Registered outcomes9

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryEfficacy of Three Strategies of Long-term Treatment16 weeks
Percentage of failure of maintenance treatment between V2 (4 weeks) and V3 (16 weeks) evaluated by the patient, defined based on responses to 2 questions (if at least 1 negative response was given, the patient was considered to be in failure) : Did the treatment produce sufficient control of reflux symptoms? Do you wish to continue the treatment?
SecondaryDifference in Symptom Severity Evaluation Performed by the Investigators, When Symptom Severity is Assessed With and Without Reflux Disease Questionnaire (RDQ).4 weeks
Total percentage of subjects for whom evaluation of symptom severity using the Reflux Disease Questionnaire (RDQ) is different, either positively or negatively, as compared to clinical judgment made by Investigator. The RDQ Includes 12 Items: 6 Concern the Frequency of Symptoms Ranging From "Never" for the Lowest Frequency to "Every Day" for the Highest, 6 Others Assess the Severity of Symptoms From "Not at All" to "Strong". The Total Score of the RDQ, Ranging From 0 to 40, is Obtained by Adding the Scores of Each Item.
SecondaryImpact of Treatment With Low Dose Aspirin (Acetyl Salicylic Acid) Used Concomitantly During the Initial Phase and the Maintenance Phase4 weeksNo possibility to describe as only 2 patients took ASA
Secondary
Differences Among Strategies of Maintenance Treatment for Satisfaction of the Patient, Using the GIS (Gord Impact Scale) Scale.(Change in Values of Score Derived From the GIS Questionnaire From V2 to V3 = Start to End of the Maintenance Phase)
4 to 16 weeksChange in values of upper digestive symptoms (GORD Impact Scale) from week 4 to week 16. Scale of 1 to 4 : 1 = every day, 2 = often, 3 = sometime, 4 = never)
SecondaryImpact of Anxiety and Depression During the Initial Visit Measured by the HADS ( Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) Questionnaire on Response to Initial Treatment and to Maintenance Treatment16 weeks
Failure of treatment (as defined as in primary outcome measure) according to confirmed anxiety and depression during maintenance treatment evaluated by the patient via the score of HADS questionnaire. HADS scale ranges= 0 to 21 (the higher score, the worse : ≤7 : no anxiety-depression/ \[8-10\] : possible anxiety-depression/ \>10 : anxiety-depression)
SecondaryNumber of Participants and Type of Serious Adverse Events and Adverse Events Leading to a Premature Discontinuation of the Study12 weeks - maintenance treatment phaseNumber of participants with serious adverse events and adverse events leading to study treatment discontinuation. AE and SAE as defined in ICH-GCP.

SecondaryScore Abacuses Based on the Reflux Disease Questionnaire (RDQ) QuestionnaireDay 0May be used to offer patients a strategy of treatment during the initial phase and in the long term. Not done
