Active clinical trials for "Gastroesophageal Reflux"

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a new thickened formula on regurgitation

This is a randomized, open-label, two-way crossover study to investigate the pharmacodynamics(24 hour gastric pH) and the safety between repeated doses of CDFR0209 and Losec in Healthy Male Volunteers

BACKGROUND: Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a very frequent clinical condition and nocturnal symptoms are a cause of quality of life impairment, poor sleep quality and absenteeism. Head of bed elevation, as a low-cost non pharmacologic anti-reflux treatment is nowadays recommended, but its clinical impact in patients with nocturnal symptoms remains unknown due to inconsistent results and methodological limitations among different clinical trials, most of which were performed before the widespread use of proton pump inhibitors in clinical practice. HYPOTHESIS: Head of bed elevation is a useful treatment for patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease and nocturnal symptoms, and has a positive impact in quality of life in these patients. STUDY OBJECTIVE: To assess the effectiveness of head of bed elevation for treatment of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease and nocturnal symptoms, and to determine the impact of this intervention in quality of life of these patients. METHODS: Randomized single-blind single-centre controlled clinical trial with a 2x2 cross-over design. A sample of 42 patients attending to the outpatient gastroenterology unit at Clínica Fundadores in Bogotá city, who met the inclusion criteria and had no exclusion criteria were selected to participate. Included patients were randomized to raise the head of bed with standard 20 cm-height wooden blocks or to sleep without bed inclination during the first 6 week period. After a 2 week washout period, allocation was crossed and participants were followed again during a second 6 week period. During the trial, every patient received standard pharmacological treatment with a proton pump inhibitor and/or sodium alginate. After allocation concealment, the researchers in charge of statistical analysis and reporting results were blinded for the non pharmacological intervention under study. Primary outcome was a significant symptom change according to Reflux Disease Questionnaire (RDQ) validated form. Secondary outcomes include impact on quality of life according to Short Form 36 (SF-36) validated questionnaire, patient preference and adverse events of non-pharmacological intervention. Statistical analysis was carried out with STATA 13.0 (Special Edition) for Windows. Differences with a p<0,05 were accepted as statistically significant.

It is planned to investigate the effect of dexrabeprazole on gastric acid primarily, and then gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms, intraesophageal acidity (reflux) and impedance kinetics.

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and dose-response relationship of IW-3718 administered orally to participants who have GERD and continue to experience GERD symptoms while receiving once-daily (QD), standard-dose proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).

About 60% of patients with typical gastroesophageal reflux symptoms such as heartburn and regurgitation are considered to have non-erosive reflux disease (NERD). Patients with NERD show an overall poorer response to PPI treatment than patients with erosive reflux disease. Sodium alginate oral suspension is a medication indicated for the relief of gastroesophageal reflux symptoms. This multi-center, double blind, randomized trial aims to compare the efficacy and safety profiles of sodium alginate oral suspension (50 mg/ml) 20 ml three times daily with that of omeprazole (20 mg/capsule) 1 capsule once daily for the treatment of NERD patients in Taiwan. Efficacy assessments include percentage of patients achieving adequate relief of heartburn or regurgitation after 4 weeks treatment, improvement of reflux symptoms as assessed by reflux disease questionnaire before and after treatment, and patients overall satisfaction at the end of study. Safety assessments include incidence of adverse events and change of the laboratory test results. The study hypothesis is that treatment with sodium alginate is non-inferior to omeprazole in relieving heartburn or regurgitation symptoms of the NERD patients.

The objective of this study is to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and efficacy of repeated once daily oral administration of D961H 10 mg and D961H 20 mg in Japanese paediatric patients aged 1 to 14 years old who either have a diagnosis of or are suspected to have gastric ulcer (GU), duodenal ulcer (DU), anastomotic ulcer (AU), non-erosive reflux esophagitis disease (NERD), reflux esophagitis (RE) or Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the LINX device in patients who have previously undergone laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) for obesity and have chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The study will monitor safety and changes in reflux symptoms.

This study is to investigate the optimal clinical dose and administration methods of YH4808 in patients with reflux esophagitis by evaluating the safety and efficacy after YH4808 oral administration.

The investigators purposes are to define the prevalence of omeprazole resistance gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in systemic sclerosis (SSc), to compare the efficacy of omeprazole in combination with algycon versus omeprazole in combination with domperidone on the severity of reflux symptoms in omeprazole resistant GERD in SSc, and to compare the efficacy of omeprazole in combination with algycon versus omeprazole in combination with domperidone on the frequency of symptoms in omeprazole- resistant GERD in SSc.
