The Prospective Study on the Effect of Ilaprazole in Non-erosive Reflux Disease Patients; Focused on Histologic Findings and Inflammatory Biomarker

March 20, 2019 updated by: Yonsei University

Non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) patients used to be less responsive to proton pump inhibitor (PPI)s as compared with patients with erosive esophagitis. The aim of this study is to objectively evaluate the effect of a new PPI, ilaprazole in NERD for adjusting the focus of symptom score, histopathologic findings and inflammatory biomarker.

A prospective study performed at single hospital enrolled 20 patients who were diagnosed clinically as NERD. Patients underwent EGD, a 24hr-combined multichannel intraluminal impedance and pH esophageal monitoring (MII-pH) and were treated with ilaprazole 20mg once daily for 4 weeks. Biopsies were obtained from 3cm above the EG junction before and after treatment. GERD Q questionnaire, histologic findings (basal cell hyperplasia, papillary elongation, dilated intercellular spaces, intraepithelial eosinophils and intraepithelial T lymphocyte) and inflammatory biomarkers (TNF-α, IL-8, IL-1β, TRPV1 and MCP-1) will be accessed.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

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.

Study Type

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

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

20 years to 80 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
EXPERIMENTAL: ilaprazole group
ilaprazole 20mg once daily for 4 weeks.
Drug: Ilaprazole
Patients who were diagnosed clinically as NERD and were treated with ilaprazole 20mg once daily for 4 weeks. Biopsies were obtained from 3cm above the EG junction before and after treatment. GERD Q questionnaire, histologic findings (basal cell hyperplasia, papillary elongation, dilated intercellular spaces, intraepithelial eosinophils and intraepithelial T lymphocyte) and inflammatory biomarkers (TNF-α, IL-8, IL-1β, TRPV1 and MCP-1) were accessed.

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
Changes of symptoms
Time Frame: 4 weeks
All patients complete the GerdQ questionnaire before and after taking ilaprazole. It was utilized to assess improvement of symptoms after taking medicine.
4 weeks

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
changes of histopathological findings
Time Frame: 4 weeks
Changes of histopathological findings and inflammatory biomarkers will be assessed before and after treatment. Histologic findings include basal cell hyperplasia, papillary elongation, dilated intercellular spaces, intraepithelial eosinophils and intraepithelial T lymphocyte. Inflammatory biomarkers (TNF-α, IL-8, IL-1β, TRPV1 and MCP-1) were also accessed by RT-PCR.
