Trial summary

Although laryno-pharyngeal reflux (LPR) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) differ in symptoms and treatment, they are diagnosed by the same standard 24-hour pH monitoring system which measures liquid reflux in the esophagus. Read more about this study

About this study

Although laryno-pharyngeal reflux (LPR) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) differ in symptoms and treatment, they are diagnosed by the same standard 24-hour pH monitoring system which measures liquid reflux in the esophagus. The investigators are evaluating a new 24-hour pharyngeal pH monitoring system by Restech which can measure acid exposure in the airway and can be used specifically for LPR diagnosis. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Restech device is more effective than standard pH monitoring in predicting the response to proton pump inhibitor (PPI) acid suppression therapy using Dexlansoprazole in patients with symptoms and/or manifestations of LPR.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • DexlansoprazoleDrug

    Also called Dexilant

    30mg a day, 3 months

What is being measured

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

  1. Ability of Restech to predict LPR symptom improvement after treatment with Dexlansoprazole.

    Successful LPR symptom improvement will be defined as a 25% improvement in Reflux Symptom Index (RSI)after 3 months of Dexlansoprazole.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Comparison between standard pH data and Restech data (normal vs.abnormal acid exposure, using established normative data values) before and after treatment with Dexlansoprazole.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Correlation between Restech acid exposure events and standard pH monitoring acid exposure events.

    Using a method similar to the calculation of a symptom index for each study in each patient, to determine the percentage of time in which a Restech-detected acid event occurs at the same time as an acid event detected on standard pH monitoring.

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Laryngoscopic findings pre and post Dexlansoprazole treatment.

    Expressed as Reflux Finding Score (RFS).

    Measured: 3 months

  4. Differences between RSI and general GERD symptom questionnaire scores on and off Dexlansoprazole.

    Measured: 3 months

  5. Correlation of RSI and general GERD symptom questionnaire scores with Restecha dn standard pH values.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dexlansoprazole in people with Laryngo-pharyngeal Reflux, run by University of Washington 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 3 inclusion and 8 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jul 2017. 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. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Ability of Restech to predict LPR symptom improvement after treatment with Dexlansoprazole. (time frame: 3 months). 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 5 Jul 2017.
