What is being measured

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

  1. The maximal acid output (MAO) during pentagastrin stimulation after 10 days administration of 40 mg esomeprazole for both study periods.

    Measured: MAO will be assessed after 10 days of treatment (Day 11 or Day 20)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Basal acid output (BAO) after 10 days administration of 40 mg esomeprazole for both study periods. (Day 11 or Day 20)

    Measured: BAO will be assessed after 10 days of treatment

  2. To compare MAO when switching (after Day 2 in the second study period versus after Day 10 in the first study period) from oral to intravenous dosing and from intravenous to oral dosing.

    Measured: Assessments at Day 2 and after Day 10 (Day 11 or Day 20)

  3. To evaluate the safety of intravenous esomeprazole in subjects with symptoms of GERD.

    Measured: Safety assessments throughout the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Esomeprazole in people with GERD, run by AstraZeneca.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jan 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 maximal acid output (MAO) during pentagastrin stimulation after 10 days administration of 40 mg esomeprazole for both study periods. (time frame: MAO will be assessed after 10 days of treatment (Day 11 or Day 20)). 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 25 Jan 2011.
