About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Controlled, Double-blind Trial on the Efficacy of Gastric Probiotics in the Treatment of Helicobacter Pylori Infection

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Lactobacillus plantarum, Bacillus coagulans and Lactobacillus plantarum + Bacillus coagulans for eradication of Helicobacter Pylori, as well as the efficacy of Lactobacillus plantarum and Bacillus coagulans on side-effect caused by Helicobacter Pylori.

Read the detailed description

All patients included in this randomized controlled clinical trial will be selected according to strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. At the same time, the benefits and risks of participating in this trial will be explained to the patients before the start of the study, the patients' right to informed consent will be respected, and the informed consent will be signed. After being informed about the study and potential risks, all patients giving written informed consent will undergo a screening period to determine eligibility for study entry. At week 0, patients who meet the eligibility requirements will be randomized in a double-blind manner (participants and investigator) in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to Lactobacillus plantarum (1.5×10^10 per time, three times daily) or Bacillus coagulans (1.5×10^10 per time, three times daily) or Lactobacillus plantarum + Bacillus coagulans (1.5×10^10 per time, three times daily) or placebo ( 15g per time, three times daily). At the same time, volunteers will be recruited from healthy people to perform the same treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Eradication of Helicobacter pylori

    All participants will have a 13C-urea breath test to see if their 13C value falls below the threshold for H. pylori eradication.

    Measured: The eighth week of the trial

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. The condition of gastrointestinal symptoms before the trial

    We will use Gastrointestinal symptoms rating scale (GSRS) to know about the baseline level of their gastrointestinal symptoms before they receive the probiotic or placebo.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. The condition of gastrointestinal symptoms in the first week

    We will use Gastrointestinal symptoms rating scale (GSRS) to know about the level of their gastrointestinal symptoms after they receive the probiotic or placebo already a week.

    Measured: The first week of the trial.

  3. The condition of gastrointestinal symptoms in the second week

    We will use Gastrointestinal symptoms rating scale (GSRS) to know about the level of their gastrointestinal symptoms after they receive the probiotic or placebo after two weeks.

    Measured: The second week of the trial.

  4. The condition of gastrointestinal symptoms in the third week

    We will use Gastrointestinal symptoms rating scale (GSRS) to know about the level of their gastrointestinal symptoms after they receive the probiotic or placebo after three weeks.

    Measured: The third week of the trial.

  5. The condition of gastrointestinal symptoms in the fourth week

    We will use Gastrointestinal symptoms rating scale (GSRS) to know about the level of their gastrointestinal symptoms at the fourth week of this trial.

    Measured: The fourth week of the trial.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Lactobacillus plantarum, Bacillus coagulans and Lactobacillus plantarum + Bacillus coagulans in people with Helicobacter Pylori Infection, run by Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University.

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 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 2 Aug 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

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 Yang Bai (13925001665, 13925001665@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Eradication of Helicobacter pylori (time frame: The eighth week of the trial). 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 2 Aug 2022.
