Filter by:Clinical Trial to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of YYD601 in NERD Patients
This is one multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo controlled Phase III clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LXI-15028 50 mg in treatment of non-erosive reflux disease in Chinese patients for 4 weeks. Screening-eligible subjects will be randomized into LXI-15028 50mg group or placebo group at Visit 2 (Day 0) according to the ratio of 1:1 and receive study treatment for 4 weeks. They will start to take the investigational products in the following morning of Visit 2 (Day 1) and start to complete the subject's diary from the day of study treatment initiation. After 2 weeks of study treatment, subjects will return to the study site and complete Visit 3, after which receive study treatment for another 2 weeks and then complete Visit 4. On the day of Visit 4, subjects will not take any drug. All the subjects will be followed up by phone (Visit 5) at Day 28±3 after the last dose of study medication.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ilaprazole 20 mg in patients with non-erosive reflux disease. This study intends to demonstrate the clinical superiority of Ilaprazole 20 mg to placebo administered once daily for 4 weeks.
White light endoscopy remains the gold standard technique to evaluate gastrointestinal tract. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is defined as presence of reflux symptoms (heartburn and regurgitation) associated or not with lesions in esophageal mucosa. Based on findings at videoendoscopy GERD patients can have a complicated reflux disease (erosive esophagitis) or not and be considered as a non erosive reflux disease (NERD). 60% of GERD patients have normal endoscopy (NERD) and requires further studies to achieve a definitive diagnosis. Based on this fact is that the study will be focus on NERD patients. Recently an image-enhanced endoscopic technology using a pre-processor band-limited light called Optical Enhancement system (OE system™), was developed (Pentax Medical). This new technology combines digital signal processing with optical filters that limit the spectral characteristics of the illumination light. The new innovated optical filters achieve higher overall transmittance by connecting the peaks of the hemoglobin absorption spectrum (415 nm, 540 nm and 570 nm) creating a continuous wavelength spectrum. There are two modes with different OE filters (Mode 1 and Mode 2). Mode 1 is designed to improve visualization of microvessels with a sufficient amount of light, and Mode 2 is designed to improve contrast of white-light observation by bringing the color tone of the overall image closer to that of natural color. In addition, new scopes has been developed which combines high definition images with optical magnification called Magniview™. These scopes increase the image up to 136 times with a better quality of image than standard scopes without optical zoom. Sharma et al. evaluated esophageal changes in NERD patients using a similar pre-processor filter called Narrow Band Imaging (NBI). They found that a significantly higher proportion of patients with NERD had an increased number, dilation and tortuosity of the microscopic intrapapillary capillary loops (IPCLs), and were considered the best predictors for diagnosing NERD. They used optical chromoendoscopy technology (NBI) associated to magnification scopes (Olympus GIF Q240Z, 115x), but they did not evaluated if the contribution with this technology to the observations found in GERD patients were as a result of the NBI or the magnification scopes. The investigators opinion is that chromoendoscopy is useful but is the magnification what makes up the difference.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the superiority of efficacy of CJ-12420, once daily (QD), compared to placebo in patients with non-erosive reflux disease at Week 4
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a common chronic disorder in the veteran population, is associated with drug costs exceeding $ 10 billion/year. Only 30-40% of patients with reflux symptoms have erosive esophagitis. The vast majority suffers from non erosive reflux disease (NERD), a condition in which standard endoscopy fails to identify any mucosal breaks and is unable to confirm the diagnosis. Unfortunately, a gold standard for the diagnosis of NERD does not exist. Narrow band imaging (NBI) utilizes spectral narrow band filters (incorporated into standard endoscopes) and helps to see abnormal areas not identified during standard endoscopy. Preliminary results have shown that NBI endoscopy may represent a significant improvement over standard endoscopy for the diagnosis of NERD. The purpose of this study is to accurately diagnosis non acid reflux disease by using a blue light (also known as NBI)upper endoscopy technique.
Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) is widely used in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), however, some patients fail to respond to PPI therapy. Recent reporters suggest that depressive disorders, anxiety, sleep dysfunction were related with the symptomatic responses to a PPI treatments. Nevertheless, the predictive factors of response to PPI treatment still remain controversial. Therefore, the aims of this study were to investigate the efficacy of PPI therapy, and to evaluate the predictors of the PPI response in patients with symptomatic GERD by using the questionnaire which consisted of GERD symptoms, GERD impact scale (GIS), Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), Hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS), and WHO quality of life scale abbreviated version (WHOQOL-BREF).
Randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, multi-center phase 2 clinical trial to investigate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of YH1885L in patients with non-erosive reflux disease(NERD)
Study design and objective The primary outcome of this prospective cohort study was to identify the endoscopic findings that have diagnostic value for the prediction of NERD (minimal change esophagitis) by using HD endoscopy with i-scan. The secondary outcome was to evaluate the response to proton pump inhibitor (PPI) in GERD patients with or without minimal change esophagitis.
Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) is highly prevalent, affecting up to 20% of the adult population in North America. Up to 70% of GERD patients have non-erosive reflux disease (NERD), a term used to describe symptoms suggestive of GERD in patients with no endoscopic evidence of erosive esophagitis. NERD represents a heterogeneous group of patients whom are sub classified according to 24 hours-PH monitoring results and also symptom-acid association analysis(Symptom Index,SI). Treatment of NERD can be a challenge for clinicians. According to the many studies , the pooled rate for symptomatic response after a period of proton pomp inhibitor(PPIs)therapy as the most frequently used drug, in NERD patients is lower than for erosive esophagitis patients. It is also shown that acid exposure is much lower in NERD patients than those with erosive esophagitis and NERD patients are less likely to exhibit a strong association between heartburn symptoms and acid reflux events than patients with erosive oesophagitis. Furthermore, beside the high economic burden, there are concerns about the adverse effects of long time administration of PPIs. Several hypothesis has been proposed to describe low response rate of NERD patients to PPIs. One of the most acceptable theories is that patients with anxiety or depression and psychological problems are at an increased risk of developing reflux symptoms. On the other hand, pain modulators such as sertraline, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor(SSRI), and other antidepressants have been shown to improve symptoms in patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders like non cardiac chest pain. According to the above-mentioned tips, the investigators hypothesize that antidepressants like fluoxetine, as an SSRI, may have beneficial effects in improving symptoms of NERD patients. The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of omeprazole with fluoxetine and placebo for treatment of NERD patients and its subgroups who all experience reflux symptoms and have normal endoscopic findings.
