About this study

Official title: NOVEL HIGH-RESOLUTION MANOMETRY SCORE FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF GASTRO-ESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE

The goal of this prospective study is to validate a high resolution manometry score to predict pathologic GERD in patients with reflux symptoms. The main question it aims to answer is:

Is it possible to predict GERD on high resolution manometry? Participants will be asked to undergo high resolution manometry and pH-study

Read the detailed description

According to recent guidelines, high resolution manometry (HRM) has an ancillary role in the diagnosis of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). A recent multicenter study demonstrated the effectiveness of the straight leg raise (SLR) maneuver in predicting GERD, thus increasing the diagnostic value of HRM in patients with suspected pathological reflux. HRM parameters associated with GERD include esophageal body hypomotility such as ineffective esophageal motility (IEM), and esophagogastric junction (EGJ) metrics, particularly the EGJ contractile integral (EGJ-CI) that takes into consideration the presence or absence of a hiatal hernia (HH), and a hypotensive lower esophageal sphincter (LES). The combination of these four parameters might help to predict or exclude true GERD in patients undergoing HRM with the suspicion of GERD.

In this multicenter international prospective study, we aimed to build a score to predict pathological esophageal acid exposure time (AET>6%).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High resolution manometry in people with Gastro Esophageal Reflux, run by IRCCS Policlinico S. Donato at 1 site in Italy.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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 9 May 2023. 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 Italy. 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?

HRM score (time frame: From date of inclusion in the study until the diagnosis of GERD, up to 2 months). 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 NCT05851482, which also lists 2 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 9 May 2023.
