Ranitidine, 300 mg daily, was given to 92 patients with duodenal ulcer (DU), 38 with prepyloric ulcer (PPU), and 21 with gastric corporeal ulcer (GCU). The healing rates at 4 weeks differed for the different types of ulcers (P less than 0.01), being 91% for DU, 68% for PPU, and 81% for GCU. After established ulcer healing, maintenance treatment with either ranitidine, 100 mg twice daily or 150 mg at night, or placebo was given for 1 year or until ulcer relapse in a total of 108 patients--71 with DU, 24 with PPU, and 13 with GCU. There were no significant differences in relapse rates between the two groups treated with active drug or between the three ulcer groups. However, the overall relapse rate in the active drug groups was 16%, against 72% in the placebo group (P less than 0.001).
