Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the bioavailability of a new rabeprazole formulation, consisting of enteric-coated microgranules, relative to the currently marketed 10-mg tablet formulation.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objective was to determine the palatability of the oral suspension of rabeprazole.;Primary end point(s): Maximum drug plasma concentration (Cmax), Time of maximum observed plasma concentration (tmax), Elimination half-life during the apparent terminal disposition phase (t1/2?z), Area under the concentration-curve (AUC) from time 0 to t (AUC (0-t)), Area under the concentration-curve from time 0 to infinity (AUC (0- 8)), and log transformed values for AUC and Cmax. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Predose (-1 hour) and at 30 minutes, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16 hours postdose. | — |

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Mean Palatability scores within 5 minutes of receiving the oral suspension of rabeprazole ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Within 5 mins of receiving the oral suspension of rabeprazole | — |
