Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ulcer healing efficacy of rebamipide in comparison with omeprazole in Helicobacter pylori-positive gastric ulcer after eradication therapy.

Read the detailed description

This study is designed to evaluate the ulcer healing efficacy of rebamipide administered following the eradication therapy in comparison with the well known PPI, omeprazole. This is a double-blind, comparative study which is expected to prove the role of rebamipide in gastric ulcer healing after the eradication therapy. This study may contribute to further clinical research on a new type of ulcer treatment by looking at the treatment modality based on the enhancement of defensive factors.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Gastric ulcer healing rate

    Rebamipide showed 81.5\~87.8% of gastric ulcer healing rate which was not inferior to 82.5\~87.8% healing rate of Omeprazole.

    Time frame: at 12 weeks after the initial administration of the study medication

Secondary outcomes

  1. Gastric ulcer healing rate in cases with successful H.pylori eradication and H.pylori eradication failure (12 weeks after administration of the study medication.)

    Time frame: at 12 weeks after the initial administration of the study medication

  2. Serum gastrin level

    Time frame: at 8 and 12 weeks after the initial administration of study medication

  3. Economical efficiency

    Rebamipide was more cost effective than Omeparzole for 7 weeks of gastric ulcer treatment.

    Time frame: drug cost/effect ratio
