Trial summary

Evaluate the prevalence of bronchial responsiveness (BHR) among patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Investigate correlation between bronchial reactivity and the severity of GERD, and similarly investigate the correlation between exhaled nitric oxide (NO) and the severity of GERD.

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Esomeprazole and Nissen Fundoplication on Bronchial Responsiveness, Quality of Life, Exhaled Nitric Oxide and Pulmonary Function in Patients With Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

Evaluate the prevalence of bronchial responsiveness (BHR) among patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Investigate correlation between bronchial reactivity and the severity of GERD, and similarly investigate the correlation between exhaled nitric oxide (NO) and the severity of GERD.

Compare the effects of esomeprazole 40 mg twice daily and Nissen fundoplication on bronchial reactivity, exhaled NO, pulmonary function and quality of life.

Being tested
esomeprazole

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing esomeprazole in people with Airway Responsiveness, run by Tampere University Hospital at 1 site in Finland.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Oct 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Finland. 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 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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00994708, 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 14 Oct 2009.
