Filter by:This study aims at evaluating efficacy and safety of berberine-containing quadruple therapy(berberine, esomeprazole, clarithromycin and amoxicillin) versus bismuth-containing quadruple therapy (bismuth,esomeprazole,clarithromycin and amoxicillin) in H. pylori eradication. It is hypothesized that berberine-containing quadruple therapy is non-inferior to bismuth-containing quadruple therapy. Patients with confirmed H. pylori positive status will be randomized to one of the treatments described above. At week 2 and 6 follow-up visits, a urea breath test(UBT) will be performed to confirm eradication.
This is a 2-arm, prospective, double-blind, double-dummy, randomized-controlled study using DLBS2411 at a dose of 250 mg twice daily (before morning and evening meals), or omeprazole at a dose of 40 mg once daily (before morning meal), for an 8-week course of therapy, for the treatment of patients with any non-bleeding peptic ulcers. DLBS2411 is a bioactive fraction of an Indonesian native herbal, Cinnamomum burmanii, locally known as kayu manis have been proven at cellular and genetic levels to have an antiulcer effect through both suppressing the gastric acidity and enhancing gastric mucosal protection. The anti-secretory effect of DLBS2411 is exerted through the inhibition of H+/K+ ATPase 'pump' as well as down-regulation of the H+/K+ ATPase gene expression, thus suppressing gastric acid secretion; while its gastro-protective defense mechanism works through the promotion of COX-2 derived prostaglandin (PgE2) synthesis, stimulating gastric-epithelial mucous and bicarbonate secretion; anti-oxidative activity; and endothelial-nitric oxide (NO) formation. Recent study of DLBS2411 in healthy volunteers demonstrated the effective role and safety of DLBS2411 in suppressing intragastric acidity. Having such mechanisms of action, DLBS2411 is hypothesized to benefit in peptic ulcers.
This study aimed to validate CU prediction model on mortality for patients with high risk bleeding peptic ulcers after therapeutic endoscopy.
The purpose of this prospective study is to identify risk factors which could predict poor fading of SRH or early recurrent bleeding of peptic ulcer hemorrhage after successful endoscopic hemostasis and high-dose PPI infusion. These risk factors will be the selection criteria for patients who are indicated to receive second-look endoscopy.
No trial has examined the the efficacy of amoxicillin and metronidazole based quadruple therapy for Helicobacter pylori treatment. The study aims to compare the effectiveness and safety of 14-day amoxicillin-/metronidazole-based quadruple regiment and classical quadruple regiment for Helicobacter pylori eradication.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate effectiveness of ALBIS on Gastroduodenal Mucosal Injury in Patients Receiving Dual Antiplatelet Therapy after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.
- Primary objective : To evaluate the efficacy of Rapamide in peptic ulcer prevention in patients taking dual antiplatelet agents - Study Design: Single center, double-blind, randomized-control trial study - Study drug: Repamipide vs. placebo - Assessment criteria The patients will be discharged from the study when one of the followings occurred, 1. Peptic ulcer from upper endoscopy at 3 and 6 month follow up 2. Clinical of upper gastrointestinal bleeding with peptic ulcer from upper endoscopy 3. Anemia by CBC at 1,3 ,6,12 month with peptic ulcer from upper endoscopy 4. Evidence of recurrent myocardial infarction from stent thrombosis
30% of ketamine users complain of abdominal discomfort. Long-term ketamine use is associated with hepatotoxicity and pathologic changes to the biliary tract. Yet the prevalence of gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary pathologies in ketamine users has not been well-described. The investigators plan to recruit a large number of ketamine users based on referrals from different Psychiatry clusters in Hong Kong and to investigate the underlying cause of abdominal discomfort, describe the prevalence of different gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary pathologies and describe their long-term outcome.
The purpose of the investigators study is to investigate the factors associated with rebleeding in patients with peptic ulcer bleeding.
Hemospray (TC-325, Cook Medical Inc, Winston-Salem, NC, USA), a new adsorptive nanopowder hemostatic agent for endoscopic treatment of high-risk bleeding peptic ulcers, provides significant ease of administration compared to the combined conventional technique of saline-adrenaline injection with mechanical clip or heater probe applications. The Hemospray powder is easily applied on ulcers at difficult endoscopic positions and ulcers with fibrotic bases, where the combined conventional technique has limited efficacy. Building up on preliminary work from small single-arm studies, the investigators aim to establish the efficacy and safety of Hemospray in treating bleeding peptic ulcers in comparison with the combined conventional technique. The investigators propose a pilot study to establish our centre's feasibility of performing a prospective, randomized, parallel group trial, which compares the efficacy of Hemospray with the combined conventional technique, in the endoscopic treatment of high-risk bleeding peptic ulcers. Patients with high-risk bleeding peptic ulcers will be treated with Hemospray to determine its initial hemostasis rate (defined as endoscopically verified cessation of bleeding for at least 5 minutes after endoscopic treatment), rebleeding rate (recurrent hemorrhage during a 4-week period following the initial hemostasis) and its safety profile.
