Small Bowel Disease Clinical Trial
Official title:
Rifaximin and Misoprostol Combination Therapy for Healing of Small Bowel Ulcers in Aspirin Users With Small Bowel Bleeding: A Double Blind Randomized Trial
Background: Investigators have previously shown that misoprostol can heal small bowel ulcers
in aspirin users with small bowel bleeding. However, the rate of small-bowel mucosal healing
was low with use of misoprostol alone. There is evidence to suggest that bacteria contribute
to the development aspirin-induced ulcers and antibiotics may be useful in its treatment.
Rifaximin, a non-absorbed oral antibiotic that target the gastrointestinal tract have been
shown to be safe and effective in a few other gastrointestinal conditions.
Small bowel capsule is the most sensitive and non-invasive way to investigate the small
bowel. It plays an important role in obscure GIB investigations.
Aims: The aim of this randomized study is to test the hypothesis that misoprostol combined
with rifaximin is superior to misoprostol alone for healing of small bowel ulcers in aspirin
users complicated by small bowel bleeding.
Study design: 8-week double-blind randomized trial

Inclusion Criteria: - Suspected small bowel overt bleeding - melena or hematochezia with or without a source of bleeding from gastroscopy and colonoscopy or suspected small bowel occult blood loss - defined as a significant decrease in hemoglobin (> 2g/dL), without a source of bleeding from gastroscopy and colonoscopy, confirmed iron deficiency anemia, and absence of other identifiable causes for hemoglobin decrease (e.g. fluid overload, progressive renal failure, malnutrition, or other hematological disorders such as hemolysis or malignancies) - Continuous use of aspirin for the duration of the trial - Age = 18 - Written informed consent obtained Exclusion Criteria: - Increased risk of capsule retention (e.g. gastric outlet obstruction, bypass surgery, Crohn's disease or suspected small bowel stricture) - Abnormal findings on gastroscopy that may account for bleeding episode: clean-based ulcer >2 cm or >5 erosions, esophageal varices, grade C or D erosive esophagitis, vascular malformations - Unable to swallow the capsule endoscopy - Terminal illness - Concomitant use of NSAIDs, sucralfate, rebamepide, antibiotics, corticosteroids (prednisolone >7.5 mg daily or equivalent), and iron supplement - Pregnancy (except LMP within 7 days) or women of child-bearing age without regular use of contraception - Contraindications to colonoscopy or capsule endoscopy |
