Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A Randomised, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial off the Efficacy and Rapidity of Action of a Product Containing Sodium Alginate, Calcium and Magnesium Salts, Hyaluronic Acid and Aloe Vera to Control Oesophageal-Gastric pH and Reduce Symptoms of Gastric Reflux and Hyperacidity.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators will include patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease and heartburn (more than 3 weekly episodes of heartburn for at least 4 consecutive weeks) not related to medication intake and don't use proton pump blockers or H2-receptor antagonists.

This is a multicentre clinical trial with two-phase design:

Phase I: A double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled clinical trial to assess the efficacy and rapidity of action of the medical device to reduce clinical symptoms of gastric reflux and hyperacidity under normal conditions of use. This phase I will be performed in primary care clinics.

Phase II: A non-comparative, non-controlled clinical trial to objectively assess, using continuous pH monitoring, the magnitude and rapidity to control gastric and oesophageal pH after taking the product. This phase II will be performed at the Department of Gastroenterology of Medic Center.

The study will begin with the baseline visit (day 0) in which the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be confirmed, the signing of informed consent will be obtained, GERD-Q Questionnaire will be done and treatment will be prescribed, followed by a home recording where patients will record data on episodes of acidity and heartburn occuring during the follow-up week. A face-to-face visit will be at 7 days after to recollect information about total number of daytime and nighttime episodes of acidity/heartburn since the previous visit and repeat the GERD-Q Questionnaire.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention (Antacid)

An Antacid, a CE marked medical device under normal conditions of use.

Sodium alginate (reduces reflux) (250 mg/tablet) Calcium carbonate (reduces acidity) (80 mg/tablet) Magnesium carbonate (reduces acidity) (144 mg/tablet) Hyaluronic acid (mucosal protector) (6.15 mg/tablet) Aloe vera extract without anthraquinones (mucosal protector) (40 mg/tablet)

Patients should take 2 tablets of treatment at the time they develop reflux or hyperacidity. The maximum dose will be 6 tablets per day.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Antacid

Intervention Type DEVICE

The tablets should be kept in the mouth without chewing or swallowing, allowing them to dissolve completely.

Control

The control will consist of a placebo based on excipients without active ingredients that will be formulated so that the tablet has the same appearance as the test product, with three different colour layers.

Patients should take 2 tablets of treatment at the time they develop reflux or hyperacidity. The maximum dose will be 6 tablets per day.
