Efficacy of DA-5204 (Stillen 2X) for patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND/AIM:Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) alone is not satisfactory for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Therefore, we investigated the efficacy of DA-5204 (Stillen 2X, 90?mg of Artemisia asiatica 95% ethanol extract per tablet) and PPI combination therapy on GERD in comparison to PPI alone. METHODS:This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study randomly assigned 70 patients with endoscopically proven esophageal mucosal injury (Los Angeles classification grade A or B) into 2 groups: pantoprazole 40?mg once daily with DA-5204 twice daily (DA-5204 group) or pantoprazole 40?mg once daily with placebo twice daily (placebo group) for 4 weeks. The primary endpoint was endoscopic healing rate. The secondary endpoint was sufficient relief (?50% reduction) of symptoms using GERD Questionnaire. RESULTS:Final analyses included 29 patients with the DA-5204 group and 30 patients with the placebo group. At weeks 4, there was no significant difference in the endoscopic healing rate between the 2 groups (DA-5204 vs placebo; 96.6% vs 93.3%; P = 1.000). However, the rate of residual minimal change was significantly lower in the DA-5204 group (5/28, 17.9%) than in the placebo group (17/28, 60.7%) (P??.05). CONCLUSION:Combined therapy with PPI and DA-5204 has no additional effect on the endoscopic healing rate compared to PPI alone. However, it may be beneficial in resolving minimal change.

Project description:It is unclear whether the benefits that some patients derive from complementary and integrative medicine (CIM) are related to the therapies recommended or to the consultation process as some CIM provider visits are more involved than conventional medical visits. Many patients with gastrointestinal conditions seek out CIM therapies, and prior work has demonstrated that the quality of the patient-provider interaction can improve health outcomes in irritable bowel syndrome, however, the impact of this interaction on gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is unknown. We aimed to assess the safety and feasibility of conducting a 2 x 2 factorial design study preliminarily exploring the impact of the patient-provider interaction, and the effect of an over-the-counter homeopathic product, Acidil, on symptoms and health-related quality of life in subjects with GERD.24 subjects with GERD-related symptoms were randomized in a 2 x 2 factorial design to receive 1) either a standard visit based on an empathic conventional primary care evaluation or an expanded visit with questions modeled after a CIM consultation and 2) either Acidil or placebo for two weeks. Subjects completed a daily GERD symptom diary and additional measures of symptom severity and health-related quality of life.There was no significant difference in GERD symptom severity between the Acidil and placebo groups from baseline to follow-up (p = 0.41), however, subjects who received the expanded visit were significantly more likely to report a 50% or greater improvement in symptom severity compared to subjects who received the standard visit (p = 0.01). Total consultation length, perceived empathy, and baseline beliefs in CIM were not associated with treatment outcomes.An expanded patient-provider visit resulted in greater GERD symptom improvement than a standard empathic medical visit. CIM consultations may have enhanced placebo effects, and further studies to assess the active components of this visit-based intervention are warranted.ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01915173.

Project description:Introduction: Gastroesophageal reflux-induced chronic cough (GERC) is one of the most common etiologies of chronic cough. Despite the growing prevalence and interest in GERC, no effective treatment is currently available. In our study, we used a combination of herbal medicines, Ojeok-san (OJS) plus Saengmaek-san (SMS), for the treatment of GERC. Methods: We conducted a pilot, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-arm, single-center clinical trial to assess the feasibility of our study protocol, as our study is the first herbal medicine trial for GERC. All enrolled participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention or placebo group in a 1:1 ratio and were administered trial drugs three times a day for 6 weeks, with an evaluation visit performed every 2 weeks for their efficacy and safety assessment until the follow-up visit (week 8). We evaluated the severity and frequency of cough, cough-specific quality of life, airway hypersensitivity, and reflux-related gastrointestinal symptoms, as well as pattern identification, to investigate the complex mechanisms of reflux cough syndrome. Results: A total of 30 participants were enrolled, and 25 completed the study at Kyung Hee University Korean Medicine Hospital from 26 December 2018 to 31 May 2021. OJS plus SMS significantly improved the cough diary score (CDS), cough visual analog scale, Korean version of the Leicester Cough Questionnaire, Hull Airway Reflux Questionnaire, and Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale after the treatment compared to the baseline. Notably, OJS plus SMS showed significant efficacy in the daytime and total CDS compared with the placebo. Only one adverse event was observed during the trial, and no serious adverse events occurred. Additionally, we achieved successful results in feasibility outcomes by exceeding the ratio of 80%. Conclusion: We confirmed the feasibility of our trial design and demonstrated the potential of OJS plus SMS in relieving the severity of cough and GI symptoms in GERC patients with safe and successful feasibility results. We anticipate that our study results will be used as the basis for further large-scale, well-designed, confirmatory trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of OJS plus SMS in GERC.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a major cause of chronic cough. GERD-induced chronic cough is difficult to diagnose because some patients do not complain of any gastrointestinal (GI) reflux symptoms. Although chronic cough due to GERD is highly prevalent, no effective treatment is currently available, especially for GERD-related cough without GI symptoms. Because the herbal medicines Ojeok-san and Saengmaek-san can effectively treat GERD and cough, we aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a combination of these components for relieving chronic cough due to GERD. METHODS/DESIGN:This is a study protocol of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-center pilot trial. After a 1-week run-in period, a total of 30 patients with GERD-induced chronic cough will be randomly allocated to an intervention group (n = 15) or a placebo group (n = 15). Participants will receive 5.76 g of Ojeok-san plus Saengmaek-san or a placebo three times per day for 6 weeks. The primary outcome measures, which are the frequency and severity of cough, will be recorded using a cough diary. The secondary outcome measures will include a cough visual analogue scale, the Leicester Cough Questionnaire (Korean version), the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale, the Hull Airway Reflux (hypersensitivity) Questionnaire, the Pattern Identification for Chronic Cough Questionnaire, the Pattern Identification for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, and safety testing. Adverse events will also be reported. DISCUSSION:This will be the first clinical trial to explore the use of herbal medicines for GERD-related chronic cough, including patients without GI reflux symptoms. This study will provide useful evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of Ojeok-san plus Saengmaek-san treatment. In addition, this trial will offer a scientific basis for the combination of herbal medicines. This study will also provide important data for conducting a larger-scale clinical trial on GERD-induced chronic cough.

Project description:For many patients, current treatments do not adequately resolve heartburn in nonerosive reflux disease (NERD).To compare vonoprazan and placebo with respect to the frequency and severity of heartburn in patients with NERD.This Phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study included patients in Japan aged ?20 years with Grade N or M NERD and recurrent acid reflux symptoms. Patients were blinded and randomized 1:1:1 to receive placebo or vonoprazan 10 mg or 20 mg. The primary efficacy outcome was the proportion of days without heartburn measured by patient scores during the 4-week treatment period.Eight hundred twenty-seven patients were randomized (placebo: n = 278, vonoprazan 10 mg: n = 278, and vonoprazan 20 mg: n = 271). Median proportion of days without heartburn was 7.4% (placebo), 10.3% (vonoprazan 10 mg), and 12.0% (vonoprazan 20 mg). Proportion of days without heartburn was not statistically significant between the vonoprazan and placebo groups (P = 0.2310 [10 mg] and P = 0.0504 [20 mg]). Mean severity of heartburn was significantly higher with placebo (median score = 1.070) than with vonoprazan 10 mg (median score = 0.990; P = 0.0440) and 20 mg (median score = 0.960; P = 0.0139). Patients whose symptoms improved at Week 2 experienced significantly increased proportion of days without heartburn and reduced mean severity of heartburn at Week 4 with vonoprazan compared with placebo (proportion of days without heartburn: P = 0.0004 [10 mg] and P = 0.0001 [20 mg] and mean severity: P < 0.0001 [10 mg] and P < 0.0001 [20 mg]). A significant difference in median proportion of days without heartburn was observed for vonoprazan 20 mg compared with placebo in patients with Grade M NERD. Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events was 32.7% (placebo), 27.7% (vonoprazan 10 mg), and 28.0% (vonoprazan 20 mg).Vonoprazan at doses of 10 mg and 20 mg are not superior to placebo with respect to proportion of days without heartburn, whereas the mean severity of heartburn is lower with vonoprazan compared with placebo in patients with NERD.

Project description:ObjectivesThis study aimed to assess the efficacy of DA-9701 on gastrointestinal symptom-related quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease on stable dopaminergic medications.MethodsThis multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 4 trial included a total of 144 patients with Parkinson's disease with gastrointestinal dysfunctions based on predefined criteria. Participants were randomized to take either DA-9701 or placebo for 4?weeks, and then both groups were administered DA-9701 for an additional 8?weeks while antiparkinsonian medications were unchanged. The primary outcome measure was gastrointestinal symptoms and related quality-of-life changes assessed on the Korean Nepean dyspepsia index after 4 and 12?weeks of therapy. We also evaluated the impact of DA-9701 therapy on parkinsonian motor symptoms at each time point.ResultsThe gastrointestinal symptom-related quality-of-life score significantly improved in the DA-9701-treated group compared with the placebo-treated group after 4weeks (adjusted P = 0.012 by linear mixed effect model analysis). The overall gastrointestinal symptom and dyspepsia sum scores improved at 12?weeks after intervention in the DA-9701-first treated group (adjusted P = 0.002 and 0.014, respectively) and also in the placebo-first treated group (adjusted P = 0.019 and 0.039) compared with the baseline. Parkinsonian motor severity was not significantly affected by DA-9701 treatment in both groups at 4 and 12?weeks after intervention. There were no drug-related serious adverse events throughout the trial.ConclusionsDA-9701 therapy improved gastrointestinal symptom-related quality of life, and 12?weeks of daily administration can relieve the overall severity of gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease without affecting motor symptoms.

Project description:BackgroundMild cognitive impairment (MCI) is considered an intermediate phase between normal aging and dementia. As the majority of cases of amnestic MCI (aMCI) progress to Alzheimer's disease (AD), it is considered the prodromal stage of AD, and a treatment target for prevention of further cognitive decline. However, no medications have been shown to have symptomatic or preventive benefits in MCI. Kami-guibi-tang (KGT) is a traditional herbal formula used in Korean medicine to treat amnesia, which is reported to increase acetylcholine levels via activation of choline acetyltransferase. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of KGT in patients with aMCI.MethodsThis study was designed as a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study. Participants diagnosed with aMCI were randomized to receive either KGT or placebo granules for 24 weeks. The efficacy measure was a change in the Seoul Neuropsychological Screening Battery (SNSB) score. The safety measures included the occurrence of adverse events and abnormalities in vital signs and blood chemistry, electrocardiogram (ECG), and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings.ResultsA total of 16 patients in the KGT group and 14 patients in the placebo group were investigated in the study. The mean score of Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) significantly improved from 1.53 (0.64) points to 1.13 (0.62) points in the KGT group (p = 0.010), whereas it worsened from 1.61 (0.88) points to 1.75 (0.94) points in the placebo group. There was a significant difference in the CDR-SB scores between the two groups after the intervention (p = 0.045). The total SNSB-D scores and the scores in the memory domain after the treatment were significantly higher than the baseline values in the KGT group, but not in the placebo group. The frequency of adverse events was not significantly different between the two groups, and there were no abnormalities in vital signs or blood test, ECG, and brain MRI findings after the intervention.ConclusionsKGT may provide a safe and effective treatment option for patients with aMCI. Further studies with a larger sample size are needed to validate the findings.Trial registrationKorean Clinical Trial Registry, ID: KCT0002407; Registered on March 30, 2017, http://cris.nih.go.kr/.
