Potassium-Competitive Acid Blocker Versus pROton-Pump Inhibitor for GastroproTECTion Strategies In Patients at High Gastro-Intestinal Bleeding Risk Receiving Antithrombotic Therapy

The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of novel P-CAB (tegoprazan 50 mg once daily) as compared with standard PPI (rabeprazole 20 mg once daily) for protection of GI events in patients with known cardiac and vascular disease receiving chronic use of antithrombotic drugs (either antiplatelets, OAC, and its combinations) who are at high GI bleeding risk. The primary hypothesis is that P-CAB (experimental arm) would non-inferior to PPI (standard arm) with respect to the rate of the primary composite end point of GI events at 12 months after randomization.
