About this study

Official title: Clinical Validation Study to Evaluate Presence of H. Pylori With 13C-Urea Breath Test Using the BreathID® Hp Lab System Compared to Biopsy Results

The Exalenz Dual Mode BreathID® Hp System comprised of IDkit: Hp™ TWO and the Dual Mode BreathID® Hp test device will be used to perform a urea breath test in the initial diagnosis and post treatment monitoring of H.pylori infection in adult patients and its results will be compared to biopsy results.

Read the detailed description

Patients undergoing esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) for initial diagnosis of H.pylori infection or post therapy confirmation of eradication will be eligible to participate in the trial. Two sets of biopsies will be taken: one set for histological analysis and one set for rapid urease test (RUT) analysis. The two results will be used as a gold standard composite score in determining the presence of H.pylori bacteria in the stomach. The Urea Breath Test (UBT) using the Exalenz Dual Mode BreathID Hp System will also be performed within a week of the biopsy. The outcome of the UBT will be compared to composite score of the biopsy and the accuracy of the UBT will be evaluated. The UBT will be performed using breath collection bags, where the subject will be asked to breathe into the bags before and after ingestion of the 13C-labelled urea.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Dual Mode BreathID Hp SystemDevice

    Also called Hp™ TWO, Dual Mode BreathID® Hp

    The Dual Mode Breath ID Hp System consists of breath collection bags, a 13C-labelled substrate (urea) and a breath analyzer device

Study groups in NCT02528721
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Initial Diagnosis SubjectsExperimentalPatients with clinical indication for H.pylori infection
Receives: Device: Dual Mode BreathID Hp System
Post Therapy SubjectsExperimentalPatients wishing to confirm eradication of initially diagnosed H.pylori infection that are after treatment within the last 6 months

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity is Described as the Accuracy of the Breath Test in Detecting H.Pylori Infection Compared to Biopsy

    Sensitivity of urea breath test with Dual Mode Breath Hp System in accurately detecting presence of H.pylori infection as compared to composite biopsy result

    Measured: 9 months

  2. Specificity as Described as the Accuracy of the Breath Test in Detecting Absence of H.Pylori Infection Compared to Biopsy

    Specificity of urea breath test with Dual Mode Breath Hp System in accurately detecting lack of presence of H.pylori infection as compared to composite biopsy result

    Measured: 9 months

  3. Overall Agreement in Determining Presence or Absence of H.Pylori Infection Compared to Biopsy

    Overall Agreement of urea breath test with Dual Mode Breath Hp System in accurately detecting presence of H.pylori infection as compared to composite biopsy result

    Measured: 9 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Dual Mode BreathID Hp System in people with Helicobacter Pylori Infection, run by Meridian Bioscience, Inc. at 13 sites in 2 countries.

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 8 inclusion and 6 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 20 Dec 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in United States, Israel. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Mar 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Sensitivity is Described as the Accuracy of the Breath Test in Detecting H.Pylori Infection Compared to Biopsy (time frame: 9 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 20 Dec 2022.
