Brief Summary  

Ilaprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, has been newly introduced in India, that is being marketed for the treatment of peptic ulcer disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease and functional dyspepsia.

There are no published reports from India of head-to-head comparison between Ilaprazole and the other proton pump inhibitors, which have known efficacy in suppressing gastric acid secretion, in the treatment of acid-peptic disorders. We therefore decided to conduct a double blind , randomized, controlled trial to compare Ilaprazole with Rabeprazole in uninvestigated dyspepsia.

Study subjects would be recruited from the General Medicine OPD of Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education & Research (IPGME&R) and Seth Sukhlal Karnani Memorial (SSKM) Hospital, Kolkata. Adult subjects (18-55 years) of either sex, complaining of dyspepsia for at least 1 month would be included. Subjects with alarm symptoms (indicating risk of gastroesophageal malignancy or other serious gastrointestinal disorders), those taking drugs that might cause dyspeptic symptoms and those with serious concomitant disease of vital organs would be excluded. Subjects would be randomized to receive either Ilaprazole 10 mg once daily or Rabeprazole 20 mg once daily, before breakfast. Drugs would be administered in double blind manner. Treatment would be for 6weeks and subjects would be assessed at the end of 3 and 6 weeks. Target sample size, adjusting for dropouts, is 61 patients per group.

The primary outcome measure for effectiveness would be total symptom score as assessed by Global Overall Symptom Scale (each symptom scored on a 7-point Likert scale). For each symptom, relief would be taken as a score or 3 or less and resolution as a score of 1 or less. Secondary efficacy variables would be score on Modified frequency scale for the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease and Quality of life assessed by SF8 QOL questionnaire. Standard biochemical test parameters and treatment emergent adverse events would be recorded as safety variables.

Data would be analyzed in the Department of Pharmacology, IPGME&R.
