The Key Findings include: Mean time to first gastric pH >4 was significantly faster with PA32540 compared to the enteric-coated aspirin + enteric-coated omeprazole group; The percent time gastric pH >4 was 50.6% for PA32540 and 57.6 for enteric-coated aspirin + enteric-coated omeprazole group; The relative bioavailability of omeprazole following seven daily doses with PA32540 was 43% lower than that from enteric-coated omeprazole 40 mg.
