Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Persistent endoscopic reflux in spite of maximal medical therapy with PPI 2 x 40 mg (before breakfast and dinner) and 300 mg of H2 blocker ranitidine (at bedtime).
  • The Los Angeles classification (LA) will be used to evaluate endoscopic reflux. Any distal esophageal ulcer with negative biopsy is also diagnostic for reflux.
  • Persistent reflux is defined as:
  • No reflux complaints but continuing endoscopic lesions and positive impedancemetry.
  • Reflux complaints with continuing endoscopic lesions and positive impedancemetry.
  • Reflux complaints without endoscopic lesions but positive impedancemetry.

Who cannot join

  • Pregnancy or inadequate anticonception, breast feeding.
  • Negative impedancemetry.
  • Diabetes.
  • Placement of a gastric ring for weight loss.

About this study

Somatostatine induces a dose-dependent reduction of postprandial plasma cholecystokinin (CCK) secretion with a concomitant inhibition of postprandial gallbladder contraction, abolishing almost completely bile salts output from the gallbladder. Somatostatine is also known to decrease acid production with significant increase of intragastric pH. In this way, somatostatine could influence acid as well as non-acid reflux by decreasing gallbladder emptying and decreasing acid secretion.

Purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of lanreotide autogel 120 mg on symptoms and endoscopic lesions in patients with an endoscopic gastrointestinal reflux esophagitis that cannot be controlled with classic therapy.

Read the detailed description

Patients presenting with persistent esophagitis on endoscopy while on proton pump inhibitors (PPI) treatment will receive a maximal therapy consisting of 2 x 40 mg of PPI before the meals (morning and evening) and a H2 blocker before bedtime (standard practice). They will be reevaluated endoscopically and clinically 2 months later (standard practice). If reflux persists, objectivized by impedancemetry (standard practice), they will be asked to participate in this study.

Lanreotide autogel 120 mg deep subcutaneously every 4 weeks will be added to the treatment. A total of 3 injections per patient have been foreseen in this proof of concept study.

Patients will be reevaluated clinically after 2, 4 and 8 weeks. At the end of the study a new upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and impedancemetry will be performed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Lanreotide in people with Acid Reflux Esophagitis and Non-acid Reflux Esophagitis, run by Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel at 1 site in Belgium.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Feb 2014. 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 Belgium. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Kim Moubax, Assistent (003224749346 ext. 0032476486103, kimmoubax970@hotmail.com/kim.moubax@uzbrussel.be), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Los Angeles criteria for reflux esophagitis (time frame: 4 weeks after the last injection with lanreotide). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02054637, which also lists 8 linked publications.

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 4 Feb 2014.
