Active clinical trials for "Peptic Ulcer"

An Open-Label, Randomized, Two-sequence, Two-period, Fasting Condition, Single Oral Dose, Cross-over Study of Bioequivalence of "Gaster®D Tab20mg (Famotidine) (Changed Manufacturer)" and "Gaster®D Tab 20mg (Famotidine) (Unchanged Manufacturer, Announced Reference Drug)" in Healthy, Adult, Human Subjects.

This research is to determine which medication, Zegerid (Omeprazole/Sodium Bicarbonate) or Pepcid AC (Famotidine), works best at reducing the chance that a patient will get an ulcer after gastric bypass surgery.

Low pulse oximetry is the most common adverse events during sedation for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. The main reason is the glossoptosis after sedation. In present study a new designed nasopharyngeal airway embedded with jet ventilation catheter(WEI NASAL JET) will be utilized in order to reduce the hypoxia. At the same time the safety will be evaluated.

To capture safety and efficacy when Nexium are administered to pediatric patients in clinical practice after launch

Aims: Evaluate the long-term effect of screening and eradication of Helicobacter Pylori on the prevalence of dyspepsia, and, as secondary outcomes, to assess the effect on dyspepsia related health-care consumption and quality of life. To investigate symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux (GER), dyspepsia and the combination of these conditions and the effect on quality of life, prognosis and dyspepsia-related health care expenditure. Methods: In 1998-99 20.000 individuals, age 40-65 years, identified by their civil registration number, were allocated by a computerized randomized procedure to HP-screening group and control group. All participants received a questionnaire at inclusion, 1-year and 5-year and now again at 12 year follow-up assessing the prevalence of dyspepsia and quality of life. In addition we will obtain information from registers on, comorbidity, use of endoscopies and prescription medication. An economic evaluation is done alongside the randomized trial. The primary unscreened group is invited to HP test (13C-urea breath-test) in order to analyze the effect of HP-screening according to HP-status Expected results: The study will provide information on the long-term effect of HP-screening and eradication in a population. The study will provide information about the long-term effect on incidence of peptic ulcer in an aging population that is likely to have an increased consumption of ASA and NSAID. Furthermore the study will generate knowledge about the long-term prognosis of dyspepsia and reflux in the population (dyspepsia and reflux. Preliminary results from the 5-yr follow-up (13) showed that is has a great influence on quality of life and the dyspepsia-related health care consumption, whether the individual has solely reflux, solely dyspepsia or a combination of both symptoms. Long-term follow-up and further analyses of these findings could have great impact on management and treatment of individuals with symptoms. It is important to focus on groups; in which the symptoms have the greatest influence on quality of life of the individual. This finding has not been displayed in other studies.

The objective of this study is to identify the incidence rate; describe the risk factors, clinical presentation, and endoscopic treatment; assess the morbidity, mortality, and overall performance of the management of patients with actively bleeding marginal ulcers after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery.

The study aims to demonstrate the preventive effect of DWP14012 20 mg for peptic ulcer is non-inferior to that of Lansoprazole 15 mg in terms of prevention of peptic ulcer and confirm the safety of DWP14012 20 mg.

This pilot study aims to estimate the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) colonization in patients presenting with non-specific abdominal pain (NSAP) in an urban academic emergency department (ED) located in Washington, DC.

30% of ketamine users complain of abdominal discomfort. Long-term ketamine use is associated with hepatotoxicity and pathologic changes to the biliary tract. Yet the prevalence of gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary pathologies in ketamine users has not been well-described. The investigators plan to recruit a large number of ketamine users based on referrals from different Psychiatry clusters in Hong Kong and to investigate the underlying cause of abdominal discomfort, describe the prevalence of different gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary pathologies and describe their long-term outcome.

The analyses are conducted in a previous population-based cohort study using The Health Improvement Network database in the UK (Cai et al 2009).The aims of the post hoc analyses are: To estimate the relative risk of uncomplicated symptomatic peptic ulcer (UPU) associated with use of low dose aspirin (ASA) and other anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, steroids) in the general population To estimate the dose-response and duration-response associated with use of these drugs To estimate the relative risk of UPU associated with naive/non-naive use of low dose ASA in the general population To evaluate the effect of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) (alone or in combination with anti-inflammatory drugs) on the occurrence of UPU in the general population To investigate the management of low dose ASA/oral antiplatelets after UPU
