Detailed Clinical Trial Description

The aim of this protocol is to study the medical management of acid hypersecretory states including Zollinger-Ellison using Prevacid. The immediate objective is to heal peptic ulcers and eliminate symptoms and in the long term to prevent relapse of symptoms, lesions and complications. Other objectives include observation of the efficacy in controlling gastric acid production and of the safety of high dose, long-term use of Prevacid.

Intervention(s) in this Clinical Trial

  • Drug: Lansoprazole (Prevacid)
    • Lansoprazole 30mg capsules. dose is individualized to each subject based on gastric acid production. The range is 30 mg to 450 mg daily.
