Trial summary

Endoscopic treatment of bleeding peptic ulcers is effective to prevent rebleeding. Adjuvant medical treatment to increase gastric pH may further decrease rebleeding. Recent studies on potent acid suppression by proton pump inhibitors (PPI) demonstrated the efficacy in preventing rebleeding. Read more about this study

About this study

Endoscopic treatment of bleeding peptic ulcers is effective to prevent rebleeding. Adjuvant medical treatment to increase gastric pH may further decrease rebleeding. Recent studies on potent acid suppression by proton pump inhibitors (PPI) demonstrated the efficacy in preventing rebleeding. Lau demonstrated that high dose intravenous infusion of omeprazole decreased rebleeding in peptic ulcers with stigmata of recent hemorrhage.

There is little data regarding the effect of pantoprazole on bleeding peptic ulcers. Furthermore, the optimal dose of PPI is unknown. Few studies have included measurement of gastric pH in addition to clinical outcome.

This study compares the effect of two doses of intravenous pantoprazole with no acid suppression in bleeding peptic ulcers after endoscopic therapy. In addition to the usual clinical endpoints, gastric pH is monitored to study the relation of pH elevation and the clinical outcome.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing pantoprazole infusion, pantoprazole bolus and no treatment in people with Peptic Ulcer Hemorrhage, run by Kwong Wah Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 1 inclusion and 3 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 19 Jan 2006. 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 China. 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?

Rebleeding rate within 30 days after endoscopic therapy. 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 19 Jan 2006.
