About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Double-Dummy, Parallel-group Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Oral Once-Daily Administration of TAK-438 10 or 20 mg Compared to Lansoprazole 15 mg in the Maintenance Treatment of Subjects With Endoscopic Healing of Erosive Esophagitis
This is a comparative study of vonoprazan (TAK-438) (10 mg or 20 mg) in participants in whom endoscopic healing of erosive esophagitis has been confirmed with vonoprazan or adequate treatment with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), to demonstrate the non-inferiority of vonoprazan to lansoprazole in their maintenance treatment (6 months or 24 weeks) as well as to determine the clinically recommended dose for vonoprazan for maintenance therapy in erosive esophagitis.
Read the detailed description
The drug being tested in this study is called vonoprazan. Vonoprazan is being tested as a maintenance treatment for people with healed erosive esophagitis (EE). This study will look at participants in whom endoscopic healing of erosive esophagitis has been confirmed with vonoprazan or adequate treatment with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), to demonstrate the non-inferiority of vonoprazan to Lansoprazole in their maintenance treatment (6 months or 24 weeks) as well as to determine the clinically recommended dose for vonoprazan for maintenance therapy in erosive esophagitis.
The study will enroll approximately 693 patients. Participants will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of the three treatment groups-which will remain undisclosed to the patient and study doctor during the study (unless there is an urgent medical need):
- TAK-438 10 mg
- TAK-438 20 mg
- Lansoprazole 15 mg
Participants with ongoing erosive esophagitis (EE) will receive lansoprazole 30 mg once daily for 4 or 8 weeks (the Healing phase) until healing of EE is confirmed by endoscopy performed at either Week -4 and/or Day 1 before eligible for randomization to maintenance phase. In Maintenance phase, participants with confirming EE healing will be asked to take 2 tablets and a capsule at the same time each morning after breakfast throughout the study. All participants will be asked to record daytime and nighttime (during sleep) subjective symptoms in a diary on a daily basis.
This multi-centre trial will be conducted worldwide. The overall time to participate in this study is 8 months. Participants will make multiple visits to the clinic, and will be contacted by telephone 7-14 days after last dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants With Recurrence of Erosive Esophagitis as Confirmed on Endoscopy After the 24-week Maintenance Phase
Erosive esophagitis recurrence is defined as participants endoscopically confirmed to have erosive esophagitis (Los Angeles [LA] classification grades A to D) during the Maintenance Phase (24 weeks). Grade A: >/=1 mucosal breaks </=5 mm, none of which extends between the tops of the mucosal folds; Grade B: >/=1 mucosal breaks >5 mm, none of which extends between the tops of two mucosal folds; Grade C: mucosal breaks that extend between the tops of two or more mucosal folds, but which involve <75% of esophageal circumference; Grade D: mucosal breaks which involve >/=75% of esophageal circumference.
Measured: 24 weeks
Secondary outcomes (8)
Percentage of Participants With Recurrence of Erosive Esophagitis After 12 Weeks of Treatment in the Maintenance Phase
Erosive esophagitis recurrence is defined as endoscopically confirmed to have erosive esophagitis (LA classification grades A to D) during the Maintenance Phase (12 weeks). Grade A: >/=1 mucosal breaks </=5 mm, none of which extends between the tops of the mucosal folds; Grade B: >/=1 mucosal breaks >5 mm, none of which extends between the tops of two mucosal folds; Grade C: mucosal breaks that extend between the tops of two or more mucosal folds, but which involve <75% of esophageal circumference; Grade D: mucosal breaks which involve >/=75% of esophageal circumference.
Measured: 12 weeks
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (eg, a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug whether or not it is considered related to the drug.
Measured: From Day 1 to 14 days after the last dose of study medication (up to 26 weeks)
Number of Participants With Abnormal Clinical Laboratory Findings
Clinical laboratory safety tests included chemistry, hematology and urinalysis. Number of participants with any markedly abnormal values in laboratory tests collected throughout study is reported. ALT = alanine aminotransferase, AST = aspartate aminotransferase, GGT = gamma-glutamyl transferase, CPK = creatine phosphokinase, BUN = blood urea nitrogen, LLN = lower limit of normal or lower reference limit, ULN = upper limit of normal or upper reference limit, g/L = grams per liter, U/L = units per liter, mmol/L = millimoles per liter, pmol/L = picomoles per liter.
Measured: From Day 1 to 14 days after the last dose of study medication (up to 26 weeks)
Number of Participants With Abnormal Electrocardiogram (ECG) Findings
Number of participants with any markedly abnormal 12-lead ECG findings is reported. bpm = beats per minute, msec = milliseconds, CHG= change from baseline.
Measured: From Day 1 to 14 days after the last dose of study medication (up to 26 weeks)
Number of Participants With Abnormal Vital Sign Measurements
The percentage of participants with any markedly abnormal vital sign measurements including (body temperature, blood pressure and pulse), mmHg = millimeters of mercury.
Measured: From Day 1 to 14 days after the last dose of study medication (up to 26 weeks)
Change From Baseline in Serum Gastrin
Measured: Baseline and Weeks 4, 12 and 24
Change From Baseline in Serum Pepsinogen I
Measured: Baseline and Weeks 4, 12 and 24
Change From Baseline in Serum Pepsinogen II
Measured: Baseline and Weeks 4, 12 and 24

Primary outcome
Percentage of Participants With Recurrence of Erosive Esophagitis as Confirmed on Endoscopy After the 24-week Maintenance Phase
Time frame: 24 weeks
Erosive esophagitis recurrence is defined as participants endoscopically confirmed to have erosive esophagitis (Los Angeles [LA] classification grades A to D) during the Maintenance Phase (24 weeks). Grade A: >/=1 mucosal breaks </=5 mm, none of which extends between the tops of the mucosal folds; Grade B: >/=1 mucosal breaks >5 mm, none of which extends between the tops of two mucosal folds; Grade C: mucosal breaks that extend between the tops of two or more mucosal folds, but which involve <75% of esophageal circumference; Grade D: mucosal breaks which involve >/=75% of esophageal circumference.

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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Feb 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Percentage of Participants With Recurrence of Erosive Esophagitis as Confirmed on Endoscopy After the 24-week Maintenance Phase (time frame: 24 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 NCT02388737, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
