Trial summary

The diagnostic tests used to detect Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection are either direct and invasive, as in culture, histology and the rapid urease test (RUT) or noninvasive, such as serology, the 13C-Urea breathe test or the stool antigen test. However, there is no single reference method to detect the H. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Study of the Performances of a Fast Diagnosis Immunochromatographic Test for the Detection of Helicobacter Pylori (H. Pylori) Antigens in Child Stool

The diagnostic tests used to detect Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection are either direct and invasive, as in culture, histology and the rapid urease test (RUT) or noninvasive, such as serology, the 13C-Urea breathe test or the stool antigen test. However, there is no single reference method to detect the H. pylori infection reliably and accurately. The specificity of gastric biopsy cultures is 100%, but the sensitivity is lower. Histology and RUT provide excellent diagnostic accuracy, but the detection of H. pylori is decreased in cases of bleeding peptic ulcers or gastric atrophy. Therefore, it is recommended that at least two tests should agree when defining the H. pylori infection in children. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)-based methods have been shown to be the most reliable for H. pylori detection in adults and in children. In children, the reference method for H. pylori infection detection is invasive, namely upper digestive endoscopy with gastric biopsy for histology, culture, RUT and qPCR. A noninvasive alternative to detect H. pylori antigen in stools could use a quick one-step immuno-chromatographic technique.

The aim of this study was to assess the performance of a new quick, noninvasive, one-step immuno-chromatographic, stool antigen test (ALERE Inc, Jouy-en-Josas, France) for the detection of H. pylori infection in children.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Helicobacter Pylori Infection, run by Lille Catholic University at 1 site in France.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 30 Oct 2017. 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 France. 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?

Performance of a new quick, noninvasive, one-step immuno-chromatographic, stool antigen test France) for the detection of H. pylori infection in children (time frame: Baseline). 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 30 Oct 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
