About this study

Official title: Efficacy of High-dose Dual Therapy Versus Bismuth-containing Quadruple Therapy for First-line Treatment of Helicobacter Pylori Infection - A Prospective, Randomized, Comparative Study

Up to now, there is few randomized, large scale study prospectively and simultaneously comparing the efficacy, adverse effects and patient adherence of high-dose dual therapy (HDDT) and bismuth-containing quadruple therapy (BQT) as 1st-line regimens for H. pylori eradication.

The aims of this study are:

  1. to compare the efficacy of HDDT, and BQT as 1st-line regimen in H. pylori eradication;
  2. to compare the patient adherence and adverse effects of these treatment regimens;
  3. to investigate factors that may influence H. pylori eradication by these treatment regimens.
Read the detailed description

Participants, aged ≥ 20, having H. pylori-positive chronic gastritis with/without peptic ulcers (duodenal or gastric ulcers) will be recruited. All undergo endoscopy with biopsy for rapid urease teat, histology, and bacterial culture before treatment. Four to eight weeks after termination of treatment, H. pylori infection status will be examined by the 13C-urea breath test. The CYP2C19 genotype of each participant will be analyzed by the polymerase chain reaction-based restriction fragment length polymerase (PCR-RFLP) method. A computed generated random numbers sequence will be blocked into two subgroups, say A, and B.

If the participants did not receive anti-H. pylori therapy previously, they will be invited to enter this study for evaluated the efficacy of these 1st-line regimens. Participant who meet the inclusion criteria and do not have any one of the exclusion criteria will be randomized to receive one of the following regimens:

group A- HDDT (rabeprazole 20 mg qid + amoxicillin 750 mg qid for 14 days);

group B- BQT ( rabeprazole 20 mg qid + tripotassium dicitrate bismuthate 300 mg qid + metronidazole 250 mg qid + tetracycline 500 mg qid for 10 days);

All participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire and to record symptoms and drug consumption daily during the treatment period. Post-treatment, the participants will be followed up at the Outpatients Clinic to investigate patient adherence and adverse effect of treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. The eradication rates as a measure of the efficacy of HDDT, and BQT

    The eradication rates (efficacy) will be evaluated by intention-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) analysis.

    Measured: 3.5 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of participants with adverse effects as a measure of safety

    The safety will be evaluated by counting the number of participant with adverse events.

    Measured: 3.5 years

  2. Amount of unused medication post treatment as a measure of patient adherence.

    The patient adherence will be evaluated by counting unused medication after the treatment.

    Measured: 3.5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing High-dose dual therapy (rabeprazole, amoxicillin) and Bismuth-containing quadruple therapy (rabeprazole, tripotassium dicitrate bismuthate, metronidazole, tetracycline) in people with Helicobacter Pylori Infection, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Mar 2019. 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 Taiwan. 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?

The eradication rates as a measure of the efficacy of HDDT, and BQT (time frame: 3.5 years). 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 Mar 2019.
