Abstract

117 patients were submitted to the randomized double-blind clinical trial. Methylated analogues of prostaglandin E2 administered orally markedly suppressed gastric acid secretion and--in comparison to placebo--accelerated cicatrization of duodenal ulcers, but not of gastric ulcers. The resistance of some ulcers to healing was not dependent on gastric acid secretion.
