Electrical Stimulation Therapy (EST) of the Lower Esophageal Sphincter (GERD)

GERD

The investigational device that will be used in this trial is the EndoStim® Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES) Stimulation System. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and the effectiveness of electrical stimulation therapy (EST) on the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) in the treatment of subjects with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The study population will consist of subjects diagnosed with pathological GERD as defined by abnormal pH and who complain of heartburn, regurgitation or both for > 6 months, on a daily PPI use.

Assessment of Zegerid on Esophageal pH in Patients With Barrett's Esophagus

Barrett EsophagusGastroesophageal Reflux

The purpose of this research study is to assess how safe, effective (how well it works), and tolerable (to put up with) the drug Zegerid is in reducing reflux episodes in patients who have both gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and Barrett's esophagus. Zegerid has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of GERD. The investigators hope to learn the effectiveness of Zegerid for reducing the amount of acid reflux patients are experiencing in the esophagus (swallowing pipe).

Registry Study of the NDO Surgical Plicator for the Treatment of GERD

GERD

The purpose of this study is to collect post-marketing data on patient outcomes and satisfaction following treatment with the Plicator™. The outcomes will be tracked through analysis of patient Quality of Life (QoL) questionnaires and medication use. The QoL and medication use questionaires will be administered and documented twice before the procedure and then again at outlined intervals following the procedure. Additionally, financial measures will be evaluated (i.e. pre-procedural and procedural time and costs, staffing/personnel needs during procedure, anesthesia and related costs, recovery time and associated cost, etc.) and post-procedure GERD-related medical history questionnaires will be completed. This post-market evaluation is a multi-center study design using the NDO Surgical, Inc. Plicator as the treatment device. Treatment efficacy will be evaluated by comparing QoL and medication use before and after treatment with the device. Patient follow-ups will be completed at 1 week and at 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months post treatment.

Efficacy And Safety Of PF-00885706 For The Relief Of Symptoms In Subjects With Gastro-esophageal...

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

To understand the dose-response characteristics of PF-00885706 for efficacy in terms of symptomatic relief when used as add-on treatment to esomeprazole 20mg (standard proton pump inhibitor [PPI] treatment), in subjects with gastro-esophageal reflux (GERD) who have inadequate relief with PPIs.

An Explorative Trial to Evaluate the Pharmacodynamic Effect of SPD557 on Reflux Parameters in Refractory...

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

The purpose of this trial is to investigate the pharmacodynamic effect on reflux parameters of SPD557 tablets (0.5 mg t.i.d., on top of PPI treatment) in patients with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) with persistent symptoms despite taking a stable dose of proton pump inhibitors. Additionally the effect on symptoms will be explored and safety and tolerability will be evaluated.

Quantifying Effects of Treatment of Pediatric Dysphonia

Voice DisordersGastroesophageal Reflux

The diagnosis and management of childhood dysphonia is a significant clinical problem; however, there have been few studies aimed at defining standard assessment methods for pediatric dysphonia. Accordingly, pediatric dysphonia is difficult to diagnose and it is difficult to quantify change following treatment. The long-term goal of this research program is to develop valid, responsive, reliable, and age-appropriate methods for assessing vocal pathology in children. In the present small grant, our objective is to define assessment methods that are appropriate for use in determining response to treatment. Our main focus, therefore, is the issue of assessment responsivity. The first specific aim is to develop a set of responsive measures of vocal pathology in school-aged children by inducing short-term change in vocal status via behavioral and medical management of extraesophageal reflux disease (EERD). Because we are treating children suspected of EERD, this study also presents the opportunity for examining the benefits of combined vocal hygiene and medical management in the treatment of pediatric EERD. Accordingly, our second specific aim is to determine predictive criteria for improvement in vocal status in dysphonic children suspected of EERD. Our hypothesis is that a particular set of measurements will emerge as particularly responsive to change in vocal pathology in this population, and will allow for informed prediction of degree of improvement with treatment. The proposed research is significant in filling a gap in knowledge in childhood dysphonia assessment and treatment, which are important clinical issues consistent with the mission and intent of the NIDCD. Because phonatory disorders in children may have lasting negative effects, studies geared toward accurate assessment and treatment are very important.

Fexofenadine Use in Gastroesophageal Reflux Symptoms

Gastroesophageal Reflux

The investigators wish to study the effectiveness of Fexofenadine (an over the counter allergy pill) for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux symptoms in patients who still have symptoms despite being on a proton pump inhibitor. The investigators will do this by giving participants both Fexofenadine (an H1 blocker) for 2 weeks and placebo (sugar pill) for 2 weeks. The participants will not know which drug they are getting at a particular time. This will help the investigators better assess the true effectiveness of Fexofenadine.
