European study to find out whether 4 different protein sources affect the rate of gastric emptying and electrofysiology in this group of children.The protein composition of nutrition may affect the rate of gastric emptying and gastric fysiology. This is especially important in children with neurologic impariment, who commonly rely on tube feedings, have feeding problems, nausea, vomiting, gastroesophageal reflux and delayed gastric emptying.

National Library of Medicine PubMed.gov Abstract of 2004 study relating to Gastric emptying in children with cerebral palsy and gastroesophageal reflux

Ongoing study sponsored by the University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston to evaluate the efficacy of fundoplication in premature infants with GERD and BPD.

Compare the percent of subjects with moderate/severe esophagitis who achieve complete endoscopic resolution after 8 weeks of treatment morning vs. bedtime

The purpose of this study is to provide additional information on safety and tolerability after multiple does of pantoprazole in infants

Completed Japanese study examined the efficacy and safety of famotidine in subjects with non-erosive GERD.

NIH Article Abstract on a controlled study assessing feeding problems in infants with gastroesophageal reflux disease

Study designed to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of ilaprazole relative to that of esomeprazole in healing erosive esophagitis and resolving accompanying symptoms of GERD.

PubMed Abstract regarding Oral motor dysfunction, feeding problems and nutritional status in children with cerebral palsy

London study to determine if acupuncture helps delayed gastric emptying

Completed study comparing the blood drug levels of two prescribed medications, Immediate-release omeprazole 40 mg powder and delayed-release omeprazole 40 mg capsule to determine which drug is better absorbed in patients with a slow stomach emptying (gastroparesis). Delayed-release omeprazole has a protective coating to prevent the drug omeprazole from being neutralized by stomach acid. Immediate-release omeprazole has sodium bicarbonate (antacid) which neutralizes the stomach acid, eliminating the need for a protective coating. Immediate-release omeprazole suspension may have a more rapid pharmacokinetic profile and greater overall drug absorption in gastroparesis.

Completed study sponsored by University Hospital, Ghent assessing Pharmacokinetics of Enteral Omeprazole Suspension in Patients With Cerebral Palsy and Mental Retardation. Trial aims to compare the pharmacokinetics of omeprazole administered through the gastrostomy tube as a suspension in pediatric patients with cerebral palsy and mental retardation versus the pharmacokinetics of omeprazole administered as a multi-unit-pellet system (MUPS®).
