Trial summary

Patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are either treated for 4 weeks with a standard dose (20mg) of omeprazole, a drug of first choice, or by an individualized dosing (20 or 60mg/day) according how fast the patient can metabolize (eliminate) the drug. Read more about this study

About this study

Patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are either treated for 4 weeks with a standard dose (20mg) of omeprazole, a drug of first choice, or by an individualized dosing (20 or 60mg/day) according how fast the patient can metabolize (eliminate) the drug. The individual elimination capacity is genetically controlled and therefore all patients will be genotyped prior to therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing omeprazole in people with Gastroesophageal Reflux, run by Matthias Schwab at 1 site in Germany.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 25 Feb 2014. 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 Germany. 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 was stopped early (reason given: recruitment problems). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

endoscopic healing rate in patients with GERD after 4 weeks of individualised dosing of omeprazole (according to metabolic capacity of the patient) (time frame: 4 weeks). 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 NCT00537732, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 Feb 2014.
