What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Diagnostic test characteristics and the positive and negative predictive value of a 2-week Nexium-based PPI test using symptom analysis of 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring as gold standard.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To assess the optimal duration of a Nexium-based PPI test, and the predictive value of different symptoms for presence of reflux-related symptoms.

  2. Obtain information on patient satisfaction, the course of reflux symptoms, the consumption of acid suppressing drugs, the disease-related quality of life at a follow up periods of 3 months in patients with a positive and negative PPI test.

A Phase 4 study testing Esomeprazole and Ambulatory 24-hour esophageal pH-monitoring in people with GERD, run by AstraZeneca at 1 site in Netherlands.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diagnostic test characteristics and the positive and negative predictive value of a 2-week Nexium-based PPI test using symptom analysis of 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring as gold standard.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
