Filter by:The purpose of this study is to exploratorily evaluate the effect of vonoprazan 20 mg on sleep disturbance of patients with reflux esophagitis, who have heartburn and/or regurgitation and ≥ 6.0 in the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) global score despite the maintenance treatment with PPI other than vonoprazan.
The hypothesis of this study is that a gastroesophageal reflux recommended treatment with proton pump inhibitor (dose and duration) compared to placebo significantly reduces both the signs and symptoms of laryngopharyngeal reflux and comorbid chronic rhinosinusitis. Primary objective was to determine whether 8 weeks of treatment with omeprazole 20 mg ones daily (OD) significantly reduces the signs and symptoms of laryngopharyngeal reflux when compared to placebo in patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux with comorbid chronic rhinosinusitis. Secondary objectives were to determine whether 8 weeks of treatment with omeprazole 20 mg OD significantly reduces the signs and symptoms of comorbid chronic rhinosinusitis in patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux when compared to matching placebo; and to investigate the association of the severity of signs and symptoms of laryngopharyngeal reflux with the ones of chronic rhinosinusitis in the same group of patients. The research was carried out as a double blind randomized placebo controlled trial. Patients were randomized into two groups in an approximate 1:1 ratio using a concealed random sequence. After randomization and initial assessment treatment was initialized. Patients on active treatment were given omeprazole 20 mg once daily half an hour before breakfast for 8 weeks, while those in the placebo group were given matching placebo tablets using the same regimen for 8 weeks as the group on the active treatment. Patients were reassessed at the end of treatment for signs and symptoms of laryngopharyngeal reflux and comorbid chronic rhinosinusitis.
Obesity surgery has become commonplace nowadays. This type of surgery is in full swing and although it is mostly beneficial for the health of the patient (reduction of cardiovascular risks, improvement of self image, reduction of osteo-articular risks, etc...) it is however associated with risks. There are several short and long term complications, excluding the ones related to the anesthesia and the post-op recovery: fistulas, abcesses, infections, dysphagia, risks of endobrachyoesophagus, etc... The gastroœsophageal reflux remains by far the most common post-op complaint within patients. Patients can experience symptoms as far as 3 years after the surgery. Medical treatment alone can in most cases lighten the symptoms. However, in some cases, this treatment fails and another type of surgery (bypass) must be undertaken, which is psychologically traumatic for the patient. This retrospective study will analyze a cohort of patients who underwent bariatric surgery (mainly sleeve gastrectomy), in order to identify those at risk of developping gastroœsophageal reflux and how this complication can be avoided in pre-op. The study will also identify cases of invalidating gastroœsophageal reflux that can be solved by obesity surgery.
Primary Objective: Pharmacodynamics: assessment by pH metry of the change in gastric pH (antacid activity) of Z0063, in comparison to the effect of Gaviscon Double Action Tablets, in healthy adult subjects. Secondary Objective: Safety: assessment of the clinical safety of Z0063, and Gaviscon Double Action Tablets, in healthy adult subjects.
The purpose of this study is to find out some potential biomarkers for the Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) in pediatric patients through the prospective clinical characterization and assessment of samples collected during the diagnostic process
Primary Objective: Pharmacodynamics: assessment and comparison by gamma scintigraphy of the gastric retention of alginate rafts (raft performance) of Z0063 to the effect of Gaviscon Double Action Tablets, in healthy adult subjects. Secondary Objective: Safety: assessment of the clinical safety of Z0063 versus Gaviscon Double Action tablets, in healthy adult subjects.
Cardiorespiratory and gastroesophageal reflux events often coexist in infants in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) thus leading to drugs over-prescription and delayed discharge. Through cardiorespiratory and pH-impedance monitoring this study aims to evaluate the temporal association between gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and cardiorespiratory (CR) events in a large number of infants with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and CR symptoms and, whether this association is significant, to clarify the impact of GER on CR events.
The objective of this study is to compare two low profile balloon gastrostomy button enteral feeding devices, both currently used as standard of medical care. The investigators aim to compare family preference and rate of complications between the two devices in a prospective cohort of children. This is the first step in comparing initial and long-term outcomes along with the need for seeking medical advice for gastrostomy site-related complications. The secondary aim of this study is to follow this population long term (4 years) to document the prevalence of: granulation tissue, infection, skin breakdown, and how long the gastrostomy tube balloon remains functional (does not lose water).
It is planned to compare the efficacy and safety of rabeprazole 50 mg DDR (dual delayed release) capsules versus rabeprazole 20 mg enteric coated tablets administered once daily in patients with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).
Aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of vented base bottles on respiration-swallow patterns and on gastroesophageal refluxes in preterm infants with clinical suspect of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In this crossover-randomized study, we compared the effects of standard feeding bottles (A) versus vented base feeding bottles (B) on a group of patients with at least 2 clinical GERD symptoms. 24 hours of synchronized cardiorespiratory (CR) and Esophageal Multichannel intraluminal impedance (MII/pH) monitoring were evaluated for each patient. During this period, patients were fed alternatively with feeding bottle A and B.
