A randomized controlled comparison of efficacy of 4 and 8 weeks lansoprazole treatment of gastric ulcer induced by endoscopic submucosal dissection / 中国生化药物杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the efficacy between the treatment courses of 4 weeks and 8 weeks of lansoprazole in the treatment of endoscopic mucosal stripping ( ESD ) induced iatrogenic gastric ulcer.Methods 84 gastric adenoma or early gastric cancer patients were randomly divided into two groups after lansoprazole(30 mg/day) treatment for 4 weeks and 8 weeks.After 8 weeks of ESD, the efficacy between two groups were compared.Results 69 patients from the total 84 patients were included into the final analysis, 34 patents in 4 week-treatment group and 35 patients in 8 week-treatment group.There was no significant difference between the two groups of the ulcer stage(68% in the scar stage of 4 week-treatment group and 69% in the scar stage of 8 week-treatment group, P=0.93 ).There was no significant difference between the two groups of ulcer reduction radio (0.0081 ±0.015 in 4 week-treatment group and 0.0037 ±0.008 in 8 week-treatment group, P=0.15) 8 weeks after ESD.There was no difference in scar stage and ulcer reduction radio between 4 week-treatment group and 8 week-treatment group of patients with large ulcers ( >30 mm ) . Conclusion For ESD-induced gastric ulcer, there was no significant difference in efficacy of lansoprazole between 4 week-treatment and 8 week-treatment.It may be sufficient for proton pump inhibitors only 4 weeks’ treatment in ESD-induced gastric ulcers.
