Study summary

The goal of this study is to "To compare the efficacy and safety of Acotiamide versus Itopride in patient with post prandial distress syndrome type of functional dyspepsia"

Read the detailed description

Investigator is aiming to conduct an Open-label, comparative randomized controlled, parallel, two-arms, multi-center study.

Primary Outcomes:

  • Difference in overall treatment effect between both groups by using Leuven Postprandial Distress Scale (LPDS) in 8 weeks from the baseline

Secondary Outcomes:

  • Difference between both groups in symptoms of Postprandial Distress Syndrome (PDS) (including early satiety, abdominal bloating, postprandial fullness) by using Leuven Postprandial Distress Scale (LPDS)
  • Difference between both groups in quality of life by using short form Nepean Dyspepsia Index (SF-NDI) from baseline
  • Frequency of adverse events, serious adverse events and tolerability in both groups

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Difference in overall treatment effect between both groups by using Leuven Postprandial Distress Scale in 8 weeks

    Overall treatment effect will be assessed using the Leeds Postprandial Distress Scale, with change in total score from baseline before initiation of treatment end of treatment. The decreased score representing the treatment response.

    Time frame: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Difference between both groups in symptoms of Postprandial Distress Syndrome (PDS) (including early satiety, abdominal bloating, postprandial fullness) by using Leuven Postprandial Distress Scale

    All the symptoms of PDDS will be assessed by using the Leeds Postprandial Distress Scale (LPDS), with change in total score from baseline before treatment initiation to end of treatment going downwards representing the treatment response.

    Time frame: 8 weeks

  2. Difference between both groups in quality of life by using short form Nepean Dyspepsia Index scale

    Quality of life will be assessed using the Nepean Dyspepsia Index, defined as the change in total score from baseline to the end of the treatment with lower scores indicating improvement

    Time frame: 8 weeks

  3. Frequency of adverse events, serious adverse events and tolerability in both groups

    Frequency of adverse events will be assessed through a patient diary maintained throughout the study, with entries reviewed at each visit

    Time frame: 8 weeks
