About this study

Official title: Lymphocytic Subsets and Cytokine Production in the Gastric Samples of Patients With Helicobacter Pylori Infection

The aims of this study are 1) to determine the cytokines produced by both Th1 and Th2 subsets in gastric antral biopsy specimens from Taiwanese patients before and after anti H. pylori therapy; 2) to obtain a detailed phenotypic characterization and distribution pattern of mucosal lymphocytes in H. pylori-associated gastritis and to define possible contributing immune mechanisms responsible for the chronicity of the disease and its associated lesions.

Read the detailed description

Helicobacter pylori, a Gram-negative spiral bacterium, has been first isolated from a patient with chronic active gastritis since 1982. Recent studies strongly suggest that chronic infection with H. pylori is tightly associated with chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, and gastric carcinoma. However, only a minority of infected people develop signs and symptoms of gastric pathology. Thus, both host and microbial factors may lead to different outcomes of infection. In spite of high prevalence in general population and increasing clinical attention has been paid on this infection, the knowledge of pathogenic mechanism of H. pylori infection is still limited and little is known about the role of host immune response in the pathogenesis of disease.The aims of this study are 1) to determine the cytokines produced by both Th1 and Th2 subsets in gastric antral biopsy specimens from Taiwanese patients before and after anti H. pylori therapy; 2) to obtain a detailed phenotypic characterization and distribution pattern of mucosal lymphocytes in H. pylori-associated gastritis and to define possible contributing immune mechanisms responsible for the chronicity of the disease and its associated lesions.

  1. Cytokines produced by both Th1 / Th2 subsets in gastric antral biopsy specimens from Taiwanese patients before and after anti H. pylori therapy.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Obtain a detailed phenotypic characterization and distribution pattern of mucosal lymphocytes in H. pylori-associated gastritis and to define immune mechanisms responsible for the chronicity of the disease and its associated lesions.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing immune response in people with Duodenal Ulcer and Gastric Ulcer, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. 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 15 Sep 2005. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. 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.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cytokines produced by both Th1 / Th2 subsets in gastric antral biopsy specimens from Taiwanese patients before and after anti H. pylori therapy.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 15 Sep 2005.
