A Multi-center, Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel-group, Placebo Controlled Phase III Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of LXI-15028 in Non-erosive Reflux Disease in Chinese Patients for 4 Weeks
- Registration Number
- NCT03591653
- Brief Summary
This is one multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo controlled Phase III clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LXI-15028 50 mg in treatment of non-erosive reflux disease in Chinese patients for 4 weeks.
Screening-eligible subjects will be randomized into LXI-15028 50mg group or placebo group at Visit 2 (Day 0) according to the ratio of 1:1 and receive study treatment for 4 weeks. They will start to take the investigational products in the following morning of Visit 2 (Day 1) and start to complete the subject's diary from the day of study treatment initiation. After 2 weeks of study treatment, subjects will return to the study site and complete Visit 3, after which receive study treatment for another 2 weeks and then complete Visit 4. On the day of Visit 4, subjects will not take any drug. All the subjects will be followed up by phone (Visit 5) at Day 28±3 after the last dose of study medication.

- Women under medically sterile state can participate in this study, for example, postmenopausal state (spontaneous amenorrhea at least for 12 months), post hysterectomy, post bilateral salpingectomy and post bilateral oophorectomy;
- Appropriate medical contraceptive measures include intrauterine device, physical barrier (male condom, female condom), subcutaneous implant, sustained release contraceptive injection, bilateral salpingectomy and bilateral vasoligation. Note: Use of oral contraceptives is not allowed during the course of study, and dual contraceptive methods are recommended, as to ensure no occurrence of pregnancy during the course of study.

Participation in other clinical study within 3 months prior to screening, except for the two following circumstances:
- The study which the subject is participating or participated in is a non-interventional study (e.g. observational study or questionnaire survey) and is judged by investigators to have no interference with the efficacy and safety evaluation in the present study;
- Subject had signed the informed consent form and participated in another study (NC821602) sponsored by this sponsor in the same study site, but had been withdrawn from that study prior to the start of any treatment.

-
Subject who has symptoms such as odynophagia, serious dysphagia, bleeding, decreased body weight, anemia or hematochezia that represent "warning" to presume gastrointestinal malignant disease, unless the possibility of the malignant disease is excluded through an endoscopy.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Resolution of main symptoms 4 weeks after receiving oral doses Resolution rate of main symptoms (heartburn, regurgitation) at Week 4: percentage of patients with complete resolution of main symptoms (for consecutive 7 days) at Week 4. Note: At Week 4, Reflux Disease Questionnaire (RDQ) (item a, b, e, f) is used to evaluate all main symptoms during previous consecutive 7 days. Complete resolution is defined as the main symptoms are completely resolved and do not occur.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Resolution of main symptoms 2 week after receiving oral doses Resolution rate of main symptoms (heartburn, regurgitation) at Week 2: percentage of patients with complete resolution of main symptoms (for consecutive 7 days) at Week 2. The main symptoms are evaluated using RDQ.
Symptom improvement 4 weeks after receiving oral doses Change of Reflux Disease Questionnaire (RDQ) score (including severity score and frequency score) of each post-treatment visit from baseline;Symptom assessment based on subject diary;
Life quality improvement 4 weeks after receiving oral doses Change of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease-Health Related Quality of Life (GERD-HRQL) score of each post-treatment visit from baseline.
