Title

Comparison of Nexium Versus Secretol in the Healing and Controlling of Symptoms in GERD Patients With Severe EE.
Comparison of Nexium Versus Secretol in the Healing and Controlling of Symptoms in Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease(GERD)Patients With Severe Erosive Esophagitis(EE).
  • Phase

    Phase 1/Phase 2
  • Study Type

    Interventional
  • Status

    Unknown status
  • Study Participants

    40
To compare the complete healing of erosive esophagitis(EE) after 3 weeks of treatment with Secretol 80/80 versus Nexium 40 mg daily.
We hypothesize that Secretol 80/80 daily will demonstrate better efficacy than Nexium 40 mg daily in healing erosive esophagitis(EE)and controlling gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD)related symptoms after 3 weeks of treatment.In addition, Secretol 80/80 daily will have a faster effect on the aforementioned clinical parameters but a similar safety profile.
