About this study

Official title: Clinical Effectiveness of Intravenous Esomeprazole Versus Pantoprazole in Preventing Peptic Ulcer Recurrent Bleeding: a Double-Blind Randomized Trial

The aim of this study is to compare the clinical effectiveness of intravenous esomeprazole and pantoprazole in preventing recurrent bleeding in the patients with high-risk bleeding peptic ulcers after successful standard endoscopic hemostasis.

Read the detailed description

Endoscopic hemostasis and proton pump inhibitor (PPI) constitute the cornerstone in the management of peptic ulcer bleeding (PUB), which remains a prevalent disorder associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Clinical effectiveness of PPI in the management of patients with PUB has been established by compelling evidence derived from a number of randomized trials. However, whether different PPIs are equally effective has not been investigated. Esomeprazole, the S-isomer of omeprazole, may achieve faster, more profound and steady acid suppression than other PPIs, but it remains undetermined whether the superiority of pharmacologic efficacy may be translated into advantages in clinical outcomes.

What participants receive

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

  • EsomeprazoleDrug

    Also called Nexium

    Intravenous esomeprazole (Nexium®, AstraZeneca, Sodertalje, Sweden) is administered with 80mg bolus and 8mg/hr infusion for 72 hours. After 3 days, patients receive oral esomeprazole 40 mg (Nexium®, AstraZeneca, Sodertalje, Sweden) for 2 months

  • PantoprazoleDrug

    Also called Pantoloc

    After successful endoscopy, intravenous pantoprazole (Pantoloc®, Nycomed GMBH, Konstanz, Germany) is administered with 80mg bolus and 8mg/hr infusion for 72 hours. After 3 days, patients receive oral pantoprazole 40 mg (Pantoloc®, Nycomed GMBH, Oranienburg, Germany) for 2 months

  1. recurrent bleeding within 14 days of enrollment

    Measured: 14 days after enrollment

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Volume of blood transfusion

    Measured: 14 days after enrollment

  2. Need for surgery

    Measured: 14 days after enrollment

  3. all-cause mortality

    Measured: 14 days after enrollment

  4. bleeding-related mortality

    Measured: 14 days after enrollment

  5. length of hospital stay

    Measured: probably one month after enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Esomeprazole and Pantoprazole in people with Peptic Ulcer, run by Lotung Poh-Ai Hospital.

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 5 inclusion and 7 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Apr 2015. 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 phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

recurrent bleeding within 14 days of enrollment (time frame: 14 days after enrollment). 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 NCT00881413, 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 8 Apr 2015.
