Active clinical trials for "Gastroesophageal Reflux"

The purpose of this study is to compare the blood drug levels of two prescribed medications, immediate-release omeprazole 40 mg powder and delayed-release omeprazole 40 mg capsule to determine which drug is better absorbed in patients with a slow stomach emptying (gastroparesis). Delayed-release omeprazole has a protective coating to prevent the drug omeprazole from being neutralized by stomach acid. Immediate-release omeprazole has sodium bicarbonate (antacid) which neutralizes the stomach acid, eliminating the need for a protective coating. Immediate-release omeprazole suspension may have a more rapid pharmacokinetic profile and greater overall drug absorption in gastroparesis.

The purpose of this prospective, multicenter study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic full-thickness plication for the treatment of symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux. Sixty-four patients were enrolled and underwent endoscopic full-thickness plication. All patients received a single implant/plication. No repeat plication procedures were performed. Primary efficacy 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. Secondary efficacy outcomes included post-procedure reduction in anti-secretory therapy, improvement in quality of life questionnaires, reduction in distal esophageal acid exposure, and improvement in esophageal manometry. Patient follow-up assessments were completed at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months post treatment.

The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether eradication treatment of Helicobacter pylori followed by therapy with esomeprazole for a total of 8 weeks extends the time to relapse in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). A relapse is defined by two consecutive symptom scores of the Eraflux questionnaire within 14 days that are equal or above the critical value of 25. The secondary objectives are To compare the time to relapse in the two H. pylori positive study groups with the H. pylori negative control group To compare the pattern of inflammation and atrophy in the two H. pylori positive treatment groups with the naturally H. pylori negative control group at relapse. All the above objectives analyzed for the efficacy subset that is the per-protocol patients broken down by effective H. pylori-eradication. Secondary endpoints will be analyzed by the following parameters and their interactions: Treatment : Eradicated, Non-eradicated, Hp-negative control Esophagitis at study start: grades 0, A/B and C/D Gender Alcohol intake NSAID/ASA intake (for histological results) Trial with medicinal product
