Trial summary

This study bases on the successfully completed project SNF 320000-112006 (EK 1152 and SwissMedic 2005dr2207e) and will document the physiological effects of inhibited gastric secretion on the volume as well as the acidity of gastric secretion by high dose proton pump inhibitors in GERD patients and healthy controls.

About this study

Official title: A Study for Measurement of Gastric Secretion by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Under Inhibition of Gastric Secretion by Proton Pump Inhibitors in Healthy Subjects and Patients With Reflux Disease

This study bases on the successfully completed project SNF 320000-112006 (EK 1152 and SwissMedic 2005dr2207e) and will document the physiological effects of inhibited gastric secretion on the volume as well as the acidity of gastric secretion by high dose proton pump inhibitors in GERD patients and healthy controls. Twelve participants in each group will be studied in a randomized, double-blind placebo controlled trial. A novel non-invasive MRI technique developed in Zurich will assess the volume of gastric secretion following the ingestion of a regular liquid meal. In addition, intragastric / esophageal pH monitoring will assess the link between volume and intragastric distribution of gastric secretion on reflux events and symptoms. In addition, the effect of gastric secretion on outcome parameters of a non-invasive stable isotope breath test for measurement of gastric emptying will be assessed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MRI, non invasive 13C-breath test, 24h-intragastric / esophageal pH monitoring in people with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease and Healthy Volunteers, run by University of Zurich at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 0 inclusion and 9 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 12 Sep 2012. 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 Switzerland. 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.

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?

To assess the volume of gastric secretion in GERD patients and healthy volunteers with and without acid suppression. (time frame: October 2010 - October 2012). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01212614, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 12 Sep 2012.
