General information about the trial
|
|||
Main objective of the trial |
Investigation of the efficacy and tolerability of St. Gero in the pre / post comparison.
Efficacy parameters:
-Therapeutic course based on the questionnaire data (questionnaires "Reflux Disease Questionnaire" (RDQ) / "Quality of Life in Reflux and Dyspepsia" (QOLRAD) / "Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index" (GLQI))
-Difference in the frequency of heartburn episodes per week
-Difference in the subjective perception of well-being (SF-12 questionnaire )
-Global assessment of efficacy by patient and investigator
Tolerability parameters:
-Adverse events (AEs)
-Difference in blood pressure/heart rate
-Differences in safety laboratory parameters
-Global assessment of tolerability by patient and investigator
|
||
Protection of trial subjects |
The investigators ensured that the subjects were given full and adequate oral and written information (subject information) about the nature, purpose, consequences and possible risk of the clinical study. The subjects were given the opportunity to ask questions and were allowed sufficient time to consider the information provided. Subjects provided informed consent before the conduct of any study specific procedure. The collected data were made available to the CRO and the study’s sponsor only in pseudonymous form, to minimize the chances of matching the data to an individual person.

Notes [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point. Justification: This was a pilot study with only one intervention arm, thus pre/post comparisons were performed in the statistical analysis. However, it is not possible to specify this using the available entry options, as an error warning comes up stating the at least two groups need to be compared. |
