About this study

Official title: Helicobacter Pylori Eradication to Prevent Gastric Cancer in Subjects With Family History of Gastric Cancer: A Randomized Controlled Study

This study evaluate whether treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection reduces the incidence of gastric cancer in subjects with family history of gastric cancer.

Read the detailed description

Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with gastric cancer in epidemiological studies. However, it is still unknown whether H. pylori eradication is useful and required to prevent gastric cancer.

Gastric cancer risk is increased in family members of gastric cancer patient. Though there is no direct evidence that H. pylori infection is a risk factor for gastric cancer in family members of gastric cancer, current European guideline recommends H. pylori eradication in first-degree relatives of gastric cancer patients.

In this study, the investigators will evaluate whether H. pylori eradication can reduce gastric cancer risk in the first-degree family members of gastric cancer patients.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Lansoprazole placebo, amoxicillin placebo, and clarithromycin placebo, all twice a day for 1 week.

  • LAC triple therapyDrug

    Also called PPI-Clarithromycin containing triple therapy

    Lansoprazole 30 mg, amoxicillin 1,000 mg, and clarithromycin 500 mg, all twice a day for 1 week.

What is being measured

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

  1. Gastric cancer incidence

    The incidence of gastric cancer will be compared between the two arms as the participant assigned into either LAC treatment group or placebo group regardless the final H. pylori infection status.

    Currently, efficacy of LAC triple therapy shows about 75-85% eradication rate of the H. pylori.

    Measured: 6 years after last participant enrollment

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Gastric dysplasia incidence

    Incidence of gastric dysplasia according to the H. pylori treatment

    Measured: 6 year after last participant enrollment

  2. Gastric cancer incidence between H. pylori treatment and H. pylori uninfected groups

    Gastric cancer incidence between H. pylori treatment group and H. pylori uninfected group

    Measured: 6 year after last participant enrollment

  3. Gastric cancer incidence according to H. pylori status

    Gastric cancer incidence between H. pylori eradicated group and H. pylori persistent group

    Measured: 6 year after last participant enrollment

  4. All-cause mortality

    All-cause mortality between H. pylori treatment group and placebo group

    Measured: 6 year after last participant enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing LAC triple therapy in people with Gastric Cancer and Helicobacter Pylori Infection, run by National Cancer Center, Korea 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 2 inclusion and 11 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Nov 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 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Gastric cancer incidence (time frame: 6 years after last participant enrollment). 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 NCT01678027, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 9 Nov 2023.
