Scientific titleA randomized controlled trial of laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication versus proton pump inhibitors for the treatment of patients with chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): 3-year outcomes.
Study acronymELVIS (oEsophagitis - Laparoscopy Versus Inhibitors of Secretion)
Study objectives1. Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication (LNF) is an effective intervention in the management of patients with chronic Gastro-oEsophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) requiring maintenance therapy
2. LNF is cost-effective compared with long-term medical therapy
3. LNF is more effective than maximum medical therapy in control of respiratory symptoms and complications of GERD
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval received from Research Ethics Board of St Joseph's Hospital on the 30th March 2000.
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedGastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
InterventionOptimal medical therapy compared with anti reflux surgery - Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication (LNF).
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Omeprazole
Primary outcome measureGERD Symptom Scale and Symptom-free days
Secondary outcome measures1. 24-hour pH
