Intraluminal Clarithromycin Powder Monotherapy for Helicobacter Pylori Infection
A Phase 4 study testing Clarithromycin and Amoxicillin, Clarithromycin in people with Helicobacter Pylori Infection, run by Mackay Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.
Trial summary
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is the most common chronic bacterial infection in humans. The prevalence of H. pylori is about 30~50% in the Western adult population. It is estimated that about 50% of people are infected with this bacterium in Taiwan. Many studies have shown that H. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Visiting Staff, Division of Gastroenterology and Department of Internal Medicine, Mackay Memorial Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is the most common chronic bacterial infection in humans. The prevalence of H. pylori is about 30~50% in the Western adult population. It is estimated that about 50% of people are infected with this bacterium in Taiwan. Many studies have shown that H. pylori is an important causal factor of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, gastric cancer and gastric lymphoma. The World Health Organization classified H. pylori as a Group 1 carcinogen in 1994. Endoscopic examination is indicated to confirm the above diagnosis for patient with H. pylori infection. Eradication of H. pylori infection reduces the risk of gastric cancer and recurrence of peptic ulcer disease. However, the eradication rate of clarithromycin-based triple therapy has been declining in recent years, probably related to the increasing resistant rate to clarithromycin. Several strategies have been proposed to overcome the declining eradication rate, including (1) extending the treatment duration of triple therapy to 14 days; (2) the use of bismuth quadruple therapy which contains bismuth, a proton pump inhibitor, and two antibiotics (usually metronidazole and tetracycline); (3) non-bismuth quadruple therapy (concomitant therapy) which contains a proton pump inhibitor and three antibiotics (usually amoxicillin, metronidazole, and clarithromycin); (4) sequential therapy which contains a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) plus amoxicillin for five days, followed by a PPI plus clarithromycin and tinidazole for another five days. The investigators aim to evaluate the efficacy of Clarithromycin powder in the Intraluminal therapy for Helicobacter pylori infection while an endoscopic examination is performed.
Read the detailed description
During the endoscopic examination, patient is sedated with intravenous Dormicum 5mg (5mg/1ml/amp), the vital signs will be closely monitored by physiological monitor (PHILIPS SureSigns VM6). The treatment will be terminated immediately if unstable vital sign detected or if patient asks for termination. Patients will receive test for UFT300 to evaluate H. pylori colonization in the gastric cardia. With endoscope apparatus, the gastric mucous is irrigated with acetylcysteine solution and the pH value of gastric juice will be measured with the pH test strips before irrigation and after irrigation. The investigators dispense medicaments containing Clarithromycin powder (1 gm) on the surface of gastric mucosa and duodenal mucosa of duodenal bulb as evenly as possible. After the intraluminal therapy, patients will rest for 30 to 60 minutes and go home if the effect of sedation subsided. Patients can take meal if no abdominal discomfort. C13-Urea breath test (UBT) will be used to assess the existence of H. pylori 6 weeks after the intraluminal therapy. Patients fail to achieve intraluminal eradication of H. pylori will be assigned to the oral antibiotic rescue therapies with triple therapy which contains a proton pump inhibitor and two antibiotics ( amoxicillin and clarithromycin) for 14 days. C13-UBT will be used to assess the existence of H. pylori 6 weeks after the rescue therapy. Overall eradication rates after the first line intraluminal therapy and the oral antibiotics rescue therapies will be evaluated.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Clarithromycin and Amoxicillin, Clarithromycin in people with Helicobacter Pylori Infection, run by Mackay Memorial 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 3 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 Feb 2019. 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.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
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?
Eradication rate in the intraluminal therapy (time frame: 6 weeks after finishing therapy). 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 15 Feb 2019.
