简要总结
The EndoStim LES Stimulation System is an investigational device intended to improve the LES pressure and restore Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES) function in individuals suffering from Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).
详细描述
EndoStim has developed an investigational medical device specifically designed to deliver electrical stimulation to the LES and has completed two clinical feasibility studies using an external version of the EndoStim stimulation system in fifteen subjects. In these two short-term studies, electrical stimulation resulted in significant increases in LES pressure.
This study will further evaluate the safety of the procedure and its feasibility for use in this group of patients.

- •Subject has exhibited excessive lower esophageal acid exposure during 24-hour pHmetry of antisecretory therapy performed within 6 months of screening visit; pH < 4 for > 5% of total time.
- •Subject has a resting LES end expiratory pressure > 5mm Hg and < 15 mm Hg on a high resolution manometry within 6 months of enrollment.
- •Subject has esophagitis ≤ Grade C (LA classification) on upper endoscopy within 6 months of enrollment.
- •Subject has esophageal body contraction amplitude > 30 mmHg for > 50% of swallows and > 50% peristaltic contractions on high resolution manometry.
- •Subject has signed the informed consent form and is able to adhere to study visit schedule.
排除标准

结局指标
主要结局
Incidence and severity of adverse events
时间窗: 24 months
Safety will be assessed by incidence and severity of adverse events through 24 months of follow-up.
次要结局
- Change in GERD-HRQL(Change in GERD-HRQL and RDQ questionnaire score when available from baseline (as measured off PPI) to 1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. Heartburn and regurgitation scores will be calculated separately.)
- Change in GERD symptoms(Changes in GERD symptoms as measured by the patient daily symptom-diary at 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months Vs. baseline.)
- Change in LES pressure(Baseline LES end expiratory pressure (LESPpre) will be compared with the end expiratory pressure (LESPpost) at 3 and 6 months.)
- Change in GI symptoms(Symptoms will be compared between baseline (as measured while on and off PPI) to 1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months.)
- Change in esophageal acid exposure(Number of reflux events >5 minutes will be compared between baseline and 3, 6, 12 and 24 months.)
- Change in medication usage(The use of antisecretory medication will be compared between baseline and 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months.)
- Change in sleep-related quality of life(Baseline and 6, 12, and 24 months scores of Sleep quality questionnaire.)
- Change in work productivity(Baseline and 6, 12, and 24 months scores of Sleep quality and Work productivity questionnaires)
