About this study

The objective of this Observational study is to evaluate hygiene-dietetic habits as co-adjuvant treatment of the pharmacologic therapy use to treat Gastroesophageal Reflux.

Read the detailed description

Gastroesophageal Reflux illness is a multifactor pathology with a common mechanism: a prolonged exposure of the esophageal mucosa to the gastric solutions. Modification of the life style and the hygiene-dietetic habits are frequently recommended as an initial therapeutic instrument in Gastroesophageal Reflux pathology. But there is not agreement about the effectiveness of these habits in the improvement of the illness. Different clinical practice guidances have shown contradictions in the effectiveness of changing hygiene-dietetics habits of the life style. The high effectiveness of the new pharmacologic treatment in Gastroesophageal Reflux pathology make it necessary to review the role of hygiene-dietetic habits in this illness. Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) act in the final step of the gastric secretion. PPI's block ATP-ase H+/K+ in gastric parietals cells. This mechanism generates a higher acid inhibition, longer than the inhibition produced by H2-receptor antagonists. It has been described that inhibition of acid secretion has produced a recovery of the gastroesophageal pathology in a high percentage of the patients resistant to conventional drugs. This is an observational, multicenter, open and prospective study. The primary objective is to evaluate hygiene-dietetic habits as co-adjuvant of Rabeprazol treatment in Gastroesophageal Reflux . It is expected to include 570 patients with Gastroesophageal pathology erosive or non-erosive and acute or chronic treated with Rabeprazol per clinical practice, 20mg per day, orally, for 8 weeks. All data collected will be prospective and will include the following: demographic data, progress of the pathology, change of hygiene-dietetic habits, treatment adherence, concomitant treatments and adverse events.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastroesophageal Reflux, run by Janssen-Cilag, S.A..

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 1 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 May 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Due to the achievement of minimum required sample size and new changes in local regulations.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Gastroesophageal Reflux symptoms (time frame: 8 weeks). 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 May 2011.
