About this study

We aim to assess and compare the effectiveness of clarithromycin- and furazolidone-based regimens as primary therapies in eradicating H. pylori.

Read the detailed description

Helicobacter pylori plays a pivotal role in many diseases such as peptic ulcer disease and MALT lymphomas. And the prevalence of H. pylori is increasing in some parts of the world.

However, the eradication becomes increasingly difficult due to the growing antibiotic resistance. Bismuth-containing quadruple regimens are now recommended to serve as first-line therapies. Bismuth-clarithromycin-containing and bismuth-furazolidone-containing quadruple regimens are both in the list of the first regimens. And recent antimicrobial susceptibility tests showed us that the clarithromycin was increasingly resisted while furazolidone remained hardly resisted. The comparison between the effects of bismuth-clarithromycin-containing and bismuth-furazolidone-containing quadruple regimens is not so clear.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Furazolidone and Clarithromycin in people with Helicobacter Pylori, run by Shandong University at 1 site in China.

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 1 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 23 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 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?

the eradication rate of the two groups (time frame: 26 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 23 Jun 2020.
