Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Emerging evidence shows that the eradication rate of proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-based triple therapy for the first-line treatment of Helicobacter pylori has decreased. The reason for the decrease in the efficacy of PPI-based triple therapy is mainly due to the increase in the resistance against clarithromycin. Sequential therapy seems to be more effective than the PPI-based triple therapy, however, the eradication rate of sequential therapy in Korea, which is mostly under 80%, is still not satisfactory. Modified bismuth quadruple therapy which replace metronidazole with amoxicillin (contained PPI, bismuth, tetracycline and amoxicillin) can be a promising regimen because the antibiotic resistance rate of tetracycline and amoxicillin are relatively low in Korea and amoxicillin is more easy to take in comparing with metronidazole. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare 10-day sequential therapy and 14-day modified bismuth quadruple therapy and to establish more effective first-line regimen for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori in Korea.

In addition, previous studies reported that H. pylori infection also associated with functional dyspepsia (FD) and recommended H. pylori eradication in patients with FD. However, until now, there was no randomized prospective study in Korea, therefore the another aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of H. pylori eradication therapy on the symptom improvement of FD.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
