NCT ID NCT04248335

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This study looked at how obesity affects the way children's bodies process common acid reflux medications like lansoprazole and pantoprazole. Researchers gave a single dose of these drugs to 76 children aged 6-21, both with and without obesity, and measured how long the drugs stayed in their blood. The goal was to understand if obesity changes drug clearance and dosing needs, which could lead to safer, more effective use in kids.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Lansoprazole, Pantoprazole, Midazolam
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors prescribe more accurate doses of acid reflux drugs for children with obesity.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study focused on measuring drug levels, not testing a new treatment. Results may not apply to all children or lead to immediate changes in care.
