Helicobacter Pylori Infection Clinical Trials

The main objective of the study is to compare the maternal, fetal, and infant outcomes of pregnant women who are exposed to vonoprazan during pregnancy with outcomes of an internal comparison cohort of pregnant women who are unexposed to vonoprazan during pregnancy but who may be exposed to other products for the treatment of conditions for which vonoprazan may be prescribed.

Gastric cancer afflicts 27,000 Americans annually and carries a dismal prognosis. One reason for poor outcomes is late diagnosis, as the majority of gastric cancers in the United States are diagnosed at a relatively advanced stage where curative resection is unlikely. Gastric precursors (such as atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia) are precancerous changes to the stomach mucosa which increases risk for subsequent gastric cancer. The Gastric Precancerous Conditions Study (GAPS) is an observational study of patients at elevated risk for gastric cancer. Investigators seek to recruit patients from endoscopy unit of Stanford Health Care, a large academic network of hospitals and clinics serving Northern California. Investigators will recruit patients who are both symptomatic (e.g. dyspepsia) and asymptomatic (e.g. referred for screening), and individuals both with known precursor lesions (such as intestinal metaplasia) or at high risk for carrying precursor lesions. A component of the study is long-term follow-up of individuals with gastric precursors. This is to understand their risk factors for histologic progression and regression. During both index and subsequent endoscopies, the study team will collect biospecimens (e.g. blood, saliva, gastric tissue). Read Less

This is a multi-center, non-randomized, open label study. Subjects will be enrolled if they are deemed eligible given the inclusion criteria. Subjects who meet all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be entered into the study. Subjects will be exposed to non-radioactive 13C-Urea with citric acid, and may submit a stool sample or undergo endoscopy for Rapid Urease Test and Histology samples. Center(s) will house a PyloPlus UBT Analyzer to document results. PyloPlus Analyzer results shall remain blinded to the investigator and treating physician. No patient management decisions should be made based on the investigational PyloPlus UBT System. Treating physician will either prescribe a H. pylori Stool Antigen Test through P4 Diagnostics, along with another Urea Breath Test using Breath ID, or patient will undergo Endoscopy to provide a composite reference method consisting of Rapid Urease Test and Histology. These will act as the comparators to the PyloPlus Urea Breath Test System. Read Less
