About this study

Official title: Efficacies of Antimicrobial Susceptibility-Guided Versus Empirical Therapy for Rescue Treatment of Helicobacter Pylori Infection-A Randomized Clinical Trial

The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy of 14-day antimicrobial susceptibility test guided quadruple therapy for the rescue treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection, then comparing it with 14-day empirical therapy according to personal medication history.

Read the detailed description

Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori), which infects about 50% of the global population, has been classified as the first risk factor of gastric cancer. Strong evidence supports that H.pylori eradication is an effective approach to reduce the incidence of those pathological processes. Antimicrobial susceptibility test can pick out sensitive drugs to kill H.pylori, and reduce secondary drug resistance. However, there is a lack of high quality RCT to evaluate its efficacy in the rescue treatment of Helicobacter infection.

The investigator's study aims to assess the efficacy of 14-day antimicrobial susceptibility test guided quadruple therapy for the rescue treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection. Then, comparing this regimen with 14-day empirical therapy according to personal medication history to tell which one is better in clinic practice.

Being tested
two sensitive antibiotics(amoxicillin, clarithromycin, metronidazole, tinidazole, levofloxacin, furazolidone and tetracycline), one proton pump inhibitor, colloidal bismuth pectin, two antibiotics based on personal medication history(amoxicillin,levofloxacin, furazolidone)

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • two sensitive antibiotics(amoxicillin, clarithromycin, metronidazole, tinidazole, levofloxacin, furazolidone and tetracycline)Drug

    Patients will receive a 14-day quadruple therapy for the H.pylori eradication. The regimen contains one proton pump inhibitor, colloidal bismuth pectin and two sensitive antibiotics determined by antimicrobial susceptibility test. The susceptibility of amoxicillin, clarithromycin, metronidazole, tinidazole, levofloxacin, furazolidone and tetracycline will be evaluated.

  • one proton pump inhibitor, colloidal bismuth pectinDrug

    All patients need these two drugs.

  • two antibiotics based on personal medication history(amoxicillin,levofloxacin, furazolidone)Drug

    Patients will receive a 14-day quadruple therapy according to personal medication history for helicobacter pylori eradication. The regimen contains one proton pump inhibitor, Colloidal Bismuth Pectin and two antibiotics based on personal medication history. If the patient hasn't been treated with levofloxacin previously, he will be treated with amoxicillin and levofloxacin. Otherwise, he will be treated with amoxicillin and furazolidone.

What is being measured

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

  1. Eradication rates

    Both intention to treat(ITT) and per-protocol(PP) analyses will be used for the assessment of the eradication rates of Helicobacter pylori infection. The ITT analysis includes all randomly assigned patients who take at least one dose of the study medications. The PP analysis is limited to patients who take over 90% of the study medications and complete follow-up.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The rates of adverse events happening

    Common adverse events will be measured using a 8-point Likert scale, and patients rate their symptoms from 0 (none) to 8 (severe) during the treatment process.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. The rates of improving dyspepsia symptoms after helicobacter pylori eradication.

    Dyspepsia symptoms will also be measured using a 8-point Likert scale.be compared. Common adverse events will be measured using a 8-point Likert scale. Patients rate their symptoms from 0 (none) to 8 (severe) before and after the treatment process.

    Measured: 6 months

  3. The rates of good compliance.

    Patients taken over 90% of drugs are considered to have a good compliance.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

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 2 inclusion and 6 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 May 2020. 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 China. 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 rates (time frame: 6 months). 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 12 May 2020.
