• Research summary

  The purpose of this study is to compare a new tablet designed to treat ulcers, gastro-oesophageal flu disease and other conditions involving excessive stomach acid production with a currently marketed tablet. This study will find out how much of and the rate at which the active ingredient from each of the formulations gets into and is removed from the body. To investigate this, volunteers will receive a single dose of each of the 2 products on 2 separate occasions (i.e. 4 assessment periods, total of 4 doses) in a random order during the study. Male volunteers (aged between 18-55 years) will take part in this study at one centre in the UK. The maximum duration of the study from screening until discharge from the clinic in the final period could be up to 72 days for each volunteer (allowing for a minimum of 14 days between the four doses).
