About this study

Official title: Diagnostic of Transient Lower Esophageal Sphincter Relaxation With Combined Impedance and High Resolution Manometry in Patients With GERD.

The aim of this study is to establish and validate High resolution manometry (HRM) criteria for the definition of transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations (tLESRs) in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) patients.

Read the detailed description

tLESRs represent the main mechanism of all types of reflux events. Inhibition of transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations (tLESRs) has become one of the most relevant therapeutic objectives in patients with reflux symptoms resistant to proton pump inhibitors. HRM is the gold standard for detecting and characterizing tLESR, and could be considered as part of the pharmacological evaluation of new drugs targeting tLESRs. HRM criteria for the objective definition of tLESRs in GERD patients have to be established, as it has been done in healthy patients Subjects will undergo impedance / manometry recording with solid-state catheter systems, during a 30-min fasting and a 2-hour postprandial periods.

What is being measured

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

  1. tLESRs characteristics

    To characterize tLESRs defined according following criteria:

    • LES basal pressure (mmHg) defined as LES pressure during relaxation
    • LES minimum pressure during relaxation
    • Duration of the LES relaxation (seconds)
    • Integrated relaxation pressure (4 seconds)

    Measured: Inclusion (Day 0)

  2. Reflux underlying mechanisms

    To detect every reflux and to determine underlying mechanisms

    • Transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations (tLESR)
    • Low basal LES pressure (free reflux)
    • Increased abdominal pressure
    • Swallow
    • Another mechanism

    Measured: Inclusion (Day 0)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High resolution manometry in people with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, run by University Hospital, Bordeaux at 3 sites in France.

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 8 inclusion and 5 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 2 Jul 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in France. 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?

tLESRs characteristics (time frame: Inclusion (Day 0)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 2 Jul 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
