About this study

Official title: The Relationship Between Gastroesophageal Reflux and Pediatric Rhinitis: Significance of Pale/Blue Colored Turbinate. A Randomized Controlled Trial

Gastroesophageal(GERD) reflux disease is a very common problem among pediatric population and has be proved to contribute in numerous otolaryngological manifestations. Trails of empirical treatment of antireflux medications is often used as a diagnostic test. However, the investigators believe GERD can cause rhinitis and nasal obstruction. Nasonex is considered as first line treatment for nasal obstruction. Hence, the proposed study aims to define the relationship between GERD and rhinitis using randomize control trial where one group of patients will receive nasonex and placebo, while the other group will receive nasonex and antireflux medications.

Read the detailed description

The proposed study is a randomized controlled trial in which children with nasal obstruction will be randomized to receive either antireflux medication lansoprazole (prevacid) and mometasone furonate (nasonex) or only nasonex and placebo. The diagnosis of nasal obstruction will be made by history and physical examination.

The study will take place at Montreal children's hospital. After the patients or parents of the patients agree for their children to take part in the study and sign a consent/assent form, baseline information will be collected and the patients will asked to fill out three questionnaires for GERD symptoms and nasal symptom. After that eligible patients will undergo sinus x-ray, nasal endoscopy and allergy skin test (these test are routine performed for all patients with symptoms of nasal obstruction). Then the patients will further be sub-divided into two groups based on the allergic skin prick test (SPT); allergy positive and allergy negative group. In each group patients will randomly allocated to one of the two study arms; group A will receive lansoprazole (prevacid) and mometasone furonate (nasonex) and the other group will receive nasonex and placebo. The lansoprazole/placebo will be discontinued after 3 months and the patients will undergo nasal endoscopy and will be asked to fill out the three questionnaires again to assess the improvement. The patients will be follow for another 3 months, the patients will again undergo nasal endoscopy and will asked to fill out the three questionnaires to assess the improvement and sustainability.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Oct 2014. 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact John J Manoukian, MD, FRCSC, FACS (( 514 ) 412-4400 ext. 25302, john.manoukian@mcgill.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

improvement of the nasal signs and symptoms. (time frame: three months). 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 NCT02278081, which also lists 13 linked publications.

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.
