Objectives

Primary

  1. Compare the effectiveness of omeprazole and amoxicillin and/or vitamin and mineral supplementation comprising vitamin E, ascorbic acid, and selenium and/or garlic supplementation, in terms of lowering the prevalence of severe chronic atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia, and gastric cancer in patients with precancerous gastric lesions.

Secondary

  1. Compare the effects of these regimens on the rates of transition among the precancerous histopathologic states in these patients.
  2. Compare the rate of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication and reinfection in patients treated with these regimens.
  3. Compare the effect of these regimens on blood pressure in these patients.

Expected Enrollment

Approximately 3,600 patients (approximately 2,400 randomized to arms I-VIII [patients with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection] and 1,000 randomized to arms IX-XII [patients without H. pylori infection]) will be accrued for this study.

Outline

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Patients are stratified according to Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) antibody status (positive vs negative) and gender. Patients with an initial H. pylori infection are randomized to 1 of 8 treatment arms (I-VIII). Patients testing negative for H. pylori are randomized to 1 of 4 treatment arms (IX-XII).

  • Arm I: Patients receive oral omeprazole placebo and oral amoxicillin placebo twice daily for 2 weeks. Three months later, patients are re-evaluated for H. pylori infection. Patients with persistent H. pylori infection receive omeprazole placebo and amoxicillin placebo for an additional 2 weeks. Patients also receive oral vitamin and mineral supplement placebos comprising vitamin E placebo, ascorbic acid placebo, and selenium placebo twice daily and oral garlic supplement placebo twice daily beginning after completion of the initial 2-week treatment period with omeprazole and amoxicillin placebos and continuing for 88 months.


  • Arm II: Patients receive omeprazole and amoxicillin placebos and vitamin and mineral supplement placebos as in arm I. Patients also receive an oral garlic supplement twice daily beginning after completion of the initial 2-week treatment period with omeprazole and amoxicillin placebos and continuing for 88 months.


  • Arm III:Patients receive omeprazole and amoxicillin placebos as in arm I. Patients also receive oral vitamin and mineral supplements comprising vitamin E, ascorbic acid, and selenium twice daily beginning after completion of the initial 2-week treatment period with omeprazole and amoxicillin placebos and continuing for 88 months and garlic supplement placebo as in arm I.


  • Arm IV: Patients receive omeprazole and amoxicillin placebos as in arm I. Patients also receive vitamin and mineral supplements as in arm III and garlic supplement as in arm II.


  • Arm V: Patients receive oral omeprazole and oral amoxicillin twice daily for 2 weeks. Three months later, patients are re-evaluated for H. pylori infection. Patients with persistent H. pylori infection receive omeprazole and amoxicillin for an additional 2 weeks. Patients also receive vitamin and mineral supplement placebos and garlic supplement placebo as in arm I.


  • Arm VI: Patients receive omeprazole and amoxicillin as in arm V. Patients also receive vitamin and mineral supplement placebos as in arm I and garlic supplement as in arm II.


  • Arm VII: Patients receive omeprazole and amoxicillin as in arm V. Patients also receive vitamin and mineral supplements as in arm III and garlic supplement placebo as in arm I.


  • Arm VIII: Patients receive omeprazole and amoxicillin as in arm V. Patients also receive vitamin and mineral supplements as in arm III and garlic supplement as in arm II.


  • Arm IX: Patients receive omeprazole and amoxicillin placebos, vitamin and mineral supplement placebos, and garlic supplement placebo as in arm I.


  • Arm X: Patients receive omeprazole and amoxicillin placebos and vitamin and mineral supplement placebos as in arm I. Patients also receive garlic supplement as in arm II.


  • Arm XI: Patients receive omeprazole and amoxicillin placebos as in arm I. Patients also receive vitamin and mineral supplements as in arm III and garlic supplement placebo as in arm I.


  • Arm XII: Patients receive omeprazole and amoxicillin placebos as in arm I. Patients also receive vitamin and mineral supplements as in arm III and garlic supplement as in arm II.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
