Background summary
Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common disease in infants between
0-2 years of age. GERD is diagnosed by a (golden standard). In case of GERD
these infants are treated with dompridone and omeprazole. Is is unclear however
if and to which degree these medicines and/or the combination of these
medicines have effect on the oesophageal refluxtime and duration (as measured
bij 24-h oesophageal pH monitoring). And what the effect is on the symptoms in
infants between 0-2 years of age with GERD. With this study we want to measure
the effect of medication on the symptoms of GERD in infants. Our hypothesis is
that the combination of omeprazole and domperidone has a positive effect on the
symptoms of GERD in infants between 0-2 years of age.
Study objective
To measure the effect of domperidone and omeprazole on reflux-time, duration,
and symptoms of GERD
Study design
Open randomised controlled trial
Intervention
One group uses 1 mg/kg domperidone suspension (4dd), one group uses 2-3 mg/kg
omeprazole mups (2dd) and one group with both domperidone and omeprazole.
Study burden and risks
Except for one extra 24-h oesophageal pH monitoring, this study results in no
extra burden to the patients. The burden of a 24-h oesophageal pH monitoring is
minimal, and there are no risks. We foresee no risks of the medicines that are
used in this study, because these are registered medicines that are used within
the indication range.
