PK-PPI: Study of the Effects of Pantoprazole on Levels of Prescribed Psychiatric Medications
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this 9-day study is to determine if:
-
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)
-
Serum gastrin levels change within a week of starting or stopping pantoprazole

Phase 4 |
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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- 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
- 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
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
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)
-
Participants on a stable dose of valproic acid, lithium, and/or a second-generation antipsychotic for a sufficient period of time that ensures they are at steady state
