Filter by:The study is designed to assess and compare the effect of Vecam 40/300, Vecam 20/300 and Omeprazole 20 mg (a standard FDA approved GERD treatment) on the control of gastric pH.
Endoscopic subureteral injection for vesicoureteral reflux has become an established alternative to ureter reimplantation in children. Some recent studies suggest that ESI can be also a primary treatment option for VUR in adults. However, the experience with ESI in adults who have VUR associated with decreased bladder compliance is limited. We evaluated the efficacy of endoscopic subureteral injection treatment for vesicoureteral reflux in adults with decreased bladder compliance.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of ADX10059 in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease who are partial responders to proton pump inhibitors
The purpose of this study is to describe common treatment pathways, to collect health care utilization data and to assess symptom load as well as impact of symptoms on daily life in GERD patients who are partial-responders to PPI treatment.
The purpose of the study is to access the effectiveness and safety of oral rabeprazole in the treatment of acid-related disorders in pediatric patients, focusing specifically on the manifestation of GERD (symptomatic and erosive types).
To describe the change of impact of reflux symptoms on the everyday life perceived by patients before and after 4 weeks treatment by using GERD Impact Scale questionnaire (GIS) by total GERD patient population and by treatment group; and to describe the concordance between patient-reported and physician-reported symptom load.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), with its cardinal symptom, heartburn, is the most common disorder of the esophagus in the West. Comparatively, GERD is less common in Singapore but its frequency in the population is increasing. Although the vast majority of patients with GERD have heartburn and acid regurgitation, GERD can present in atypical ways, including as a non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP). We have previously shown that GERD is a common cause of NCCP in Singapore. Up to 40% of our patients with NCCP had endoscopic esophagitis, abnormal 24-hour pH monitoring results, and/or a positive acid perfusion test. These tests, although diagnostic, are costly, labour intensive, and not always readily available in the primary care setting. A trial of high-dose proton pump inhibitor (e.g. omeprazole 60 mg daily) has been proposed as a simple, safe, non-invasive and reliable means to diagnose GERD in Western patients with NCCP. We have not used the test routinely in our practice. This study will evaluate the use of a short course of esomeprazole, the S-isomer of omeprazole, as a diagnostic test for detecting GERD in patients with NCCP. The hypothesis is that in NCCP patients with GERD, esomeprazole will resolve their symptoms. Consecutive patients diagnosed with NCCP at the National University Hospital, Singapore, will be invited to participate in the study. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to receive either esomeprazole (40 mg o d) for 14 days, or comparable dose of placebo at a similar schedule for 14 days, in a double-blinded fashion. At the start of the study, all subjects will complete a baseline symptom assessment. Symptoms will be scored on a graded scale based on severity. During the study weeks, each patient will record his/her own daily symptoms. The patient will be assessed again after the 14-day treatment. The primary outcome measure will be the change in symptom score after initiation of treatment.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the LINX Reflux Management System in the treatment of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of E3810 tablets in patients with Proton Pump Inhibitor-resistant reflux esophagitis.
This a non-interventional multi-centre study to evaluate the symptom load and management strategies in PPI-treated GERD patients with persistent GERD symptoms..
