Read the detailed description

Patients A total of 500 patients with primary H pylori infection were collected from Liaocheng People's Hospital from August 2022 to July 2024. These patients were from outpatient clinics, followed up by using telephone to monitor drugs, adverse reactions, symptom improvement before and after medication. Written informed consent was obtained from all participated patients in this study. This study was approved by the local research ethics committee at the Liaocheng Hospital according to the principle of the Helsinki Declaration II (No. 2023110). Patients were randomly divided into FZD group and CLA group. Inclusion criteria include: 1. Hp test positive. 2. age range from 18 to 70 years. 3. without previously Hp eradication treatment prior to enrollment. Exclusion criteria were as follows: 1. severe concomitant diseases such as cardiac dysfunction, liver, kidney et al. 2. planning to be or being pregnant, or lactating. 3. history of allergy to any medicines used in this study. 4. lost in follow-up.

Drugs Drugs used in this study were as follows: FZD was from Shanghai Yurui Biotechnology Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Esomeprazole was from AstraZeneca Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd, England; AMX was from Shandong LuKang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd; Bismuth potassium citrate was from Shanghai Modern Hassen Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. CLA was from Guangdong DongYangGuang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. All drugs were routinely prescribed in hospital pharmacy.

Determination of Hp infection The status of Hp infection was determined by methods as follows: 1. 13C/14C urea breath test (UBT) 2. rapid urease test (RUT) 3. HE staining of gastric mucosal histopathological sections 4. gastric mucosal Hp culture 5. fecal Hp antigen test. Post-treatment Hp status was assessed 4 weeks after finishing the treatment. Hp was considered eradicated if post-treatment Hp was negative. If the result was positive, it was retested again after half a year. If the retested result was still positive, Hp eradication failed.

Hp eradication regimens and duration Patients were randomly allocated into FZD and CLA groups. The FZD group includes FZD (100mg, bid), esomeprazole (20mg, bid), bismuth potassium citrate (220mg, bid), and AMX (1000mg, bid) for 14 days. In the CLA group, FZD was replaced by CLA (500mg, bid), and the other drugs were the same. Esomeprazole and bismuth were taken 30 minutes before meal, AMX, CLA, and FZD were taken 30 minutes after meal.

Evaluation of adverse effects and symptom improvement after treatment Drugs, adverse effects, improvement of clinical symptoms were recorded by outpatient questionnaire. Adverse drug reactions include abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, changes in taste (bad oral taste), rash, insomnia, arthralgia, headache, dizziness, fatigue, peripheral nerve damage. The adverse events were classified as yes or no. The symptoms before and after treatment was evaluated by the Likert rating scale. Symptoms are classified as none (1 point), mild (2 points, almost no symptoms), moderate (3 points, tolerable, not affect daily activities), severe (4 points, affect daily activities), and serious (5 points, need to be hospitalized or intervened to prevent permanent injury or even death). Frequency includes: none (1 point), less than 2 times a week (2 points), more than 3 times a week and not daily (3 points), daily but intermittent (4 points), almost constant daily (5 points). Total score = frequency×symptom.

Cost-effectiveness analysis Cost (C) is the total cost of each regimen of drugs. Effectiveness (E) represents therapeutic effect of a regimen. In this study, cost-effectiveness ratio (C/E) and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio were used to evaluate the cost-effectiveness analysis. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (DC/DE) referred to the ratio of cost difference to effectiveness between FZD group and CLA group; which means the cost of each unit effect increased by former scheme.

    esomeprazole magnesium 20 mg bid +colloidal bismuth pectin 200mg bid + amoxicillin 1000 mg bid + furazolidone 100 mg bid, for 14 days. After stopping the medication for 30 days, check the H. pylori again. If H. pylori is negative, check again after 6 months and 12 months, the experiment stop. If H. pylori is positive, check again after 6 months. If H. pylori is still positive, high-dose dual therapy will be used to resist H. pylori again. After stopping the second medication for 30 days, check the H. pylori again. If H. pylori is negative, check again after 6 months, and the experiment stops. If H. pylori is still positive, check again after 6 months, and the experiment stops.

What is being measured

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

  1. Hp eradication rate

    The status of Hp infection was determined by methods as follows: 1. 13C/14C urea breath test (UBT) 2. rapid urease test (RUT) 3.

Hp was considered eradicated if post-treatment Hp was negative. If the result was positive, it was retested again after half a year. If the retested result was still positive, Hp eradication failed.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Furazolidone and Clarithromycin in people with Helicobacter Pylori Infection and Eradication, run by Liaocheng 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 3 inclusion and 5 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 12 Feb 2025. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

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?

Hp eradication rate (time frame: 6 months). 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 12 Feb 2025.
