Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of high-dose dual therapy compared with furazolidone-based quadruple therapy as a rescue treatment for helicobacter pylori infection.

Description:

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is common worldwide and is strongly associated with peptic ulcer and gastric cancer. The eradication rate of H. pylori treatment is limited in the recent years although standard first-line therapy is used. There is a growing antibiotic resistance due to antibiotic consumption for other infections. The failure of first-line therapy for H. pylori can significantly limit the efficacy of the subsequent rescue therapies.

H. pylori resistance to amoxicillin (AMO), both primary and acquired, have been reported to be uncommon. The bactericidal effect of AMO against H. pylori is pH- and time- dependent with a sustaining higher intragastric pH. Thus, the therapy consisting of high-dose PPI and AMO may have advantage over the currently recommended furazolidone-based quadruple therapy.
