About this study

Official title: Proton Pump Inhibitors in Conjunction to Endoscopic Therapy for Bleeding Peptic Ulcers: a Randomized Clinical Trial of High vs Standard Doses

High intravenous dosage of Proton Pump Inhibitors is not better than standard dosage in bleeding peptic ulcers successfully treated by endoscopic therapy

Read the detailed description

The recent Canadian consensus conference on the management of patients with non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding recommends a high regimen of PPIs, consisting in a dosage of 80-mg bolus followed by the 8 mg/H infusion, as being superior to the standard dosage (40 mg twice daily by bolus injection) in conjunction with some type of endoscopic therapy. However, by pooling data fromm studies comparing high doses of PPIs as continuous infusion versus regular doses as intermittent bolus, rebleeding, surgery, and mortality were not significantly different. As the previous conclusion became apparent in a meta-analytical evaluation of only 2 randomized clinical trials, more studies are needed on this topic.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing omeprazole and pantoprazole in people with Peptic Ulcers and Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding, run by Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza IRCCS at 10 sites in Italy.

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 3 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 5 Apr 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in Italy. 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?

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?

Rebleeding rates and surgical needs. 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 NCT00374101, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 5 Apr 2007.
