About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study Comparing Clinical Efficacy of One-Week Dual Delayed-Release Dexlansoprazole 60 mg and Esomeprazole 40 mg for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Grade A and B

Rapid onset of proton-pump inhibitors to achieve a fast symptom is an unmet need in treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) but there was no report on the short-term clinical effects and timing to symptom relief comparing dexlansoprazole 60 mg to esomeprazole 40 mg. This pilot study aims to compare the one-week clinical effects of single doses of the two drugs in treating GERD patients.

Read the detailed description

A comparative study to different PPIs in pharmacokinetic change showing that after 12-24 hours post dose, mean percentage of time with pH > 4 and average of mean pH were greater for dexlansoprazole than esomeprazole . However, the study did not report the clinical effect after tablets used. There was no report on the short-term clinical effects and timing to symptom relief of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) between dexlansoprazole 60 mg and esomeprazole 40 mg. Therefore, we conducted a randomized controlled, open-label, study to compare the 7-day clinical effects of single doses of dexlansoprazole 60 mg and esomeprazole 40 mg in for GERD.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of complete symptom resolution (CSR)

    Evaluate the complete symptom resolution by questionnaire

    Measured: 1 week after finishing study drug

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Rate of symptom relapse

    Symptom relapse is defined as (a) two or more episodes of reflux symptoms per week that impair the quality of life

    Measured: 12 weeks after finishing study drug

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Esomeprazole group and Dexlansoprazole group in people with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, run by Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital.

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 1 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 25 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 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 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?

Rate of complete symptom resolution (CSR) (time frame: 1 week after finishing study drug). 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 NCT03128736, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 Apr 2017.
