What is being measured

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

  1. Change in overall symptom severity from baseline (day 0) to day 14 between the two study arms

    The primary endpoint is the change in the score of a visual analog scale (VAS) (from "no symptoms" to "overwhelming symptoms") used for evaluating overall symptom severity from baseline (day 0) to day 14 after treatment initiation, between the two study arms. A decrease in VAS score of at least 30% is considered as a clinically meaningful improvement, and therefore subjects achieving a decrease ≥30% in this scale will be considered as responders. The non-inferiority is considered demonstrated if the 95% confidence interval of the difference in the percentage of responders between both study arms lies within the non-inferior margin value defined of 20%.

    Measured: Day 0 and Day 14

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Responders from baseline to day 3 and day 7

    Percentage of responder patients (VAS score decrease of at least 30%) on the basis of the mean change in the overall symptom severity assessed by the VAS score from baseline to day 3 and day 7 in both study arms

    Measured: Day 0, Day 3 and Day 7

  2. Self-assessment severity of individual specific symtoms

    Comparison between Mipolixin® and Poliprotect® in the mean change of the score of the self-assessed severity of individual specific symtoms (bothersome postprandial fullness, bothersome early satiation, bothersome epigastric pain, bothersome epigastric burning, and bothersome heartburn) rated on a 100 mm VAS (from "no symptoms" to "overwhelming symptoms") from baseline to 1 3, 7 and 14 days after treatment initiation.

    Measured: Day 0, Day 1, Day 3, Day 7 and Day 14

  3. Change in the score of GOS scale from baseline to day 1

    Change in the score of GOS ( Global Overall Symptom) scale from baseline to day 14 in both study arms. A decrease in GOS score ≥2 is considered as a clinically meaningful improvement, and therefore subjects achieving a decrease in overall severity score ≥2 from baseline in this scale will be considered as responders.

    Measured: Day 0 and Day 14

  4. Incidence of AEs during study treatment

    Incidence and type of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) reported during study treatment.

    Measured: Day 0 to Day 14

  5. Incidence of AEs and clinical findings during study period

    Safety will be assessed on the basis of all AEs experienced during study treatment and all observed and volunteered AEs and abnormal findings on physical examination, including vital signs throughout the study.

    Measured: Day 0 to Day 28

  6. Patient satisfaction (treatment administration)

    Patient level of satisfaction in terms of treatment administration/posology will be assessed by means of specific questions about patient level of satisfaction after the 2-week treatment period. The response will be scored on a 4-point Likert scale from 0 to 4, as follows: 1 = "very satisfied", 2 = "quite satisfied", 3 = "somewhat satisfied", 4 = "not satisfied".

    Measured: Day 3, Day 7 and Day 14

  7. Patient satisfaction (taste)

    Patient level of satisfaction in terms of chewable tablets taste will be assessed by means of specific questions about patient level of satisfaction after the 2-week treatment period. The response will be scored on a 4-point Likert scale from 0 to 4, as follows: 1 = "very satisfied", 2 = "quite satisfied", 3 = "somewhat satisfied", 4 = "not satisfied".

    Measured: Day 3, Day 7 and Day 14

  8. Treatment compliance

    Treatment compliance will be evaluated by performing the IP accountability. This data will be corroborated with the information recorded in the patient diary concerning the daily administered and missed doses.

    Measured: Day 0 to Day 14

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Mipolixin® and Poliprotect® in people with Dyspepsia and Heartburn, run by Aboca Spa Societa' Agricola at 11 sites in Spain.

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 9 inclusion and 25 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 26 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in Spain. 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?

Change in overall symptom severity from baseline (day 0) to day 14 between the two study arms (time frame: Day 0 and Day 14). 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 26 May 2021.
