Active clinical trials for "Peptic Ulcer"

This study is designed to confirm the non-inferiority of Tegoprazan 25 mg, compared to Lansoprazole 15 mg, to prevent gastroduodenal ulcers and verify the safety of tegoprazan following oral administration of tegoprazan 25 mg QD or lansoprazole 15 mg QD in patients on long-term treatment with NSAIDs.

Patients with a history of idiopathic gastroduodenal ulcer bleeding face an increased risk of recurrent ulcer gastrointestinal bleeding. Our ongoing clinical trial demonstrates a possible reduced risk of recurrent idiopathic gastroduodenal ulcer bleeding with proton pump inhibitor (PPI), yet there is a significant risk of recurrent ulcer bleeding as PPI may increase the risk of small bowel bleeding. Our preliminary data provide strong plausibility that a combination therapy of misoprostol (MISO) with a PPI reduces the recurrent ulcer bleeding as well as clinical gastrointestinal bleeding. The investigators are going to provide the definitive answer to this important clinical question through a randomised trial.

Evaluation of current and newly developed endoluminal therapies in the management of Upper and Lower GI conditions.

Acute upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding associated with the use of low-dose aspirin (ASA) is a major cause of peptic ulcer bleeding worldwide. Among survivors of acute myocardial infarction, a study of over 14,000 patients reported that the risk of life-threatening GI bleeding in the first two months is 7 times higher than that in the subsequent months. After endoscopic control of ulcer bleeding, most patients with cardiovascular (CV) diseases will need to resume ASA. However, the investigator found that immediate resumption of ASA saves life but at the expense of higher risk of recurrent bleeding. Peptic ulcer bleeding associated with ASA is a major cause of hospitalization in Hong Kong. Currently, ASA use has contributed to about one-third of the bleeding ulcers admitted to our hospital that serves a local population of 1.5 million. Accordingly, current international guidelines recommend early resumption of ASA but the optimal timing is unknown. Clinicians often face the dilemma: when should ASA be resumed? Furthermore, patients who suffer from acute peptic ulcer bleeding are often elderly patients with significant co-morbidities. Mortality in these patients remains high. Clinicians are facing an increasing number of patients who are on antiplatelet drugs or anticoagulants. The investigator proposes a open-label randomized-controlled trial to evaluate the optimal timing of resuming ASA in patients with CV diseases complicated by peptic ulcer bleeding. Patients will be randomized to resume the standard treatment within first few hours or only to resume the standard treatment 72 hours after endoscopic haemostasis.

Use the falciform ligament flap for the treatment of perforated peptic ulcer

Although laparoscopic repair (LR) of perforated peptic ulcers (PPUs) has long been accepted, clinical evidence comparing LR versus open repair (OR) remains lacking. The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, safety and outcome of laparoscopic gastric repair and compare it with the outcome open repair by relying on a propensity score matching statistical technique

comparison between outcomes of both open and laparoscopic repair of perforated peptic ulcer

The object of the study will be children and adolescents from 6 to 15 years old, living in the city of Tashkent and in the Tashkent region. We will study patients with various clinical forms of chronic gastroduodenal pathology (CGDP). The effect of enteral oxygen therapy in the recovery of patients with CGDP due to the positive effect of the active form of oxygen on the hematological system and on the regenerative processes in the gastrointestinal tract will be studied. At the same time, the effect of enteral oxygen therapy on enhancing the effectiveness of eradication therapy during the treatment of carrier Helicobacter pylori due to the neutralization of the products of urea hydrolysis around bacteria under the action of reactive oxygen species will be studied.

Detection of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) directly from tissue by headspace analysis (skin, surgery material, other tissue) and exhaled breath is feasible using affordable user-friendly novel nano-chemo sensors that can accurately be used for screening and monitoring purpose

The WIRES-T project (Web-based International Registry of Emergency General Surgery and Trauma) has been set up to allow to all the EGS (Emergency General Surgery) and Trauma surgeons to register their activity and to obtain a worldwide register of traumatic and non traumatic surgical emergencies. This will give the opportunity to evaluate results on a macro-data basis and to give index allowing stratifying, evaluating and improving the outcomes.
