Trial summary

Helicobacter pylori has been recognized as a major pathogen in gastric carcinogenesis. Current guidelines recommend the H. pylori "test-and-treat" strategy for the purpose of primary and secondary gastric cancer prevention. Considering the "point of no return" theory, however, H.

About this study

Official title: Serum Pepsinogen After Helicobacter Pylori Eradication for the Gastric Cancer Prevention

Helicobacter pylori has been recognized as a major pathogen in gastric carcinogenesis. Current guidelines recommend the H. pylori "test-and-treat" strategy for the purpose of primary and secondary gastric cancer prevention. Considering the "point of no return" theory, however, H. pylori eradication cannot reduce the risk of gastric cancer in subjects with gastric atrophy and intestinal metaplasia. The intragastric hypoacidic environment is associated with the risk of intestinal-type gastric cancer development. Recently, the secretory ability of the stomach can be measured using the serum pepsinogen (PG) assay.

Read the detailed description

This study aimed to evaluate the change of serum PGs after H. pylori eradication success and identify the optimal timing of eradication.

What is being measured

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

  1. Serum pepsinogen change after H. pylori eradication

    Serum pepsinogen recovery

    Measured: after 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Helicobacter Pylori Eradication, run by Soonchunhyang University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 8 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 27 Jul 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 South Korea. 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?

Serum pepsinogen change after H. pylori eradication (time frame: after 8 weeks). 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 27 Jul 2020.
