Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether there is a difference in proportion of patients with resolution of heartburn and other symptoms related to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after four weeks of treatment with esomeprazole (NEXIUM®) in those subjects with Erosive Esophagitis (EE) and those without EE.
This study is a phase III, multi-centre, randomized, double-blind study to assess the safety and tolerability of once daily treatment with esomeprazole 20 or 40 mg in pediatric and adolescent patients 12 to 17 years of age, inclusive, with clinically diagnosed GERD. The treatment period will be up to 8 weeks.
The purpose of the study is to compare the pharmacodynamics (the way a drug works in the body) of rabeprazole and pantoprazole on intragastric acidity and esophageal acid exposure in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) patients with nighttime heartburn. Patients will be given one dose of each medication with a washout period of 6 to 13 days between doses ("washout period" means they will receive no further proton pump inhibitor medication for 6-13 days, allowing the 1st dose to completely leave their bodies). Rabeprazole is approved in the United States for the short-term treatment (4-8 weeks) in the healing and symptomatic relief of erosive or ulcerative GERD with symptoms of daytime or nighttime heartburn, maintenance of healing of erosive or ulcerative GERD, and treatment of symptomatic GERD. The dosage regimen for all GERD indications is 20 mg once a day. Other indications include healing of duodenal ulcers, Helicobacter pylori eradication to reduce the risk of duodenal ulcer recurrence, and treatment of pathological hypersecretory conditions including Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome. The most common side effect of rabeprazole is headache. In clinical trials headache was assessed as possibly related to rabeprazole in 2.4% of subjects vs. 1.6% for placebo. Pantoprazole at a dose of 40 mg once a day is indicated for the short-term treatment (up to 8 weeks) in the healing and symptomatic relief of erosive esophagitis, and the maintenance of healing of erosive esophagitis and reduction in relapse rates of daytime and nighttime heartburn symptoms in patients with GERD. Other indications include pathological hypersecretory conditions including Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome. The most common side effects are headache and diarrhea.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of long-term, "on-demand" maintenance therapy with rabeprazole in patients with non-erosive reflux disease (NERD).
Aim: To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of a therapeutic procedure, involving endoscopic suturing, for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) compared to a sham procedure. The hypotheses tested in this study were that active treatment would: 1) decrease the use of antisecretory medication, 2) decrease GERD symptoms, 3) improve quality of life, and 4) reduce esophageal acid exposure.
The purpose of this study is to determine if 20mg BID of Rabeprazole is effective in controlling GERD in patients with concomitant bronchial asthma and to assess improvement in asthma after reflux control.
The aim of this trial was to characterise the intra and post operative metabolic, endocrine and inflammatory response to laparoscopic fundoplication in children. We are testing the hypothesis that laparoscopic fundoplication is associated with a lack of hypermetabolism and catabolism and blunting of the endocrine/inflammatory stress response
The purpose of the study is to verify superiority of the lafutidine group over the placebo group and non-inferiority to the famotidine group in terms of endoscopic healing rate of the patients with mild reflux oesophagitis. Furthermore, the followings are compared: The improvement effect in heartburn and other subjective symptoms, and dosing frequency of MALFA ® suspension (neutralizer) as well as incidence of adverse events among the lafutidine 20 mg/day treatment group, the famotidine 40 mg/day treatment group and the placebo treatment group in patients with mild reflux oesophagitis.
To look at the safety and improvement in symptoms of a once a day dosing of esomeprazole in children 1 to 11 years old with inflammation of their esophagus or food pipe ("esophagitis") caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and diagnosed by endoscopy. To verify the healing of the esophageal inflammation if the endoscopy reveals cuts in the lining of the food pipe. To collect information that will describe the psychological, social, and economic effects on the primary caregiver of raising children ages 1 to 5 years old with GERD.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of oral and rectal omeprazole treatment in infants with gastroesophageal reflux due to esophageal atresia or congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
