Trial summary

Our primary hypothesis is that the addition of Nexium to Viokase 16 will decrease the chronic abdominal pain in patients with small duct chronic pancreatitis in a superior fashion compared to Viokase 16 plus placebo or to Nexium alone. A secondary hypothesis would be an increase in quality of life. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Single Site, Double Blind, Fixed Dose, Cross Over Study of Viokase 16, Viokase16 Plus Nexium and Nexium Alone in the Reduction of Abdominal Pain in Patients With Chronic Pancreatitis

Our primary hypothesis is that the addition of Nexium to Viokase 16 will decrease the chronic abdominal pain in patients with small duct chronic pancreatitis in a superior fashion compared to Viokase 16 plus placebo or to Nexium alone. A secondary hypothesis would be an increase in quality of life. Our objective is to elucidate the role of Nexium in the control of pancreatic pain, quality of life, and narcotic usage alone or when added to Viokase 16. Our endpoints are the reduction of abdominal pain, decreased pain medication usage, decreased ER visits and decreased hospital admissions for abdominal pain.

Being tested
Nexium (esomeprazole magnesium), Placebo to Nexium, Viokase 16 (pancrelipase) + Nexium, Viokase 16 + placebo to Nexium

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Nexium (esomeprazole magnesium) and Viokase 16 (pancrelipase) + Nexium in people with Chronic Pancreatitis, run by University of Florida at 1 site in United States.

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Feb 2013. 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 United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Feb 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Reduction of Abdominal Pain for Participants Taking Nexium Alone. (time frame: 4 months). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 21 Feb 2013.
