Conditions
Schizophrenia

Registration Number
NCT03333603
Lead Sponsor
National Taiwan University Hospital
Brief Summary

To evaluate the pharmacokinetic and safety for the esomeprazole use for schizophrenia

Detailed Description

Investigators prepare to recruit 30 schizophrenia patients in one year. Investigators will conduct a 8-week open label clinical trial for evaluation of the pharmacokinetic and safety of esomeprazole use for the schizophrenia. Investigators will give 40 mg/day esomeprazole in the first two weeks and 80 mg/day from the third week to the end of the trial. Investigators will check the area under the concentration of metabolites of esomeprazole on Day 1, Day 14 and Day 56 and the genotype of CYP2C19. The GI symptoms and related drug side effects will be evaluated.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Plasma Concentration analysisIt will be assessed on Day 1 predose, Day 14 90 mins post dose, and Day 56 90 mins post dose

The pharmacokinetic parameters for esomeprazole and its main metabolites

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
CYP2C19 genotypes analysisThe genotype will be assessed on Day 1

Investigators will genotype CYP2C19 genotype to determine that which metabolized type (poor metabolizer, intermediate metabolizer, and good metabolizer) of patients belong to.
