Gastro Esophageal Reflux clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Endoscopic Resection in Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease

RESECT-RGO

Start date: April 10, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Currently patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are treated with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). This long-term PPI treatment would likely increase the risk of pulmonary and digestive infections and would not prevent evolution to adenocarcinoma of Barrett's Esophagus. Surgical fundoplication is generally recommended when symptoms are poorly controlled with PPIs and considered as standard treatment despite celioscopy risk. A variety of endoscopic techniques for the treatment of GERD has been proposed to obtain non-surgical control. These endoscopic techniques aim to bring the tissues closer to the Œsogastric (JOG) junction. But a low response rate has been demonstrated with these techniques. H. Inoue (inventor of the anti-reflux mucosectomy 20 years ago) and his team postulated that the reflux symptoms would be reduced by creating a relative restriction of gastric cardia. The healing of the mucosectomy zone led to restriction of gastric cardia. This observation suggested that ARMS could represent an effective anti-reflux procedure with the advantage that no prostheses would be left in situ. Few studies have evaluated this new endoscopic technique. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of gastric mucosectomy for patients with GERD resistant to medical treatment or requiring long-term maintenance medical treatment.
