Trial Outcomes & Findings for Risk of Cancer Among Pantoprazole Users (NCT NCT01322633)

NCT ID: NCT01322633

Last Updated: 2014-02-20

Results Overview

Incidence rate was expressed as cases per 100,000 person-years with 95 percent (%) confidence intervals. Incidence rates were estimated from 1 year after the index date and were censored at the earliest of following events: diagnosis of gastric cancer, death, withdrawal from KPNC membership or end of the study, whichever occurred first for pantoprazole group. For other PPI group, data was also censored in case participants switched to pantoprazole group. Index date: the earliest date at which participant had achieved 240 days of study drug exposure within a 12 month time period before the study start date. Person-year was estimated by calculating all of the years that participants in a study were followed. Person-year calculations were adjusted for anticipated mortality based on United States (US) life tables.

Pantoprazole
Participants enrolled in Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC) health maintenance organization who received treatment with pantoprazole (Protonix, pantoprazole sodium) tablets as per standard clinical practice for at least 240 days within a 12-month period during 4 years (from 2000 to 2003) before the start of study, were observed for up to 7.5 years.
Other Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI)
Participants enrolled in KPNC health maintenance organization who received treatment with any PPI other than pantoprazole (any combination of omeprazole, lansoprazole, rabeprazole, or esomeprazole) as per standard clinical practice for at least 240 days within a 12-month period during 8 years (from 1996 to 2003) before the start of study, were observed for up to 7.5 years.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 year after index date up to diagnosis of gastric cancer, death, withdrawal from KPNC membership, date when other PPI participants switched to pantoprazole or end of the study (up to Year 7.5)

Population: Analysis population included all participants who met the inclusion criteria.

Incidence rate was expressed as cases per 100,000 person-years with 95 percent (%) confidence intervals. Incidence rates were estimated from 1 year after the index date and were censored at the earliest of following events: diagnosis of gastric cancer, death, withdrawal from KPNC membership or end of the study, whichever occurred first for pantoprazole group. For other PPI group, data was also censored in case participants switched to pantoprazole group. Index date: the earliest date at which participant had achieved 240 days of study drug exposure within a 12 month time period before the study start date. Person-year was estimated by calculating all of the years that participants in a study were followed. Person-year calculations were adjusted for anticipated mortality based on United States (US) life tables.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 year after index date up to diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancer, death, withdrawal from KPNC membership, date when other PPI participants switched to pantoprazole or end of the study (up to Year 7.5)

Population: Analysis population included all participants who met the inclusion criteria.

Incidence rate was expressed as cases per 100,000 person-years with 95 percent (%) confidence intervals. Incidence rates were estimated from 1 year after the index date and were censored at the earliest of following events: diagnosis of cancer of colon, pancreas, liver or small intestine, death, withdrawal from KPNC membership or end of the study, whichever occurred first for pantoprazole group. For other PPI group, data was also censored in case participants switched to pantoprazole group. Index date: the earliest date at which participant had achieved 240 days of study drug exposure within a 12 month time period before the study start date. Person-year was estimated by calculating all of the years that participants in a study were followed. Person-year calculations were adjusted for anticipated mortality based on United States (US) life tables.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 year after index date up to diagnosis of any cancer, death, withdrawal from KPNC membership, date when other PPI participants switched to pantoprazole or end of the study (up to Year 7.5)

Population: Analysis population included all participants who met the inclusion criteria.

Incidence rate was expressed as cases per 100,000 person-years with 95 percent (%) confidence intervals. Incidence rates were estimated from 1 year after the index date and were censored at the earliest of following events: diagnosis of any type of cancer (excluding non-melanoma skin cancers), death, withdrawal from KPNC membership or end of the study, whichever occurred first for pantoprazole group. For other PPI group, data was also censored in case participants switched to pantoprazole group. Index date: the earliest date at which participant had achieved 240 days of study drug exposure within a 12 month time period before the study start date.
