Study aim
-
Investigating the effect of celecoxib on the alleviation of gastric metaplasia
-
Design
-
Clinical trial with control group, with parallel groups, one-sided blind, phase, on 80 patients, block randomization
-
Settings and conduct
-
80 patients with gastric metaplasia according to OLGA (stages 1 to 4), referred to the gastroenterology clinic of Taleghani Hospital, will enter the project. First, patients undergo endoscopy and biopsy, and the patients' creatinine level is measured. Patients will be randomly divided into control and case groups. In the control group, four drugs of Helicobacter pylori are prescribed for 40 patients. In the case group, 40 patients will simultaneously receive a four-drug regimen of Helicobacter pylori along with celecoxib 100 mg. Helicobacter diet for two weeks and celecoxib drug for three months are prescribed for patients. After three months, the patients again undergo endoscopy and biopsy and are examined both in terms of eradication of Helicobacter and in terms of metaplasia according to OLGA. This study is one-sided blind, so that the person analyzing does not know about which patient the information is related to.
