First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 02, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study tests whether fosamprenavir, an FDA-approved HIV medication, can treat laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) — a condition causing chronic cough, hoarseness, and throat clearing. About 104 adults with LPR who did not improve with standard acid-reducing therapy will receive either the drug or a placebo for 12 weeks. The goal is to see if blocking a digestive enzyme called pepsin can relieve symptoms and prevent throat damage.
