Validation of Serum Assays for the Diagnosis of Gastritis
Cancer Screening TestsHelicobacter pylori infection rate is decreasing in younger population; however, biennial gastroscopy is still recommended for all Koreans aged between 40 and 75 years. This study aimed to validate blood tests for gastric cancer screening according to the infection status of H. pylori (naive, current, and past infection).
Curcumin in Preventing Gastric Cancer in Patients With Chronic Atrophic Gastritis or Gastric Intestinal...
Chronic Atrophic GastritisThis randomized phase IIb trial studies how well curcumin works in preventing gastric cancer in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis and/or gastric intestinal metaplasia. Curcumin is an antioxidant compound found in plants that may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Systems Biology of Gastrointestinal and Related Diseases
Ulcerative ColitisCrohn Disease20 moreThis is a longitudinal observational study on patients with gastrointestinal and related disease. The study will be conducted for at least 10 years, following each participant over time, as they either go through relapses and remissions, or progression of their disease.
Helicobacter Pylori, Atrophic Gastritis and Intestinal Metaplasia Registry and Prospective Study...
Helicobacter PyloriAtrophic Gastritis1 moreSince much is unknown about factors that lead to progression of the pre-neoplastic lesions and cancer. In addition, there is ongoing debate on the optimal surveillance intervals and techniques. To solve these important clinical questions, the establishment of a registry for a longitudinal study is planned.
Helicobacter Pylori Local Prevalence and Antibiotic Resistance
Helicobacter Pylori InfectionHelicobacter Pylori Gastritis4 moreThe clinical management of H. pylori infection depends essentially on two factors, prevalence and local resistance. In Germany, only limited data from rather small cohorts currently exist regarding both factors. Knowledge of the current prevalence (accounting for socioeconomic factors and age) is important for the selection of suitable detection methods, as this influences the positive and negative predictive value of the respective diagnostic methods. Current data on antibiotic resistance are essential for efficient therapy. In this clinical study, we will collect data on the frequency and severity of H. pylori infections and then, after endoscopic examination, on antibiotic resistance. Knowledge of the resistance situation is necessary for the selection of suitable therapeutic regimens. Furthermore, molecular methods for resistance detection are to be compared with conventional microbiological methods in order to be able to detect resistance more quickly. Furthermore, we aim to identify specific parameters for early detection of patients at particularly high risk of gastric cancer or with precancerous lesions due to infection. The aim is to identify carcinogenesis-relevant factors such as gastric microbiome signatures that will make it possible to identify patients who are most likely to benefit from prophylactic eradication therapy in terms of risk stratification.
Treatment of Atrophic Gastritis After HP Eradication With Modified Liujunzi Decoction Based on Syndrome...
Chronic Atrophic GastritisThis is an observational cohort study of clinical efficacy study.The purpose of this topic is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Modified Liujunzi Decoction based on syndrome differentiation in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis(CAG) after HP eradication.Taking Modified Liujunzi Decoction as the observation group and Weifuchun routine treatment as the control group, so as to provide evidence for the treatment of CAG and reduce the risk of gastric cancer. A total of 284 patients were included. The curative efficacy, symptom score and adverse events will be recorded and analyzed.
Post-Marketing Surveillance of Safety and Effectiveness of Mucosta®SR Tab.
Acute GastritisChronic GastritisThis PMS is a non-interventional, prospective, single-arm, multi-center surveillance in accordance with Korean regulation, 'Standard for Re-Examination of New Drugs'. This PMS is to assess the safety and effectiveness after administrating Mucosta®SR Tab. Each subject would be observed for 2 weeks from baseline, if possible. As this PMS is an observational study in practical medical environment, the subject's follow-up is recommended but not obligatory and must be left up to the judgment of the investigator.
AI-assisted White Light Endoscopy to Identify the Kimura-Takemoto Classification of Atrophic Gastritis...
Atrophic GastritisArtificial Intelligence1 moreGrading endoscopic atrophy according to the Kimura-Takemoto classification can assess the risk of gastric neoplasia development. However, the false negative rate of chronic atrophic gastritis is high due to the varying diagnostic standardization and diagnostic experience and levels of endoscopists. Therefore, this study aims to develop an AI model to identify the Kimura-Takemoto classification.
Usefulness of Serum Pepsinogen and Gastrin as the Predictive Biomarker of Atrophic Gastritis, Intestinal...
Atrophic GastritisIt is well-known that atrophic gastritis is a major risk factor for gastric cancer, which leads to variations in the serum levels of gastrin, pepsinogen (PG) I, and PGII. We want to assess the effects of age, sex, and Helicobacter pylori status on pepsinogen (PG) level for atrophic gastritis and whether gastric atrophy based on the PG test would be improved after H. pylori eradication.
Efficacy of Fexuprazan for Prevention or Control of Gastritis Symptoms in Patients on Treatment...
Patients on Treatment With Systemic SteroidsThis clinical trial is conducted as a double-blind, randomized, and active drug control clinical trial. If the screening results determine that the selection/exclusion criteria are met, the clinical trial drugs are randomly assigned at a 1:1 ratio of the Pexuprazan 40 mg and the Lansoprazole 15 mg dose group and taken for 4 weeks. Gastritis symptoms are evaluated four weeks after baseline (Visit1) and clinical drug administration (Visit2), and if it is determined that gastritis is necessary according to the medical team's judgment due to gastrointestinal symptoms during the study participation period, endoscopy is performed to check whether gastritis occurs.
