Filter by:Administration of esomeprazole 40 mg to subjects who still had heartburn after receiving rabeprazole 20 mg once daily for 4 to 8 weeks will result in statistically significant improvement of heartburn after 8-week treatment.
The purpose of this research study is to determine in heartburn patients with nonerosive disease if detecting the presence of a fragment of the protein e-cadherin in esophageal epithelium or the amount of fragments of e-cadherin in blood can be used to monitor healing of esophagitis treated with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). The hypothesis is that the presence of fragments of e-cadherin in esophageal epithelium or the amount of fragments of e-cadherin in blood can you useful as a biomarker for the healing of esophagitis in patients successfully treated with a PPI.
The purpose of this research study is to learn about whether treating the esophagus with amiloride reduces either the frequency or the time to onset of acid-induced heartburn in patients with nonerosive reflux disease. In particular, we are looking at people who have either had complete relief while using a Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) or who have only had some relief of symptoms while on a PPI.
Patients with nonerosive reflux disease (NERD) are less responsive to standard treatment with proton pump inhibitors. The hypothesis of this study was that nortriptyline in analgesic doses may decrease heartburn perception and its corresponding cortical activity measured by magnetic resonance image. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the cortical representation of heartburn in patients with NERD under treatment with nortriptyline and placebo.
This study will investigate the safety and efficacy of an antacid/Lansoprazole combination product for the relief of heartburn after consuming a heartburn-inducing meal.
This study is being carried out to see whether AZD3355 is an effective treatment as an add-on to PPI therapy in patients with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) with a partial response to PPI and to compare this with Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) treatment alone. Another goal of the study is to examine which of the investigated doses of AZD3355 is optimal for treatment of these patients. This study will also measure levels of drug in the blood and see how well it is tolerated.
This study will determine whether the CT formulation of famotidine taken with and without water is bioequivalent to the FCT formulation. The primary hypothesis is that the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) and the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of a single dose of famotidine 20 mg CT without water are equivalent to a single dose of famotidine 20 mg FCT with water.
A study in 24 healthy subjects to assess the bioequivalence of Famotidine/Antacid EZ Chew tablet taken without water and with water compared to the Famotidine/Antacid tablet taken with water. Subjects will be given a single dose of each treatment separated by 5 to 7 days.
The aim of this project is to compare the GERD clinical outcomes in patients where a structured pathway using the GerdQ questionnaire is implemented compared with the clinical outcomes of those treated without this implementation. This is a European project with 5 participating countries (Austria, Italy, Norway, Spain and Sweden). Due to different characteristics regarding the actual management of this disease in the 5 countries, each country had the flexibility to introduce design differences and changes in the study protocol.
This research study is being done to gather information about how to do further clinical studies using AZD3355 as an add-on treatment to proton pump inhibitors (PPI).
