  • TAK-438Drug

    In the treatment period, the participants will receive treatment of TAK-438 20 mg, tablets, orally, once daily for up to 8 weeks.

    In the maintenance treatment period, the participants will receive treatment of TAK-438 10 mg, tablets, orally, once daily and lansoprazole placebo-matching capsules, orally, once daily for up to 24 weeks.

  • TAK-438Drug

    In the treatment period, the participants will receive treatment of TAK-438 20 mg, tablets, orally, once daily for up to 8 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Endoscopically confirmed recurrence rate of erosive esophagitis after 24 weeks of maintenance treatment

    Endoscopic recurrence of erosive esophagitis is defined as those participants who have endoscopically confirmed EE of Grade A to D as defined by the Los Angeles (LA) Classification Grading System. The definitions of each grade are: Grade O (No mucosal break), Grade A (Mucosal break <5 mm), Grade B (Mucosal break ≥5 mm), Grade C (Mucosal break continuous between two or more folds and <75% of the circumference) and Grade D (Mucosal break ≥75% of the circumference).

    Measured: 24 Weeks.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Endoscopically confirmed recurrence rate of erosive esophagitis after 12 weeks of maintenance treatment

    Measured: 12 Weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing TAK-438 and Lansoprazole in people with Erosive Esophagitis, run by Takeda at 37 sites in Japan.

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 4 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 23 Aug 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 37 sites in Japan. 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.

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 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?

Endoscopically confirmed recurrence rate of erosive esophagitis after 24 weeks of maintenance treatment (time frame: 24 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 23 Aug 2013.
