Filter by:Gastric cancer afflicts 27,000 Americans annually and carries a dismal prognosis. One reason for poor outcomes is late diagnosis, as the majority of gastric cancers in the United States are diagnosed at a relatively advanced stage where curative resection is unlikely. Gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) is a precancerous change of the stomach which increases risk for subsequent gastric cancer multiple-fold. The Gastric Precancerous Conditions Study (GAPS) is an observational study with two over-arching objectives: 1) improve the non-invasive identification of patients with GIM, and 2) develop biological markers to predict the subset of GIM which will progress onto gastric cancer. To achieve Aim 1, a case-control study (N=300 pairs) matching cases of GIM with age-/gender-matched controls will be recruited form the population of subjects undergoing clinically-indicated endoscopy. Determination of gastric pathology will be made by two, independent gastrointestinal pathologists. At time of endoscopy, a detailed clinical questionnaire is administered by face-to-face interview. Saliva and blood is collected prior to endoscopy. At time of endoscopy, protocoled clinical biopsies (per Revised Sydney Protocol) as well as additional research specimens are collected. Scoring of GIM will be performed based on the Operative Link for GIM scoring system. To achieve Aim 2, patients with histologically-confirmed GIM (N=300) will be followed longitudinally. Biennial endoscopic surveillance will be performed, with repeat biopsies, specimen collection, and histologic scoring. Progression of GIM will be defined as upstaging of GIM score, or development of either dysplasia or carcinoma on any biopsy.
All patients will receive quadruple eradication therapy for 10 days with Omerazole 20mg x2, Amoxicilin 1g x2, Clarithromycin 500mg x2 and Metronidazole 500mg x2. The patients will be randomised into two groups. The first group will receive one capsule of probiotics x2 two hours before or after meal for 15 days and the second group placebo (capsule with same composition and colour with probiotic) x2, two hours before or after meal for 15 days as well. The probiotic (Lactolevure, Uni-Pharma, Athens) contains four probiotic strains known for their effectivness and safety, Saccharomyces Boulandrii (1.5 BU/capsule), Bifidobacterium Lactis BB-12 (1.75 BU/capsule), Lactobacillus Acidodophilus LA-5 (1.75 BU/capsule) and Lactobacillus Plantarum (0.5 BU/capsule).
To compare the efficacy of Helicobacter pylori (HP) eradication with vonoprazan dual and triple therapy regimens versus lansoprazole triple therapy regimen in participants with HP infection, excluding participants who had a clarithromycin or amoxicillin resistant strain of HP at baseline.
Clarithromycin-containing triple therapy is still the primary therapy approved by the Korean government. However, studies of antibiotic resistance have shown that regional resistance patterns to antibiotics such as clarithromycin are increasing. Recent studies show that examining genotype resistance is effective in eradication. Currently, dual priming oligonucleotide-polymerase chain reaction (DPO-PCR) is used to measure clarithromycin resistance. No study has compared the duration of eradication regimens according to DPO-PCR results. This study compares the eradication rate of 7-day triple therapy with 14-day triple therapy in clarithromycin susceptible strains from DPO-PCR. The investigators also aimed to compare the eradication rates of 7-day bismuth quadruple therapy with 14-day bismuth quadruple therapy from clarithromycin-resistant strains from DPO-PCR.
This study aims to: 1. Determine the prevalence of Helicobacter infection in Myanmar (this would be the largest ever series in the country) 2. Determine the clinical and epidemiological associations of Helicobacter infection in Myanmar 3. Determine the utility of stool antigen testing to diagnose the infection and confirm eradication 4. Compare the relative efficacies of concomitant and sequential therapy 5. Determine the relative efficacies of first, second and third line therapies in Myanmar in 2018
This study aims to compare safety and efficacy in an exploratory manner between a Tegoprazan triple therapy and a RAPAE01 triple therapy in H. pylori positive patients.
The purpose of this study is to assess and compare the effectiveness of levofloxacin-tetracycline -containing and tinidazole-tetracycline-containing quadruple regimens for the primary treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection in patients allergic to penicillin.
The aim of our study will be to assess in an open-label, multicenter, randomized controlled trial whether a tailored therapy guided by a non-invasive antibiotic susceptibility test on stool samples achieves higher Helicobacter eradication rates than an empiric antibiotic regimen. For this purpose, consecutive patients with dyspeptic symptoms, diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection and naïve to eradicating treatments will be allocated to either of the two intervention arms.
This study aims to investigate the efficacy of a 7-day genotypic resistance-guided triple therapy, compared with empirical concomitant therapy, for first-line eradication of H. pylori.
In this study, the investigators aim to investigate the efficacy of tailored anti-microbial susceptibility guided-therapy via gastric juice PCR, compared with empirical standard triple therapy.
