About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Multi-Center, Open-Label Study to Compare the POCone® With the UBiT®-IR300 in Measurement of 13CO2/12CO2 Ratio in Breath Samples Collected From Pediatric Subjects Ages 3 to 17 Years With Upper Gastrointestinal Signs and Symptoms

The purpose of this study is to compare between the POCone® to the UBiT®-IR300 in measuring 13CO2/12CO2 ratio in breath samples when used together with the BreathTek® UBT (urea breath test) Kit and the pUHR-CA web-based software program in identifying H. pylori infection in pediatric subjects.

Read the detailed description

The same patients will be tested on both the POCone® and UBiT®-IR300. If the patients test positive for H. pylori, they will be given eradication medication and brought back in for a re-test.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Agreement Between POCone and UBiT-IR300.

    The study end-points are UHR values derived from DOB (delta over baseline) values obtained from the POCone and UBiT-IR300 (UHRP and UHRU, respectively) at Baseline and Post-Dose. Same patients will be tested on both the POCone and UBiT-IR300.

    Subjects fasted for at least 1 hr prior test. Each patient provided breath samples in 3 blue (Baseline) breath bags-labeled "A" "B" "C". Subjects were given Pranactin-Citric solution (4oz) to drink, waited 15 min and collected 3 pink (post-dose) bags which were paired with the baseline bags in no particular order. Each pair was tested on both machines. The first two available pairs of UHR values were used for data analysis. The 3rd pair was used only if one of the first two samples did not produce a valid test result.

    DOB values were generated by the two instruments for each Baseline and Post Dose pair. UHR values were claculated based on the DOB values and the subject's anthropometric variables (age, gender, ehight and body weight).

    Measured: Baseline, Post Dose (15 min)

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?

What does the primary outcome measure?

Agreement Between POCone and UBiT-IR300. (time frame: Baseline, Post Dose (15 min)). 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.
