PG - 302-11 AB - BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: A concomitant dosage regimen of a histamine 2 receptor antagonist with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) effectively decreases the incidence of nocturnal acid breakthrough, which is one of the problems encountered when acid-related diseases are treated with a PPI alone. We compared the effectiveness of an increased dosage regimen of rabeprazole with that of a concomitant dosage regimen of rabeprazole with famotidine, relative to cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 genotype status, on nocturnal acid inhibition. METHODS: Fifteen Helicobacter pylori-negative volunteers, consisting of 5 homozygous extensive metabolizers (EMs), 6 heterozygous EMs, and 4 poor metabolizers (PMs) of CYP2C19, took 20 mg rabeprazole, 40 mg rabeprazole, and 20 mg rabeprazole plus 20 mg famotidine at bedtime (at 10 PM) for 8 days. The subjects then underwent 24-hour intragastric pH monitoring on day 8. RESULTS: For the 20-mg rabeprazole, 40-mg rabeprazole, and concomitant dosage regimens, the median percent times and ranges when nocturnal intragastric pH values were lower than 4.0 were 78.8% (47.5%-98.0%), 45.3% (29.0%-52.2%), and 15.5% (0.0%-40.8%), respectively, for homozygous EMs; 51.0% (7.0%-91.6%), 41.3% (33.0%-59.0%), and 18.5% (8.4%-31.9%), respectively, for heterozygous EMs; and 4.5% (2.0%-31.2%), 9.5% (0.0%-31.1%), and 9.3% (0.0%-14.7%), respectively, for PMs. Although significant differences in acid inhibition between the different CYP2C19 genotypes were observed when rabeprazole alone was given (P = .016 for 20 mg rabeprazole and P = .023 for 40 mg rabeprazole), such differences were not observed when famotidine was concomitantly given (P = .206). CONCLUSIONS: The combination regimen of famotidine plus rabeprazole is more effective for nocturnal acid inhibition in homozygous and heterozygous EMs than the increased dosage regimen of rabeprazole. This concomitant therapy could be a rescue regimen for patients with nocturnal acid breakthrough refractory to a standard PPI therapy who are likely to be CYP2C19 EMs. FAU - Sugimoto, Mitsushige AU - Sugimoto M AD - First Department of Medicine, Hamamatsu University School of Medicine, Hamamatsu, Japan. mitsu@hama-med.ac.jp FAU - Furuta, Takahisa AU - Furuta T FAU - Shirai, Naohito AU - Shirai N FAU - Nakamura, Akiko AU - Nakamura A FAU - Kajimura, Masayoshi AU - Kajimura M FAU - Hishida, Akira AU - Hishida A FAU - Ohashi, Kyoichi AU - Ohashi K FAU - Ishizaki, Takashi AU - Ishizaki T LA - eng PT - Clinical Trial PT - Comparative Study PT - Journal Article PT - Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't PL - United States TA - Clin Pharmacol Ther JT - Clinical pharmacology and therapeutics JID - 0372741 RN - 0 (2-Pyridinylmethylsulfinylbenzimidazoles) RN - 0 (Benzimidazoles) RN - 0 (Enzyme Inhibitors) RN - 0 (Histamine H2 Antagonists) RN - 32828355LL (Rabeprazole) RN - 5QZO15J2Z8 (Famotidine) RN - EC 1.- (Mixed Function Oxygenases) RN - EC 1.14.14.1 (Aryl Hydrocarbon Hydroxylases) RN - EC 1.14.14.1 (CYP2C19 protein, human) RN - EC 1.14.14.1 (Cytochrome P-450 CYP2C19) RN - EC 3.6.1.- (Adenosine Triphosphatases) RN - EC 3.6.3.14 (Proton-Translocating ATPases) RN - KG60484QX9 (Omeprazole) SB - IM MH - 2-Pyridinylmethylsulfinylbenzimidazoles MH - Adenosine Triphosphatases/antagonists & inhibitors MH - Adult MH - Aryl Hydrocarbon Hydroxylases/genetics MH - Benzimidazoles/administration & dosage/*pharmacology MH - Circadian Rhythm MH - Cytochrome P-450 CYP2C19 MH - Drug Synergism MH - Drug Therapy, Combination MH - Enzyme Inhibitors/administration & dosage/*pharmacology MH - Famotidine/administration & dosage/*pharmacology MH - Female MH - Gastric Acid/*metabolism MH - Genotype MH - Histamine H2 Antagonists/administration & dosage/*pharmacology MH - Humans MH - Male MH - Mixed Function Oxygenases/genetics MH - Omeprazole/administration & dosage/*analogs & derivatives/*pharmacology MH - Polymorphism, Genetic MH - Proton-Translocating ATPases/antagonists & inhibitors MH - Rabeprazole EDAT- 2005/05/21 09:00 MHDA- 2005/06/03 09:00 CRDT- 2005/05/21 09:00 PHST- 2005/05/21 09:00 [pubmed] PHST- 2005/06/03 09:00 [medline] PHST- 2005/05/21 09:00 [entrez] AID - 10.1016/j.clpt.2004.10.010 [doi] PST - ppublish SO - Clin Pharmacol Ther. 2005 Apr;77(4):302-11. doi: 10.1016/j.clpt.2004.10.010.
