RESUMO
Thirty-five patients with active duodenal ulceration were included in a double blind randomized trial, the antiulcer agent sodium amylosulfate (Depepsen), being compared with placebo. Diagnosis and healing were determined by duodenoscopy. Results showed, in the whole series, 13 of 18 patients treated with Depepsen healed, whereas 10 of 17 healed on placebo (P = 0.04). In the group of 23 outpatients, 6 of 11 healed on Depepsen, and 5 of 12 healed on placebo (P = 0.55). It was concluded that Depepsen did not accelerate the healing of duodenal ulcer.
