Effectiveness and safety of a newly designed self-assembling gel in the treatment of endoscopic submucosal dissection-induced gastric ulcer: A multicenter randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a newly designed self-assembling gel in treating ESD-induced gastric ulcers in patients. Methods: This open-label, multicenter, randomized controlled trial enrolled patients who underwent ESD between September 2020 and May 2021. Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive the gel (applied to cover the entire ulcer bed under endoscopic guidance immediately after ESD; gel group) or not (control group). The primary outcome was the ulcer healing rate at 28 days. And the secondary outcomes were the delayed bleeding, changes in the ulcer stage, and adverse events. Results: Finally, 125 patients (mean age, 63.7 years; 70 [56.0%] males) were enrolled. The ulcer healing rate was higher in the gel group than in the control gr
