Trial summary

Although endoscopic findings of H. pylori have been reported in the literature, there is still some debate over whether H. pylori-related gastritis can be diagnosed via endoscopic features alone. Most studies concluded that it is not possible to diagnose H. pylori-related gastritis on the basis of endoscopic findings. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Detection of Helicobacter Pylori Infection by Non-magnifying High Resolution Endoscopy is Possible Within the Gastric Corpus

Although endoscopic findings of H. pylori have been reported in the literature, there is still some debate over whether H. pylori-related gastritis can be diagnosed via endoscopic features alone. Most studies concluded that it is not possible to diagnose H. pylori-related gastritis on the basis of endoscopic findings. However, the resolution power of endoscopy has greatly improved in recent years and the exact examination of gastric mucosa was possible.

Read the detailed description

Our study aimed to achieve the following: (1) describe the H. pylori-related mucosal pattern in the gastric corpus using high-definition endoscopy; (2) evaluate the diagnostic accuracy for H. pylori detection; (3) find the optimal biopsy site for rapid urease test (RUT); (4) validate the inter- and intraobserver agreement in the assessment of endoscopic patterns.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Helicobacter-associated Gastritis, run by Kyunghee University Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 9 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 20 Apr 2012. 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 South Korea. 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?

Diagnosis accuracy for predicting of Helicobacter pylori infection status (time frame: 1 day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01434992, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 20 Apr 2012.
