Active clinical trials for "Gastroesophageal Reflux"

Recently, total fundoplication followed by laparoscopic esophageal hiatoplasty has been the most common surgical treatment for gastro-esophageal reflux. Although this procedure is effective, some patients still develop complications. Indeed, dividing the short gastric vessels is claimed by many authors to confer benefit to patients even it could not be proved in other studies. In an attempt to evaluate the role of dividing the short gastric vessels and its long-term impact on the surgical treatment of the gastro-esophageal reflux, the investigators initiated a randomized clinical trial to clarify this important fact. Patients were recruited for this trial and short-term results had been already published in a national journal. The investigators are now registering this study which particularly focuses on the endoscopic outcome evaluated on long-term basis after gastro-esophageal reflux surgical treatment.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of rabeprazole extended release (ER) 50 mg (once daily) versus ranitidine 150 mg (twice daily) in the maintenance of complete healing in subjects with healed erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (eGERD).

The purpose of this research study is to determine if treatment with pantoprazole 40 mg daily versus a placebo improves sleep quality in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Another purpose is to determine if treatment with pantoprazole 40 mg once daily versus a placebo improves sleep outcomes in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease using spectral analysis of sleep electroencephalogram (EEG).

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of Rabeprazole extended release (ER) 50 mg versus Esomeprazole 40 mg for healing and symptomatic relief among subjects with erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of Rabeprazole (RAB) Extended-Release (ER) 50 mg versus Esomeprazole (ESO) 40 mg in subjects with erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (eGERD).

To compare the efficacy of three different long-term treatment strategies of reflux disease in primary care setting.

To evaluate efficacy and safety of treatment with XP19986 Sustained Release (SR) Tablet compared to placebo in subjects with symptomatic GERD

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of daily treatment with Dexlansoprazole modified release (MR) (60 mg or 90 mg once daily [QD]) compared to placebo QD in relief of daytime and nighttime heartburn over 4 weeks in subjects with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

The purpose of this study is to estimate the effect of AZD3355 as an add-on treatment to a Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) on Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms in patients with an incomplete response to PPI treatment.

S-Tenatoprazole-Na (STU-Na), a new drug currently under clinical development, belongs to a class of drugs, called proton pump inhibitors (PPls). Some PPIs are already commercially available. STU-Na will be used for treatment of acid related diseases (gastroduodenal ulcers, erosive or ulcerative esophagitis due to gastroesophageal reflux disease). This study evaluates the degree of acid suppression by different doses of STU-Na. The degree of acid suppression is considered to be correlated with clinical efficacy. In this study four dosages of STU-Na (30 mg, 60 mg, 90 mg, and 120 mg) will be tested in each volunteer. First, one of the dosages will be orally administered for five days. Then, a nine to sixteen day period without study drug administration will follow prior to the administration of the next dosage, for again five days. Each volunteer will have a total of four study drug administration periods. After the last study drug intake in period 1, 2 and 3 pharmacokinetic blood sampling will be done for four days. After the last study drug intake in period 4 pharmacokinetic blood sampling will be done for five days. Pharmacokinetic blood sampling consists of several blood draws over a pre-determined time period. The pharmacokinetic blood sampling measures the medication concentration in the blood at pre-defined time points. After the last study drug intake in period 1, 2, 3, and 4, gastric acidity will be measured for 24 hours by means of a thin tube that will be inserted into the stomach through the nostril to evaluate the efficacy of the different dosages of STU-Na.
