Study summary

Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection is one of the important causes of gastrointestinal diseases, including gastritis, peptic ulcer, and malignancies, nd the eradication of Hp can effectively cure or prevent these diseases. Now, owing to the increasingly serious antibiotic resistance, Hp eradication rate is, however, becoming decreased. In order to improve the eradication rate of Hp, clinicians pay great attention to choose more effective treatment.

Ilaprazole Enteric-Coated Tablets is a new generation of proton pump inhibitor (PPI). Previous research found that Ilaprazole had a more prolonged half-life and higher suppression of gastric acid secretion. In addition, its metabolism is not significantly influenced by CYP2C19, compared to the available PPIs. Doxycycline is in the tetracycline antibiotic class, has a stronger antibacterial force than tetracycline and its antibacterial spectrum is basically the same as tetracycline and doxycycline, so far, it is not widely used. Preliminary observations showed that Ilaprazole/Doxycycline-based quadruple therapy was effective in treating Hp infection, with less adverse reactions and good compliance with patients.

In this study, a multi-center, randomized, parallel controlled trial will be conducted in 7 hospitals in Hunan Province, China, to observe the clinical efficacy and safety of the Bismuth-containing quadruple therapy with Ilaprazole, Doxycycline, Furazolidone and Bismuth Potassium Citrate in the treatment of Hp infected duodenal ulcer. It is expected to complete 200 effective cases, including 100 cases in the experimental group and 100 cases in the control group.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 2, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
