About this study

The present study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) that examines if the outcome of peptic ulcer bleeding could be improved by use of doppler-guided endoscopic treatment.

Read the detailed description

This study evaluates if performance of a control endoscopy with doppler-guided endoscopic treatment is associated with an improved outcome in term of lower rate of rebleeding and lower rate of bleeding-related mortality. A potential risk of increased risk of complications (in particular perforation) among patients treated with control endoscopy is also evaluated. Outcomes are prospectively registered based on patient records.

Being tested
Supplementary endoscopy with doppler-guided therapy, IV. PPI, Endoscopic treatment at primary endoscopy
Medical subject headings
Peptic Ulcer Hemorrhage

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Supplementary endoscopy with doppler-guided therapyDevice

    Patients randomized to supplementary doppler-guided therapy undergo repeat endoscopy with doppler evaluation within 24 hours from the primary endoscopy. At the control endoscopy the ulcer base is examined using a doppler device. If active doppler flow is demonstrated the ulcer is treated with a thermal probe until a control doppler-scan is negative. All patients are observed for rebleeding at a specialized GI-bleeding unit.

  • IV. PPIDrug

    All patients receive 80mg of Esomeprazole iv as a bolus followed by 8mg Esomeprazole per hour for 72 hours.

  • Endoscopic treatment at primary endoscopyOther

    All patients are initially treated with endoscopic therapy using a minimum of two different treatment modalities. The primary endoscopy is performed wihtin 24 hours from time of admission to hospital

What is being measured

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

  1. Rebleeding

    Number of participants who develop symptoms of rebleeding combined with a significant drop in systolic blood pressure, or B-haemoglobin, or confirmation of stigmata of bleeding at repeat endoscopy/angiography/surgery.

    Measured: 1 week

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Bleeding-related mortality

    Number of participants who die within 30 days from primary endoscopy because of severe rebleeding.

    Measured: 1 month

  2. Complications to endoscopic therapy

    Number of participants who develop complications to applied endoscopic therapy.

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Supplementary endoscopy with doppler-guided therapy, IV. PPI and Endoscopic treatment at primary endoscopy in people with Peptic Ulcer Bleeding, run by Odense University Hospital at 2 sites in Denmark.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Denmark. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

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?

Contact Stig Laursen, MD PhD (+45 30207859, stig.laursen@rsyd.dk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rebleeding (time frame: 1 week). 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 20 Apr 2017.
