Recruiting PHASE3 GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease)

Compares treatment options for GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease)

Official title A Study Comparing the Effect and Safety of Linaprazan Glurate to Lansoprazole in Participants With Erosive Esophagitis (EE) Due to Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07037875

What this study is testing

What is Linaprazan glurate 50 mg Twice Daily (BID)?

Linaprazan glurate 50 mg Twice Daily (BID) is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for gerd (gastroesophageal reflux disease).

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The goal of this clinical trial is to find out how well linaprazan glurate can heal erosive esophagitis (EE) caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), compared to lansoprazole, a commonly used medication. Researchers will also evaluate whether linaprazan glurate: Reduces heartburn symptoms more effectively than lansoprazole Is safe and well tolerated, based on physical exams, blood tests, and vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, and breathing rate) Causes any side effects during treatment Has different effects depending on how much of the drug is in the blood Works differently depending on participants' genes Participants must be between 18 to 80 years old and have EE due to GERD confirmed by an endoscopy.
  • Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
