Sucralfate Symposium, 11th International Congress of Gastroenterology, Hamburg, June 1980. Munich, Urban &0026; Schwarzenberg, 1981, pp 101–104. This study used radiological assessment and was unable to show any statistically significant advantage with sucralfate.

Sucralfate Symposium, 11th International Congress of Gastroenterology, Hamburg, June 1980. Munich, Urban &0026; Schwarzenberg, 1981, pp 80–84. This placebo-controlled study showed that sucralfate healed gastric ulcer significantly better than placebo.

Sucralfate Symposium, 11th International Congress of Gastroenterology, Hamburg, June 1980. Munich, Urban &0026; Schwarzenberg, 1981, pp 85–88. Because only a total of 21 patients were evaluated, this study showed only a trend in favor of sucralfate.
