This is a Phase I, single-center, open label parallel-group, randomized study designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD, by continuous intragastric pH measurment), safety and tolerability of single and repeated oral doses of linaprazan glurate in 3 different dose levels given once- (QD) or twice daily (BID), for 14 days, with an additional single dose after 2, 4 or 6 days of drug holiday. The population will include healthy male and female subjects.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing linaprazan glurate 25 mg QD, linaprazan glurate 50 mg QD and linaprazan glurate 75 mg QD in people with GERD, run by Cinclus Pharma Holding AB at 1 site in Slovenia.
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 4 inclusion and 4 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 7 May 2025. 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 Slovenia. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
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 7 May 2025). 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?
AUC0-24h Linaprazan (QD) (time frame: Day 1 and Day 14). The study lists 9 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 7 May 2025.
