Trial summary

To the best of our knowledge, there has been no randomized controlled trial to compare double dose PPI therapy with standard one dose PPI therapy for NERD patients. Thus, we hypothesize that a double dose PPI would accelerate and sustain the control of symptom in NERD patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Double-dose Rabeprazole Accelerates and Sustains the Control of Symptoms in Patients With NERD: a Randomized Controlled Trial

To the best of our knowledge, there has been no randomized controlled trial to compare double dose PPI therapy with standard one dose PPI therapy for NERD patients. Thus, we hypothesize that a double dose PPI would accelerate and sustain the control of symptom in NERD patients.

Read the detailed description

In Asian, the majority of GERD cases are cases of nonerosive reflux esophagitis(NERD). NERD is a difficult -to-treat acid reflux condition even with PPI compared to reflux esophagitis(RE). In addition, the quality of life of NERD patients is quite low, NERD patients need quicker and more effective treatment options. At present, PPI-based step-down treatment is recommended for GERD patients. Doubling th PPI dose has become a commonly practiced therapeutic strategy in patients with GERD who failed PPI once daily. In patients with symptomatic GERD who failed the one dose PPI can increase the rate of overall symptom improvement by 22-26%. There are various mechanisms for standard dose PPI failure in GERD patients. Esophageal hypersensitivity is likely the underlying mechanism in a significant number of patients. Patients with the sensitive esophagus (normal endoscopy and pH test but positive symptom index) were more likely to respond to PPI twice a day. It is thus of clinical interest to determine whether an increased dosage of PPI can achieve rapidly the control of symptoms for patient with NERD patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. symptom improvement at 2 week after double dose rabeprazole treatment

    symptom improvement according to FSSG(the frequency scale for the symptoms of GERD) at 2 week after double dose rabeprazole treatment

    Measured: Two weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. sustained symptom improvement at 6 week after treatment

    sustained symptom improvement assessed by FSSG(the frequency scale for the symptoms of GERD)score at 6 week after treatment

    Measured: 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing rabeprazole and standard dose rabeprazole in people with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, run by Inje University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 1 inclusion and 11 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 18 Jan 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 South Korea. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

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?

symptom improvement at 2 week after double dose rabeprazole treatment (time frame: Two 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.

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 18 Jan 2012.
