Active clinical trials for "Esophagitis"

An open-label, dose-escalation study to explore the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of EP-104IAR in adults with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Endoscopic and histologic assessments will also be evaluated to understand the local effects of EP-104IAR on eosinophilic EoE disease activity. The study will evaluate up to 8 doses of EP-104IAR (4 mg to 40 mg) in cohorts of 3 to 6 participants per cohort. If all planned cohorts are evaluated, or cohorts need to be repeated, up to 24 participants could be enrolled. The study involves 7 site visits spread over approximately 32 weeks. All participants will receive active study drug (EP-104IAR), The study drug will be administered by qualified personnel during an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) procedure at the Baseline/Dosing visit. Safety will be assessed throughout the study. Blood and urine samples will be collected at site visits for laboratory assessments and to measure plasma levels of EP-104IAR. Participants will complete questionnaires to assess symptoms of dysphagia and odynophagia and will undergo 3 EGDs with esophageal biopsies at the Baseline/Dosing Visit, and at 4 and 12 weeks post dose.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of JP-1366 20 mg compared to esomeprazole 40 mg in patients with erosive esophagitis

The purpose of our research study is to assess whether patients with EoE who have achieved control of their disease on topical Fluticasone or Budesonide are able to cycle or take breaks from their treatment with continued remission of their EoE. There will be 30 participants enrolled in this study. There will be 15 patients who will stay on steroid therapy every day and 15 patients who will cycle their steroid therapy on and off to help us compare the two groups. The cycling group will cycle their steroid therapy in a three-months on three-months off fashion.

Per-oral endoscopic myotomy has been used as a treatment method of esophageal achalasia. Patients who undergo POEM as a treatment of achalasia are often presented with development of reflux as a side effect of the surgery. Patients are then in need to use proton pump inhibitor drugs as a long term treatment of the reflux symptoms. Physiotherapy aimed on the strengthening of diaphragm and lower esophageal region is effective in gastroesophageal reflux disease. Therefore we are expecting positive effect of physiotherapy in post POEM patients with reflux symptoms and the possible reduction of PPI drug usage need. The aim of the study is to objectify the effect of physiotherapy, to describe in detail the used physiotherapeutic techniques and to develop practical guidelines for the treatment of patients after POEM with GERD.

In many chronic conditions adherence to long-term treatment is a challenge, also for patients with eosinophilic esophagitis. Interventions, such as behavioral, educational and reminder interventions might improve treatment adherence. With this trial the investigators want to assess the effects of additional education in combination with more frequent follow up and patient reminders on adherence to treatment in adult patients with eosinophilic esophagitis.

The purpose of this study to evaluate the potential for disease-mediated drug-drug interactions between cendakimab and selected substrates of metabolic enzymes in eosinophilic esophagitis participants.

This phase III trial studies how well domperidone works in treating patients with gastrointestinal disorders. Domperidone may help control chronic gastrointestinal disorders and their symptoms, such as pain, bloating, and nausea and vomiting, by stimulating contraction of the stomach to increase its ability to empty itself of food.

The purpose of this study is to explore the outcomes, tolerability and safety of 2 different doses of oral pantoprazole (full healing dose, half healing dose), assigned based upon weight, for the maintenance of healing of erosive esophagitis in pediatric participants aged 1 to 17 years with endoscopically-confirmed, healed erosive esophagitis.

The main aims of the study are to check the side effects and effectiveness of Dexlansoprazole in healing erosive esophagitis (EE) side effects and effectiveness of Dexlansoprazole in maintaining healed EE in children. Participants will take Dexlansoprazole by mouth.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic endoloop pre-test for gastroesophageal reflux before anti-reflux surgery or endoscopic treatment. In the study, the investigators used the novel pre-test to narrow the gastric cardia to control symptoms temporarily to decide whether to undergo irreversible surgery or endoscopic treatment.Thirty patients were enrolled and underwent endoscopic endoloop pre-test treatment. The Primary outcome in this study was measured by the percent reduction in post-procedure GERD symptoms as evidenced by analysis of the GERD-HRQL (Health Related Quality of Life) questionnaire. The secondary outcomes included improvement in esophageal 24-hr pH monitoring, improvement in quality of life questionnaires and safety. Patient follow-up assessments were completed at 7 and 14 days post treatment.
