Filter by:10-day sequential therapy was not sufficient to overcome tough situation for H. pylori eradication in Korea due to high antimicrobial resistance. The present investigators assumed that doubling duration of second phase of sequential therapy might have more potent bactericidal efficacy than previous 10-day sequential regimen. But 15-day regimen with initial 5-day PPI with amoxicillin followed by remaining 10-day PPI, clarithromycin with metronidazole was not ever tested before. Moreover, whether extending the sequential therapy to 15-day might be more effective than 10-day sequential therapy is unknown especially in Korea. From this background, the present investigators prepared clinical trials regarding modified sequential therapy which was extending the treatment duration to 15 days compared than previous 10-day sequential therapy regimen. In addition, pre-treatment antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed to find the possibility to overcome antimicrobial resistance.
Patients who had received H.pylori eradication treatment will be categorised as eradication and reinfection status and whether dental scaling has any influence on these results.
In this study, the presence of H.Pylori in the gallbladder mucosa of patients with symptomatic gallstones undergoing cholecystectomy was investigated. Concomitant H.Pylori infection of the gastric mucosa was also investigated to study the relationship of gastric H.Pylori infection to gallstones. It was hypothesized that H.Pylori infection of the gastric mucosa may have a role in the formation of gallstones.
The eradication rates of first-line treatment for Helicobacter pylori(Hp) infection are not satisfactory. The study aims to compare the efficacy and safety between quadruple therapy with furazolidone and dual therapy with high doses of amoxicillin as rescue regimens for Hp.
patients who had failed previous H. pylori eradication on standard triple therapy were randomized into two regimens: 1, esomeprazole (20 mg b.i.d), tripotassium dicitrate bismuthate (300 mg q.i.d), metronidazole (500 mg t.i.d), and tetracycline (500 mg q.i.d) (EBMT) or 2, moxifloxacin (400 mg q.d.), esomeprazole (20 mg b.i.d), and amoxicillin (1000 mg b.i.d.) (MEA). At four weeks after completion of eradication therapy, H. pylori tests were performed with 13C urea breath test (UBT) or invasive tests (Giemsa histology, CLO test, and culture). In patients who maintained continuous H. pylori negativity for the first year after eradication therapy, H. pylori status was assessed every year. For the evaluation of risk factors of reinfection, gender, age, clinical diagnosis, histological atrophic gastritis or intestinal metaplasia were analyzed.
To simultaneously compare the efficacies of 7-day triple, 10-day sequential and 7-day quadruple therapies for H. pylori infection in Taiwan. Consecutive H. pylori-infected patients were randomly assigned to a 7-day standard triple therapy (pantoprazole, clarithromycin, and amoxicillin for 7 days), a 10-day sequential therapy (pantoprazole and amoxicillin for 5 days, followed by pantoprazole, clarithromycin and metronidazole for a further 5 days) or a 7-day quadruple therapy (pantoprazole, clarithromycin, amoxicillin and metronidazole for 7 days). The end point is to evaluate the effectiveness of Helicobacter pylori eradication rates between three groups.
Helicobacter pylori (HP), a bacterium present in many people's stomachs, is one of the major causes of ulcers and cancers. Up to 20% of patients infected with H. pylori may develop peptic ulcers. However, failure rate is rising due to multiple resistant H. pylori infection. The eradication rate of first line clarithromycin based therapy has fallen to below 80%. Both quadruple and sequential treatment regime has been proposed as the first-line empirical regime. Nevertheless, comparison in terms of efficacy and side effects between the two regime remained unknown. The aim of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy and tolerability of H. pylori eradication with a 10-day quadruple therapy versus sequential therapy as empirical first and second line treatment.
To test the efficacy of 14 day levofloxacin and bismuth-containing second-line therapy for resistant Helicobacter pylori infection, to compare with the classical quadruple therapy.
The investigators performed a 4-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of InSan Bamboo Salt on improvement of Helicobacter pylori infection. The investigators measured improvement of Helicobacter pylori infection parameters , including 14C-UBT(Urea breath test), and subjects' symptoms, and monitored their blood pressure.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection is effective in the improvement of platelet counts in children and adolescents with chronic ITP.
