First seen Mar 22, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This study tests whether fexuprazan, a new stomach acid reducer, can prevent upper gastrointestinal bleeding in 400 heart patients at high risk for bleeding who are taking two blood thinners after coronary stent placement. Participants receive either fexuprazan or the standard drug lansoprazole daily for 6 months, and the study tracks stomach-related complications like bleeding, ulcers, and severe pain. The goal is to see if fexuprazan offers better protection than the current standard treatment.
