About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether detection of pepsinogen Ⅰand Ⅱ combined with Helicobacter pylori antibody, so-called ABC method , is fit on gastric cancer screening in community of Wuxi City.

Read the detailed description

Gastric cancer is the third largest cause of cancer related deaths in China with about 350 ,000 gastric cancer-related deaths by gastric cancer in 2012. The studies from Japan and Korea have found gastric cancer screening, especially of the mass population, reduces mortality from gastric cancer, but the data is seldom in China. The ways include radiographic and endoscopic screening, although those methods were shown to reduce gastric cancer mortality, and was recommended as gold standard for population-based screening by Japan and Korea, but many problems have been pointed out: A serious drawback is low uptake of the target population; fear for radiation exposure(0.6 mSv), swallowing unpleasantness due to the use of barium meal, accidental fall during the examination and constipation, causing rare but more serious complications such as intestinal obstruction or diverticulitis after examination may account for the reasons for this low uptake, endoscopic screening is labor-intensive, more costly per examination as complete disinfection of the scope is mandatory, and requires a large number of well-trained experienced endoscopists.

Serological method, so-called ABC method , has been useful as gastric cancer preliminary screening in some areas, such as China, Japan and Korea. The major reasons are attributed to its simplicity, safety (radiation-free, discomfort free), and cost-efficiency. The ABC method is a blood test to stratify the risk of gastric cancer using the combination of H. pylori antibody and pepsinogen I and II, that was documented by large-scale studies in Japan. But the data was short in China, especially in the community.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing serological examination and gastroscope in people with Stomach Neoplasms, run by Wuxi People's Hospital.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jan 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

detection rate of gastric cancer among all group (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 26 Jan 2016.
