Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether the improvement in the quality of life after an initial treatment with esomeprazole 40mg for reflux disease is the same in patients who have already made lifestyle-adjustments as in patients who have not implemented lifestyle-adjustments prior to the start of treatment (baseline)
This is a study of Barrett's Esophagus (BE) and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). It aims to look at the long term efficacy of evidence-based cutting edge diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms and techniques such as radiofrequency ablation, endoscopic mucosal resection and surveillance endoscopy with biopsy. Additionally, biological analyses will be performed in hopes of identifying biomarkers associated with the progression of BE to esophageal cancer.
The purpose of this study is to look at the improvement of a once a day dose of esomeprazole for reducing the signs and symptoms of infants with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This research study consists of a screening, open-label, and double-blind treatment withdrawal phase. The screening phase ensures the patient eligibility. No study medication is dispensed during the screening phase. During the open-label phase, patients are administered esomeprazole 2.5mg, 5.0mg or 10.0mg based on his/her weight. During the double-blind phase, the patients are administered either his/her open-label dose or placebo. Double-blind means neither the physician, parent, or patient will know if patient is taking esomeprazole or placebo. The patient will have an equal chance of receiving esomeprazole or placebo.
To compare the efficacy of three different long-term treatment strategies of reflux disease in primary care setting.
The purpose of this study is to assess the difference between esomeprazole and placebo in the treatment of signs and symptoms as observed by 8-hour video and cardiorespiratory monitoring in neonatal patients.
The purpose of this study is to estimate the effect of AZD3355 as an add-on treatment to a Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) on Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms in patients with an incomplete response to PPI treatment.
The purpose of this study is to establish the clinical application of a new device that records pH changes in the hypopharynx. The investigators also aim to compare the consistency of distal esophageal pH with hypopharyngeal pH using both the "short" and the "long" catheters in patients.
The purpose of the study is to demonstrate in patients that oral rabeprazole produces equivalent acid suppression to intravenous pantoprazole on Day 1 of drug administration.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, acceptability, and safety of Axid Oral Solution versus placebo in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in infants age 30 days up to 1 year.
Background/Aim: To evaluate the optimal dosage of rabeprazole for proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) testing of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and to test the influence of cytochrome P (CYP) 2C19 polymorphism in a population with a high prevalence of people who poorly metabolize PPIs. Patients and Methods: In this randomized, open-label trial, patients with symptoms suggestive of GERD were randomized to receive a two-week test with 20-mg or 40-mg rabeprazole after diagnostic endoscopy. Symptom response was assessed with a four-grade daily record; in addition, DNA from peripheral blood leukocytes was genotyped for CYP2C19 polymorphism with polymerase chain reaction-restrict fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique.
