Trial summary

Introduction: Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) is the drug of choice used in patients with non-variceal upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding (UGIB). Intravenous (IV) PPI is more commonly used than oral form when overt bleeding occurs. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Comparison of Oral Rabeprazole vs. Intravenous Omeprazole in the Treatment of Patients With Mild to Moderate Nonvariceal Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding

Introduction: Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) is the drug of choice used in patients with non-variceal upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding (UGIB). Intravenous (IV) PPI is more commonly used than oral form when overt bleeding occurs. Previous study has revealed that oral rabeprazole and IV omeprazole achieved similar intragastric pH elevation. It's probable that oral form and IV PPI provide equal efficacy in treating mild to moderate UGIB patients.

Aim: This study aims to compare the effect of three-day oral rabeprazole and iv omeprazole on bleeding control in patients with mild to moderate non-variceal UGIB.

Patients and methods: All patients presented with black to tarry stool passage or hematemesis and visited our ER will be evaluated to recruit into this study. They will receive regular vital sign monitoring, laboratory study and nasogastric tube insertion with gastric fluid aspiration. Esophagogastroendoscopy and hemostatic procedure if need will be performed within 12 hours. Those confirmed to have non-variceal UGIB, stable vital signs and agree to participate into this study will be randomized into two groups receiving either oral rabeprazole (20mg bid) or iv omeprazole (40mg qd) for three days. The presence of recurrent bleeding within three days, in-hospital complication and duration of hospital stay will be recorded and analyzed.

Expected results: At the end of this study, we will be able to determine whether patients treated with oral rabeprazole and iv omeprazole have similar re-bleeding or complication rates and hospitalization days.

Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) is the drug of choice used in patients with non-variceal upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding (UGIB). Intravenous (IV) PPI is more commonly used than oral form when overt bleeding occurs. Previous study has revealed that oral rabeprazole and IV omeprazole achieved similar intragastric pH elevation. It's probable that oral form and IV PPI provide equal efficacy in treating mild to moderate UGIB patients.

This study aims to compare the effect of three-day oral rabeprazole and iv omeprazole on bleeding control in patients with mild to moderate non-variceal UGIB. The expected numbers of intravenous and oral PPI were 100 respectively.

All patients presented with black to tarry stool passage or hematemesis and visited our ER will be evaluated to recruit into this study. They will receive regular vital sign monitoring, laboratory study and nasogastric tube insertion with gastric fluid aspiration. Esophagogastroendoscopy and hemostatic procedure if need will be performed within 12 hours. Those confirmed to have non-variceal UGIB, stable vital signs and agree to participate into this study will be randomized into two groups receiving either oral rabeprazole (20mg bid) or iv omeprazole (40mg qd) for three days. The presence of recurrent bleeding within three days, in-hospital complication and duration of hospital stay will be recorded and analyzed.

At the end of this study, we will be able to determine whether patients treated with oral rabeprazole and iv pantoprazole have similar re-bleeding or complication rates and hospitalization days.

A Phase 4 study testing Intravenous Omeprazole and Oral Rabeprazole in people with Nonvariceal Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding, run by Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial 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.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

What does the primary outcome measure?

This study aims to compare the effect of three-day oral rabeprazole and iv omeprazole on bleeding control in patients with mild to moderate non-variceal UGIB. (time frame: one year later). 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 15 Jul 2009.
