Endoscopic Evidence of Maintenance of Healing With Oral NEXIUM in Patients 1 to 11 Years Old With Erosive Esophagitis.
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.
Study details:
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.
Eligibility criteria
Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. See if you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Patient must be 1 to 11 years of age

- For the maintenance phase: Patients must have completed the healing phase and have endoscopy-verified healed EE at the 8-week endoscopy visit.
- Patients must weigh ≥ 10 kg.
- Patients may be male or female.
- All postmenarcheal female patients must have a negative pregnancy test (urine) before starting treatment.
- Sexually active patients must be abstinent or maintain effective contraception from informed consent day up to the last day of study intervention.

Exclusion criteria
- Presence of other diseases, such as severe heart, lung, liver, renal, blood, or neurological disease or similar
- Significant clinical illness within 4 weeks prior to the start of treatment
- Any conditions that are predicted to require a surgery during the study period (from the day of informed consent to the day of the last scheduled visit)
- Previous total gastrectomy
- Anticipated need for concomitant therapy with PPIs (except for the IMPs), H2-receptor antagonists and other drugs outlined in EC#5 after enrollment in this study
- Participation in another clinical study with an IMP administered in the last 4 weeks before enrollment.
- Patients with a known hypersensitivity to NEXIUM, or any other PPI, or any of the excipients of the product
- Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study (applies to both AstraZeneca staff and/or staff at the study site).
- Judgment by the Investigator that the patient should not participate in the study if the patient or guardian is unlikely to comply with study procedures, restrictions, and requirements
- Previous screening, or enrollment and randomization in the present study
