Study summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether AG-1749 (lansoprazole), once daily (QD), is effective in preventing the recurrence of gastric and duodenal ulcers in patients receiving long term treatment with nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drug, compared to gefarnate, twice daily (BID).

Read the detailed description

In Japan, nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drug is one of common prescribed drugs for patients as an analgesic antipyretic, treating symptoms of cold, antiphlogistic and management of pain with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthrosis, lumbago. On the other hand, this nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drug sometimes causes gastric and duodenal ulcers and this ulcer leads to the gastrointestinal bleeding which may be cause of death.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of lansoprazole versus gefarnate in patients with a history of gastric or duodenal ulcers receiving daily nonsteroid anti-inflammatory medication.
