Trial Outcomes & Findings for Bethanechol for Eosinophilic Esophagitis (NCT NCT02058537)

NCT ID: NCT02058537

Last Updated: 2016-04-22

Results Overview

The high resolution esophageal manometry with impedance involves a thin, pressure-sensitive tube that is passed through the nose and into the stomach. Once in place, the tube is pulled slowly back into the esophagus (food pipe). When the tube is in the esophagus, the patient is asked to swallow several times while swallowing water, applesauce, crackers, and marshmallows. These swallows will be completed while laying down, sitting upright, and standing. The pressure of the muscle contractions will be measured along several sections of the tube. The tube is removed after the tests are completed. This test allows for a quantitative measure of the pressure in the esophagus that can be correlated to difficulty or ease of bolus swallowing.

Bethanechol
Oral administration of 25 milligrams of bethanechol taken twice daily for a minimum of 7 days. Total dose taken daily for a minimum of 7 days is 50 mg. Bethanechol: Due to the fact that this study has only 1 arm and all study subjects will receive the study drug in the same manner and dose, there are no other details to cover.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 and Day 7

Population: We did not do the data analysis since the originating PI left the institution and the study was terminated.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 and Day 7

Population: We did not do the data analysis since the originating PI left the institution and the study was terminated.

This questionnaire allows the patient to assess their own symptoms and report their opinions about drug effectiveness.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 and Day 7

Population: We did not do the data analysis since the originating PI left the institution and the study was terminated.

Vital signs include temperature, heart rate, breathing rate, and blood pressure. This variables will be measured during the study in order to assess any negative systemic effects of the study drug. These measurements are assessed as a composite and not individually therefore are grouped together as one outcome measure.
