About this study

Official title: The Effect of Dexilant Treatment on Esophageal Hypersensitivity in GERD Related Non Cardiac Chest Pain Patients

The purpose of this study is to investigate a new treatment for non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP) related to gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD), called Dexilant. The investigators would like to test its effectiveness in treating NCCP.

The patient will undergo esophageal balloon distention testing (EBDT) before and after taking the new treatment for one month (Dexilant). EBDT evaluates the sensation and mechanical properties of the esophagus. A catheter with a deflated balloon is placed through the mouth and into the esophagus and the balloon is inflated with water. ECG and labs will be done throughout the study as a measurement of safety.

What is being measured

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

  1. Frequency of chest pain episodes in treatment vs placebo groups

    the number of chest pain episodes during the study

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Intensity of chest pain episodes

    how strong the chest pain episodes are

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Sensory thresholds for first sensation

    the balloon distension level when a sensation is first felt

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. Sensory thresholds for discomfort

    the balloon distension level when discomfort is felt

    Measured: 12 weeks

  4. Sensory thresholds for pain

    the balloon distension level when pain is felt

    Measured: 12 weeks

  5. duration of chest pain episodes

    how long the chest pain episodes last

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Dexilant in people with Chest Pain and Gastrointestinal Reflux Disease, run by University of Iowa 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 6 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jul 2012.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 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Frequency of chest pain episodes in treatment vs placebo groups (time frame: 12 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 11 Jul 2012.
