Controlled trials in gastrodyspepsia: a methodological aspect.

    Summary

    A novel multi cross-over model (MCO-model) effectively identifies individual drug responders for non-ulcer dyspepsia (NUD). This method suggests cimetidine responders may have reflux esophagitis symptoms rather than acid hypersecretion.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Clinical Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Non-ulcer dyspepsia (NUD) presents diagnostic challenges for conventional randomized controlled trials.
    • A need exists for methods to identify individual drug responses in NUD patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of a multi cross-over model (MCO-model) for identifying individual drug responders in non-ulcer dyspepsia (NUD).
    • To assess the characteristics of cimetidine responders in NUD patients.

    Main Methods:

    • A multi cross-over (MCO) model was employed, involving alternating periods of active drug and placebo.
    • Patient response was evaluated using an X-score, quantifying symptom improvement during active drug vs. placebo periods.
    • A variant of the MCO-model with 6 treatment periods (2 or 4 days each) was used to study cimetidine's effect in NUD.

    Main Results:

    • The MCO-model demonstrated capability in identifying individual cimetidine responders among NUD patients.
    • Preliminary data indicate that NUD patients responding to cimetidine may exhibit symptoms indicative of reflux esophagitis.
    • These responders were less characterized by acid hypersecretion.

    Conclusions:

    • The MCO-model is a viable approach for identifying individual drug responders in non-ulcer dyspepsia.
    • Cimetidine's efficacy in NUD may be linked to symptom profiles suggesting reflux esophagitis, not solely acid levels.
