Filter by:Helicobacter pylori is a pathogenic bacteria transmitted from individual to individual, being scientifically recognized as an agent who causes persistent inflammatory activity on the gastric mucosa. This pathogen represents a Global Health problem, as shown in a systematic review by Hooi et al. Besides regional differences, more that half of the world population is expected to have already been infected by this bacteria. In Portugal, research studies estimate that more than 80% of the adult population has already contacted with H. pylori. H. pylori infection is associated with active chronic gastritis in every colonized patient, what may consequently lead to peptic ulcer disease, atrophic gastritis, gastric adenocarcinoma and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. For that reason, H. pylori infection is considered to be a disease, independently of the presence of gastrointestinal symptoms. Additionally, H. pylori has been classified as a confirmed carcinogen (class I) by the International Agency for Research, being responsible for carcinogenic pathways conducting to both gastric adenocarcinoma and lymphoma. This fact gains a particular relevance taking into account that gastric cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide. On other hand, more than 75% of the gastric cancers occur following H. pylori infection. Thus, H. pylori eradication constitutes an essential Public Health measurement, being inclusively considered a cost-effective method to decrease the gastric cancer burden, by promoting pre-malignant lesions regression, such as atrophic gastritis, and by delaying the disease progression in case of intestinal metaplasia or dysplasia. Maastricht V consensus is a document updated in 2016, including the major recommendations regarding H. pylori diagnosis, follow-up and treatment. It highlights the emergence of antibiotic resistances and how they must influence clinical practice, namely the choice of antibiotic regimens, as successful eradication has become less frequent with more prevalent antibiotic resistances. This is the case of clarithromycin and metronidazol, both currently recommended as first-line options by the Portuguese Society of Gastroenterology. In fact, a systematic review conducted in 2018, aiming to evaluate antibiotic resistances on the Portuguese population observed that clarithromycin, metronidazole and double resistance occurred in 42%, 25% and 20% of the individuals, respectively. Nowadays, Maastricht V guidelines recommend quadruple regimens containing bismuth, such as Pylera (r), as the first-line option in areas with significant double resistance to metronidazole and clarithromycin. Another option currently being investigated is the double therapy with amoxicillin in high doses and proton pump inhibitor. This has become a particularly attractive alternative due to its efficacy, good tolerability and significantly low resistance (<1%) among the European population. The aim of this clinical trial is to compare both regimens - pylera (r) and high-dose amoxycillin - in H. pylori eradication, regarding their efficacy, tolerability and side effects, in order to asses viable therapeutic options in a population with progressively increasing resistances to alternative regimens currently recommended.
Treatment of H.pylori may not be achieved in many patients with chronic gastritis. Termination of the inflammatory respose produced by h.pylori may be useful in management of difficult cases. Heparanase is a pro-inflammatory mediator. Blocking of heparanase may relief the symptoms of chronic gastritis.
The purpose of this study is to compare the Efficacy and Safety of Rebamipide/Nizatidine Combination Therapy with Nizatidine Monotherapy in Patients with Gastritis
Since much is unknown about factors that lead to progression of the pre-neoplastic lesions and cancer. In addition, there is ongoing debate on the optimal surveillance intervals and techniques. To solve these important clinical questions, the establishment of a registry for a longitudinal study is planned.
This PMS is a non-interventional, prospective, single-arm, multi-center surveillance in accordance with Korean regulation, 'Standard for Re-Examination of New Drugs'. This PMS is to assess the safety and effectiveness after administrating Mucosta®SR Tab. Each subject would be observed for 2 weeks from baseline, if possible. As this PMS is an observational study in practical medical environment, the subject's follow-up is recommended but not obligatory and must be left up to the judgment of the investigator.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and clinical efficacy of HIP2101 in patients with acute or chronic gastritis.
To establish a prospective cohort of individuals diagnosed with gastric pre-malignant conditions (chronic gastritis, atrophic gastritis, autoimmune gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, intestinal dysplasia) to monitor and study disease progression. The Investigators will like to survey cohort participants for lifestyle behaviors and environmental exposures associated with gastric pre-malignancy and cancer. Analyzing patient biospecimens to identify and characterize host and microbiome biomarkers associated with initiation and progression of gastric pre-malignancies.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of berberine, amoxicillin and vonoprazan containing triple therapy in Helicobacter Pylori first-line eradication. It is hypothesized that berberine hydrochloride, amoxicillin and vonoprazan triple therapy is non-inferior to bismuth-containing quadruple therapy or vonoprazan -containing quadruple therapy. Patients diagnosed with H. pylori infection will be randomly divided into one of the above treatments. At week 6 follow-up visits, a urea breath test，rapid urease test or helicobacter pylori stool antigen test will be performed to confirm eradication.
As we know，Helicobacter pylori is closely related to many gastrointestinal diseases such as chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease,gastric carcinoma and gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma，as well as extra-digestive diseases such as urticaria and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases and so on.The diagnosis of H. pylori infection is based on invasive methods requiring endoscopy and biopsy(e.g. histology, culture, rapid urease test, PCR) or on non-invasive methods (e.g. serology, 13C urea breath test, stool antigen test).Histology has the highest specificity among the others,and also allows us to determine the underlying disease and perform antibiotic sensitivity testing.Serological tests are widely available and more appropriate for epidemiological studies, their main weakness for clinical use is low specificity.The 13C urea breath test is the most accurate method in patients irrespective of age.Stool antigen testing,as a promising method, is easy to perform, and its accuracy may be improved by the use of monoclonal antibodies recently proposed for capturing H. pylori antigen in stool specimen.Sensitivity and specificity, usefulness,and limitation of tests should be considered for selection of detection methods of H. pylori. Our objective is to review the current methods that are used for the detection of H. pylori infection among patients with chronic atrophic gastritis.Except that,patients with Hp positive will be further treated with 10-day minocycline-based quadruple therapy,to observe the efficacy and safety of minocycline-based regimen for H.pylori eradication as a first-line therapy.
The primary objectives of this study are: - To identify clinical or histological factors associated with gastric cancer development in patients with IM and AG - To establish a machine learning algorithm for prediction of future gastric cancer risks and individual risk stratification in patient with IM and AG
