About this study

Official title: Comparison of 7-day Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI)-Clarithromycin Containing Triple Therapy and 10-day Bismuth Quadruple Therapy for Helicobacter Eradication as First-line Regimen: Randomized Controlled Trial

In this randomized controlled trial, we investigate the effect of 10-day bismuth quadruple therapy in comparison with that of 7-day PPI-based standard triple as 1st line treatment for H. pylori.

Read the detailed description

Current Helicobacter pylori management guidelines recommend proton-pump inhibitor (PPI)-Clarithromycin containing triple therapy as 1st line treatment. However, in Korea, eradication rates of PPI-Clarithromycin containing triple therapy have been decreased to less than 80% due to increased clarithromycin resistance. In areas of high clarithromycin resistance (resistance rate more than 15%), guidelines recommend bismuth quadruple therapy as a 1st line treatment for H. pylori eradication. Clarithromycin resistance rates reported from 15.7% to 42.1% in Korea, thus, bismuth quadruple therapy may be better 1st line treatment than PPI-Clarithromycin containing triple therapy. However, only one limited study was performed to compare effects of the both treatment regimens in Korea. Thus, studies evaluating the effect of 10-day bismuth quadruple therapy as the first line treatment for H. pylori infection.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Complications of H. pylori treatment

    Measured: 1 month after H. pylori treatment

  2. Compliance to H. pylori treatment

    Measured: 1 month

  3. H. pylori infection status at 1 year after H. pylori treatment

    Measured: 1 year after H. pylori treatment

  4. H. pylori reinfection rate

    Measured: 3 years after success of H. pylori eradication

  5. Factors associated with H. pylori reinfection

    Measured: 3 years after success of H. pylori treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Standard triple therapy and Bismuth quadruple therapy in people with Helicobacter Pylori Infection and Family History of Stomach Cancer, run by National Cancer Center, Korea 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 8 inclusion and 11 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 8 Apr 2020. 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 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?

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?

H. pylori eradication rate (time frame: 8 weeks after H. pylori treatment). 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 NCT02557932, 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 Apr 2020.
