Esomeprazole for Treatment of GERD in Pediatric Patients - Full Text View

Sponsor:	AstraZeneca
Information provided by:	AstraZeneca
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00228527

Purpose

To look at the safety and improvement in symptoms of a once a day dosing of esomeprazole in children 1 to 11 years old with inflammation of their esophagus or food pipe ("esophagitis") caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and diagnosed by endoscopy.

To verify the healing of the esophageal inflammation if the endoscopy reveals cuts in the lining of the food pipe.

To collect information that will describe the psychological, social, and economic effects on the primary caregiver of raising children ages 1 to 5 years old with GERD.

Primary Outcome Measures:

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety of once daily treatment with esomeprazole in relieving GERD-associated symptoms in pediatric patients 1 to 11 years of age, inclusive.
The primary outcome variables include assessment of changes from baseline in medical history, physical examination, clinical laboratory evaluations, and adverse events.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate the clinical outcome of once daily treatment with esomeprazole in relieving GERD-associated signs and symptoms in pediatric patients 1 to 11 years of age, inclusive.
The secondary objectives include:
- Assessment of changes from baseline in daily patient symptom assessment as reported by parent/guardian.
- Assessment of changes from baseline in Physician's Global Assessment
- Assessment of endoscopic healing of erosive esophagitis

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients' parents/guardians must provide written informed consent prior to the execution of any study-related procedures.
Patients who are able to comprehend their involvement in a clinical study, including risks and benefits, (typically ≥6 years of age) must have assent documented by study personnel prior to any study-related procedures.
Patients must be diagnosed with endoscopically proven GERD by the investigator during the screening period or have a previous (within 2 weeks prior to Visit 1) diagnosis of erosive esophagitis by endoscopy and are candidates for PPI therapy.

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients who have used a proton pump inhibitor within 14 days prior to randomization, including over-the-counter omeprazole.
Patients who have used any prescription or over-the-counter (OTC) treatment (other than proton pump inhibitors) for symptoms of GERD, such as histamine 2 receptor antagonists or prokinetics, within 72 hours prior to randomization.
