About this study

Official title: Compare the Effect of Eupatilin and Rebamipide on the Prevention of Gastroenteropathy in Patients With NSAIDs and Low Dose Steroid: A Single-center, Randomized, Open Labeled, Pilot Study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of eupatilin on the prevention of gastroenteropathy in patients with NSAIDs and low dose steroid by comparing with rebamipide.

Read the detailed description

After being informed of the study and potential risks, all patients giving written informed consents will undergo a 1-week screening period to determine eligibility for study entry. During screening period, patients will undergo fecal calprotectin test, upper endoscopy and submit symptom diary. At week 0, subjects who meet the eligibility criteria will be randomized in a open labeled manner in 1:1 ratio to eupatilin (90mg twice daily-test group, 25 patients) or rebamipide (100mg three times daily-control group paients) for 8 weeks. At week 8, subjects undergo fecal calprotectin test, upper endoscopy and submit symptom diary.

Being tested
Eupatilin, Rebamipide
Medical subject headings
Arthritis, Rheumatoid, Osteoarthritis, Spondylitis, Ankylosing, Stomach Ulcer, Enteritis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Eupatilin and Rebamipide in people with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis, run by Seoul National University Boramae 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 14 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 May 2021. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Percentage of patients with gastric damage (time frame: evaluated at day 56). 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 NCT04885751, which also lists 7 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 13 May 2021.
