Study of the Effects of Pantoprazole on Levels of Prescribed Psychiatric Medications

Phase 4

Conditions
Psychotic Disorders

Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02213887
Lead Sponsor
University of British Columbia
Brief Summary

The purpose of this 9-day study is to determine if:

1. Pantoprazole modifies the steady-state plasma concentrations of orally administered psychotropic medications including valproic acid, lithium, and second-generation antipsychotics (i.e., aripiprazole, asenapine, clozapine, lurasidone, olanzapine, paliperidone, quetiapine, risperidone, ziprasidone)

2. Serum gastrin levels change within a week of starting or stopping pantoprazole

Detailed Description

Individuals with psychiatric diagnoses may be predisposed to gastroesophageal reflux disease because of the widespread use of alcohol, cigarettes, and certain psychotropic drugs in this population. Consequently, they are often prescribed proton pump inhibitors. To our knowledge, no studies have been conducted to determine the effects of proton pump inhibitors on plasma levels of psychotropic drugs. The present clinical study will assess the effects of pantoprazole on the pharmacokinetics of valproic acid, lithium, and second-generation antipsychotics.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Participants must be fluent in English
  • Participants with a psychiatric diagnosis and currently treated with one or more of the following medications: valproic acid, lithium, or a second-generation antipsychotic (i.e., aripiprazole, asenapine, clozapine, lurasidone, olanzapine, paliperidone, quetiapine, risperidone, or ziprasidone)

Arm && Interventions
GroupInterventionDescription
Start PantoprazolePantoprazoleParticipants have been diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease but have not started pharmacological treatment. Intervention: Days 2-8
Stop PantoprazolePantoprazoleParticipants have been taking pantoprazole for more than 8 weeks and are asymptomatic for gastroesophageal reflux disease. Intervention: Days 2-8
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from baseline in steady-state plasma concentrations of psychotropic medication(s) at Days 2, 5, and 9.Days 1(baseline), 2 , 5, and 9

Pharmacokinetic outcome measures often require multiple measurement over time. On Day 1, baseline steady-state plasma concentration of psychotropic medication(s) will be determined. On Days 2, 5, and 9, steady-state plasma concentration of psychotropic medication(s) will be determined and compared to baseline

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from baseline in fasting serum gastrin concentrations at Day 9.Days 1 (baseline) and 9

On Day 1, baseline fasting serum gastrin concentration will be determined. On Day 9, fasting serum gastrin concentration will be determined and compared to baseline
