The Effect of Radioactive Iodine Administration for Thyroid Diseases on H.Pylori Eradication

An observational study of Helicobacter Pylori Infected Patients and Thyroid Cancer Patients, run by Rabin Medical Center.

Unknown status

Status not confirmed. The sponsor has not verified this record for over two years, so it may be out of date.

Trial summary

Because of the high iodine uptake in the stomach, radioactive iodine treatment for thyroid diseases (cancer or hyperthyroidism) or radioactive iodine administered for thyroid scan may be able to eradicate H.pylori infection from the stomach of patients infected with H.pylori.

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 85 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Consecutive patients with thyroid diseases referred to the Isotopic Institute at the Rabin Medical Center, Campus Beilinson for either radioactive iodine (131I) thyroid scan or radioactive iodine (131I)treatment for their disease, will be tested, prior to the radioactive iodine, for H. pylori infection and CagA protein by serology. Patient with positive serology for H. pylori will be tested for active gastric infection using the H.pylori stool antigen test. The study population will include all patients who tested positive for H.pylori both on serology and stool antigen tests. Six to eight weeks and 6 month after administration of radioactive iodine (131I) , stool antigen or H.pylori will be tested again to confirm persistence of H.pylori eradication.

Who may be able to join

  • Adult patients between the ages of 18 and 80.
  • Patients with diagnosed thyroid disease referred for thyroid scan or treatment with radioactive iodine (131I).
  • Patients who provide informed consent

Who cannot join

  • Patients without diagnosed thyroid disease.
  • Patients who are pregnant or breast feeding.
  • Patients who have received previous treatment for H. pylori infection.
  • Patients taking proton pump inhibitors.
  • Patients with recent or current use of antibiotics.
  • Patients allergic to iodine (131I).

About this study

Official title: Effect of Radioactive Iodine on Eradication of Helicobacter Pylori in Patients Treated for Thyroid Diseases

Because of the high iodine uptake in the stomach, radioactive iodine treatment for thyroid diseases (cancer or hyperthyroidism) or radioactive iodine administered for thyroid scan may be able to eradicate H.pylori infection from the stomach of patients infected with H.pylori.

Also to test the hypothesis that CagA virulent strains of H.pylori are more common in patients with thyroid cancer than with other thyroid diseases.

Read the detailed description

Objective To test eradicate H.pylori after administration of radioactive iodine (131I) to patients with thyroid diseases and to evaluate their H.pylori CagA status .

Design Observational study

Setting

The Isotopic Institute at the Rabin Medical Center, Campus Beilinson Patients Consecutive patients with thyroid diseases referred to the Isotopic Institute at the Rabin Medical Center, Campus Beilinson for either radioactive iodine (131I) thyroid scan or radioactive iodine (131I)treatment for their disease, will be screened, prior to the radioactive iodine, for H. pylori infection and CagA protein by serology. Patient with positive serology for H. pylori will be tested for active gastric infection using the H.pylori stool antigen test. The study population will include all patients who tested positive for H.pylori both by serology and stool antigen tests. Six to eight weeks and 6 month after administration of radioactive iodine (131I) treatment , stool antigen or H.pylori will be tested again to confirm persistence of H.pylori eradication.

Main Outcome Measure confirmed H.pylori eradication by the stool antigen test. The rate of infection with virulent and caricogenic CagA H.pylori ,will be tested using the immunoblot assay.

Summary

We will test in this study whether Helicobacter pylori is eradicated, after radioactive iodine (131I) administration, from the stomach of patients with thyroid diseases. The rate of CagA virulent and carcinogenic H.pylori infection in theses patients will be assessed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Helicobacter Pylori Infected Patients and Thyroid Cancer Patients, run by Rabin Medical Center.

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 6 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 14 Jan 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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.

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 14 Jan 2009.
