About this study

Official title: Development of an Algorithm for Identification of Responders to Short Term Treatment With Esomeprazole (Nexium) in Primary Care

The primary purpose of the study is to develop, and test, an algorithm for identification of responders to empirical esomeprazole treatment in general practices.

Conditions
GERD
Being tested
Esomeprazole
Keywords
Acid Reflux, Nexium, Esomeprazole
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • EsomeprazoleDrug

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The primary efficacy variable is the patient's key complaint. A patient whose key complaint has been absent for the last 24 hour of the treatment period (2 weeks +/- 2 days) is defined as a PPI responder.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To evaluate the response rate (absence of the key complaint for the last 3 days of the treatment period (2 weeks +/- 2 days)).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Esomeprazole in people with GERD, run by AstraZeneca at 38 sites in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jan 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 38 sites in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The primary efficacy variable is the patient's key complaint. A patient whose key complaint has been absent for the last 24 hour of the treatment period (2 weeks +/- 2 days) is defined as a PPI responder.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00318968, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Jan 2009.
