Actual (reported)Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common chronic condition, affecting approximately 20% of the American adult population. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are now the mainstay of medical therapy for symptoms of GERD. Despite their efficacy, several studies have shown that a significant proportion of GERD patients are either partial or non-responders to PPI therapy, defined as symptoms of heartburn and/or regurgitation not relieved by either a standard or double dose of a PPI during a minimum trial of 8 weeks. If GERD symptoms persist, further testing is required. This study will mirror the real world setting to assess the value of published guidelines which recommend specific testing and treatment.

Actual (reported)Objectively evaluate PPI non-responder
Number of participants with unproven GERD who have reflux esophagitis and eosinophile esophagitis
8 Weeks after visit 2
Esophageal acid exposure
Number and extent of abnormal acid exposure as measured by pH-metry (Bravo capsule) off PPI.
8 Weeks after visit 2
Response to different PPI
Percentage of patients with GERD who fail standard PPI Therapy as documented by wireless pH capsule testing that then respond to an alternative PPI
8 Weeks after visit 2
Document the amount of esophageal acid and non-acid exposure in the PPI non-responder patient with proven GERD
Amount of acid and non-acid exposure in PPI-nonresponder patients with proven GERD as measured by impedance-pH testing on daily PPI therapy.
8 Weeks after visit 2
Determine the type, frequency and extent of esophageal motility disorders
Determine the type, frequency and extent of esophageal motility disorders using HREM (high resolution esophageal manometry) in patients with persistent GERD symptoms despite PPI therapy
Subjects with no prior testing, normal prior EGD or prior LA Grade A esophagitis
LA Grade B-D esophagitis, long-segment Barrett's, prior positive pH study
Stop PPI and schedule for EGD with biopsy and Wireless pH capsule testing for 7-10 days later. Consider gastric emptying scan or high resolution esophageal manometry
Continue PPI and schedule EGD and Impedance-pH study on PPI. Consider gastric emptying scan or high resolution esophageal manometry
Patients with persistent GERD symptoms despite treatment with a minimum of 8 weeks daily PPI.
