Can a new pill prevent esophageal damage from returning?
NCT ID NCT07732075
First seen Jul 28, 2026 · Last updated Jul 29, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether an experimental drug called JP-1366 can prevent the return of erosive esophagitis in people whose condition has already healed. About 384 adults aged 19 to 75 will take either JP-1366 or the standard drug lansoprazole daily for 24 weeks. The goal is to see if JP-1366 is as effective as lansoprazole at keeping the esophagus healed.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- an experimental drug called JP-1366
- What this could lead to
- If effective, JP-1366 could offer a new maintenance option to prevent the return of esophageal damage in people with healed erosive esophagitis.
- What could go wrong
- This is a phase 3 non-inferiority trial, so JP-1366 may not prove better than the existing drug lansoprazole. Side effects and long-term safety are still being evaluated.
