Brief summary

Approximately 200 patients with suspected H.pylori will be tested with a 13C-Urea Breath Test (UBT) to ascertain H.pylori positive. 100 H.Pylori positive patients will tested before and after prescribed with one of the four selected Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs); 25 patients in each arm. This will provide information on the influence of PPIs on the UBT (Urea Breath Test). The aim of the trial is to observe the effect of different PPIs on the breath test and choose the optimal protocol of when to stop PPI. The hypothesis is that there will be a minimal effect on the UBT while using selected PPIs.

Detailed description

Adult subjects with suspected H pylori infection will be recruited and will undergo a 13C -Urea breath test (including citrica) with the BreathID test device. Those were found positive will undergo selected PPI treatment for 14 days and after 24 or 72 hours from the completion of the two weeks, will undergo a second breath test. Those found to be negative (false negative), will undergo additional breath tests. * Those subjects that underwent any antibiotic, bismuth or PPI therapy 4 weeks prior to the trial, are to be excluded. * Furthermore, pregnant or nursing women and subjects with an allergy or sensitivity to one of the tests substrates, will be excluded from the study.

Recruitment details

Two out-patient clinics in hospitals will enroll subjects

Pre-assignment details

Size of arms varied due availability of PPI (proton pump inhibitors) and desire to gather more data in most common PPIs.Ethics committees approved additional recruitment.

Outcome results

Primary

Urea Breath Test Result (DOB > 5 is Positive)After Different Time Periods From When PPI (Proton Pump Inhibitor) Was Stopped.

Negative value is defined as delta over baseline (DOB) less than 5. The subjects who were positive (DOB\>=5) for H.Pylori and after PPI for 10 days repeated a breath with a negative (DOB\<5) were considered false negatives. The breath test has been cleared by the FDA in a 510(k) and has \> 96% accuracy.

Time frame: 17 days

Population: Analysis was done on an ITT basis and approximately 25 subjects per group were anticipated in order to obtain a general evaluation of which PPI is will cause the least amount of false negatives.The actual amount of subjects in each group will depend upon the availability of the different PPIs through the course of the study.
