NCT ID NCT05799105
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether opening a capsule of the acid-blocking drug omeprazole helps heal stomach ulcers faster in people who have had gastric bypass surgery. About 122 participants will be randomly assigned to take the capsule whole or opened. Doctors will check ulcer healing with a camera every three months. The goal is to find the simplest, most effective way to treat these ulcers.
