About this study

Official title: A Randomized Clinical Trial of Clarithromycin/Bismuth Containing Quadruple Therapy for Helicobacter Pylori First-line Treatment

Standard triple therapy including a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and clarithromycin with either amoxicillin or metronidazole are no longer recommended as empirical first-line therapy to treat Helicobacter pylori infection because of high antibiotic resistance. It is unknown whether the addition of bismuth overcome antibiotic resistance. This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the addition of bismuth to standard triple therapy for H. pylori first-line eradication.

Being tested
Esomeprazole, Bismuth Potassium Citrate, Clarithromycin, Metronidazole
Keywords

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Esomeprazole, Bismuth Potassium Citrate and Clarithromycin in people with Helicobacter Pylori Infection, run by Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine at 1 site in China.

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 8 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 Jun 2018. 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 China. 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?

Helicobacter pylori eradication rate (time frame: Six weeks after completion of therapy). 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 Jun 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
