Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax)
Predose (0 hour), and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 hours postdose
Time to Reach Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax)
Predose (0 hour), and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 hours postdose
Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to Last Quantifiable Concentration [AUC (0-t)]
Predose (0 hour), and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 hours postdose

AUC (0-t)= Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time zero (predose) to time of last quantifiable concentration (0-t).

Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to Extrapolated Infinite Time [AUC (0 - ∞)]
Predose (0 hour), and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 hours postdose

AUC (0 - ∞)= Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) from time zero (predose) to extrapolated infinite time (0 - ∞). It is obtained from AUC (0 - t) plus AUC (t - ∞).

Plasma Decay Half-Life (t1/2)
Predose (0 hour), and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 hours postdose

Plasma decay half-life is the time measured for the plasma concentration to decrease by one half.

Apparent Oral Clearance (CL/F)
Predose (0 hour), and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 hours postdose

Clearance of a drug is a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. Clearance obtained after oral dose (apparent oral clearance) is influenced by the fraction of the dose absorbed. Clearance was estimated from population pharmacokinetic (PK) modeling. Drug clearance is a quantitative measure of the rate at which a drug substance is removed from the blood.

Terminal-Phase Volume of Distribution (Vz/F)
Predose (0 hour), and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 hours postdose

Vz/F was calculated as the ratio of clearance (CL) to terminal disposition rate constant (λz).

Frequently asked questions about Pantoprazole for approximately 9 weeks

What is pantoprazole for approximately 9 weeks?

Pantoprazole for approximately 9 weeks is an investigational small molecule developed by Pfizer, Inc. (ticker PFE) for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux. It is in Phase 3 clinical development. The name reflects a roughly nine-week treatment course studied in clinical trials rather than a distinct chemical entity.

What does pantoprazole for approximately 9 weeks target?

Pantoprazole for approximately 9 weeks targets ATP4A and ATP4B. It acts as an inhibitor of these targets. ATP4A and ATP4B form the gastric proton pump, the enzyme responsible for secreting acid into the stomach, so inhibiting this pump reduces gastric acid production.

Who makes pantoprazole for approximately 9 weeks?

Pfizer, Inc. is the developer of pantoprazole for approximately 9 weeks. Pfizer trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker PFE. The company is responsible for the clinical development program in gastroesophageal reflux.

What phase is pantoprazole for approximately 9 weeks in?

Pantoprazole for approximately 9 weeks is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA. Two Phase 3 trials have been completed, and no trials are currently active.

What clinical trials is pantoprazole for approximately 9 weeks in?

Two completed Phase 3 trials studied pantoprazole for approximately 9 weeks. NCT00195208 compared a pantoprazole formulation to the marketed tablet in adults with GERD and erosive esophagitis, enrolling 97 participants in the United States. NCT00141817 evaluated pantoprazole in children with GERD, enrolling 41 participants. Combined enrollment was 138.

Is pantoprazole for approximately 9 weeks the same as pantoprazole?

Yes, pantoprazole for approximately 9 weeks refers to pantoprazole studied over a treatment period of roughly nine weeks. The full name describes the dosing duration used in the clinical program rather than a separate drug. Pantoprazole is the active small molecule being evaluated for gastroesophageal reflux.
