Active clinical trials for "Gastroesophageal Reflux"

We will estimate the responses of lansoprazole and ecabet sodium combination therapy and compare with lansoprazole and placebo therapy in patients who need additional therapy after standard proton pump inhibitor treatment for 4week or more in recurrent gastroesophageal reflux disease.

To evaluate the clinical outcomes of treatment with oral pantoprazole in children 1 through 5 years of age with endoscopically proven symptomatic GERD.

Patients with nonerosive reflux disease (NERD) are less responsive to standard treatment with proton pump inhibitors. The hypothesis of this study was that nortriptyline in analgesic doses may decrease heartburn perception and its corresponding cortical activity measured by magnetic resonance image. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the cortical representation of heartburn in patients with NERD under treatment with nortriptyline and placebo.

Although nasal polyposis has been recognized as an inflammatory process for many years, the true etiology of nasal polyposis mainly unknown. Despite surgical removal, the recurrence rate after surgery has been reported as high as 87% within the first year after surgery. Anecdotally the Principal Investigator found an incidence of pH probe-proven laryngopharyngeal reflux approaching 80% in his patients with nasal polyposis. Although his number of cases was small, the incidence of recurrence of polyps in these patients was 17%. The PI believes that such an association is too great to be explained by chance alone, and deserves further study. He anticipates two contributions to the literature from this study, the first documenting the incidence of extraesophageal (laryngopharyngeal) reflux in patients with polyposis, and the second showing the impact of reflux treatment on the recurrence rate of the polyps, initially after one year of therapy.

The purpose of this study is to measure the in-vivo disintegration time of a single dexlansoprazole delayed-release orally disintegrating (OD) tablet.

Administration of esomeprazole 20 mg to subjects who still had heartburn after receiving rabeprazole 10 mg once daily for at least 4 weeks will result in statistically significant improvement of heartburn after 8-week treatment.

The purpose of this project is to learn more about a new and promising way to diagnose acid reflux disease using a very high-powered microscope. This special microscope provides much finer detail than typical microscopes previously used for diagnosing reflux, and may help doctors to better identify children with acid reflux.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a very common disease in the Western World. In Taiwan, this disease is increasing gradually because the investigators' eating style is closing to Western world. Proton pump is the main drug for patients with GERD in the past two decades. Prokinetic agent is an important adjuvant to the therapy of GERD. This study aims to evaluate the role of prokinetic agent in the management of GERD.

The purpose of this study is to assess how patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (heartburn) who are currently receiving treatment with a proton pump inhibitor but are still experiencing symptoms will benefit from a change in treatment.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate pharmacodynamic comparability between the pantoprazole spheroid formulation and the marketed tablet formulation.
