Trial summary

A large dose of PPI is effective in preventing peptic ulcer rebleeding. The investigators hypothesize that 40 mg/q6h pantoloc is equivalent to 8mg/h pantoloc in preventing rebleeding. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase 4 Study of Intravenous Proton Pump Inhibitor in Patients With Peptic Ulcer Bleeding After Successful Endoscopic Therapy- a Prospective Randomized Comparative Trial

A large dose of PPI is effective in preventing peptic ulcer rebleeding. The investigators hypothesize that 40 mg/q6h pantoloc is equivalent to 8mg/h pantoloc in preventing rebleeding.

Read the detailed description

A bleeding peptic ulcer remains a serious medical problem with significant morbidity and mortality. Endoscopic therapy significantly reduces further bleeding, surgery, and mortality in patients with bleeding peptic ulcers and is now recommended as the first hemostatic modality for these patients.

In the past few years, adjuvant use of a high-dose proton pump inhibitor (PPI) after endoscopic therapy has been endorsed in some studies, two consensus statements and two meta-analysis. In our previous experience, we used omeprazole 160 mg /day infusion instead of 8 mg/h in these patients and obtained a good result .

The objectives of this study are to assess the outcomes of two different regimens of high dose of intravenous pantoprazole after endoscopic therapy in patients with peptic ulcer bleeding.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The primary end point was recurrent bleeding before discharge and within 14 days.

    Measured: About one year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. At day 14, volume of blood transfused, number of surgeries performed, and the mortality rates of the two groups are compared.

    Measured: about one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing pantoprazole in people with Peptic Ulcer Hemorrhage, run by Lotung Poh-Ai Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 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 7 Apr 2009. 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 Taiwan. 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 primary end point was recurrent bleeding before discharge and within 14 days. (time frame: About one year). 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 7 Apr 2009.
