Should “Chiral Switch” to Single Enantiomer
Help Omeprazole?
No difference after omeprazole is “activated” by H+ to R-S-O-H
(and rendered achiral).
Still one enantiomer might be more effective in getting to the key stomach cells that produce
acid.Need single enantiomer for laboratory and clinical testing.

Perspectives from a Clinician
Dianne Duffey M.D., FACSSection of Otolaryngology, Department of Surgery
Yale University School of Medicine
Disclosure
I have no financial interest in any of the drugs or companies discussed
I am not a consultant nor on any speakers’ bureaus for any company
I will discuss off label or experimental uses of compounds
Disclosure
• The opinions stated are those of the presenter and are not meant to represent those of the Section of Otolaryngology, Department of Surgery or Yale School of Medicine.
• Now, as you’ve heard testified here today: Prilosec fixes symptoms of GERD and Laryngopharyngeal Reflux.
• Or does it?
• All we know is that his symptoms improved: in his body, eating his diet, and living his life.
Patient Variables
• Are we taking into consideration other factors?
– e.g. Diet: does Professor McBride take large amounts of herbal supplements that he didn’t tell us about?
– Did he take the prescribed medication on an empty stomach? (i.e. was he compliant?)
Clinical Trials
• design of a clinical trial– Controlling variables– Statistically sound
• Biostatistics drive clinical trials design so that if differences are seen, it can be determined “with reasonable certainty” that differences observed are not due to chance
Duty - Manufacturer
• Are the pharma companies actually designing their studies so that they can make legitimate head-to-head comparisons between competitor compounds?
Duty - Physician
• evaluate the literature critically
• be able to ascertain the validity of research supporting our choices as clinicians.
Duty - Patient
• Be an educated consumer
• Direct to patient (DTP) marketing is ubiquitous
• Very effective
• www.fda.gov
Specialty is Otolaryngology(ENT)
• Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR)– Underdiagnosed– Significant source of morbidity and
decreased quality of life– Frequently associated with GERD
• GERD: Potential for premalignant disease in esophagus, significant public health problem
• It is estimated that 4% to 10% of patients presenting to an otolaryngology practice have symptoms and/or findings related to LPR.
• Laryngopharyngeal reflux is increasingly recognized as a probable contributing
factor to nonallergic asthma and many ear, nose, and throat complaints.
• Studies suggest that acid reflux is present in 50% to 80% of patients with asthma, 10% to 20% of patients with
chronic cough, up to 80% of patients with difficult-to-manage hoarseness, and 25% to 50% of patients with globus sensation.
Carrau et al; Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2005;131:315-320
Reflux
• It’s a big problem
• Hence, much money to be made
LP Reflux
• Treatment: PPI, proton pump inhibitors
• Reality: PPI are FDA approved

Drug Development
• Only 5 in 5,000 compounds entering preclinical testing make it to human testing
• 1 in 5 agents in human testing may be safe and effective enough to gain FDA approval

Clinical Trials - drug studies in humans• Phase 0
– Exploratory, first-in-human trials– A.k.a. microdosing studies– Designed to speed up development of promising agents– Establishes very early on whether agent behaves in human
subjects differently that expected from preclinical studies– Single, subtherapeutic dose of drug, small number patients
(n=10-15)– Not targeting efficacy (dose too low for therapeutic effect)– No potential benefit to patient– Endpoint: pharmacodynamic and/or pharmacokinetic
response – Interrogate and refine a target or biomarker assay for drug
effect– Expected effects at nontoxic doses and over short exposure
durations (e.g. <7days)
Clin Cancer Res 2008; 14(12), 2008
Reflux Studies
• Sustained resolution (>7days) of heartburn in patients with erosive esophagitis– No statistically significant difference
between esomeprazole 20mg (n=620) and omeprazole 20mg (n=626)
– Chose omeprazole 20mg dose because it’s “the approved dose for this indication”
http://www.fda.gov/cder/foi/label/2007/021153s027s028,021689s008s011lbl.pdf
• However, healing of erosive esophagitis was statistically significantly better for 20mg esomeprazole (p<0.05) or
40mg esomeprazole (p<0.001) over 20mg omeprazole (n = 656, 654, 650)
• Another study: no difference EO 20mg O 20mg (n = 588, 588)
• Another study: statistically significantly better for EO 40mg (p<0.001) over
O 20mg (n = 1216, 1209)
• Another study: no difference EO 40mg O 20mg (n = 576, 572)
http://www.fda.gov/cder/foi/label/2007/021153s027s028,021689s008s011lbl.pdf
• Approximately 20% to 43% of patients with LPR experience heartburn, and 18% have esophagitis.
• How are we able to use these drugs for LPR?
Carrau et al; Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2005;131:315-320
“Off-label” Use of Marketed Drugs
• “Good medical practice and the best interests of the patient require that physicians use legally available drugs, biologics and devices according to their best knowledge and judgement. If physicians use a product for an indication not in the approved labeling, they have the responsibility to be well informed about the product, to base its use on firm scientific rational and on sound medical evidence, and to maintain records of the product’s use and effects. Use of a marketed product in this manner when the intent is the “practice of medicine” does not require the submission of an IND [Investigational New Drug] application, IDE [Investigational Device Exception] or review by an Institutional Review Board (IRB).
http://www.fda.gov/OC/OHRT/IRBS/offlabel.html
Duty - Physician
• evaluate the literature critically
• be able to ascertain the validity of research supporting our choices as clinicians.
MARKETING
• Meanwhile, research investment in oncology has been growing steadily across the industry. Some view Indiana-based Eli Lilly's recent $6.5-billion bid for the biotechnology firm ImClone as a sign of increased demand for cancer drug candidates. Health-care insurance plans, too, have traditionally been more willing to pay high premiums for cancer therapies although there are signs that this attitude may be changing. And the pharmaceutical industry has recently embraced the drive towards genetically targeted, individual treatments in oncology a concept that once made companies cringe because it reduced the market for a given drug. That, says Conover, was before the industry realized that patients would pay tens of thousands of dollars for an expensive new drug. "All of a sudden," he says, "'market limiting' is OK.”
• Industry is shifting attention to Oncology (cancer), Immunology (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis), Neurology (Alzheimer’s)
