About this study

This prospective controlled randomized open-label clinical trial is designed to determine the optimal eradication rate of rabeprazole based sequential-concommitant hybrid therapies for adults infected with Helicobacter pylori in Eastern Taiwan. Enrolled patients will receive 3, 5 or 7 days of pre-concommitant (sequential part) treatment with rabeprazole + amoxicillin, then 7 days of concommitant treatment with rabeprazole + amoxicillin + clarithromycin + metronidazole.

Read the detailed description

Background: Antimicrobial resistance has decreased the worldwide eradication rates of common used triple therapy for Helicobacter pylori infection (less than 80%).

Objective: To determine the optimal pre-concommitant treatment length for rabeprazole based sequential-concomitant hybrid therapies for adults infected with Helicobacter pylori in Eastern Taiwan.

Design: Randomized, open-label, prospective controlled trial.

Patients: 231 patients with dyspepsia or peptic ulcers and infected by Helicobacter pylori.

Measurements: 13C-urea breath test, upper endoscopy, histologic evaluation, rapid urease test, bacterial culture, assessment of antibiotic resistance and CYP2C19 genotype of host.

Intervention: 231 patients with Helicobacter pylori infection are recruited and randomly assigned to receive one of the following therapeutic schemes: group 1, 14-days hybrid therapy: rabeprazole 20mg bid + amoxicillin 1g bid treated for 7 days, then rabeprazole 20mg bid + amoxicillin 1g bid + clarithromycin 0.5g bid + metronidazole 0.5g bid for other 7 days; group 2, 12-days hybrid therapy: rabeprazole 20mg bid + amoxicillin 1g bid treated for 5 days, then rabeprazole 20mg bid + amoxicillin 1g bid + clarithromycin 0.5g bid + metronidazole 0.5g bid for other 7 days; group 3, 10-days hybrid therapy: rabeprazole 20mg bid + amoxicillin 1g bid treated for 3 days, then rabeprazole 20mg bid + amoxicillin 1g bid + clarithromycin 0.5g bid + metronidazole 0.5g bid for other 7 days. Repeat upper endoscopy for histologic evaluation, rapid urease test or 13C-urea breath test after 4 week of treatment to assess the treatment result. The influence on the hybrid therapies of antibiotic resistance of Helicobacter pylori and CYP2C19 genotype of host were determined.

Expected results: The rabeprazole based sequential-concomitant therapies for eradication of Helicobacter pylori is very effective, and the outcome is not affected by antibiotic resistance of Helicobacter pylori and CYP2C19 genotype of host.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing RA5-RACM7, RA3-RACM7 and RA7-RACM7 in people with Helicobacter Pylori Infection, run by Buddhist Tzu Chi General 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 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Apr 2012. 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.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Ming-Cheh CHEN, MD (+886-910-521003, MingCheh_chen@tzuchi.com.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Eradication rate (time frame: 4 weeks after complete use of drug for treatment). 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 5 Apr 2012.
