The Selection Criteria for the Second-look Endoscopy Among Patients With Bleeding Peptic Ulcers
Taiwan316 participantsStarted 2011-08
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this prospective study is to identify risk factors which could predict poor fading of SRH or early recurrent bleeding of peptic ulcer hemorrhage after successful endoscopic hemostasis and high-dose PPI infusion. These risk factors will be the selection criteria for patients who are indicated to receive second-look endoscopy.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Bleeding peptic ulcers with major stigmata of recent hemorrhage
* All of these major SRH are treated by local injection of diluted epinephrine 1:10000 with or without combined therapy with a heater probe, argon plasma coagulation, band ligation, or hemoclip therapy
Exclusion Criteria:
* Bleeding due to tumor or cancer
* Bleeding due to the presence of a Dieulafoy lesion
* Ulcer bleeding due to mechanical factors (i.e., gastrostomy tube induction)
* Proton pump inhibitors use within one week before enrollment
* Failure to establish hemostasis under gastroscopy
* Hypersensitivity to esomeprazole, pantoprazole, or any component of the formulation
* Previously participated in the study
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
