Filter by:This is a longitudinal observational study on patients with gastrointestinal and related disease. The study will be conducted for at least 10 years, following each participant over time, as they either go through relapses and remissions, or progression of their disease.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of the procedure (sleeve gastrectomy technique with a Nissen fundoplication (N-Sleeve) vs conventional sleeve gastrectomy technique
Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a commonly encountered disorder in daily practice. Proton pump inhibitor therapy has been the cornerstone of treatment for decades. Although it has been proven to be highly effective, there is still room for improvement. A local study showed that only 57.3% of subjects are asymptomatic after 4 weeks treatment with rabeprazole. Recently a new drug was developed with better absorption, higher bioavailability, more sustained increased pH in the stomach and more targeted action to the H-K ATPase pump. Vonoprazan, belongs to a new class of acid suppressant medications, the potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB). Vonoprazan has been studied and used successfully in Japan for H pylori eradication therapy, GERD, gastric and duodenal ulcers with favorable safety profile. However, to the author's knowledge, no study yet exists comparing vonoprazan to a proton pump inhibitor in the treatment of GERD outside Japan. This study aims to determine whether vonoprazan is superior to omeprazole in relieving symptoms in treatment-naïve adult patients with GERD.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of IW-3718 administered to patients with GERD who continue to have persistent symptoms, such as heartburn and regurgitation, while receiving once-daily (QD), standard-dose PPIs.
This is a 2-arm, prospective, double-blind double-dummy, randomized-controlled study comparing DLBS2411 at a dose of 250 mg twice daily with omeprazole at a dose of 20 mg twice daily, given before morning and evening meals, for an 8-week course of therapy. Subjects should avoid taking meals 2-3 hours before bedtime. The bioactive fraction of DLBS2411 has been proved at cellular and genetic levels to have an antiulcer effect through both suppressing the gastric acidity and enhancing gastric mucosal protection. The anti-secretory effect of DLBS2411 is exerted through the inhibition of H+/K+ ATPase 'pump' as well as down-regulation of the H+/K+ ATPase gene expression, thus suppressing gastric acid secretion; while its cytoprotective defense mechanism works through the promotion of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) derived prostaglandin (PgE2) synthesis, thus promoting gastrointestinal submucosal blood-flow, stimulating secretion of gastric-epithelial mucous and bicarbonate; anti-oxidative activity; and endothelial-nitric oxide (NO) formation. Recent study of DLBS2411 which was conducted in healthy volunteers, demonstrated the effective role and safety of DLBS2411 in suppressing intragastric acidity. Having such mechanisms of action, DLBS2411 is hypothesized to benefit patients with gastric acid disorders such as in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the LINX device in patients who have previously undergone laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) for obesity and have chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The study will monitor safety and changes in reflux symptoms.
The purpose of this investigation is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES) Stimulation System in treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This investigation is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled study. After the implant procedure, subjects will be randomized to either the Treatment Group (immediate stimulation) or Control Group (delayed stimulation) for six months followed by an additional open-label phase in which all subjects will receive electrical stimulation. Subjects continue on stimulation treatment in an extended open-label follow-up phase through 5 years post-stimulation.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a frequently seen entity after sleeve gastrectomy. Management of GERD after sleeve is difficult given limited treatment modalities. Stretta is an endoscopic FDA approved device that improves symptoms of GERD, there is minimal information about its use on patients after sleeve. This registry will attempt to get information regarding the treatment of reflux using Stretta after sleeve gastrectomy.
The investigational device that will be used in this trial is the EndoStim® Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES) Stimulation System. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and the effectiveness of electrical stimulation therapy (EST) on the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) in the treatment of subjects with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The study population will consist of subjects diagnosed with pathological GERD as defined by abnormal pH and who complain of heartburn, regurgitation or both for > 6 months, on a daily PPI use.
To provide a research tool enabling physicians to monitor long term clinical outcomes for patients undergoing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) treatment with EndoStim LES Stimulation System.
