About this study
Official title: Predictors of Clinical Response to Montelukast in Children With Functional Dyspepsia
Duodenal eosinophilia has been associated with dyspepsia in adults and the investigators have previously described the finding of duodenal mucosal eosinophilia in 71-79% of children undergoing diagnostic endoscopy. Previous studies in children have shown positive response to montelukast with approximately 50% finding complete relief and 20-30 percent showing no response.
There are a number of factors that have the potential to contribute to the observed variability in response to montelukast. These include variability in:
Read more
- systemic drug exposure (drug absorption, biotransformation and/or elimination)
- regulation of leukotriene biosynthesis
- cysteinyl leukotriene receptors and downstream mediators
- patient disease phenotype (e.g. Functional Gastrointestinal Disorder (FGID) disease classification, psychologic profile)
In this study, the investigators propose to utilize biopsy specimens stratified by drug response to identify candidate gene expression modules that will be validated in a prospective study design. The overall goal of this program is to develop a signature of montelukast response that can be applied not only to eosinophilic gastroenteritis, but more generally to other diseases, such as asthma, where the drug is widely used with variable success.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Peds/Adol Pts w/ FD - CMH GI APT clinic | Phase 1. Standard-of-Care Endoscopy to establish baseline data and immunohistochemistry studies. Additional biopsies taken for DNA and microarray analysis. If participant biopsies meet criteria (> or = 20/hpf) and no nodularity or tumors, s/he will be eligible to move to second phase. Phase 2. Standard of care treatment of 3 mg/kg ranitidine bid and 20 mg. montelukast each AM for three weeks. Based on response to global assessment score, participants will be placed in non-responder or responder group. Participants from the responder group will move to final phase of the study. Phase 3: Research endoscopy to measure response to montelukast therapy. Biopsies taken for cell density counts and immunohistochemistry studies. Additional biopsies taken for DNA and microarray analysis. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Identification of a signature of montelukast response using gene expression patterns in biopsy samples from clinical responders and non-responders to montelukast.
Identification of patients who will benefit from montelukast therapy , allowing more efficient, and possibly more effective, care.
Measured: Approximately 7-8 weeks
Secondary outcomes (1)
Characterization a signature of montelukast response using comparison gene expression patterns in biopsy samples obtained before and after montelukast therapy in children with a positive clinical response to the drug.
Identification and development of a signature of montelukast response applied to eosinophilic gastroenteritis, and more generally to other diseases, such as asthma, where the drug is widely used with variable success.
Measured: 7-8 weeks.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Eosinophilia and Dyspepsia, run by Children's Mercy Hospital Kansas City 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 4 inclusion and 7 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 16 May 2019. 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. 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?
Identification of a signature of montelukast response using gene expression patterns in biopsy samples from clinical responders and non-responders to montelukast. (time frame: Approximately 7-8 weeks). 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 NCT02360696, which also lists 41 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 16 May 2019.
