About this study

Official title: Practice and Patient Compliance on the PPI(Proton Pump Inhibitors) Treatment of Gastroesophageal Reflux in South Korea: A Prospective Observational Study

The purpose of this study is to examine the treatment profile of approximately 1,000 adult patients with gastroesophageal reflux who begin raberpazole sodium treatment for 4 months, and assess patients' adherence to the study drug.

Read the detailed description

This study is a multicenter, open-labeled, prospective, phase IV, observational study for patients visiting the gastroenterology department. The purpose of this study is to examine the treatment profile of approximately 1,000 adult patients with gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) who begin raberpazole sodium treatment for 4 months and assess patients' adherence to the study drug. The primary objective is to examine the treatment profile of gastroesophageal reflux in the secondary or tertiary clinical center. The secondary objective is to examine GERD patients' adherence to the study drug (rabeprazole sodium) during the treatment period. Of the patients who visit the study centers and complain about gastroesophageal reflux symptoms during the study period, those who are deemed to need rabeprazole sodium administration at the investigator's discretion will be considered for this study. The main outcome measures are the patterns of gastroesophageal reflux management (eg. treatment duration of initial therapy etc) and the compliance of proton pump inhibitor treatment.The compliance data (number of tablets taken) will be calculated at the clinical visit by counting the number of dispensed tablets that are remaining. Also, investigators will observe the gastroesophageal reflux symptom free rate at the end of initial therapy, gastrointestinal (GI) symptom relief and safety information at each visit. Study period is up to 4 months. During the study, no standardized treatment is stipulated, and patients may receive any treatment considered by their physicians. Rabeprazole sodium 10 mg - 20 mg tablet once daily for 4months.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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?

GERD Symptom improvement (time frame: 4 weeks, 16 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.
