    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To improve clinical outcomes of the initial therapy for gastroesophageal reflux disease, intragastric pH should be above 4.0 for more than 20 hours a day (83.3%) and nocturnal gastric acid breakthrough, defined as 60 continuous minutes of intragastric pH below 4.0 at night, should be inhibited. A "step-down" therapy sometimes fails because of insufficient acid suppression. Therefore we compared the acid-suppressive effects of proton pump inhibitors. METHODS: This was a prospective, randomized, open-label, 8-way crossover study. In 9 healthy Helicobacter pylori-negative cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 homozygous extensive metabolizers, intragastric pH was measured for 24 hours on day 7 of treatment with rabeprazole, omeprazole, and lansoprazole orally administered once daily at reduced and standard doses. RESULTS: Compared with baseline data (7% [range, 5%-20%]), the median values of the 24-hour percent of time that intragastric pH was above 4.0 significantly increased but did not exceed 83.3% under any of the 7 regimens, which were as follows: 10 mg rabeprazole (51% [range, 28%-78%], P < .01), 20 mg rabeprazole (59% [range, 36%-83%], P < .01), 10 mg omeprazole (26% [range, 4%-33%], P < .05), 20 mg omeprazole (48% [range, 31%-73%], P < .01), 40 mg omeprazole (62% [range, 47%-87%], P < .01), 15 mg lansoprazole (34% [range, 5%-51%], P < .05), and 30 mg lansoprazole (56% [range, 20%-76%], P < .05). Significant differences were observed among 10, 20, and 40 mg omeprazole (10 mg versus 20 mg, P < .01; 10 mg versus 40 mg, P < .01; and 20 mg versus 40 mg, P < .05) and between 15 and 30 mg lansoprazole (P < .01), whereas no significant difference was observed between 10 and 20 mg rabeprazole. Nocturnal gastric acid breakthrough was observed under all regimens. CONCLUSIONS: Rabeprazole, omeprazole, and lansoprazole, given once daily at standard doses, cannot be expected to achieve ideal acid suppression for the initial therapy for gastroesophageal reflux disease in Helicobacter-negative CYP2C19 homozygous extensive metabolizers. Rabeprazole 10 mg may be appropriate for step-down therapy.
