Trial summary

We aimed to compare the efficacy of genotypic resistance guided sequential therapy vs. empiric therapy in the third line therapy. Factors affecting the eradication rates, including the antibiotic resistance, CYP2C19 polymorphism, CagA and VacA status will also be assessed. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Genotypic Resistance Guided Therapy in the Treatment of Helicobacter Pylori Infection

We aimed to compare the efficacy of genotypic resistance guided sequential therapy vs. empiric therapy in the third line therapy. Factors affecting the eradication rates, including the antibiotic resistance, CYP2C19 polymorphism, CagA and VacA status will also be assessed.

Read the detailed description

The primary aim of this study is to compare the regimens selected using either one of the method (1) genotypic resistance guided versus (2) medication history guided therapy. (rather than to compare the efficacy of any drugs).

Self Efficacy
Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Eradication rate after third line rescue therapy

    Primary End Point: Eradication rate will be evaluated according to Intent-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) analyses.

    (genotypic resistance versus empirical therapy) Urea breath test will be used to determine the eradication status

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. eradication rates in subgroup analysis by antibiotic resistance and regimen

    eradication rate in subgroup analysis according to antibiotic resistance and treatment regimen

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing empirical therapy and Genotypic resistance guided therapy in people with Self Efficacy, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 2 sites 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 Jyh-Ming Liou, MD (+886223123456 ext. 63541, dtmed046@pchome.com.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Eradication rate after third line rescue therapy (time frame: 8 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01725906, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 May 2017.
