About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Complete Remission of Erosive Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Following Four-week Treatment With Pantoprazole Magnesium 40 mg Versus Esomeprazole 40 mg With Eight-week Extension Treatment in Non-responding Patients - Multicenter, National, Prospective, Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel-group, Phase III

The aim of this trial is to evaluate the complete remission of erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease with pantoprazole magnesium 40 mg once daily versus esomeprazole 40 mg once daily during four-week treatment with an extension treatment for non-responding patients. The study includes a baseline period up to 14 days and a treatment period of either 4 weeks (28 -2 + 5 days), or 8 weeks depending on the cure of esophagitis due to gastroesophageal reflux. The study will provide further data on safety and tolerability of pantoprazole magnesium.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparatively evaluation of the clinical efficacy of pantoprazole magnesium and esomeprazole in the treatment of patients with erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), considering the proportion of patients in complete remission.

    A patient is considered at complete remission if he/she achieved symptoms relief and confirmed endoscopic healing at treatment end. A patient achieves symptoms relief if Reflux Questionnaire-GI score ((ReQuest™) stays below 1,73 for at least the three last consecutive treatment days, that can occur at visit V2 or visit V3 for those that did not achieve complete remission at V2 and repeated the treatment for 4 weeks more.

    Measured: After 4 treatment weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Treatments comparative evaluation for DRGE ReQuest™-GI and -WSO scores change with respect to baseline measured

    Measured: After 4 and 8 treatment weeks

  2. Treatments comparative evaluation for the time interval from treatment start to the beginning of symptoms relief

  3. Treatments comparative evaluation for endoscopic healing rate

    Measured: After 4 and 8 treatment weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Magnesium Pantoprazole and Magnesium Esomeprazole in people with GERD, run by Takeda at 9 sites in Brazil.

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 7 inclusion and 8 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 26 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in Brazil. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparatively evaluation of the clinical efficacy of pantoprazole magnesium and esomeprazole in the treatment of patients with erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), considering the proportion of patients in complete remission. (time frame: After 4 treatment weeks). 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 NCT01132638, 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 26 Jun 2012.
