Healing of Grade-II and III Oesophagitis through Motility Stimulation with Cisapride

Abstract: The clinical relevance of cispride’s stimulating effects on lower oesophageal motility was studied in 19 patients with documented (endoscopy, biopsy) grade II or III oesophagitis. Patients were treated for 8 or 16 weeks (depending essentially on whether the result was cure or failure) with 10 mg of cisapride four times a day (n = 11) or placebo (n = 8). Cisapride was superior to placebo with regard to mucosal healing (p < 0.001) and symptomatic improvement (p < 0.05): at the end of treatment, healing (grade 0)… Show more

“…can provide effective symptomatic relief and healing of esophagitis, with results comparable to cimetidine 400 mg q.i.d. or ranitidine 150 mg b.i.d., and superior to placebo (72)(73)(74). Combined therapy with cimetidine and either metoclopramide (10 mg q.i.d.)…”

Several periods of interest were defined before analysisnamely, 24 …”

“…acidity and motility were monitored under ambulatory conditions for 24 hours on the fourth day oftreatment, after a wash out period of 10 days during which patients received only antacids for relief of symptoms. Acid reflux was monitored by a pH electrode located 5 cm above the lower oesophageal sphincter.…”

“…Cisapride was shown to be superior to placebo (4,5) and comparable with cimetidine and ranitidine in producing endoscopically shown mucosal healing ( 6 8 ) . In one placebo-controlled trial in the USA, healing rates during treatment with cisapride were lower than those reported in Europe (9).…”
