About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Proton Pump Inhibitor in Prevention of Clopidogrel-related Peptic Ulcer and Gastrointestinal Bleeding

Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI) can prevent the recurrence of peptic ulcer in clopidogrel users.

Read the detailed description

The aim of the prospective, randomized study is to investigate the efficacy of PPI in prevention of ulcer recurrence for clopidogrel users. We plan to enroll 300 clopidogrel users without baseline gastroduodenal ulcer at initial endoscopy. The patients will be randomly assigned to receive either (1) esomeprazole (20 mg qd) plus clopidogrel or (2) clopidogrel treatment alone for 6 months. The ulcer recurrence rate between the treatment groups will be compared.

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 1 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 9 Sep 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Feb 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Recurrent Peptic Ulcer (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01138969, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 9 Sep 2015.
