July 20, 2010 updated by: Takeda

A Phase 3, Randomized, Multi-Center, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group Study Assessing the Safety and Efficacy of Lansoprazole Microgranules Oral Suspension in Infants With Symptomatic Gastroesophageal Reflux

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of lansoprazole microgranules oral suspension, once daily (QD), in infants with gastroesophageal reflux symptoms during a 4-week treatment period.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This study will be conducted by approximately 20 investigative sites in the U.S. and Poland. Participants who qualify will be randomized in equal proportions to receive either lansoprazole Pediatric Suspension (0.2-0.3 mg/kg/day in infants <10 weeks of age or 1.0-1.5 mg/kg/day in infants >10 weeks of age) or Placebo. This study consists of three periods: Pretreatment Period of 7-14 days, Double-Blind Treatment Period of 4 weeks (Dosing), and the Post-Treatment Period of 30 days (Follow-Up).

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

1 month to 11 months (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • At least 7 days post-surgery at the time of Screening (Study Visit 1) with no anticipated need for surgery during the study.
  • Experiencing symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (regurgitation, vomiting or "spitting up," fussing/irritability, feeding refusal, crying during feeding, arching back, poor weight gain, or extraesophageal manifestations) or endoscopy proven reflux disease.
  • Must continue to have reflux symptoms during the Pretreatment Period despite reducing or eliminating exposure to tobacco smoke, using one positioning and feeding strategy the last 7 days as documented in the Daily Diary.
  • The infant exhibited crying, fussing, or irritability during or within 1 hour of feeding in >25% of all feedings during the last 4 days of the Pretreatment Period as documented in the Daily Diary.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Body weight <2.0 kilogram at Dosing Day 1 of the Double-Blind Treatment Period.
  • Unstable, congenital or acquired, clinically significant disease of any major organ system (cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, hepatic, metabolic, etc.), including suspected and/or documented culture-proven sepsis.
  • Coexisting esophageal disease (e.g., eosinophilic esophagitis, viral, bacterial or fungal infection) or caustic or physiochemical trauma to the esophagus.
  • Any congenital anomaly of the upper gastric intestinal tract that might interfere with gastrointestinal motility, pH, absorption, or active or known history of necrotizing enterocolitis that has been surgically corrected.
  • Use of a proton pump inhibitor within 30 days prior to Dosing Day 1.
  • Use of H2 Blockers (i.e. Zantac) within 7 days prior to Dosing Day 1.
  • Allergy to proton pump inhibitors (i.e. Prilosec, Prevacid).
  • Use of prokinetics (e.g., metoclopramide) unless on a stable dose for at least 3 days prior to entering the Pretreatment Period.
  • Unable to obtain stable drug levels after continuous treatment with required drugs including theophylline derivatives, digoxin, phenytoin, phenobarbital, or carbamazepine within the 7 days prior to Dosing Day 1.
  • Clinically Significant abnormalities in clinical laboratory values.

Time Frame: Baseline through week 8
Baseline through week 8

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
