Rabeprazole Extended-Release 50 mg vs. Ranitidine 150 mg for Maintenance of Healed Erosive Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) - Full Text View

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of rabeprazole extended release (ER) 50 mg (once daily) versus ranitidine 150 mg (twice daily) in the maintenance of complete healing in subjects with healed erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (eGERD).

Primary Outcome Measures:

Percentage of Participants With Maintenance of Complete Healing of eGERD at Week 26 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 26 ]
eGERD (erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease) healing measured by the Time-to-Relapse of Oesophageal Erosions using an Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). Lesions were identified and graded using the following Los Angeles (LA) classification of Oesophagitis: Not Present: No breaks (erosions) in the esophageal mucosa (however, edema, erythema, or friability may be present).

Grade A: One or more mucosal breaks not more than 5mm in maximum length. Grade B: One or more mucosal breaks more than 5mm in maximum length, but not continuous between the tops of 2 mucosal folds.

Grade C: Mucosal breaks continuous between the tops of 2 or more mucosal folds, but involving less than 75% of the esophageal circumference.

Grade D: Mucosal breaks involving at least 75% of the esophageal circumference.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Percentage of Participants With Investigator-recorded Sustained Resolution of Heartburn at Week 26 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 26 ]
Heartburn or other GERD-associated symptoms (regurgitation, epigastric or chest pain, dysphagia, belching, bloating, early satiety, other) was based on a 4-point Likert scale that included the following: None (No symptoms); Mild (Awareness of symptoms but easily tolerated); Moderate (Discomforting symptom sufficient to cause interference with normal activities including sleep); Severe (Incapacitating symptom, inability to perform normal activities).
Secondary Outcome Measures Will Include: Adverse Events, Electrocardiograms (ECGs), Laboratory Evaluations (Hematology, Blood Chemistry, Urinalysis, and Gastrin), Gastric Biopsies, Physical Exam, and Vital Signs. [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 26 ]

Detailed Description:

Ages Eligible for Study:	18 Years to 75 Years (Adult, Senior)
Sexes Eligible for Study:	All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:	No

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Prior completion of Study E3810-G000-301 or -303. Subjects will need to have healed erosive esophagitis (absence of esophageal mucosal breaks or erosions) confirmed by EGD and sustained resolution of heartburn at Visit 4 or 5 of Study E3810-G000-301 or -303.

Exclusion Criteria:

Esophageal motility disorders (achalasia, scleroderma, or esophageal spasm).
Barrett's esophagus or esophageal stricture.
Use of prescription or non-prescription proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), histamine receptor antagonists (H2RA), antacids, sucralfate, misoprostol, prokinetics or drugs with significant anticholinergic effects throughout the study.
Subjects who require chronic use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), oral steroids (>= 20 mg/day prednisone or equivalent), or aspirin (->; 325 mg/day).
Significant hepatic, renal, respiratory, endocrine, hematologic, neurologic, psychiatric, or cardiovascular system abnormalities that would be likely to interfere with the conduct of the study, the interpretation of study results, or the health of the subject during the study.
Any condition that would make the subject, in the opinion of the investigator or sponsor, unsuitable for the study.
