Trial summary

Clarithromycin-containing triple therapy is still the primary therapy approved by the Korean government. However, studies of antibiotic resistance have shown that regional resistance patterns to antibiotics such as clarithromycin are increasing. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Helicobacter Pylori Eradication According to DPO-PCR Methods: Duration of Triple Therapy and Bismuth Quadruple According to Clarithromycin Resistance Patterns (K-CREATE Study)

Clarithromycin-containing triple therapy is still the primary therapy approved by the Korean government. However, studies of antibiotic resistance have shown that regional resistance patterns to antibiotics such as clarithromycin are increasing. Recent studies show that examining genotype resistance is effective in eradication. Currently, dual priming oligonucleotide-polymerase chain reaction (DPO-PCR) is used to measure clarithromycin resistance. No study has compared the duration of eradication regimens according to DPO-PCR results. This study compares the eradication rate of 7-day triple therapy with 14-day triple therapy in clarithromycin susceptible strains from DPO-PCR. The investigators also aimed to compare the eradication rates of 7-day bismuth quadruple therapy with 14-day bismuth quadruple therapy from clarithromycin-resistant strains from DPO-PCR.

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-center study performed at 20 university hospitals. The study is composed of two phases. In phase I, patients with H. pylori infection are randomized to receive tailored or empirical therapy. The empirical therapy group is further randomized to receive either 7-day triple therapy or 14-day triple therapy. The tailored group is randomized to receive triple therapy if they are clarithromycin sensitive or bismuth quadruple therapy if they are clarithromycin resistant. Each group is further randomized to receive either seven or 14 days of treatment. The eradication rates and adverse events of each regimen will be investigated.

In phase 2, patients with H. pylori infection are randomized to receive tailored or empirial therapy. The empirical therapy group receives 14 days of triple therapy. The tailored therapy group receives 7-day triple therapy if they are clarithromycin sensitive and 7-day bismuth quadruple therapy if clarithromycin resistant.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Duration of eradication regimen in people with Helicobacter Pylori Infection, run by Incheon St.Mary's 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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 May 2024. 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.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Joon S Kim, MD, PhD (82322805057, kijoons@nate.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Eradication rate (time frame: At least 4 weeks from eradication regimen). 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 16 May 2024.
