Patients with dyspepsia will have negative impact to their life and common cause is Helicobactor pylori infection. Rapid urease test is the easy available and rapid method to test the infection but the test may be interfered by proton pump inhibitor, bismuth or antibiotics .In general, patients with dyspepsia usually… Read more about this study

About this study

Patients with dyspepsia will have negative impact to their life and common cause is Helicobactor pylori infection. Rapid urease test is the easy available and rapid method to test the infection but the test may be interfered by proton pump inhibitor, bismuth or antibiotics .In general, patients with dyspepsia usually take proton pump inhibitor to relieve dyspepsia so those patients may not stop the drug before test the infection with rapid urease test. So author aims to measure the sensitivity of rapid urease test from biopsy of body, which H. pylori would migrate if the patients still take proton pump inhibitor and biopsy of antrum, which is standard location of biopsy compare to pathology for H. pylori in each sites in patients who do not stop taking proton pump inhibitor

Read the detailed description

The investigators contacted patients who had an appointment for esophagoendoscopy(EGD) at Chulalongkorn Hospital to inform and review patient's history. If patients matched inclusion and did not meet exclusion criteria, the participants would tell the information of the study including proposal, method, risk and benefit then the investigators asked for consent to participate in the study.

If patients decided to participate then the investigator corrected the information in CRF form which was sex, age, underlying disease, smoking history, alcohol drinking history, current and past medication especially PPI and NSIADs, EGD and rapid urease test history, H. pylori treatment history, duration of taking PPI drug.

EGD was done by endoscopist with standard method. The investigator performed biopsy at antrum, 5 cm proximal to pylorus lesser curvature, and body, greater curvature opposite to angularis by standard forceps. The biopsy would take 2 times from each site for rapid urease test and histopathology test for H. pylori. The endoscopists change forceps after finishing biopsy in each site to reduce contamination. The EGD finding was recorded After the investigators test H. pylori by rapid urease test, the result was read at 24 hours at room temperature. The color changing from yellow to pink was positive test, which mean there was H. pylori infection. In contrast, negative test was no color changing.

For Histopathologic test, the investigators fixed sample in formalin, infiltrated the tissue with paraffin then embedded. Stained with Hematoxylin \& Eosin and looked for H. pylori by 2 histopathologists, who were blinded the result to each other and result of rapid urease test. If negative study, the histopathologists would stain tissue with giemsa and corrected data again. All gastric tissue will be sent for immunohistochemistry as a gold standard for this study.

What participants receive

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

  • rapid urease testDiagnostic test

    Also called pathologic test

    Rapid urease test is the test for H. pylori infection by detect the change of pH by urease enzyme metabolism.

    Pathologic test for H. pylori by H\&E stain and Giemsa stain Gold standard is a immunohistochemistry.

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity of rapid urease test for dectection of H.pylori from gastric antrum and body

    The sensitivity of rapid urease test for H.pylori diagnosis at antrum, body and both in patients stopping proton pump inhibitors less than 2 weeks

    Measured: 24 hours after test by rapid urease test

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing rapid urease test in people with Helicobacter Pylori Infection, run by King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Thailand.

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 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 18 Feb 2021. 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 Thailand. 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?

Sensitivity of rapid urease test for dectection of H.pylori from gastric antrum and body (time frame: 24 hours after test by rapid urease test). 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 18 Feb 2021.
