About this study

Official title: Effect of Prevacid on Prostaglandin Levels in the Gastric Mucosa of Patients With Stress Ulcer

The purpose of this study is to measure the prostaglandin levels in patients with stress ulcer and the effect of Prevacid on prostaglandin levels in patients with stress ulcer.

Read the detailed description

The prostaglandin system plays an important role in the gastric mucosa to strengthen its resistance against injury. Critically ill patients are at greatest risk of developing stress-related gastric mucosal lesions. Although the levels of prostaglandins in gastric mucosa in patients with stressed animal has been studied, prostaglandin levels in the gastric mucosa in patients with stress ulcer have not been studied and the effect of Prevacid on prostaglandin levels in gastric mucosa from patients with stress ulcer is unknown.

We hypothesize that prostaglandin levels are low in the gastric mucosa in patients with stress ulcer, and Prevacid is an effective agents in increasing prostaglandin levels in the gastric mucosa in stress stress ulcer.

Comparison(s): The prostaglandin levels in patients who treated with Prevacid for stress ulcer, compared to the prostaglandin levels in patients who treated with H2 blocker for stress ulcer.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Prevacid in people with Stomach Ulcer, run by Emory University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jul 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the effect of Prevacid on prostaglandin levels at 8 weeks (time frame: 8 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Jul 2013.
