About this study

Official title: Comparison of Rapid Urease Test Between the Gastric Body and Antrum in Helicobacter Pylori-Infected Stomach

The accurate diagnosis of H. pylori infection is an important step for establishing the strategy for gastric cancer prevention. During endoscopy, rapid urease test (RUT) is the first of biopsy-based H. pylori tests. Despite indirect test for H. pylori detection, RUT shows rapid result with good sensitivity and specificity. Several study reported that H. pylori density was related to positive reaction time of RUT. However, there was no study comparing the positive reaction times of RUT according to biopsy site, degree of gastric atrophy, and intestinal metaplasia.

Read the detailed description

The aims of this study were to: (1) assess the positive reaction times of RUT in the body and antrum, (2) investigate the association between the difference of RUT results (body and antrum) and gastric atrophy, and intestinal metaplasia, and (3) evaluate the optimal biopsy site for RUT according to degree of gastric atrophy in Korean population.

What is being measured

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

  1. Positive reaction time of urease test

    Color change to red or pink means positivity

    Measured: within 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Helicobacter Pylori Infection, run by Soonchunhyang University Hospital 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 Apr 2018. 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.

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?

Positive reaction time of urease test (time frame: within 24 hours). 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 Apr 2018.
