Filter by:The purpose of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles to determine the safety and tolerability of single and multiple doses of pantoprazole in infants aged 1 through 11 months.
The purpose of this study is to determine the long-term safety profile of daily treatment with dexlansoprazole MR in subjects with gastroesophageal reflux disease.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of esomeprazole 20 mg od versus placebo for the prevention of gastric and/or duodenal ulcers in patients taking low-dose ASA.
The study investigates the efficacy of long-term treatment of esomeprazole compared to anti-reflux surgery in the control of gastroesophageal reflux disease by assessing time to treatment failure.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of Nexium® with placebo in relief of acid related pain or discomfort in the chest.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of daily treatment with Dexlansoprazole modified release (MR) (60 mg or 90 mg once daily [QD]) compared to placebo QD in relief of daytime and nighttime heartburn over 4 weeks in subjects with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of daily treatment with Dexlansoprazole modified release (MR) (60 mg or 90 mg once daily [QD]) compared to placebo QD in relief of daytime and nighttime heartburn over 4 weeks in subjects with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the role of pain modulation in GERD patients who fail to obtain clinical relief with standard dose (once daily) PPI. The study will compare the efficacy of 1) standard dose PPI plus low-dose tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) to, 2) double dose PPI to, 3) standard dose PPI and placebo to determine the relative symptom resolution and health related quality of life in GERD patients who fail standard dose PPI and are randomly assigned to one of these three groups.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a medical condition affecting the stomach and esophagus. GERD occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter does not close properly and stomach contents leaks back (refluxes) into the esophagus. GERD is one of the most common medical disorders, with estimates of up to 50% of adults reporting reflux symptoms daily. Proton pump inhibitors such as pantoprazole can relieve symptoms of GERD in a large proportion of patients. Of particular interest in GERD is the assessment of symptom severity and quality of life, and the response of these parameters to treatment. Therefore, a questionnaire to assess GERD symptoms was developed (ReQuest TradeMark). An important point to consider when using such a questionnaire is to evaluate whether an observed difference in scores after a certain treatment represents a clinical effect. The aim of this study is to determine the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in patients diagnosed with GERD. During the study, the patients will complete a patient-orientated, self-assessed reflux questionnaire (ReQuest TradeMark). Endoscopy will be performed at the start of the study. The study duration consists of a baseline period (1 to 3 weeks) and a treatment period (8 weeks). During the first treatment week, the patients will receive either pantoprazole (tablet) or placebo once daily in the morning; for the following 7 treatment weeks all patients will receive pantoprazole. The study will provide further data on safety and tolerability of pantoprazole.
Determine if different levels of acid-suppression with esomeprazole for 6 months on chosen histological markers of esophageal epithelial acid-related disease in patients with upper GI symptoms.
