About this study

Official title: COPD Patients Diagnosed With Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease Have Decreased Rates of COPD Exacerbations After Treatment With High Dose Proton Pump Inhibitor Therapy (Esomeprazole or Lansoprazole)

The purpose of this study is to determine which COPD patients have GERD and if COPD patients with GERD treated with high dose lansoprazole for 1 year decreases the frequency of COPD exacerbations compared to the previous year without treatment.

Read the detailed description

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common esophageal disorder with 40% of the US adult population experiencing symptoms monthly. Pulmonary diseases associated with GERD may include pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis, asthma, or chronic bronchitis. The latter may be a manifestation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), suggesting GERD as a risk factor for acute exacerbation of COPD. Acute exacerbations of COPD are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with the disease. Recent work suggests that COPD patients with a minimum of weekly reflux symptoms have an increased number of COPD exacerbations that those who are either asymptomatic or have GERD symptoms less than once a week. On this basis, we theorized that in patients with COPD, who also have gastro esophageal reflux disease are at increase risk for acute exacerbations of COPD. To test this question, we will determine which COPD patients have GERD by 24 hour pH testing, treat their GERD with esomeprazole or lansoprazole for 1 year, and compare the number of COPD exacerbations during the treatment period to the previous year.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 24 hour pH testing in people with Gastroesophageal Reflux and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by University of Florida at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jan 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Jul 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants With Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease One Year After Treatment. (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 18 Jan 2013.
