NCT00155389

Brief Summary

Based on a universal eradication of H. pylori in an offshore island (Matsu) with a high prevalence of gastric cancer as well as premalignant gastric lesion, we first examined the infection rate of H. pylori. Secondly, we evaluated the efficacy of clarithromycin-based triple therapy with a levofloxacin-based rescue treatment. And thirdly, we tested the hypothesis that whether the cure of H. pylori can reverse the premalignant gastric lesion. Fourth, we determine the cost-effectiveness of this intervention. The gene-environment interaction will be addressed regarding gastric cancer carcinogenesis. Finally, the incident rate of gastric cancer would be followed in this cohort.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Successful helicobacter eradication, change in premalignant gastric lesion, and change in gastric cancer incidence rate

    12 years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Intragastric histologic change

    12 years

Study Arms (1)

H pylori eradication

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

All enrolled subjects received chemoprevention with Helicobacter pylori eradication

Drug: Helicobacter pylori eradication

Interventions

For subjects who received the first-line treatment, the costs included the initial 13C-UBT, one-week triple therapy (esomeprazole 40mg once daily, amoxicillin 1g twice daily, and clarithromycin 500mg twice daily), and the confirmatory 13C-UBT. For subjects in whom the initial treatment failed, the costs further included the re-treatment consisting of ten-day triple therapy (esomeprazole 40mg once daily, amoxicillin 1g twice daily, and levofloxacin 500mg once daily), and the confirmatory 13C-UBT. The first round of study was between 2004 and 2005, the second round was between 2008 and 2009, and the third round was between 2012 and 2013.
