A Phase 2/3 study testing 5 mg ilaprazole, 10 mg ilaprazole and 10 mg Rabeprazole in people with Duodenal Ulcer, run by Livzon Pharmaceutical Group Inc..
Trial summary
Patients with endoscopically diagnosed active duodenal ulcer disease were enrolled in a randomized, double-blind, parallel and dose-ranging trial. They were randomly assigned into three groups to be treated for up to four weeks and be seen at week 1, 2 and 4: three of ilaprazole, 5, 10 mg/day, and one of Rabeprazole… Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Ilaprazole for Acute Duodenal Ulcer: A Randomized,Double-Blind,Rabeprazole-Controlled,Multicenterand Phase3 Trial in China in China
Patients with endoscopically diagnosed active duodenal ulcer disease were enrolled in a randomized, double-blind, parallel and dose-ranging trial. They were randomly assigned into three groups to be treated for up to four weeks and be seen at week 1, 2 and 4: three of ilaprazole, 5, 10 mg/day, and one of Rabeprazole 10 mg/day as positive control. The primary endpoint was the ulcer healing rate at week 4. Healing of ulcer was determined by its resolution from active to scarring stage. Symptoms relief was evaluated as secondary end points by using a graded score. Safety and tolerability were evaluated on basis of clinical assessments.
Read the detailed description
The primary endpoint was the healing rate of ulcers, which based on post-treatment (week 4) endoscopic changes in stage of the ulcer relative to baseline (week 0) levels. Stages of the ulcers were endoscopically assessed according to the degree of ulceration, regenerating epithelialization, and scarring, which was defined as follows: A stage (active stage, A1 \& A2) where A1 stage is more severe than A2 stage, H stage (healing stage, H1 \& H2) where H2 stage is better than H1 stage, and S stage (scarring stage, S1 (red scar) \& S2 (white scar)) where S stage is the best stage in the three stages and S2 stage is better than S1.Healing of ulcer is deemed successful if an ulcer in A stage resolved to S stage at the end of the treatment period, regardless of S1 or S2. When endoscopy demonstrated successful ulcer healing, study medication was discontinued. Patients returned at week 2, and if unhealed further endoscopic assessment would be done at week 4. Secondary endpoints included post-treatment resolution of related gastrointestinal symptoms such as upper abdominal pain, heartburn, acid regurgitation, nausea \& vomiting, eructation, and increased flatus. These symptoms were recorded on a scale ranging from 0 to 3(0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe) at baseline, week 1, 2, and 4. Resolution of symptoms were defined as "excellence", "effective", "improved", or "ineffective" relative to baseline levels, of which complete symptom relief or complete absence of the symptom without recurrence was deemed as "excellence". Safety assessments based mainly on the occurrence, frequency, and severity of adverse events, which were monitored throughout the duration of the study, and also based on comprehensive indexes, including physical examination, electrocardiography, and routine laboratory investigations, which were performed at baseline and repeated at the end of the treatment period. For all adverse events, where necessary, patients were withdrawn from the study.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2/3 study testing 5 mg ilaprazole, 10 mg ilaprazole and 10 mg Rabeprazole in people with Duodenal Ulcer, run by Livzon Pharmaceutical Group Inc..
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 4 inclusion and 9 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 28 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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 combined 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.
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?
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 endpoint was the healing rate of ulcers, which based on post-treatment (week 4) endoscopic changes in stage of the ulcer relative to baseline (week 0) levels. (time frame: week 4). 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 NCT02847455, 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 28 Jul 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
