What is being measured

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

  1. Symptom Control Rate at 24 Weeks Assessed by Gerd Q Questionnaire.

    GerdQ Scores ranging from 0 to 3 were applied for the positive predictors and from 3 to 0 (reversed order, where 3 = none) for negative predictors. The GerdQ score was calculated as the sum of these scores, giving a total score ranging from 0 to 18. When GerdQ ≥8, the patients could be symptom based diagnosed as GERD. GerdQ was consisted of 3 categories: A, B and C. Each category has two questions with sum of score ranging from 0 to 6. Symptom controlled was defined as patients with all items ≤1 in A and C category of GerdQ.

    Measured: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. The Success Rate in Whole Study Duration.

    Success is defined as patients with symptom relief after 8 weeks or 2 weeks esomeprazole treatment, and also get symptom controlled during maintenance treatment / follow-up period.

    Measured: 24 weeks after end of treatment

  2. Time to First Relapse.

    Time to first relapse is from the last dose during the treatment period to date of first time patient comes to the investigator due to symptom recure and need for treatment.

    Time to first relapse is actually the time when 50% of patients had relapse. Up to the end of study, there were less than 50% of the patients in arm esomeprazole 2 weeks group had relapse so was unable to compute this endpoint

    Measured: From baseline to 24 weeks after end of treatment

  3. Symptom Relief Rate in 2 Treatment Regimens.

    Symptom relief is defined as no more than 1 day of mild symptoms of GERD during previous 7 days after 8 weeks or 2 weeks of treatment.

    Measured: 8 weeks for arm 1, 2 weeks for arm 2

  4. Symptom Relief Rate After 2 Weeks and 8 Weeks in 8 Weeks Treatment Group.

    Symptom relief is defined as no more than 1 day of mild symptoms of GERD during previous 7 days after 8 weeks or 2 weeks of treatment.

    Measured: 2 and 8 weeks

  5. Number of Patients With Unscheduled Hospital Visit(s)

    Measured: from baseline to week 24 after end of treatment

  6. Percentage of Patients Satisfaction

    Satisfied - satisfaction score of 1-4 while very satisfied - satisfaction score of 1-2.

    Measured: 24 weeks after end of treatment

  7. Symptom Control Rate at 8 Weeks Assessed by Gerd Q Questionnaire

    GerdQ Scores ranging from 0 to 3 were applied for the positive predictors and from 3 to 0 (reversed order, where 3 = none) for negative predictors. The GerdQ score was calculated as the sum of these scores, giving a total score ranging from 0 to 18. When GerdQ ≥8, the patients could be symptom based diagnosed as GERD. GerdQ was consisted of 3 categories: A, B and C. Each category has two questions with sum of score ranging from 0 to 6. Symptom controlled was defined as patients with all items ≤1 in A and C category of GerdQ.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  8. Symptom Control Rate at 16 Weeks Assessed by Gerd Q Questionnaire

    GerdQ Scores ranging from 0 to 3 were applied for the positive predictors and from 3 to 0 (reversed order, where 3 = none) for negative predictors. The GerdQ score was calculated as the sum of these scores, giving a total score ranging from 0 to 18. When GerdQ ≥8, the patients could be symptom based diagnosed as GERD. GerdQ was consisted of 3 categories: A, B and C. Each category has two questions with sum of score ranging from 0 to 6. Symptom controlled was defined as patients with all items ≤1 in A and C category of GerdQ.

    Measured: 16 weeks

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.
