Uses of benzimidazole derivative for nocturnal acid breakthrough
The present invention relates to a use of benzimidazole derivative compounds for improvement and treatment of nocturnal acid breakthrough (NAB). The benzimidazole derivative compounds can more effectively prevent and treat gastric acid-related diseases by effectively improving and treating nocturnal nocturnal acid breakthrough symptoms.
1. A method for preventing nocturnal acid breakthrough (NAB), comprising:
administering a pharmaceutical composition to a subject in need thereof, wherein the composition comprises a compound represented by Chemical formula 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as an active ingredient,
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises 10 mg to 500 mg of the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises 50 mg to 200 mg of the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject is a patient suffering from a disease selected from the group consisting of erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (NERD), gastric ulcer, Barrett's esophagus, and esophagus motility disorder.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject is a patient taking a proton pump inhibitor due to a disease selected from the group consisting of erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (NERD), gastric ulcer, Barrett's esophagus, and esophagus motility disorder.
6. A method for preventing nocturnal acid breakthrough (NAB), comprising:
administering a unit dosage form to a subject in need thereof, wherein the unit dosage form comprises 10 mg to 500 mg of a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as an active ingredient,
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the unit dosage form further comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the subject is a patient suffering from a disease selected from the group consisting of erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (NERD), gastric ulcer, Barrett's esophagus, and esophagus motility disorder.
9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the unit dosage form is administered before dinner or bedtime.
10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the unit dosage form is administered one to three times a day to a lowest acceptable daily dose.
11. The method of claim 6 , wherein the unit dosage form is for oral administration.
12. The method of claim 6 , wherein the percentage of time when gastric pH is maintained at 4 or higher out of 12 hours after the administration of the unit dosage form is 65% or more.
13. The method of claim 6 , wherein the gastric pH reaches 4 within 2 hours after the administration of the unit dosage form.
14. The method of claim 6 , wherein the unit dosage form comprises 50 mg to 200 mg of the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
15. The method of claim 6 , wherein the subject is a patient taking a proton pump inhibitor due to a disease selected from the group consisting of erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (NERD), gastric ulcer, Barrett's esophagus, and esophagus motility disorder.
16. A method for treating nocturnal acid breakthrough (NAB) in a patient who has erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (NERD), comprising:
orally administering 10 mg to 500 mg of a compound represented by Chemical formula 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to the patient in need thereof to ameliorate a symptom of NAB in the patient,
17. A method for preventing nocturnal acid breakthrough (NAB) in a patient who has erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (NERD), comprising:
orally administering 10 mg to 500 mg of a compound represented by Chemical formula 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to the patient in need thereof to suppress or retard an occurrence of NAB in the patient,
18. A method for preventing nocturnal acid breakthrough (NAB) in a patient who has erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (NERD), comprising:
orally administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as an active ingredient, to the patient in need thereof to suppress or retard an occurrence of NAB in the patient,
19. A method for treating erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (NERD) in a patient by treatment of nocturnal acid breakthrough (NAB), comprising:
orally administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as an active ingredient, to the patient in need thereof,
and
improving or ameliorating a symptom of NAB in the patient.
20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the patient takes a proton pump inhibitor due to the GERD or the NERD.
21. A method for treating erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (NERD) in a patient by prevention of nocturnal acid breakthrough (NAB), comprising:
orally administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as an active ingredient, to the patient in need thereof,
and
suppressing or retarding an occurrence of NAB in the patient.
22. The method of claim 21 , wherein the patient takes a proton pump inhibitor due to the GERD or the NERD.
23. A method for preventing recurrence of erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (NERD) in a human by prevention of nocturnal acid breakthrough (NAB), comprising:
orally administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as an active ingredient, to the human in need thereof,
and
suppressing an occurrence of NAB in the human.
