This trial tests two medications, esomeprazole and sucralfate, to see if they help heal stomach ulcers after an endoscopic procedure (ESD) for early stomach cancer or pre-cancerous growths. It may help you if you need this procedure and have a larger ulcer afterwards.
This study tests whether a common heartburn medicine (esomeprazole) can help prevent or reduce painful swallowing caused by radiation for lung cancer. If you have stage 3 non-small cell lung cancer and are getting chemo and chest radiation, you may be able to join.
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 study compares two medications—vonorasan and esomeprazole—to see which one heals stomach ulcers better after a specific type of endoscopic surgery. The goal is to find the safest and most effective way to help your ulcer recover.
This trial tests if a stronger dose of omeprazole can help prevent high fluid output from a new ileostomy (a surgically created opening in the belly that passes waste). If you are scheduled for surgery to create an ileostomy, you may be able to join.
This trial tests vonaprazan (two doses) against esomeprazole to see which better heals moderate-to-severe reflux esophagitis (a damaged esophagus from acid reflux) in 8 weeks. You may qualify if you have had heartburn or regurgitation for at least a month and your doctor found grade B, C, or D damage on an endoscopy.
