• Conditions: Gastric (Stomach) Cancer
• Interventions: Drug: recommendations for eradication treatment

• Registration Number: NCT06943794
• Lead Sponsor: Fudan University

Brief Summary

This study is a prospective, multicenter randomized controlled study. Additional fecal screening for Hp-specific SNP mutation sites on top of routine Hp testing may improve the identification of people at high risk for gastric cancer, and the treatment of eradication interventions in high-risk groups can significantly reduce the incidence or risk of progression of gastric cancer.

Detailed Description

Primary study objective: To evaluate whether H. pylori eradication therapy can reduce the risk of gastric mucosal lesion progression or gastric cancer in a subgroup of asymptomatic H. pylori-positive subjects with high-risk SNP loci.

The secondary objectives of the study are: 1. to compare the difference between the "fecal Hp high-risk subtype eradication" strategy and routine Hp testing in detecting early gastric cancer or precancerous lesions (e.g., gastric mucosal atypia, intestinal metaplasia, etc.). 2. to evaluate the impact of the "fecal high-risk subtype eradication" strategy on treatment and management adherence. 3. to assess the effectiveness of the "Hp high-risk subtype eradication" strategy in reducing the risk of gastric cancer. Evaluate the impact of the "fecal high-risk Hp subtype eradication" strategy on adherence to treatment and management. 3. Analyze the improvement of gastric mucosal atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, and inflammation after eradication treatment in the "high-risk Hp subtype" population.

People meeting the inclusion criteria were recruited from multiple centers. Randomization: Subjects with high-risk subtypes who met the inclusion criteria were randomized into an intervention group and a control group. INTERVENTION: Intervention group: received standardized H. pylori eradication treatment recommendations given by trial staff/physicians based on patient risk, clinical symptoms, etc. Control group: received standardized follow-up and routine management without treatment guidance for high-risk Hp subtypes. Follow-up and comparison: to compare the differences between the two groups in terms of the detection rate of gastric cancer or precancerous lesions, the incidence (or progression) of gastric cancer, patient adherence, and complications within a certain follow-up period.
