About this study

Deprescribing is defined as "the process of withdrawal of an inappropriate medication, supervised by a health care professional with the goal of managing the polypharmacy and improving outcomes". Inappropriate use of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) is associated with severe adverse drug reactions and a major economic impact. Deprescribing should be considered when inappropriate prescription of PPI is identified.

DeprescrIPP DAM is a pragmatic trial, population-based, designed in clusters. It wil assess the efficacy of a multi-faceted intervention (an educational outreach visit to general practitioners associated with the sending of patient education material to their patients) to deprescribe PPI.

What is being measured

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

  1. PPI deprescribing

    Proportion of patients achieving a 50% decrease in their reimbursement of PPI (Defined Daily Dose (DDD)/year) at the end of the intervention compared to baseline (estimated with reimbursement databases)

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Characteristics of patients engaging in the deprescription process

    Sex, age, long-term illness, universal health insurance, complementary health insurance, medication

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing GP will receive the educational outreach visit by a DAM (healthcare representative). and Patient education material on PPI deprescribing will be sent to the patients in people with Proton Pump Inhibitors and Deprescription, run by Nantes University Hospital at 1 site in France.

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 7 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed 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.

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?

PPI deprescribing (time frame: 12 months). 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?
