About this study

Official title: Omeprazole 20 mg in Patients With Laryngopharyngeal reflux and Comorbid Chronic Rhinosinusitis - a Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled Trial

The hypothesis of this study is that a gastroesophageal reflux recommended treatment with proton pump inhibitor (dose and duration) compared to placebo significantly reduces both the signs and symptoms of laryngopharyngeal reflux and comorbid chronic rhinosinusitis. Primary objective was to determine whether 8 weeks of treatment with omeprazole 20 mg ones daily (OD) significantly reduces the signs and symptoms of laryngopharyngeal reflux when compared to placebo in patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux with comorbid chronic rhinosinusitis. Secondary objectives were to determine whether 8 weeks of treatment with omeprazole 20 mg OD significantly reduces the signs and symptoms of comorbid chronic rhinosinusitis in patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux when compared to matching placebo; and to investigate the association of the severity of signs and symptoms of laryngopharyngeal reflux with the ones of chronic rhinosinusitis in the same group of patients. The research was carried out as a double blind randomized placebo controlled trial. Patients were randomized into two groups in an approximate 1:1 ratio using a concealed random sequence. After randomization and initial assessment treatment was initialized. Patients on active treatment were given omeprazole 20 mg once daily half an hour before breakfast for 8 weeks, while those in the placebo group were given matching placebo tablets using the same regimen for 8 weeks as the group on the active treatment. Patients were reassessed at the end of treatment for signs and symptoms of laryngopharyngeal reflux and comorbid chronic rhinosinusitis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Reduction in signs and symptoms of laryngopharyngeal reflux

    Reflux symptom index (RSI) score

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Reduction in signs and symptoms of laryngopharyngeal reflux

    Reflux finding score (RFS)

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Reduction of signs and symptoms of comorbid chronic rhinosinusitis

    Nasal obstruction, anterior/posterior nasal drip, headache, sneezing, cough, smell and taste disorder with frequency and intensity of the symptoms was graded from 0 (no problem) to 3 (severe problem).

    Nasal endoscopy with endoscopy scores were based on the assessment of nasal mucosa edema, secretions and presence of polyps and were graded from 0 (no problem) to 3 (severe problem).

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Association of the severity of signs and symptoms of laryngopharyngeal reflux with the ones of chronic rhinosinusitis

    Measured: Baseline and after 8 weeks of treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Omeprazole 20mg in people with Laryngopharyngeal Reflux and Chronic Rhinosinusitis (Diagnosis), run by Children's Hospital Srebrnjak.

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 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 30 Dec 2020. 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?

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?

Reduction in signs and symptoms of laryngopharyngeal reflux (time frame: 8 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03086070, 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 30 Dec 2020.
