Brief Summary

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

The goal of this study is to "To compare the efficacy and safety of Acotiamide versus Itopride in patient with post prandial distress syndrome type of functional dyspepsia"

Detailed Description

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

Investigator is aiming to conduct an Open-label, comparative randomized controlled, parallel, two-arms, multi-center study.

Primary Outcomes:

• Difference in overall treatment effect between both groups by using Leuven Postprandial Distress Scale (LPDS) in 8 weeks from the baseline

Secondary Outcomes:

* Difference between both groups in symptoms of Postprandial Distress Syndrome (PDS) (including early satiety, abdominal bloating, postprandial fullness) by using Leuven Postprandial Distress Scale (LPDS)
* Difference between both groups in quality of life by using short form Nepean Dyspepsia Index (SF-NDI) from baseline
* Frequency of adverse events, serious adverse events and tolerability in both groups

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

FACTORIAL

Open-label, comparative randomized, parallel, two-arms, multi-center study. A permuted block randomization technique was applied to generate an individual list of random assignment of participants to treatment group A (Acotiamide) and treatment group B (Itopride). A block represents a separate center/site of enrollment, and each center will enroll total 50 - 55 participants as per protocol. There will be total 3 recruitment centers, and each recruiting center will follow the provided list of random assignments (Annexure). An online software (https://www.sealedenvelope.com/simple-randomiser/v1/lists) was used to generate a random sequence for total 152 subjects with balanced distribution method.
