]). The data will come from the United Kingdom's Clinical Practice Research Datalink. The study will estimate the rate of SCD during periods of exposure to each of the study medications, and during periods of exposure to none of them; and the ratios of these rates. It will also use a "case-crossover" analysis (in which each case serves as his/her own control) to re-estimate these rate ratios in a manner that takes account of personal characteristics such as obesity or smoking that may affect the study findings and are incompletely recorded in the database.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • No interventionDrug

    Also called Motilium

    This is an observational and a retrospective study of existing data, so there will be no interventions. The exposure groups will be domperidone, proton pump inhibitors (omeprazole, lansoprazole, esomeprazole, rabeprazole, and pantoprazole), and metoclopramide.

Study groups in NCT01907633
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Domperidone/ a proton pump inhibitor/metoclopramide usersStudy patients had at least one prescription for domperidone, a proton pump inhibitor, or metoclopramide. Proton pump inhibitors observed in this study are: omeprazole, lansoprazole, esomeprazole, rabeprazole, and pantoprazole.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of out-of-hospital sudden cardiac death (SCD) associated with the exposure to domperidone, proton pump inhibitor, metoclopramide, and none of these medications

    This will be evaluated for the number of study participants (who had SCD) exposed to domperidone, proton pump inhibitor, metoclopramide, and none of these medications. SCD is defined as a natural death from an unexpected circulatory arrest, usually due to a cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat).

    Measured: 7 years

  2. Number of out-of-hospital Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) in relation to domperidone exposure period and domperidone non-exposure period

    This will be evaluated for the number of study participants who had SCD in relation to domperidone exposure period and domperidone non-exposure period. SCD is defined as a natural death from an unexpected circulatory arrest, usually due to a cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat). This will be analyzed by case-crossover method (self-matching design) which will be adjusted for personal characteristics that vary little over time in each individual. eg, for obesity.

    Measured: 7 years

  3. Number of out-of-hospital Sudden Cardiac Deaths (SCD) in relation to Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) exposure period and PPI non-exposure period

    This will be evaluated for the number of study participants who had SCD in relation to PPI exposure period and PPI non-exposure period. SCD is defined as a natural death from an unexpected circulatory arrest, usually due to a cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat). This will be analyzed by case-crossover method (self-matching design) which will be adjusted for personal characteristics that vary little over time in each individual. eg, for obesity.

    Measured: 7 years

  4. Number of out-of-hospital Sudden Cardiac Deaths (SCD) in relation to metoclopramide exposure period and metoclopramide non-exposure period

    This will be evaluated for the number of study participants who had SCD in relation to metoclopramide exposure period and metoclopramide non-exposure period. SCD is defined as a natural death from an unexpected circulatory arrest, usually due to a cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat). This will be analyzed by case-crossover method (self-matching design) which will be adjusted for personal characteristics that vary little over time in each individual. eg, for obesity.

    Measured: 7 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Death, Sudden, Cardiac, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC.

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 3 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 19 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

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?

Number of out-of-hospital sudden cardiac death (SCD) associated with the exposure to domperidone, proton pump inhibitor, metoclopramide, and none of these medications (time frame: 7 years). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 19 May 2015.
