About this study

Official title: A Phase II Clinical Trial of Anti-Helicobacter Pylori Treatment in Endoscopically Diagnosed Low-Grade Localized Gastric Lymphoma

RATIONALE: Antibiotics may stop the growth of Helicobacter pylori which may be associated with gastric lymphoma.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy in treating patients with low grade gastric lymphoma that has not been previously treated.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the rate of eradication of Helicobacter pylori using omeprazole, colloidal bismuth subcitrate, tetracycline, and metronidazole in patients with low grade gastric lymphoma. II. Determine the macroscopic/endoscopic and microscopic healing/remission rate after eradication of Helicobacter pylori in this patient population. III. Determine the natural history of low grade gastric lymphoma after eradication of Helicobacter pylori.

OUTLINE: This is a nonrandomized, open label, multicenter study. Patients receive oral omeprazole bid on days 1-10, oral bismuth subcitrate and oral tetracycline qid on days 4-10, and oral metronidazole tid on days 4-10. Patients are evaluated at 8 weeks. Patients who experience complete remission and are H. pylori negative proceed to follow up. Patients with complete remission or no change but who are H. pylori positive proceed to a second course of therapy with the previous schedule or with omeprazole bid, amoxicillin qid, and clarithromycin tid for 14 days. Patients who experience no change but are H. pylori negative are followed at 6 and 9 months and restaged. Patients are followed at 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months, then annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 60-96 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing bismuth subcitrate, amoxicillin and clarithromycin in people with Lymphoma, run by European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer - EORTC at 22 sites in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jul 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 22 sites in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Jul 2012.
