Trial summary

There are lack of endoscopic criteria for diagnosing Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection by conventional white light imaging (WLI). Linked color imaging (LCI) is a newly developed endoscopy technique, which can diagnose mucosal lesions and H. pylori infection by enhancing color contrast of the mucosa. Read more about this study

About this study

There are lack of endoscopic criteria for diagnosing Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection by conventional white light imaging (WLI). Linked color imaging (LCI) is a newly developed endoscopy technique, which can diagnose mucosal lesions and H. pylori infection by enhancing color contrast of the mucosa. The aim of the study is to investigate the ability of LCI for diagnosing H. pylori infection compared with WLI.

Read the detailed description

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is one of the most common chronic bacterial infections in man. And it is the causative factor for peptic ulcer and regarded as a class I carcinogen for gastric adenocarcinoma. Therefore, accurate detection of infection is crucial for devising proper eradication regimens and preventing the more severe GI complications. Detection of H. pylori in the gastric mucosa can be performed via (1) direct detection of the bacterium; culture, histology and polymerase chain reaction or (2) indirect detection of its enzymatic products particularly urease and serum H. pylori-specific antibody examinations. The direct detection methods are complicated and time-consuming. While the indirect detection methods are less accurate. With the wide use of endoscopy, diagnosis of H. pylori infection by endoscopy should be more accurate and easily available. However, there are still lack of endoscopic criteria for diagnosing H. pylori infection by conventional white light imaging (WLI), which correlates poorly with histopathological findings of H. pylori-induced gastritis . The newly modified LCI system (FUJIFILM Co.) can obtain clear and bright endoscopic images by using short-wavelength narrow-band laser light combined with white laser light. LCI technique can enhance the color of the endoscopic images by digital processing, which makes red regions seem redder and white regions seem whiter. Therefore, LCI may facilitate the detection of certain kinds of gastric lesions. As the common thinking, H. pylori-associated gastritis regions are redder than normal mucosa under WLI because of hyperemia following inflammation. And such redness can be enhanced by LCI. However, there is no criterion for this estimating. Red, green and blue (RGB) color model is a basic component system of the hue, of which each color is a composition of different proportions. Thus, the color obtained by endoscopic images can be quantified by RGB model. The study aimed at comparing the ability of WLI and LCI for diagnosing H. pylori infection by using RGB color model and investigating objective and quantifiable endoscopic criteria for predicting H. pylori infection.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Helicobacter Pylori Infection, run by Kashgar 1st People's Hospital 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 1 inclusion and 7 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 5 Jan 2017. 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.

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?

Contact Bai Yang, Doctor (15626498226, baiyang1665@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Accuracy, specificity and sensitivity of LCI for diagnosing Hp infection compared with the pathology (time frame: one month). 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 5 Jan 2017.
