Trial summary

Current treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) confirms an unmet need in patients, based on slow onset of action and an inability to provide 24-hour gastric-acid suppression. Clinical data on AH234844 demonstrates a rapid onset of action, high potency, and prolonged duration of effect. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Four Period Cross-over Comparison of the Effect of Two Doses Lavoltidine, Esomeprazole, and Placebo on 24 Hour Gastric pH and Frequency of Heartburn in Symptomatic GERD Subjects Without Esophageal Erosions

Current treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) confirms an unmet need in patients, based on slow onset of action and an inability to provide 24-hour gastric-acid suppression. Clinical data on AH234844 demonstrates a rapid onset of action, high potency, and prolonged duration of effect. The present study endeavors, in part, to compare lavoltidine to two GERD drugs, NEXIUM and ranitidine.

Read the detailed description

A three-part study in healthy male volunteers to determine the most effective of four different lavoltidine doses on gastric pH and to compare the most effective dose with NEXIUM (esomeprazole) 40mg for the inhibition of gastric-acid secretion and with ranitidine (300mg/day) for the amount of pharmacodynamic tolerance

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AH23844 (lavoltidine), NEXIUM (esomeprazole) and ZANTAC (ranitidine) in people with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease and Reflux, Gastroesophageal, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 2 sites in Australia.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 19 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Australia. 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. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

pH over 24hours (time frame: over 24hours). 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.

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 19 Jan 2017.
