Cimetidine: A histamine congener, it competitively inhibits HISTAMINE binding to HISTAMINE H2 RECEPTORS. Cimetidine has a range of pharmacological actions. It inhibits GASTRIC ACID secretion, as well as PEPSIN and GASTRIN output.
cimetidine : A member of the class of guanidines that consists of guanidine carrying a methyl substituent at position 1, a cyano group at position 2 and a 2-{[(5-methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methyl]sulfanyl}ethyl group at position 3.

Proportion of Patients With Any Overt Upper-GI Bleeding (Significant and Non-significant) During the Treatment Evaluation Phase

"Criteria for a significant upper GI bleeding as described in primary outcome measure or,~Criteria for a non-significant upper GI bleeding as:~Bright red blood per NG or OG tube that clear after NG or OG tube adjustment and 5 to 10 minutes of lavage with room temperature normal saline or,~Persistent gastroccult- positive coffee ground material~During IMP treatment Day 1-2:~Persistent gastroccult - positive coffee ground material for at less than eight consecutive hours or that clear with at least 100 ml of lavage with room temperature normal saline.~During IMP treatment Day 3-14:~Persistent gastroccult - positive coffee ground material in less than three consecutive gastric aspirates within 2 to 4 hours (at least 60±20 minutes apart), or that clear with at least 100 ml of lavage with room temperature normal saline or,~Any clinical signs of hematemesis or melena or haematochezia judged (by the Investigator) to be from an upper GI source." (NCT02157376)
Timeframe: 1-14 days

The Percent of Patients With Clinically Significant Upper-GI Bleeding During the Treatment Evaluation Phase

"Criteria for a clinically significant upper GI bleeding as:~Bright red blood per NG or OG tube that did not clear after NG or OG tube adjustment and 5 to 10 minutes of at least 100 ml lavage with room temperature normal saline-or,~Persistent gastroccult- positive coffee ground material~During IMP treatment Day 1-2:~Persistent gastroccult- positive coffee ground material for at least eight consecutive hours that did not clear with at least 100 ml of lavage with room temperature normal saline.~During IMP treatment Day 3-14:~Persistent gastroccult- positive coffee ground material in at least three consecutive gastric aspirates within 2 to 4 hours (at least 60 ±20 minutes apart), that did not clear with at least 100 ml of lavage with room temperature normal saline."
