Filter by:This is a prospective, single-blinded, randomized study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CEGP003 in patients with acute peptic ulcers bleeding, compared to endoscopic epinephrine injection therapy.
The purpose of the investigators study is to investigate the factors associated with rebleeding in patients with peptic ulcer bleeding.
To test whether intravenous albumin can decrease the rebleeding rate or shorten the duration of hospitalization in patients with peptic ulcer bleeding and hypoalbuminemia.
Low-dose aspirin (ASA) has emerged as the most important cause of peptic ulcer bleeding worldwide. In western countries, ASA has overtaken non steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as a major cause of peptic ulcer bleeding in the elderly population [1,2]. Management of peptic ulcer bleeding in patients receiving ASA for cardiothrombotic diseases is a clinical dilemma. In a randomized trial of continuous versus interrupted ASA therapy after endoscopic treatment of peptic ulcer bleeding, patients who discontinued ASA had a 10-fold increased incidence of all-cause mortality compared to those who received continuous ASA therapy. On the other hand, patients receiving continuous ASA therapy had a two-fold increased risk of early rebleeding [3]. Thus, preventing the occurrence of peptic ulcer bleeding in ASA users is important in reducing morbidity and mortality. Given the uncertain clinical utility of Helicobacter Pylori (Hp) testing in ASA users, this prospective cohort study aims to determine whether testing for Hp will have any impact on the long-term incidence of ulcer bleeding in ASA users with high ulcer risk. The investigators hypothesize that among ASA users with Hp infection and ulcer bleeding, the long-term incidence of recurrent ulcer bleeding with ASA use will be low after eradication of Hp alone.
Patients with comorbidities have an increased risk of ulcer re-bleeding, especially within the 14 days after first bleeding event. Three-day high dose esomeprazole infusion can prevent peptic ulcer rebleeding after endoscopic therapy. However, the optimal dose of oral esomeprazole is uncertain, especially for high risky patients. This study is to test whether a double dose of oral esomprazole could reduce peptic ulcer rebleeding for patients with Rockall score ≥ 6. Additionally, the second aim of this prospective study was to identify the selection criteria to predict poor fading and residual major stigmata of recent hemorrhage (SRH) or early recurrent bleeding after successful endoscopic hemostasis and high-dose PPI infusion.
