Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy and Safety of Dexlansoprazole MR and Lansoprazole on Healing of Erosive Esophagitis (NCT NCT00251719)

NCT ID: NCT00251719

Last Updated: 2012-02-03

Results Overview

Percentage of subjects with complete healing of EE as assessed by endoscopy. Change in LA Esophagitis Classification grades A, B, C, D to healed was measured. Healed is defined as anything that is less than the criterion for Grade A (greater than or equal to 1 mucosal break and less than 5 mm). If it doesn't meet the A criterion, it's counted as healed.

Participant Flow

Subjects were enrolled at 93 sites in the US and 63 ex-US sites from 16 December 2005 to 22 January 2007.

Subjects recorded day and nighttime heartburn symptoms and rescue medications for a screening period of up to 21 days. Subjects with endoscopically-proven erosive esophagitis (EE) at screening were enrolled in Dexlansoprazole Modified Release (MR) or Lansoprazole once daily (QD) treatment group.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 Weeks

Population: Crude rate analysis were performed on the ITT subjects who had at least 1 post-baseline endoscopy assessment that was performed within 7 days of the last day of study drug.

Percentage of subjects with complete healing of EE as assessed by endoscopy. Change in LA Esophagitis Classification grades A, B, C, D to healed was measured. Healed is defined as anything that is less than the criterion for Grade A (greater than or equal to 1 mucosal break and less than 5 mm). If it doesn't meet the A criterion, it's counted as healed.
