Open vs intact capsule acid reducers for marginal ulcers
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of taking acid-reducing medicine (proton pump inhibitors) for marginal ulcers that occur after gastric bypass. It may help decide which form works best to heal ulcers and prevent symptoms from coming back.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a marginal ulcer after gastric bypass, confirmed by an upper camera exam (endoscopy).
- You are willing to start the study’s acid-reducing medicine (a proton pump inhibitor).
- You are not already taking an “open capsule” version of this medicine when your ulcer was diagnosed.

This study tests a new way to treat painful sores (marginal ulcers) that can happen after gastric bypass surgery. Doctors use a special tool (argon plasma) during an endoscopy to help the sores heal faster, and you will get standard ulcer medicine too.
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 how well esomeprazole (a acid-reducing medicine) works after a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and how it changes the acidity in the stomach pouch. It may help confirm the best way to control stomach acid after bypass surgery.
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 study tests whether a probiotic called Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG can improve gut bacteria changes caused by proton pump inhibitors (acid-reducing medicines). It mainly involves people who are otherwise healthy and do not currently have ongoing stomach or gut symptoms.
This study compares two medications, vonoprazan and esomeprazole, to see which works better for healing damage to the esophagus caused by acid reflux (erosive esophagitis). If you have this condition, this trial could help find you the most effective treatment.
