Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This single-blind randomized control study will follow 142 subjects across 7 sites randomized on a 1:1 ratio to compare treatment efficacy and safety between TIF and LNF in GERD patients with hiatal hernia undergoing hernia repair.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Procedure: LAPAROSCOPIC PARAESOPHAGEAL HIATAL HERNIA REPAIR COMBINED WITH TRANSORAL INCISIONLESS FUNDOPLICATION
N/A

Study Design

Study Type:
Interventional
Anticipated Enrollment :
142 participants
Allocation:
Randomized
Intervention Model:
Single Group Assignment
Masking:
Single (Participant)
Masking Description:
Measures will be taken to minimize or avoid bias in the study "masking/blinding procedures." Neither treatment groups will be advised as to which procedure (TIF or LNF) they will be receiving. Randomization assignment will be recorded in the EDC and subject tracking, but will not be recorded within the EMR to reduce clinical team exposure to their randomized status for follow-up care. Research teams will not be blinded to the randomization results.
Primary Purpose:

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Mean difference in HRQL score ≤ 15% [6 months]

      Hypothesis: TIF is non-inferior to LNF as measured by quality of life at 6 months post-procedure using the Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease-Health-Related Quality of Life (GERD-HRQL) score. GERD-HRQL Scoring Total Score: Calculated by summing the individual scores to questions 1-15. Greatest possible score (worst symptoms) = 75 Lowest possible score (no symptoms) = 0 Heartburn Score: Calculated by summing the individual scores to questions 1-6 . Worst heartburn symptoms = 30 No heartburn symptoms = 0 Scores of ≤ 12 with each individual question not exceeding 2 indicate heartburn elimination. Regurgitation Score: Calculated by summing the individual scores to questions 10-15. Worst regurgitation symptoms = 30 No regurgitation symptoms = 0 Scores of ≤ 12 with each individual question not exceeding 2 indicate regurgitation elimination.
