Trial summary

Backgrounds \& Aims: Proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) test has been proposed as a valuable tool in the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in Western populations. We assumed that a higher prevalence of poor metabolizers in Chinese population might affect the diagnostic accuracy of a PPI test. Read more about this study

About this study

Backgrounds \& Aims: Proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) test has been proposed as a valuable tool in the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in Western populations. We assumed that a higher prevalence of poor metabolizers in Chinese population might affect the diagnostic accuracy of a PPI test.

Methods: In this open-label, randomized trial, patients with symptoms suggestive of GERD were randomly assigned to receive a 2-week test with daily rabeprazole 40-mg or daily pantoprazole 80-mg after diagnostic endoscopy. Therapeutic response was assessed with a five-grade daily record. Genotypes of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 polymorphism were determined.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing rabeprazole and pantoprazole in people with GERD, run by National Taiwan University Hospital.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Dec 2013. 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.

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?

at least 50% reduction of symptoms (time frame: 2 weeks). 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 11 Dec 2013.
