Trial summary

Gastric low-grade mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALToma) is associated with Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection, and around 70% of these tumors can be cured by HP eradication therapy (HPE). However, the role of antibiotics in the frontline treatment of extragastric MALToma remains unclear. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prospective Study of Frontline Helicobacter Pylori Eradication Therapy in the Treatment of Early-stage Extragastric Mucosa-associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma

Gastric low-grade mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALToma) is associated with Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection, and around 70% of these tumors can be cured by HP eradication therapy (HPE). However, the role of antibiotics in the frontline treatment of extragastric MALToma remains unclear. In addition to anecdotal case reports showing histologic regression of extragastric MALTomas after antibiotics, our explorative study found that frontline HPE (clarithromycin, amoxicillin, and omeprazole) resulted in complete remission (CR) in this subgroup patients (2 salivary gland, 1 lung, 1 colon, and 4 ocular adnexal MALToma [OAML]). Interestingly, two patients with OAML who do not respond to Chlamydia psittaci (CP) eradication using doxycycline achieved CR after HPE. These findings suggest that bacterial infections, including HP, may be involved in the lymphomagenesis of these extragastric MALTomas. Our preliminary results also revealed that 5 (23.8%) of 21 HP-negative gastric MALToma patients achieved CR after HPE, indicating that antibiotics may also have ability to eradicate non-HP bacteria. Based on our preliminary findings and the indolent biologic behavior of MALToma, it is reasonable to use frontline HPE in the treatment of early-stage low-grade extragastric MALToma.

Read the detailed description

Through a prospective trial of frontline HPE in the treatment of early-stage extragastric MALToma, investigators will evaluate and investigate the following issues:

  1. The CR and partial remission (PR) rate for antibiotics as 1st-line therapy for stage IE and stage IIE extragastric MALToma
  2. The durability of CR and PR (relapse-free survival) after antibiotics treatment (HPE) in early-stage extragastric MALToma
  3. The assessment of the evidence of bacterial infection, such as HP, in extragastric MALToma.
  4. The identification of potential biomarkers that help us predict whether extragastric MALToma can respond to frontline HPE.

What is being measured

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

  1. The complete and partial remission rate for antibiotics as 1st-line therapy for stage IE-IIE1 extragastric MALT lymphoma.

    The complete remission rate and partial remission rate for antibiotics (HP eradicaiton) as 1st-line therapy for early-stage extragastric MALT lymphoma

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. The overall survival of early-stage extragastric MALT lymphoma patients who received frontline HP eradication therapy

    Measured: 5 years

  2. The assessment of the evidence of bacterial infection in all extragstric MALT lymphoma

    Measured: 5 years

  3. The usefulness of pattern of NF-κB, BCL10, BAFF, API2-MALT1, and IgH-MALT1 by IHC staining or FISH in prospectively predicting the antibiotics responsiveness of extragastric MALT lymphoma

    Measured: 5 years

  4. The relapse-free survival of early-stage extragastric MALT lymphoma patients who received antibiotics as 1st-line therapy

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 7 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 8 Dec 2016. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Sung-Hsin Kuo, M.D.,Ph.D (+886-2-23123456 ext. 67144, shkuo101@ntu.edu.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The complete and partial remission rate for antibiotics as 1st-line therapy for stage IE-IIE1 extragastric MALT lymphoma. (time frame: 5 years). 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 8 Dec 2016.
