简要总结
The aim of the study is to compare the safety and efficacy of two doses of Nexium in maintaining healing of erosive esophagitis in patients 1 to 11 years of age.
详细描述
Esomeprazole (NEXIUM™) is indicated for the maintenance of healing of endoscopy-verified erosive esophagitis (EE) in children 1 to 11 years of age in a number of countries worldwide, but not in the United States (US). The current study has been designed, in discussions with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), to further evaluate the safety and efficacy of NEXIUM given as maintenance of healing of EE in children 1 to 11 years of age
Safety assessments will include the monitoring of adverse events throughout the study, clinical laboratory testing (including hematology, clinical chemistry, urinalysis), vital signs (including blood pressure and pulse), and physical examination including weight.
