Study of Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI) to Prevent Strictures After Gastric

Status Withdrawn

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether suppressing acid production by administration of daily proton pump inhibitors in the early post-operative period will reduce the gastrojejunal anastomosis stricture rate in patients undergoing laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery for morbid obesity.

Clinical Trial Description

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LYRGB) has been shown to be a safe and effective procedure for the treatment of morbid obesity. However, a common early complication of LYRGB is stricture at the gastrojejunal (GJ) anastomosis, occurring in 4% - 27% of patients, usually within the third post-operative month. This complication usually presents with progressive dysphagia leading to daily vomiting. Endoscopic balloon dilation is the treatment of choice for this complication, and multiple dilations are often required to provide complete resolution.

The etiology of GJ anastomotic strictures is unknown and is probably multi-factorial. Some investigators hypothesize that ischemia or non-ischemia-related excessive scar formation is the cause of stricture. The method of construction of the anastomosis as well seems to have an impact, as circular stapled anastomoses may have higher rates of stricture than linear staplers or completely hand-sewn anastomoses. The route of the Roux limb (antecolic vs retrocolic) does not appear to affect this complication.

Several investigators have demonstrated little acid production in the gastric bypass pouch. Despite this data, acid secretion has been hypothesized as a predominant factor in the development of GJ stricture. This hypothesis is supported in part by the frequent finding of ulcers at the site of stricture in up to 55% of patients. The purpose of this study is to determine whether suppressing acid production by administration of daily proton pump inhibitors in the early post-operative period will reduce GJ anastomosis stricture rate.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
