About this study

Previous studies suggest that chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is associated with Helicobacter pylori infection. The objective is to study the effect of Helicobacter pylori eradication on platelet count.

Read the detailed description

Children with chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura who have Helicobacter pylori infection are enrolled. Helicobacter pylori infection is diagnosed by urea breath test. Patients who have Helicobacter pylori infection will be randomized into 2 groups: control and treatment groups. The treatment group will receive 2 antibiotics and proton-pump inhibitors for 14 days for eradication of infection. Repeated urea breath test at week 6-8 after treatment. Blood tests for platelet count will be performed every month for 6 months in both groups. Platelet count at 6 months in both group will be compared.Blood for platelet antibody will be performed at 3 and 6 months. Control group will receive treatment for Helicobacter pylori at the end of the study.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing lansoprazole, clarithromycin, amoxycillin in people with Chronic Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura and Helicobacter Pylori Infection, run by Mahidol University 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 May 2013. 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.

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?

platelet count (time frame: 6 months). 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 3 May 2013.
