Outcome results

Primary

Mean Percent Time That Gastric pH > 4.0 on Day 5

for 24 hours starting Day 5 for each period

Time frame: 24 hours

Population: This study was a three period, crossover study of 40 subjects entering either treatment sequence ABB or BAA; consequently each subject in the study participated in three periods over which each subject would eventually receive both Prilosec OTC and Prevacid

Comparison: This study enrolled 40 subjects in order to complete a target of at least 30 evaluable subjects. For the purpose of determination of sample size, it was assumed that at least 30 subjects would have complete data for all 3 treatment periods. Assuming the true mean difference in % time that gastric pH \> 4.0 between Prilosec OTC and Prevacid was at least 6.5, it was estimated that there would be at least 80% power to detect a treatment difference in 2-sided testing at the 5% significance level.p-value: <0.0001Mixed Models Analysis
