Evaluation of the Effects of GERDOFF in Combination With a 6-week Therapy Based on Proton Pump Inhibitors Versus Proton Pump Inhibitors Alone on GERD-high Symptoms in Patients With Primary Diagnosis of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating GERDOFF® + Omeprazole and Omeprazole for Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease. Completed, enrolled 72 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of a 6-weeks treatment of a CE-marked combination oral formulation of hyaluronic acid with chondroitin sulphate and aluminium hydroxide (GERDOFF®), in addition to proton pump inhibitors (PPI) at the standard dose, versus PPI only, in patients with first diagnosed clinical presentation of extra-esophageal GERD symptoms. The investigators verified the reduction of symptoms frequency, using a Likert questionnaire, and severity, using the Reflux Symptom Index (RSI) questionnaire, to evaluate the proportion of Responders and Non-Responder patients in these two groups after 6 weeks of treatment, compared to baseline. Moreover investigators evaluated the persistence of effects of GERDOFF® + PPI treatment on extraesophageal symptoms, after a 12-weeks follow up, only in responder patients.
