Observational Study of Anti-Reflux Surgery: Clinical Experience With the LINX Reflux Management System and Fundoplication

The Anti-Reflux Surgical Study has been established to:

  • Collect data about anti-reflux surgical treatment options (magnetic sphincter augmentation and Fundoplication) in everyday clinical practice
  • Track the clinical course of patients from pre-operative assessment to three years post-surgery

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

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

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients undergoing antireflux surgery for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Individuals treated with LINX Reflux Management System or Fundoplication
  • Individuals who have provided appropriate authorization per institutional policy and procedure to have clinical and health information collected for the Anti-Reflux Surgical Registry.
  • Individuals willing to complete questionnaires and comply with the three years of follow-up.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Known circumstances that would make it unlikely for an individual to complete the three year follow-up (e.g. life expectancy <3 years)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Health Related Quality of Life Outcome (GERD-HRQL)
Time Frame: 3 years post-surgery
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Health Related Quality of Life Outcomes (GERD-HRQL) Total scores range from 0-50 (min/max) 10 questions total, each rating 0-5 (min/max) Lower is better; higher is worse
3 years post-surgery

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
January 1, 2010

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
January 1, 2015

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
