Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of treatment with once daily oral administration of dexlansoprazole delayed-release capsules in adolescents with erosive esophagitis (EE) and for maintenance of healed EE and relief of heartburn.


Description:

The drug being tested in this study is called dexlansoprazole. Dexlansoprazole is being tested to treat adolescents who have erosive esophagitis and heartburn and maintenance of healing of EE.

The study planned to enroll approximately 60 patients.

The study consisted of 3 periods:

1. Screening ((21 [+5] days)

2. Treatment (8 weeks for healing, 16 weeks for maintenance),

3. Post-Treatment Follow-up (up to 3 months).

During screening, participants used an electronic diary (eDiary) daily to document the presence of daytime and nighttime heartburn symptoms and the degree to which heartburn hurt (hereinafter referred to as severity), and to record their use of rescue medication (antacid).

During the first 8 week treatment period, all participants received dexlansoprazole 60 mg, once daily (QD). At the Week 8 visit, participants underwent endoscopy to assess healing of EE. Participants whose EE had not healed were discontinued from the study.

Participants whose EE had healed were randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of the two treatment groups—which will remain undisclosed to the patient and study doctor during the study (unless there is an urgent medical need):

- dexlansoprazole 30 mg QD

- Placebo (dummy inactive pill) - this is a tablet that looks like the study drug but has no active ingredient

All participants were asked to take one tablet each morning without regard to food throughout the study. Throughout both phases of the Treatment Period, all participants continued to use the eDiary to document the presence or absence and severity of daytime and nighttime heartburn symptoms and the use of rescue medication.

This multi-center trial was conducted worldwide. The overall time to participate in this study was 39 weeks. Participants made multiple visits to the clinic, and were contacted by telephone during the study

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Percentage of Participants Who Experience Each Treatment Emergent Adverse Event Experienced by =5% of Participants During the 8-week Healing Treatment Period An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (eg, a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it is considered related to the drug. A Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) is defined as an Adverse Event (AE) that starts or worsens on or after Study Day 1, and no more than 30 days after the last dose. 8 weeks Yes
Primary Percent of Participants Who Experience Each Treatment Emergent Adverse Event Experienced by =5% of Participants During the 16-week Maintenance Treatment Period An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (eg, a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it is considered related to the drug. A Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) is defined as an Adverse Event (AE) that starts or worsens on or after Study Day 1, and no more than 30 days after the last dose. From Week 8 to Week 24 Yes
Secondary Percentage of Participants With Healing of Erosive Esophagitis (EE) by Week 8 Healing of EE was assessed by endoscopy. 8 weeks No
Secondary Percentage of Participants Who Maintain Healing of EE From Week 8 to Week 24 Percentage of participants who maintain healing of EE from Week 8 to Week 24 among the patients who were healed at Week 8 as assessed by endoscopy. From Week 8 to Week 24 No
Secondary Percent of Days With Neither Daytime Nor Nighttime Heartburn Over the First 8 Weeks of Treatment Percent of days with neither daytime nor nighttime heartburn over the first 8 weeks of treatment as assessed by electronic daily diary. The percent of days with neither daytime or nighttime heartburn = (total number of days that are heartburn free)/(total number of days for which either a daytime or nighttime result is marked) x 100%. 8 weeks No
Secondary Percent of Days With Neither Daytime Nor Nighttime Heartburn Over Weeks 8 to 24 The percent of days with neither daytime nor nighttime heartburn over Weeks 8 to 24 as assessed by electronic daily diary among the participants who were healed at Week 8. The percent of days with neither daytime or nighttime heartburn = (total number of days that are heartburn free)/(total number of days for which either a daytime or nighttime result is marked) x 100%. Weeks 8 to 24 No
