What is being measured

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

  1. To compare the difference in healing rates of erosive esophagitis (EE) between esomeprazole 40 mg qd (E40) and lansoprazole 30 mg qd (L30) in patients with moderate or severe EE, defined as Grade C or D in the Los Angeles (LA) Classification scale.

    Measured: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) at baseline and then week 4 and week 8 (if not healed at week 4)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. 1. To compare the difference in the resolution of, and relief of, the investigator evaluated GERD symptoms of heartburn, acid regurgitation, dysphagia, and epigastric pain between E40 and L30 at week 4 of treatment in patients with moderate or severe EE.

    Measured: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) at baseline and then week 4 and week 8 (if not healed at week 4)

  2. 1. To compare the difference between E40 and L30 in the occurrence of heartburn symptoms as reported in the patient's daily diary.

    Measured: Dairy card to be completed by patient daily

  3. To evaluate safety and tolerability of E40 compared to that of L30 in patients with moderate or severe EE.

    Measured: Adverse event collection on an ongoing basis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Esomeprazole and Lansoprazole in people with Erosive Esophagitis, 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 2 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 Mar 2009. 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?

To compare the difference in healing rates of erosive esophagitis (EE) between esomeprazole 40 mg qd (E40) and lansoprazole 30 mg qd (L30) in patients with moderate or severe EE, defined as Grade C or D in the Los Angeles (LA) Classification scale. (time frame: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) at baseline and then week 4 and week 8 (if not healed at week 4)). 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 26 Mar 2009.
