Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of rabeprazole sodium, an inhibitor of gastric acid secretion of the protein pump inhibitor (PPI) class, compared with placebo in the treatment of gastrointestinal esophageal reflux disease (GERD) in infants 1 to 11 months of age.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of arbaclofen placarbil (XP19986) versus placebo as adjunctive therapy in subjects with troublesome GERD symptoms despite therapy with approved doses of a Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI).
The purpose of the study is to determine the applicability and utility of Gerd Q in the diagnosis of GERD and in the assessment of treatment response.
The hypothesis of this study was that gastric bypass (GBP) ameliorates gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in morbidly obese patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of fundoplication in premature infants with GERD and BPD.
The purpose of the study is to provide data on the GERD prevalence as percentage of patients with upper GI symptoms that are identified with GERD using the GerdQ Questionnaire. Furthermore the study aims to estimate GERD prevalence in patients based on their symptoms as they respond to a physician's questionnaire, to observe possible variations between the two methods (physicians' symptom rating and GerdQ), to objectively measure treatment response and to identify the percentage of patients that may require alterations of their treatment. Finally, to describe the impact of GERD symptoms on work productivity.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy, safety and tolerability of rabeprazole extended release (ER) 50 mg with placebo in subjects with symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux disease (sGERD).
The purpose of this study is to define the endoscopic findings of minimal change that is significant to clinical significant reflux esophagitis. Through this, the investigators want to estimate the applicability of minimal change findings of reflux esophagitis to the clinic.
Pancreaticobiliary reflux has been found in patients with cholelithiasis and gallbladder cancer associated with normal pancreaticobiliary union. However, the presence of pancreaticobiliary reflux has not been studied in patients without gallstones (healthy gallbladders). The authors believe that pancreaticobiliary reflux might be a normal phenomenon in patients with and without gallstones, although in patients with cholelithiasis it might constitute a pathological condition associated with dismotility of the biliary tree and the sphincter of Oddi.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common disorder in Asia that includes erosive and non-erosive counterparts. The evaluation of intra-esophageal damage is of paramount importance because patients with erosive and those with non-erosive GERD have distinct manifestations and prognoses. Although proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) is the treatment of choice for erosive patients with excellent therapeutic response, the majority of reflux patients can be classified with non-erosive reflux disease (NERD).Narrow-band imaging (NBI) is a novel, noninvasive optical technique that adjusts reflected light to improve the contrast of capillary patterns compared with conventional illumination. Based on the standard procedure of sequential conventional white-light, NBI, and magnified NBI, the investigators have validated the reliability of the diagnostic testing. The investigators will also enroll NERD patients to test their therapeutic response to rabeprazole. The investigators can find out the best strategy to identify the PPI responder.
