New GERD drug shows promise in major trial
NCT ID NCT07037875
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a new medication, linaprazan glurate, to see if it heals esophagus damage from acid reflux better than a standard drug. About 500 adults with erosive esophagitis will take either the new drug or lansoprazole daily for up to 8 weeks. Doctors will use cameras to check healing and track symptoms.

History or presence of any clinically significant cardiovascular, respiratory, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal (GI), endocrine, hematological, neurological disease or disorder, or psychiatric diagnosis which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may either put the participant at risk because of participation in the study, or influence the study results or the participant's ability to participate in the study. The following examples are conditions that would exclude the patient from participating: 1. History of myocardial infarction/acute coronary syndrome within 3 months prior to Screening. 2. History of ventricular arrhythmia or implanted cardioverter defibrillator. 3. Symptomatic congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association class 3-4). 4.
