Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Primary objective is to evaluate the relationship between healing and study drug allotment. [ Time Frame: 3 weeks of treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    The primary objective is to evaluate the relationship between healing and study drug allotment. The variables to be used are erosive esophagitis healing status after 3 weeks of treatment as assessed by EGD (upper endoscopy) comparing to base line EGD.


Estimated Enrollment: 40
Study Start Date: May 2010
Estimated Study Completion Date: May 2012
Estimated Primary Completion Date: May 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Nexium
Comparing 40 mg.once daily in healing erosive esophagitis.
 Drug: Nexium
Comparing 40 mg Nexium once daily to 60 mg Secretol once daily in healing erosive esophagitis.
Other Name: Esomeprazole
Active Comparator: Secretol
Comparing the efficacy of 60 mg Secretol once daily in healing erosive esophagitis.
 Drug: Secretol
Comparing 60 mg. once daily to Nexium once daily in healing erosive esophagitis.
Other Name: lansoprazole/omeprazole combination

Detailed Description:

We hypothesize that Secretol 60 mg daily will demonstrate better efficacy than Nexium 40 mg daily in healing erosive esophagitis(EE)and controlling gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD)related symptoms after 3 weeks of treatment.In addition, Secretol 60 mg daily will have a faster effect on the aforementioned clinical parameters but a similar safety profile.
