Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Safety

The objectives of this study were (a) to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and to evaluate and compare the pharmacodynamics of ilaprazole and esomeprazole following a single dose (Day 1) and once daily (QD) administration for 5 consecutive days each of 10-mg, 20-mg, and 40-mg ilaprazole tablets and 40-mg esomeprazole tablets; (b) to evaluate the safety of 10-mg, 20-mg, and 40-mg ilaprazole tablets following QD oral administration for 5 consecutive days; and (c) to characterize the plasma gastrin concentration profile on Day 1 and Day 5 following QD oral administration of 10-mg, 20-mg, and 40-mg ilaprazole and 40-mg esomeprazole tablets for 5 consecutive days.
