Active clinical trials for "Esophagitis"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of TAK-438 in healthy, non-Japanese men male subjects following a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, sequential panel, multiple-dose schedule.

Eosinophilic Esophagitis(EoE) is a condition characterized commonly by vomiting, nausea, epigastric pain, dysphagia, heartburn and food impaction among other gastrointestinal symptoms along with obstructive esophageal symptoms in both pediatric and adult population. The pathology of this disease is postulated to be allergy mediated and the incidence of this disease is seen to parallel an increase in the incidence of allergies and asthma. Most of the current therapies for EoE are directed at decreasing esophageal allergic inflammation and mirror the treatment options for allergic asthma. Swallowed corticosteroids and elimination diets or elemental diets have shown variable efficacy is improving symptoms. However, specific pathophysiologic mechanism of EoE is still largely unknown and there is no definitive treatment that completely resolves symptoms and histological findings. Omalizumab is a recently developed anti-IgE antibody that has been shown to decrease the use of inhaled and oral corticosteroids and improve asthma related symptoms in patients with allergic asthma. In this study, Eosinophilic esophagitis is being used as a disease model to study the mechanism of action of monoclonal Anti-IgE antibody in vivo. The resolution of symptoms clinically, and histological changes (and improvements) in response to treatment with Xolair (omalizumab) in patients suffering from EoE will be determined. The primary objective of this open label, study is to determine mucosal markers that will predict responders to Omalizumab (Xolair).

The objective of the study was to assess whether the tolerance to the effect of YF476 on gastric pH observed with repeated doses in a previous study in healthy volunteers can be avoided by using smaller doses of YF476.

The objectives of the study were: To compare a single dose of YF476 at 3 dose levels, placebo and ranitidine with respect to their effects on basal- and food- stimulated gastric pH in healthy volunteers. To assess whether there is a relationship between the pharmacokinetics of YF476 and gastric pH in healthy volunteers. To assess the safety and tolerability of single doses of YF476 in healthy volunteers.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of a functional luminal imaging probe to characterize benign esophageal luminal strictures before and after dilation and identify predictors of response to therapy. Patients will be evaluated during endoscopy using functional luminal imaging (EndoFLIP; Crospon Medical Devices, Galway, Ireland) to characterize the geometry of benign luminal esophageal narrowing before and after dilation.

This study aims to demonstrate the noninferiority of DWP14012 to Lansoprazole 15 mg in the maintenance effect of treatment and confirm the safety of DWP14012 in patients with healed erosive esophagitis confirmed on EGD after medication treatment.

Somatostatine induces a dose-dependent reduction of postprandial plasma cholecystokinin (CCK) secretion with a concomitant inhibition of postprandial gallbladder contraction, abolishing almost completely bile salts output from the gallbladder. Somatostatine is also known to decrease acid production with significant increase of intragastric pH. In this way, somatostatine could influence acid as well as non-acid reflux by decreasing gallbladder emptying and decreasing acid secretion. Purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of lanreotide autogel 120 mg on symptoms and endoscopic lesions in patients with an endoscopic gastrointestinal reflux esophagitis that cannot be controlled with classic therapy.

The primary objective of this study is to establish noninferiority of efficacy of DWP14012 (40 mg once daily) based on Timing of Administration.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether dexlansoprazole can be as effective as double dose PPI to achieve SSR in high BMI cases with reflux esophagitis in Los Angeles grades A & B.
