Filter by:This prospective controlled randomized open-label clinical trial is designed to determine the eradication rate of 7-day levofloxacin, amoxicillin/clavulanate and rabeprazole regimen compared with 7-day standard triple therapy for adults infected with Helicobacter pylori in Eastern Taiwan.
The purpose of this study is to compare the eradication efficacy of 10-day triple therapy with 10-day sequential therapy with tetracycline or metronidazole.
This prospective controlled randomized open-label clinical trial is designed to determine the optimal eradication rate of rabeprazole based sequential-concommitant hybrid therapies for adults infected with Helicobacter pylori in Eastern Taiwan. Enrolled patients will receive 3, 5 or 7 days of pre-concommitant (sequential part) treatment with rabeprazole + amoxicillin, then 7 days of concommitant treatment with rabeprazole + amoxicillin + clarithromycin + metronidazole.
A five day quadruple concomitant therapy is as effective and safe as a 10 day sequential therapy for eradication of H. pylori infection.
The objective of this study is to elucidate the role of drinking water derived from the public source in Lima, Peru and transmission of H. pylori infection using genotypic techniques.
Due to the high rate of resistance to clarithromycin in our area the investigators proposed an study to assess the need of antibiogram previous to the empirical OCA 10 treatment, in order to improve the rate of eradication.
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infects approximately 50% of the adult population and is well recognized as the main cause of gastritis, peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. The cure of the H. pylori infection prevents recurrence of duodenal and gastric ulcer and improves dyspepsia in a significant proportion of cases, so it is cost-effective. Eradication therapy has changed over time. Recent meta-analyses have that the current global eradication rate after standard triple therapy (STT) is less than 80%. Several European studies have found even lower eradication rates, with 35-40% of cases resulting in treatment failure, probably due to increased resistance to antibiotics in many geographical areas, principally to clarithromycin. The usually recommended pattern in the American and European (Maastricht III) consensus conferences from 2007 has traditionally been triple therapy, composed by the combination of 2 antibiotics (clarithromycin plus amoxicillin or metronidazole) and a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) for 7-14 days. However, triple therapy was discouraged in settings with high rates of clarithromycin resistance (15-20%) and, as such, new strategies in order to improve the efficacy of first-line treatments are required. Treatment failure increases antibiotic resistant strains, leads to a second treatment and a new diagnostic test to confirm eradication. Unfortunately, it remains unknown whether there is room for improvement in these geographical areas using clarithromycin-containing therapies or switching to bismuth quadruple therapy should be followed instead.
The purpose of the study is to confirm that simultaneous use of L. reuteri ProGastria and omeprazole for 28 days can eradicate H. pylori in humans in the absence of antibiotics.
1. Back ground Antibiotics resistance of Helicobacter pylori, especially to clarithromycin is one of the main causes of failure of eradication. 23S rRNA point mutation of Helicobacter pylori is associated clarithromycin resistance 2. Hypothesis If the investigators check the 23S rRNA point mutation then choose treatment regimens containing a proton pump inhibitor and combination of two antibiotics (amoxicillin and clarithromycin or metronidazole), the investigators will eradicate Helicoabacter pylori more successfully 3. Material & methods The investigators enroll patients diagnosed with peptic ulcer, endoscopically. Helicobacter pylori is documented with Urea breath test or silver staining biopsy specimen or polymerase chain reaction of biopsy specimen. Check the 23S rRNA A2142G/A2143G point mutation by polymerase chain reaction. If there is mutation, the investigators consider as resistance to clarithromycin and choose the treatment regimen containing a proton pump inhibitor, amoxicillin, metronidazole. If there is no mutation, choose the treatment regimen containing a proton pump inhibitor, amoxicillin, clarithromycin. Verify Helicobacter pylori eradication by urea breath test. Compare eradication rate with conventional treatment,proton pump inhibitor, amoxicillin, clarithromycin.
The aim of this randomized trial is to compare the efficacy and tolerability of H. pylori eradication with a 5-day quadruple therapy versus a clarithromycin-containing triple therapy.
