Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pharmacokinetic Analysis in Obese Children After One Single Oral Dose of Pantoprazole (Cmax).pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 6, & 8 hours

The pharmacokinetic blood samples will be 1.0 ml each and collected at pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 6, \& 8 hours after receiving one dose of Pantoprazole study drug. For those subjects with the poor metabolizer CYP2C19 genotype, an additional PK sample will be obtained at 12 hours after dosing. Here we report Cmax.

Pharmacokinetic Analysis in Obese Children After One Single Oral Dose of Pantoprazole (Tmax).pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 6, & 8 hours

The pharmacokinetic blood samples will be 1.0 ml each and collected at pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 6, \& 8 hours after receiving one dose of Pantoprazole study drug. For those subjects with the poor metabolizer CYP2C19 genotype, an additional PK sample will be obtained at 12 hours after dosing. Here we report Tmax.

PK SamplingPre-dose (within 30 minutes), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 6, and 8 hours (±10 minutes) after dosing

Total number of fresh plasma samples (all participants)

Drug Concentration in Plasma SamplesPre-dose (within 30 minutes), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 6, and 8 hours (±10 minutes) after dosing

Concentration of panto in plasma and concentration of panto sulfone in plasma

Pharmacokinetic Analysis in Obese Children After One Single Oral Dose of Pantoprazole (AUC).pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 6, & 8 hours

The pharmacokinetic blood samples will be 1.0 ml each and collected at pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 6, \& 8 hours after receiving one dose of Pantoprazole study drug. For those subjects with the poor metabolizer CYP2C19 genotype, an additional PK sample will be obtained at 12 hours after dosing. Here we report AUC LBW.

Pharmacokinetic Analysis in Obese Children After One Single Oral Dose of Pantoprazole (CL/F).pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 6, & 8 hours

The pharmacokinetic blood samples will be 1.0 ml each and collected at pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 6, \& 8 hours after receiving one dose of Pantoprazole study drug. For those subjects with the poor metabolizer CYP2C19 genotype, an additional PK sample will be obtained at 12 hours after dosing. Here we report CL/F TBW.

Pharmacokinetic Analysis in Obese Children After One Single Oral Dose of Pantoprazole (Vd/F).pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 6, & 8 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The CYP2C19 Genotype and Its Association With CYP2C19 Phenotype0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 hours post-dose

To examine the association of CYP2C19 genotype and its association with CYP2C19 phenotypes. To characterize the ability of the CYP2C19 genotype to predict pantoprazole plasma clearance, a correlation with CYP2C19 phenotype was explored using both standard linear and nonlinear regression techniques and their respective tests for significance and goodness of fit. In addition, the impact of all covariates on pantoprazole systemic exposure and apparent plasma clearance (e.g., demographic determinants of extent of obesity such as the waist:hip ratio, CYP2C19 genotype, BMI, and REE) was explored using validated population-based PK methods (NONMEM).
