High-dose omeprazole by mouth for serious ulcer bleeding
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking a high dose of omeprazole by mouth can help control bleeding from a peptic ulcer that looks high-risk on endoscopy. It may be aimed at lowering the chance of bleeding again after your procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- Your endoscopy showed a peptic ulcer with high-risk bleeding signs (spurt, ooze, or a visible vessel)
- You are willing to participate in the study
- You are not pregnant and not breastfeeding
- Your bleeding is from a peptic ulcer—not from other causes like tears, varices, or erosions

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares an IV “acid-suppressing” medicine (PPI infusion) with acid pills (oral PPIs) after doctors treat a bleeding peptic ulcer endoscopically. It may help prevent re-bleeding by keeping stomach acid low while the ulcer heals.
This trial tests whether omeprazole (a stomach acid reducer) can help prevent stomach bleeding in older adults who are taking blood thinners for a newly diagnosed blood clot. It may be a good fit if you are 65 or older and starting blood thinners for a clot.
This trial studies medicines to help stop bleeding from coming back after you’ve had an “idiopathic” stomach/upper gut ulcer bleed. It may help by reducing ulcer re-bleeding risk in people who don’t have common causes like H. pylori or common ulcer-triggering drugs.
This trial compares two types of acid-reducing medicines to see which is better at preventing re-bleeding in people who have had severe ulcer bleeding. If you qualify, you would receive either a new acid blocker or a double dose of a standard acid reducer.
This trial tests whether proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) can help people with cirrhosis who are hospitalized for variceal bleeding. It looks at whether PPIs reduce complications during the hospital stay.
This trial tests two medicines that lower stomach acid to help stop bleeding from the stomach or intestines. It aims to find which one works better for people with this type of bleeding.
