What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of Clinically Significant Rebleeding Within 72 Hours

    Diagnostic criteria for clinically significant rebleeding based on either A, B or C:

    1. Endoscopy - initiated by clinical signs of bleeding defined as one of B1 or B2 or B3 and endoscopic verification, ie one of A1 or A2.

    A1: Blood in stomach (this criteria cannot be used during the first 6 hours after primary endoscopic haemostasis). A2: A verified active bleeding from a peptic ulcer (Forrest Ia, Ib).

    1. A true clinically based definition, at least two of B1 and/or B2 and/or B3. B1: Vomiting of fresh blood or fresh blood in a gastric tube or haematochezia or melaena after a normal stool. B2: Decrease in Hb >20g/L (or Hct >6%) during 24 hours or an increase in Hb <10g/L (or Hct <3%) despite ≥2 units of blood has been transfused during 24hours. B3: Unstable circulation systolic blood pressure ≤ 90 mmHg or pulse ≥110/min (after have had a stable circulation).
    2. Haematemesis. Vomiting significant amounts (>200 ml) of fresh blood as estimated by the investigator.

    Measured: 72 hours

Secondary outcomes (8)

B2: Decrease in Hb >20g/L (or Hct >6%) during 24 hours or an increase in Hb <10g/L (or Hct <3%) despite ≥2 units of blood has been transfused during 24hours. B3: Unstable circulation systolic blood pressure ≤ 90 mmHg or pulse ≥110/min (after have had a stable circulation).
    2. Haematemesis. Vomiting significant amounts (>200 ml) of fresh blood as estimated by the investigator.

    Measured: 7 days

  2. Rate of Clinically Significant Rebleeding During 30 Days

    Diagnostic criteria for clinically significant rebleeding based on either A, B or C:

    1. Endoscopy - initiated by clinical signs of bleeding defined as one of B1 or B2 or B3 and endoscopic verification, ie one of A1 or A2.

    A1: Blood in stomach (this criteria cannot be used during the first 6 hours after primary endoscopic haemostasis). A2: A verified active bleeding from a peptic ulcer (Forrest Ia, Ib).

    1. A true clinically based definition, at least two of B1 and/or B2 and/or B3. B1: Vomiting of fresh blood or fresh blood in a gastric tube or haematochezia or melaena after a normal stool. B2: Decrease in Hb >20g/L (or Hct >6%) during 24 hours or an increase in Hb <10g/L (or Hct <3%) despite ≥2 units of blood has been transfused during 24hours. B3: Unstable circulation systolic blood pressure ≤ 90 mmHg or pulse ≥110/min (after have had a stable circulation).
    2. Haematemesis. Vomiting significant amounts (>200 ml) of fresh blood as estimated by the investigator.

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Esomeprazole Na, Cimetidine and Esomeprazole Mg in people with Bleeding Peptic Ulcer, run by AstraZeneca at 12 sites in China.

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 5 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 8 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in China. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Mar 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Rate of Clinically Significant Rebleeding Within 72 Hours (time frame: 72 hours). 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 NCT01757275, 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 Mar 2016.
