Bag Mode BreathID Hp Validation Versus Endoscopy in Detection of Helicobacter Pylori

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Helicobacter Pylori Infection
Interventions
Other: Breath Test Collection bags
Registration Number
NCT02010112
Lead Sponsor
Meridian Bioscience, Inc.
Brief Summary

A new method of breath collection for testing for Helicobacter Pylori infection has been developed by Exalenz. In this study, it will be compared to the gold standard- endoscopy results to prove its accuracy.

Detailed Description

This study will validate a breath collection method by comparing a newly developed breath test kit, IDkit:Hp™ TWO using breath collection bags, to congruent biopsy results (a composite reference standard by analyzing specimens with microbial culture, histological examination and rapid urease test- RUT) in detecting H.Pylori

overall percent agreement21 days

The performance measure (overall percent agreement) in post-therapy diagnosis (presence/ absence of H.pylori) between the Dual Mode BreathID® Hp System when using only one pair of IDkit:Hp™ TWO breath collection bags measured within 9 days and congruent biopsy results
