Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to measure the safety, efficacy and quality of life of lansoprazole in patients with reflux disease over a five year period.

Description:

Lansoprazole is currently approved in Germany for the treatment of erosive reflux esophagitis and active duodenal and gastric ulcer disease, and for long-term treatment including maintenance of healed reflux esophagitis and duodenal ulcer disease and treatment of pathological hypersecretory conditions such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

This study was conducted to evaluate the safety, efficacy and quality of life of patients receiving up to five years of treatment with lansoprazole.
