Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Patients with histologically confirmed colorectal carcinoma for whom no other anti-cancer treatment was anticipated during the three month period of study.
- Patients taking a proton pump inhibitor at a fixed daily dose which had remained unchanged for at least six weeks preceding screening and was not anticipated to change during the study.
- Proton pump inhibitor compliance of \~70% (to be measured between screening and baseline (week 0)).
- Male or female patients from 18 to 65 years of age.
- Patients with a life expectancy of over three months.
- World Health Organisation (WHO) Performance Status of 0 to 1.

Exclusion
- Patients in receipt of histamine H2-receptor (H2 receptor) antagonists or any other antacid therapy, other than a proton pump inhibitor at a stable dose.
