About this study

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a very common disease in the Western World. In Taiwan, this disease is increasing gradually because the investigators' eating style is closing to Western world.

Proton pump is the main drug for patients with GERD in the past two decades. Prokinetic agent is an important adjuvant to the therapy of GERD. This study aims to evaluate the role of prokinetic agent in the management of GERD.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, double-blind, cross-over study. FSSG is obtained at the beginning, one month and two months of the study.

This study plans to enroll 100 patients with symptoms of GERD (acid regurgitation, belching, dysphagia). After receiving endoscopic examination, a frequent scale for the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (FSSG) is obtained from these patients. Fifty patients receive lansoprazole 30 mg once plus mosapride 5 mg tid daily in the first month; and lansoprazole 30 mg once plus placebo tid daily in the second month. Another fifty patients receive lansoprazole 30 mg once plus placebo tid daily in the first month; and lansoprazole 30 mg once plus mosapride 5 mg tid daily in the second month.

Being tested
mosapride for the first month and placebo for the 2nd month, placebo for the first and mosapride for the second month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, run by Lotung Poh-Ai Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 6 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 13 May 2009. 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 Taiwan. 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 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?

Symptom improvement evaluated by frequent scale for the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (FSSG) (time frame: before enrollment, one month after treatment, two months after treatment). 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 13 May 2009.
