In order to assess the efficacy of cimetidine in patients with endoscopically anastomotic ulcer after partial gastrectomy, 21 such patients entered a double-blind prospective clinical trial. At endoscopy after 4 wk of treatment, 8 of 12 patients treated with 1 g of cimetidine daily compared with 1 of 9 patients who received a placebo had healed ulcers (P less than 0.05). Evaluation of symptoms relief supported the efficacy of cimetidine compared with placebo. Healing rate after 1 mo of treatment with cimetidine was 67% and increased to 86% after 2 mo. During 1 year of maintenance therapy with 800 mg cimetidine daily, 3 of 19 patients relapsed. No serious side effects were observed. The results of this study demonstrate a beneficial effect of cimetidine on healing and symptoms of anastomotic ulcers.
