Active clinical trials for "Gastritis"

The objective of this trial is to find the rationale and the optimal dose and duration of regimen for the eradication of H. pylori infection using different proton pump inhibitors.

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.

The aim of the study is to use Melanole, a herbal extract from Nigella sativa, for treatment of gastritis. The effect of Melanole will be compared between participants (including H. pylori and non-H.pylori infected patients), with the triple therapy and Standard of care treatment of gastritis, respectively. All participants will be examined before and after the administration of Melanole. The results showing a relief of gastritis symptoms for non-H. pylori patients and partial or complete eradication of H. pylori for H.pylori infected patients will be evaluated.

The purpose of this study is to compare the Efficacy and Safety of Rebamipide/Nizatidine Combination Therapy with Nizatidine Monotherapy in Patients with Gastritis

This is a multicenter, double-blinded, double-dummy, active-controlled, randomized, Phase III clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of DA-6034 and to demonstrate the non-inferiority of DA-6034 compared with Rebamipide in patients with acute or chronic gastritis. Subjects will receive 45mg, 90mg of DA-6034 and 300mg of Rebamipide, two tablets, three times a day for two weeks.

The eradication rate of the standard H. pylori eradication therapy (such as the triple therapy with a proton pump inhibitor [PPI], amoxicillin and clarithromycin) depends on bacterial susceptibility to clarithromycin and genotypes of CYP2C19 in patients. The investigators intend to investigate whether the tailored therapy based on the two above-mentioned factors increases the cure rate of the initial eradication therapy.

The purpose of this study is to find optimum dosage of DW-3101 by evaluating efficacy and safety of each dosage group in Korean patients with acute and chronic gastric inflammation.

If we compare eradication rate of Helicobacter pylori divided to 4 groups: amoxicillin, rabeprazole, clarithromycin(AOC), amoxicillin, rabeprazole, metronidazole(AOM), treated with amoxicillin, rabeprazole for 5 day, followed by clarithromycin, metronidazole, rabeprazole for 5 days(sequential), amoxicillin, clarithromycin, metronidazole, rabeprazole(concomitant), then the eradication rate of concomitant group will be the highest.

Assess the Safety and the Pharmacokinetic Characteristics of INT-2150 after Oral Administration to Healthy Adult Male Subjects

The hypothesis and plan of the current study are: One induction phase of high dose PPI before eradication will increase intragastric pH and induce H. pylori into an active replicative status. Active replicative status will enhance the bactericidal effect of amoxicillin. Rabeprazole (20 mg) four times per day (qid) for 3 days will be used for induction in this study. High dose PPI will provide adequate plasma concentration irrespective of the CYP2C19 genotype of the population. Here rabeprazole (20 mg) qid will be applied as high dose PPI. High frequent amoxicillin usage (500 mg, qid) will maintain plasma concentration above the MIC. Amoxicillin (500 mg) qid will be described for total 14 days. In the rescue therapy, add levofloxacin on high dose dual therapy will increase the eradication rate than single high dose dual therapy. A combination of levofloxacin and high dose dual therapy will also have a better eradication rate than the common used levofloxacin based triple therapy.
