Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 55 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Study population: 1750 clinically-well, adult (age 18-55 years), recent immigrants (<2 years U.S. residence), referred through cooperating public health clinics in the Santa Clara Valley area, CA will be screened for H. pylori, helminth, and latent tuberculosis infections ["Screening" population]. Of these 1750, 426 will be selected for more intensive study (Cohort population), 105 of whom will receive baseline endoscopy. Of those selected for the cohort, 300 are expected to complete a 9-month follow-up assessment, 75 of whom are expected to undergo a second follow-up endoscopy.

Who may be able to join

  • Between 18-55 years of age
  • Either sex
  • If female not pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Lived in the United States less than 2 years
  • Healthy
  • Scheduled for Tuberculosis Skin Test (TST)

Who cannot join

  • Under 18 and older than 55 years of age,
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding

About this study

Official title: Epidemiology of H. Pylori Transmission and Immunoepidemiology of Concomitant Infections

This observational epidemiologic study with nested cross-sectional and longitudinal aims will evaluate host immune response to mixed chronic infections (Helicobacter pylori, latent tuberculosis, intestinal helminthiasis) in recent US immigrants.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in cytokine responses from baseline at 9 months in TB and H. pylori antigen-induced PBMC before and after provider managed treatment of latent TB or helminth infection

    Measured: Baseline and 9 months after treatment for either latent TB or helminth infections; analyzed after all subjects recruited (3 years of recruitment plus 9 months follow-up).

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Correlation of cytokine response to TB antigens and helminths with humoral responses to infections with H. pylori.

    Measured: Assays performed when collected over three years from recruited subjects; analyzed at the end of three years.

  2. Population prevalence of individual and joint infections with H pylori, latent tuberculosis, heminthiasis in recent immigrant to northern California

    We compare prevalence of these infections in recent immigrants by geographic area

    Measured: Assays performed when collected over three years from recruited subjects; analyzed at the end of three years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Communicable Diseases, run by Stanford University at 2 sites in United States.

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 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Apr 2016. 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 United States. 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.

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?

Change in cytokine responses from baseline at 9 months in TB and H. pylori antigen-induced PBMC before and after provider managed treatment of latent TB or helminth infection (time frame: Baseline and 9 months after treatment for either latent TB or helminth infections; analyzed after all subjects recruited (3 years of recruitment plus 9 months follow-up).). 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 NCT02740140, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 15 Apr 2016.
