About this study

Official title: Helicobacter Pylori Eradication With Berberine Hydrochloride, Lansoprazole, Amoxicillin and Bismuth Versus Clarithromycin Bismuth, Lansoprazole and Amoxicillin: A Randomized, Open-label, Non-inferiority, Phase Ⅳ Trial

This study aims at evaluating efficacy and safety of berberine-containing quadruple therapy(berberine, lansoprazole, bismuth and amoxicillin) versus clarithromycin-containing quadruple therapy (clarithromycin,lansoprazole, bismuth and amoxicillin) in H. pylori eradication. It is hypothesized that berberine-containing quadruple therapy is non-inferior to clarithromycin-containing quadruple therapy. Patients with confirmed H. pylori positive status will be randomized to one of the treatments described above. At week 2 and 6 follow-up visits, a urea breath test(UBT) will be performed to confirm eradication.

Read the detailed description

The study will include three phases: screening, treatment and follow-up. Screening: this phase will last a maximum of 28 days and subjects eligibility will be evaluated after informed consent signature. Endoscopy and Urea Breath test will be performed in addition to the baseline routine evaluations.

Treatment: Subjects are randomly assigned to treatment and will be treated for 14 days. A randomization visit will take place on Day 0 and an end-of-treatment visit will take place between day 12 and 14.

Follow-up: includes two visits. approximately 14 days of treatment and 28 days after the end of treatment. Eradication of H. Pylori will be confirmed through urea breath test(UBT).

What is being measured

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

  1. helicobacter pylori eradication

    The primary end point of this study is H.pylori eradication,established by negative [13C] urea breath test 28 days after the end of eradication.

    Measured: 28 days after treatment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. symptoms effective rates

    Evaluation effective rate of symptoms 2 weeks of treatment and 4 weeks after the end of treatment.

    Symptom effective rate =(total score before treatment - total score after treatment)/total score before treatment x 100%. Total score = frequency + severity.

    Frequency score is calculated by all the frequency of heartburn, reflux, abdominal pain, and flatulence. Severity is accumulated by the degree of symptoms described above, which is divided to 4 degree as 0 presenting none, and 3 presenting most severe

    Measured: 14 days of treatment, and 28 days after treatment

  2. adverse events

    Participants with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability.The common side effects of the study include headache, dizziness, skin rash, other gastrointestinal disorders, pyrexia, cough and back pain.

    Measured: 14 days of treatment, and 28 days after treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Berberine, clarithromycin and Bismuth in people with Gastritis and Peptic Ulcer, run by Xijing Hospital of Digestive Diseases at 2 sites in China.

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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jan 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 China. 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?

helicobacter pylori eradication (time frame: 28 days after treatment). 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 18 Jan 2017.
