Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This prospective, single-blind, matched controlled study aims to evaluate the effect of proton pump inhibitors on biochemical markers of calcium and bone metabolism in an effort to establish additional biological plausibility for the apparent association between proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and osteoporosis-related fractures.

Young males (age 18-45 years), who are either healthy volunteers, or who complain of daily or frequent heartburn but are otherwise healthy, will be recruited and enrolled in the study. Patients with heartburn will be assigned to the intervention group and will be assigned to take a PPI for three months. Healthy volunteers will be matched by age to patients in the intervention group and will act as the control group. 70 patients will be enrolled in total. Blood studies for all subjects will be taken at 0, 1 and 3 months to test for various biochemical markers of calcium and bone metabolism, which act as surrogate markers of calcium absorption and bone remodeling.

Levels of biochemical markers in the two groups will be compared using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Changes in biochemical parameters within a group will be assessed using repeated measures ANOVA.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Proton Pump Inhibitors

patients were started on Proton Pump inhibitors for 3 months (the whole duration of the study)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Rabeprazole or Esomeprazole or Lanzoprazole

Intervention Type DRUG

1/3 of the patients are taking Pariet (Rabeprazole) 20 mg once daily 1/3 of the patients are taking Nexium (Esomeprazole) 40 mg once daily 1/3 of the patients are taking Lanzor (Lanzoprazole) 30 mg once daily

No Proton Pump Inhibitors

patients are not taking any Proton Pump Inhibitor, and they are matched by age to patients in the experimental group.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
