Preventing stomach bleeding with omeprazole during blood thinner therapy
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years old or older.
- You have been recently diagnosed with a blood clot (like deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism).
- You plan to take blood thinners (anticoagulants) for at least 3 months.
- You are not already taking a daily proton pump inhibitor (like omeprazole).
- You have never had bleeding from your stomach or upper intestines.
- You are not taking two different antiplatelet drugs (like aspirin plus clopidogrel).

This trial is looking at patients with ischemic heart disease who are taking one or two antiplatelet drugs (like aspirin or clopidogrel) and have had gastrointestinal bleeding. The goal is to study this problem and find better ways to manage it.
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 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 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 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 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.
