About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Randomized, Multi-Center, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group Study Assessing the Safety and Efficacy of Lansoprazole Microgranules Oral Suspension in Infants With Symptomatic Gastroesophageal Reflux

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of lansoprazole microgranules oral suspension, once daily (QD), in infants with gastroesophageal reflux symptoms during a 4-week treatment period.

Read the detailed description

This study will be conducted by approximately 20 investigative sites in the U.S. and Poland. Participants who qualify will be randomized in equal proportions to receive either lansoprazole Pediatric Suspension (0.2-0.3 mg/kg/day in infants <10 weeks of age or 1.0-1.5 mg/kg/day in infants >10 weeks of age) or Placebo. This study consists of three periods: Pretreatment Period of 7-14 days, Double-Blind Treatment Period of 4 weeks (Dosing), and the Post-Treatment Period of 30 days (Follow-Up).

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of subjects in each treatment group responding to treatment with a reduction from baseline in the percentage and duration of crying/fussing/irritability episodes associated with feeding after 4 weeks of treatment.

    Measured: Week 4

  2. Safety Assessments

    Measured: Baseline through week 8

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Global Symptom Assessment, as answered by Investigator and Parent/Guardian

    Measured: Baseline through Week 8

  2. Sensitivity analyses of the primary endpoint

    Measured: Week 4

  3. Additional Daily Diary-based symptom Assessments

    Measured: At the end of the double-blind treatment period and 30 days after the last dose of study drug.

  4. Indicators of Growth Parameters

    Measured: During and at the end of the Double-blind treatment period and 30 days after the last dose of study drug.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Lansoprazole microgranules suspension in people with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, run by Takeda at 17 sites in 2 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jul 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites in United States, Poland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Percentage of subjects in each treatment group responding to treatment with a reduction from baseline in the percentage and duration of crying/fussing/irritability episodes associated with feeding after 4 weeks of treatment. (time frame: Week 4). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00324974, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Jul 2010.
