14-day Quadruple Therapy Versus Triple Therapy in HP Eradication (HEPRA)

February 23, 2021 updated by: mohamed bouchoucha

A Double Blind Randomized Study for Treatment of Helicobacter Pylori Infection: 14-day Non-bismuth Quadruple Therapy Versus Triple Therapy.

In this prospective randomized-controlled study, treatment-naive H. pylori-infected patients are randomized to receive either standard triple therapy or sequential therapy. The aim is to compare the efficacy of concomitant quadruple therapy with standard triple therapy as a first line treatment for H. pylori infection in Tunisian patients.

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

This study includes male and female patients aged between 18 and 65, with documented Hp infection and who have had no previous eradication treatment.The diagnosis of Hp infection was made through an anatomopathological study. Gastric biopsies were taken according to the Sydney protocol: two fundics in one pot, two antrals and one at the angle of the lesser curve in a second pot. The biopsies were studied by an experienced anatomopathologist.

The included patients were randomly divided into two treatment groups according to a 1: 1 ratio: the first group received concomitant quadruple therapy (QC) combining a double dose PPI (esomeprazole: 40 mg x 2 per day) with the amoxicillin (1 g x 2 per day), metronidazole (500 mg x 2 per day) and clarithromycin (500 mg x 2 per day) for 14 days. The second group received triple therapy (TT) combining a double dose PPI (esomeprazole: 40 mg x 2 per day) with amoxicillin (1 g x 2 per day) and clarithromycin (500 mg x 2 per day) for 14 days.

H. pylori eradication was assessed by the 13C-urea breath test 8 weeks after treatment.

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.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

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.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
HP eradiction rate
Time Frame: 6 weeks after completion of study treatment
assessment by breath test
6 weeks after completion of study treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
percentage of adverse reactions
Time Frame: 3 months
we will determinate the percentage of adverse reactions in each group of treatment.
3 months

Primary Completion (ACTUAL)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date.
