Trial summary

Dexlansoprazole MR is the R-enantiomer of lansoprazole that is delivered by a dual delayed release formulation. It is effective for symptom control of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease. However, its efficacy in the treatment of H.pylori infection remains unclear. Read more about this study

About this study

Dexlansoprazole MR is the R-enantiomer of lansoprazole that is delivered by a dual delayed release formulation. It is effective for symptom control of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease. However, its efficacy in the treatment of H.pylori infection remains unclear. This study was conducted to investigate whether the efficacy of single-dose dexlansoprazole MR-based triple therapy was non-inferior to double-dose rabeprazole-based triple therapy in the treatment of H.pylori infection.

Read the detailed description

Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infect more than 50% of humans globally. It is the major cause of chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, gastric adenocarcinoma and gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALToma). H.pylori eradication has become the standard and most widely adopted therapy to cure peptic ulcer disease. This therapy is also strongly recommended in the treatment of H pylori-related MALToma. In regions with high incidence of gastric adenocarcinoma, eradication of H pylori is advocated as a preventative measure. Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) is one of the key medicines in anti-H pylori regimens. It possesses anti-H pylori activity, and, by reducing gastric acid secretion, it also increases bioavailability and activity of some antibiotics. This study was conducted to investigate whether the efficacy of single-dose dexlansoprazole MR-based triple therapy was non-inferior to double-dose rabeprazole-based triple therapy in the treatment of H pylori infection.

What is being measured

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

  1. The rate of H.pylori eradication

    Evaluate eradication outcome by 13C urea breath test

    Measured: 6 weeks after finishing study drugs

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Drug Compliance

    Good drug compliance measured by number of subjects taking >= 80% eradication medicines

    Measured: 6 weeks after finishing study drugs

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing dexlansoprazole based triple therapy and rabeprazole-based triple therapy in people with Helicobacter Pylori Infection, run by Kaohsiung Medical University 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 3 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 4 Sep 2015. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

The rate of H.pylori eradication (time frame: 6 weeks after finishing study drugs). 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 4 Sep 2015.
