About this study

Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with several gastric diseases, including gastritis, peptic and duodenal ulcers, gastric carcinoma and MALToma. In 1994, the WHO classified the organism as a type 1 carcinogen. In order to eradicate H. pylori, at least two antibiotics and a proton pump inhibitor are used as a standard therapy regimen. Emerging antibiotic resistance to metronidazole or clarithromycin, however, has made successful treatment of infection progressively more difficult, with the success rate of standard triple therapy now at 70%, well below the 80% required for treatment of infectious diseases. Therefore, new treatment regimen is required for successful H. pylori eradication.

On the other hands, many in vitro studies revealed that bacterial carbonic anhydrase in H. pylori has an important role for surviving of H. pylori in the stomach. It was demonstrated that mutation of carbonic anhydrase affected survival of H. pylori. The investigators therefore expected that administration of carbonic anhydrase inhibitor (acetazolamide) with standard H. pylori eradication regimen would increase the eradication rate. Here, the investigators aim to evaluate the efficacy of standard triple regimen plus acetazolamide for H. pylori eradication.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Acetazolamide group and Standard regimen group in people with H. Pylori Infection, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 2 inclusion and 12 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Apr 2014. 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 South Korea. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

H. pylori eradication rate (time frame: 1 month from the eradication 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 29 Apr 2014.
