IV medicine versus pills to stop bleeding stomach ulcers
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- An endoscopy showed a non-variceal upper GI bleed source such as a peptic ulcer (not bleeding from veins)
- The ulcer was actively treated during endoscopy (such as clipping or heat to stop bleeding)
- Doctors confirmed the bleeding was controlled after treatment and watching briefly
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding
- You must be willing and able to give consent

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 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.
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.
This trial compares a potassium-competitive acid blocker to a proton pump inhibitor to help prevent stomach or intestinal bleeding in people at high risk who take blood-thinning medicines. It may help reduce dangerous GI bleeding while you stay on heart/stroke medicines.
This trial compares a “dual eradication therapy” (to get rid of H. pylori in the stomach) versus usual acid-reducing pills (PPIs) to lower the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding in people with recent heart artery disease treated with a stent. It may help by reducing stomach infection-related bleeding while you continue needed heart medicines.
