About this study

Official title: An Open Observational Study For The Rabeprazole Administration In Adult Subjects With Helicobacter Pylori (H. Pylori) Infection

The purpose of the study is to confirm the safety and effectiveness of rabeprazole in the treatment of adult patients with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in routine clinical practice.

Read the detailed description

An infection of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a risk factor for many types of gastrointestinal diseases and associated with stomach inflammation, ulcer of the stomach or small intestine. The recommended treatment for the infection is a triple therapy consisted of one proton pump inhibitor, such as rabeprazole, and two antibiotics administered for 7 days. This is an open label, nonrandomized study of the safety of rabeprazole in the treatment of patients with H. pylori infection. The study consists of 2 phases: the 2-month main phase and the 4-month monitoring phase (total duration of 6 months). During the main phase, patients are treated for 7 days with three drugs (rabeprazole, clarithromycin, and amoxycillin), and the effectiveness of the treatment is assessed 4 weeks later. During the monitoring phase, patients are interviewed at monthly intervals to assess symptoms and to report any adverse events. Safety assessments include the incidence of adverse events throughout the treatment and monitoring phases, and laboratory tests (hematology, biochemistry, urinalysis) and vital signs at the start of the study and after 1 month. Assessments of effectiveness include the eradication of H. pylori infection, assessed by the urea breath test one month after treatment. The primary study hypothesis is that rabeprazole is well-tolerated long-term in the treatment of patients with H. pylori infection in routine clinical practice. Rabeprazole tablets (20 milligrams[mg]) taken orally twice daily for 7 days. Clarithromycin (500mg) and amoxycillin (1 gram) taken twice daily for 7 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing rabeprazole sodium in people with Helicobacter Infections and Bacterial Infections, run by Janssen Cilag Pharmaceutica S.A.C.I., Greece.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 26 Apr 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of adverse events throughout the study. 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 26 Apr 2010.
