Study summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare drug vonoprazan vs esomeprazole effectiveness to relieve early symptoms in Erosive Esophagitis Patients. It will also learn about the safety of both modalities. The main questions it aims to answer are:

How does the effectiveness of Vonoprazan compare with Esomeprazole in improving early symptoms of erosive esophagitis patients in the Indonesian population?

Researchers will compare drug vonoprazan to a esomeprazole with a look-alike packaging to see their effect to reduce early symptoms of erosive esophagitis.

Participants will:

  • Take drug vonoprazan 20mg or esomeprazole 40mg one time every day for 2 weeks
  • Visit the clinic once every weeks for followup (Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease-Quetionnaire measurement)
  • Keep a diary of their adverse effect occurence and every variable data based on Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease-Questionnaire.
Read the detailed description

Based on the calculation using the formula for comparing two population proportions, the minimum estimated sample size is 97 samples for each group. Considering a potential 10% drop-out rate, the estimated sample size increases to 108 samples per group. Therefore, the total minimum sample required for this study is 216 samples for both groups.

All the patients will screened using the Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease-Quetionnaire (6 questions, 4 answer options, covering the last 7 days) and collected through RedCap. After that all eligible patients will undergo endoscopic examination that performed by gastroenterology specialists or trained internists.

Included patients who consume any Proton Pump Inhibiotr or Potassium-competitive acid blockers within 2 weeks prior to this study will undergo wash-out period for 2 weeks. Patients are monitored weekly during the wash-out period. Medication reminders are sent via instant messaging at least twice per week. Adverse Event will be monitored by research assistants in coordination with the patient's primary physician.

All the data will analyzed blindly with Chi-square or Fisher's exact test for categorical data and logistic regression for confounding factors. At the end of the study, the pharmacy team will reveal the group allocation.

    Time frame: 14 days (two weeks)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants with Adverse Event

    Yes: nasopharyngitis, diarrhea, acute upper respiratory infection, lower back pain, constipation No: none of any

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 17, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
