What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. The Percentage of Subjects Whose Gastric Ulcer(s) (GUs) Was (Were) Healed at Week 4 After Treatment With Esomeprazole 20 mg qd and Ranitidine 150 mg Bid in Patients Receiving Daily Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug (NSAID)Therapy.

    Healed was defined as the absence of gastric ulcers. It was calculated as the proportion of subjects whose gastric ulcer(s) healed after 4 weeks treatment.

    (Ulcers were on S stage, stage 1 = Nonblanchable erythema of intact skin, stage 2 = Partial thickness skin loss involving epidermis, dermis, or both, stage 3 = Full thickness skin loss involving damage to or necrosis of subcutaneous tissue, stage 4 = Full thickness skin loss with extensive destruction, tissue necrosis, or damage to muscle, bone, or supporting structures or absent).

    Measured: 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. The Percentage of Subjects Whose Gastric Ulcer(s) Was (Were) Healed at Week 8 After Treatment With Esomeprazole 20 mg qd and Ranitidine 150 mg Bid in Patients Receiving Daily NSAID Therapy.

    Healed was defined as the absence of gastric ulcers (Ulcers were on S stage or absent). It was calculated as the proportion of subjects whose gastric ulcer(s) healed after 8 weeks treatment.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. The Resolution of Heartburn Symptoms at Week 4 and Week 8 After Treatment With Esomeprazole 20 mg qd and Ranitidine 150 mg Bid in Patients Receiving Daily NSAID Therapy.

    Resolution rate of investigator-assessed GI symptoms, including heartburn, acid regurgitation, nausea, abdominal fullness and sleep disorder. It was calculated as the percentage of subjects whose heartburn symptoms were resolved at Week 8.

    Measured: week 4 and week 8

  3. Percentage of Participants With the Occurance of Any Adverse Event.

    Safety evaluation including vital signs, physical examination, ECG, adverse events and clinical laboratory evaluations during 8 weeks treatment.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  4. The Percentage of Participants Whose Duodenal Ulcer(s) (DUs) Was (Were) Healed at Week 4 and Week 8 After Treatment With Esomeprazole 20 mg qd and Ranitidine 150 mg Bid in Patients Receiving Daily NSAID Therapy.

    Healed was defined as the absence of ulcers (Ulcers were on S stage or absent). It was calculated as the proportion of subjects whose duodenal ulcer healed after 4 and 8 weeks treatment.

    Measured: 4 and 8 week

  5. The Percentage of Participants Whose GU(s) and DU(s) in Combination Were Healed at Week 4 and Week 8 After Treatment With Esomeprazole 20 mg qd and Ranitidine 150 mg Bid in Patients Receiving Daily NSAID Therapy

    Healed was defined as the absence of ulcers (Ulcers were on S stage or absent). It was calculated as the proportion of subjects whose gastric and duodenal ulcer healed after 4 and 8 weeks treatment.

    Measured: 4 & 8 weeks

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.
