In an open clinical trial, 16 hospital outpatients with endoscopically proven duodenal ulcer were given 30 mg omeprazole once daily for four weeks. After two weeks' treatment 14 of the 16 patients had healed and after four weeks all patients were healed. Reduction of pain was rapid and occurred during the first part of the trial. No serious adverse events or clinically significant deviations from normal laboratory values were reported. Serum gastrin levels significantly increased during treatment but returned to normal levels after the treatment was discontinued.
