About this study
Official title: Effect of Intravenous Esomeprazole Versus Cimetidine in Prevention of Stress Ulcer Prophylaxis in Chinese Seriously Ill Patients - a Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel-group Study
The efficacy of esomeprazole will be compared versus cimetidine (a drug that previously demonstrated prevention of bleeding events) during treatment period in proportion of patients for the prevention of upper GI bleeding.
Read the detailed description
Stress related upper Gastrointestinal (GI) bleedings are important events associated with morbidity and mortality among seriously ill patients. Data from the literature suggest that stress ulcer prevention with effective acid suppressive treatment can reduce bleeding events and is thus an important therapy in high-risk patients. Esomeprazole has the potential to reduce gastric acidity for prolonged periods of time adequate for both preventing mucosal damage and facilitating coagulation. This study is to reveal whether intravenous (iv) esomeprazole is effective in preventing upper gastrointestinal bleeding and if it is tolerated by Chinese seriously ill patients.

- Stress Ulcer Prophylaxis

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The Percent of Patients With Clinically Significant Upper-GI Bleeding During the Treatment Evaluation Phase
Criteria for a clinically significant upper GI bleeding as:
- Bright red blood per NG or OG tube that did not clear after NG or OG tube adjustment and 5 to 10 minutes of at least 100 ml lavage with room temperature normal saline-or,
- Persistent gastroccult- positive coffee ground material
During IMP treatment Day 1-2:
Persistent gastroccult- positive coffee ground material for at least eight consecutive hours that did not clear with at least 100 ml of lavage with room temperature normal saline.
During IMP treatment Day 3-14:
Persistent gastroccult- positive coffee ground material in at least three consecutive gastric aspirates within 2 to 4 hours (at least 60 ±20 minutes apart), that did not clear with at least 100 ml of lavage with room temperature normal saline.
Measured: 1-14 days
Secondary outcomes (1)

Criteria for a non-significant upper GI bleeding as:

During IMP treatment Day 3-14: Persistent gastroccult - positive coffee ground material in less than three consecutive gastric aspirates within 2 to 4 hours (at least 60±20 minutes apart), or that clear with at least 100 ml of lavage with room temperature normal saline or,
- Any clinical signs of hematemesis or melena or haematochezia judged (by the Investigator) to be from an upper GI source.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Esomeprazole and Cimetidine in people with Stress Ulcer Prophylaxis, run by AstraZeneca at 15 sites 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 3 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 10 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 15 sites 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
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 23 Jan 2017). 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?
The Percent of Patients With Clinically Significant Upper-GI Bleeding During the Treatment Evaluation Phase (time frame: 1-14 days). 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 NCT02157376, 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 10 Mar 2017.
