Trial summary

Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), the most common cause of erosive esophagitis (EE), remains highly prevalent worldwide. GERD poses substantial burden on both patients and society. EE treatment patterns and unmet needs have been well-studied overseas, but evidence gaps still exist in China. Read more about this study

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 Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: The overall analysis population will consist of patients of all ages who were diagnosed with GERD from January 2015 to December 2017.

Who may be able to join

  • Medical records of GERD, NERD and/or EE diagnoses (ICD code scope will be confirmed later)from January 1st, 2015 to December 31st, 2017.
  • oGERD is typically characterized by symptoms of heartburn and acid regurgitation. A diagnosis of EE or NERD can only be confirmed upon endoscopic examination.
  • All ages, males or females
  • A primary diagnosis of GERD/NERD/EE
  • For treatment patterns, patients are also required to have received one episode of treatment during the analysis period.
  • For RW treatment efficacy, the population will be restricted to the EE treatment population who underwent at least two endoscopy examinations.

Who cannot join

  • No exclusion criteria will be applied for investigating diagnosis since all patients diagnosed with GERD, NERD, or EE should be captured regardless of whether they have medical conditions that affect their treatments.
  • A patient will not be eligible for investigating treatment patterns and RW treatment efficacy if he/she has any of the following exclusion criterion:
  • A post-operative diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancers
  • A diagnosis of esophageal foreign bodies or neoplasms
  • A history of gastric or esophageal surgery
  • Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Primary esophageal motility disorders (ex: achalasia)
  • Esophageal strictures
  • Eosinophilic esophagitis
  • Identified as pregnant or lactating
  • Hospitalized (inpatient) patients (to be confirmed by expert.) due to GERD as primary or secondary diagnosis

About this study

Official title: Real-World Analysis on the Diagnosis, Treatment Pattern and Outcomes for Patients With Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) in China

Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), the most common cause of erosive esophagitis (EE), remains highly prevalent worldwide.

GERD poses substantial burden on both patients and society. EE treatment patterns and unmet needs have been well-studied overseas, but evidence gaps still exist in China.

Read more

To fill these evidence gaps, real-world evidence for GERD and EE are needed. To understand GERD market we will analysis :Patient profile,GERD patient journey within hospital (first present, get diagnosed, receive initial and maintenance treatment),medication cost,department differentiation.

To investigate current treatment patterns of GERD / EE in China we will analysis: Current agents used and treatment duration in clinical practice treatment patterns by different reimbursement status treatment pattern by EE/NERD.

To get healing rate of EE we will analysis: Real-world efficacy of the current standard treatment (i.e. PPIs) for patient with two test results of gastroscopy.

The data required for this project are accessible in hospital electronic system; no specific data collection tools or methods are required for this project design. Only algorithms for retrieving and extracting eligible patients' records are required and will be developed by HLT based on the eligibility criteria defined in this protocol.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • this is non-intervention study, there is no intervention drug or device in this study.Other

    this is exactly a non-interventional study, no intervention during the whole study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of GERD patients with an EE diagnosis confirmed by physician judgment vs. endoscopy

    oAnalysis can be stratified by age group, sex, and health plan type to investigate possible differences in diagnostic practices based on these related patient characteristics.

    Measured: oOnly patients diagnosed between January 1st, 2015 and October 31st, 2017 will be included to allow for at least an 8-week observational period.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Similarly, descriptive statistics will also be presented for secondary endpoints as the analysis further examines treatment use and proxy indicators assessing real-world treatment efficacy.

    Proportion of EE patients and NERD patients by treatment use

    Measured: Only patients diagnosed between January 1st, 2015 and October 31st, 2017 will be included to allow for at least an 8-week observational period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastro-esophageal Reflux Disease, run by Tianjin Happy Life Technology Co., Ltd. at 1 site in China.

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 11 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 31 Jan 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 China. 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?

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Proportion of GERD patients with an EE diagnosis confirmed by physician judgment vs. endoscopy (time frame: oOnly patients diagnosed between January 1st, 2015 and October 31st, 2017 will be included to allow for at least an 8-week observational period.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 31 Jan 2019.
