About this study

Numerous epidemiological studies have investigated the association between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with various conflicting results. The main objective of this study is to further explore the possible association between H. pylori infection and IBD and its impact on disease course. The investigators sought to conduct a prospective observational study and enroll a total of 182 IBD patients who were screened for H. pylori infection. All the participants will be clinically evaluated at the initial visit and bimonthly for 3 months. Several factors will be explored such are diet, physical activity, life style and considering specific environmental exposures that impact the development of disease or its relapse.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in the inflammatory bowel disease condition

    Change in the inflammatory bowel disease condition during follow up as measured by disease related symptoms [weight loss where weight will be measured and reported in kilograms]

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Change in the inflammatory bowel disease condition

    Change in the inflammatory bowel disease condition during follow up as measured by frequency of disease related symptoms [number of attacks disease related symptoms per day (diarrhea, tenesmus, bleeding per rectum, abdominal pain, indigestion)]

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Change in the inflammatory bowel disease condition

    Change in the inflammatory bowel disease condition during follow up as measured by changes in baseline laboratory parameters measured in serum samples [C reactive protein (IU/ml)]

    Measured: 3 months

  4. Change in the inflammatory bowel disease condition

    Change in the inflammatory bowel disease condition during follow up as measured by changes in baseline laboratory parameters measured in serum samples [Hemoglobin (g/dl)]

    Measured: 3 months

  5. Change in the inflammatory bowel disease condition

    Change in the inflammatory bowel disease condition during follow up as measured by changes in baseline laboratory parameters measured in blood samples [Complete blood picture including white blood count per cmm, platelets count per cmm]

    Measured: 3 months

  6. Change in the inflammatory bowel disease condition

    Change in the inflammatory bowel disease condition during follow up as measured by changes in baseline laboratory parameters measured in serum samples [ESR (mm/hr)]

    Measured: 3 months

  7. Change in the inflammatory bowel disease condition

    Change in the inflammatory bowel disease condition during follow up as measured by changes in baseline laboratory parameters measured in serum samples [Fasting blood glucose (mg/dl)]

    Measured: 3 months

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Change in the inflammatory bowel disease condition (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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?
