ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2004

750 participants

Abstract

A study to look at the rates of remission (non re-appearance of erosive esomeprazole) when treated with esomeprazole or lansoprazole; in patients in with erosive esomeprazole (EE) that is in remission (i.e. previously healed EE).

Conditions: Erosive Esophagitis.

Primary outcome: To compare rates of remission (non re-appearance of erosive esomeprazole) when treated with esomeprazole or lansoprazole; in patients in with erosive esomeprazole (EE) that is in remission (i.e. previously healed EE)..

Enrollment: 750 participants.
