About this study

Official title: A Randomized Double-Blind, Double-Dummy, Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Oral TAK-438 20 mg Compared to Lansoprazole 30 mg Once- or Twice-Daily in the Treatment of Endoscopically Confirmed Duodenal Ulcer Subjects With or Without Helicobacter Pylori Infection

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the non-inferior efficacy of TAK-438 versus lansoprazole in the treatment of participants with duodenal ulcer.

Read the detailed description

The drug being tested in this study is called TAK-438. TAK-438 is being tested to treat people who have duodenal ulcers and also may or may not have Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection. This study will look at duodenal ulcer healing and also the elimination of HP in people who take TAK-438 versus lansoprazole. The study will enroll approximately 530 patients.

Participants were randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of the two treatment groups-which remained undisclosed to the participant and study doctor during the study (unless there is an urgent medical need):

  • TAK-438 20 mg
  • Lansoprazole 30 mg

HP+ participants will be asked to take a TAK- 438 tablet and a lansoprazole capsule twice daily in conjunction with bismuth-containing quadruple therapy for 2 weeks, followed up by a TAK-438 tablet and a lansoprazole capsule once daily for up to 4 weeks. HP negative (HP-) participants will be asked to take a TAK-438 tablet and a lansoprazole capsule once daily for up to 6 weeks.

This multi-center trial will be conducted China, Korea and Taiwan. The overall time to participate in this study is up to 10 weeks. Participants will make multiple visits plus final visit at 2 weeks or 4 weeks after last dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Endoscopically Confirmed Healing of Duodenal Ulcers

    Endoscopic healing was defined as the disappearance of all white coats associated with duodenal ulcers as confirmed endoscopically.

    Measured: Week 4 or Week 6

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Percentage of Helicobacter Pylori Infected (HP+) Participants With Successful HP Eradication After 4 or 6 Weeks of Treatment

    HP infection status was determined by ^13C Urea Breath Test (^13C-UBT). The urea breath test is used to detect infection with HP, a bacteria associated with stomach ulcers, by testing individual breath samples in a central laboratory.

    Measured: 4 weeks post treatment (Up to 10 weeks)

  2. Percentage of Participants With Endoscopically Confirmed Healing of Duodenal Ulcer at Week 4

    Endoscopic healing is defined as the disappearance of all white coats associated with duodenal ulcers as confirmed endoscopically.

    Measured: Week 4

  3. Percentage of Participants With Posttreatment Resolution of Gastrointestinal Symptoms Associated With Duodenal Ulcer at Weeks 2 Through 6

    The percentage of participants with resolution of various gastrointestinal symptoms are reported as categories. Gastrointestinal symptoms included epigastric pain (postprandial, fasting, nocturnal), abdominal bloating, nausea/vomiting, heartburn and lack of appetite. The severity of subjective symptoms of erosive esophagitis were recorded as: none = 0, mild = 1, moderate = 2 or severe = 3.

    Measured: Week 2 up to Week 6

Yes: Takeda makes patient-level, de-identified data sets and associated documents available for all interventional studies after applicable marketing approvals and commercial availability have been received (or program is completely terminated), an opportunity for the primary publication of the research and final report development has been allowed, and other criteria have been met as set forth in Takeda's Data Sharing Policy (see www.TakedaClinicalTrials.com for details). To obtain access, researchers must submit a legitimate academic research proposal for adjudication by an independent review panel, who will review the scientific merit of the research and the requestor's qualifications and conflict of interest that can result in potential bias. Once approved, qualified researchers who sign a data sharing agreement are provided access to these data in a secure research environment.

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 18 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 12 Jun 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 81 sites in China, South Korea, Philippines, 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Jun 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percentage of Participants With Endoscopically Confirmed Healing of Duodenal Ulcers (time frame: Week 4 or Week 6). 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 NCT03050359, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 12 Jun 2020.
