Estimated Enrollment: 600
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Esomeprazole
High-dose esomeprazole
 Drug: Esomeprazole
Intravenous esomeprazole (Nexium®, AstraZeneca, Sodertalje, Sweden) is administered with 80mg bolus and 8mg/hr infusion for 72 hours. After 3 days, patients receive oral esomeprazole 40 mg (Nexium®, AstraZeneca, Sodertalje, Sweden) for 2 months
Other Name: Nexium
Active Comparator: Pantoprazole
High-dose pantoprazole
 Drug: Pantoprazole
After successful endoscopy, intravenous pantoprazole (Pantoloc®, Nycomed GMBH, Konstanz, Germany) is administered with 80mg bolus and 8mg/hr infusion for 72 hours. After 3 days, patients receive oral pantoprazole 40 mg (Pantoloc®, Nycomed GMBH, Oranienburg, Germany) for 2 months
Other Name: Pantoloc

Detailed Description:

Endoscopic hemostasis and proton pump inhibitor (PPI) constitute the cornerstone in the management of peptic ulcer bleeding (PUB), which remains a prevalent disorder associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Clinical effectiveness of PPI in the management of patients with PUB has been established by compelling evidence derived from a number of randomized trials. However, whether different PPIs are equally effective has not been investigated. Esomeprazole, the S-isomer of omeprazole, may achieve faster, more profound and steady acid suppression than other PPIs, but it remains undetermined whether the superiority of pharmacologic efficacy may be translated into advantages in clinical outcomes.
