Trial Outcomes & Findings for Rabeprazole Extended Release 50 mg Versus Ranitidine 150 mg for Maintenance of Healed Erosive Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) (NCT NCT00839306)

NCT ID: NCT00839306

Last Updated: 2016-02-08

Results Overview

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 oesophageal 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.

Participant Flow

Participants were eligible for this study if they had completed one of the healing studies (E3810-G000-302 or E3810-G000-303), had no evidence of oesophageal erosions, had sustained heartburn resolution, and had no record of any serious adverse event (SAE) related to study medication during the healing study.

Out of 240 participants who were randomized in this study, 237 participants received study treatment.
