The patients will be subjected to: Full history taking, clinical examination, liver function tests, renal function tests, CBC, INR, abdominal ultrasonography.

About 200 patients diagnosed to have H. pylori by infection by microscopically examined, endoscopic gastric biopsies will be enrolled in our study.

All available formalin fixed and paraffin embedded tissue blocks of gastric endoscopic biopsies will be resectioned and stained with Haematoxylin and Eosin. Modified Giemsa stain, and Alcian blue/ PAS stain will be used for verification of Helicobacter pylori and demonstration of intestinal metaplasia respectively.

Biopsies will be classified using the Updated Sydney system of classification of gastritis

Read the detailed description

The patients will be randomized (closed envelopes) into one of two groups:

  1. patients will receive concomitant therapy comprising of pantoprazole (40 mg twice daily), amoxicillin (1 gm twice a day), clarithromycin (500 mg twice a day) and metronidazole (500 mg twice a day) for 2 weeks.
  2. patients will receive LOAD therapy comprising of levofloxacin (250 mg with breakfast), omeprazole (40 mg before breakfast), nitazoxanide (Alina) (500 mg twice daily with meals) and doxycycline (100 mg at dinner) for 10 days.
  3. Pylori eradication will be confirmed by H. Pylori stool antigen testing at least 4 weeks after cessation of antibiotic therapy with stoppage of PPI therapy at least one to two weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Comparing Load and Concomitant therapy in people with H. Pylori Infection, run by Helwan University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 7 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 26 Sep 2023. 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 Egypt. 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?

Eradication of H. pylori infection after treatment (time frame: 4 weeks after end of treatment). 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 26 Sep 2023.
