Filter by:This study investigates the efficacy of a b.i.d. quadruple therapy containing Pylera® or L. reuteri for H. pylori infection.
The investigators in the present study, aimed to assess the efficacy of both White-Light Endoscopy with High Resolution Endoscopy-Narrow-band imaging in the diagnosis of Premalignant Gastric Conditions, before and after Helicobacter pylori-eradication. A prospective study was performed in our institution involving the regular use of high resolution gastroscopes with and without Narrow-band imaging. From May 2018 to April 2019, all patients that received an endoscopic diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori-related gastritis with/without Premalignant Gastric Conditions by an expert endoscopist, were reassessed by White-Light Endoscopy and High Resolution Endoscopy-Narrow-band imaging, including biopsy samples according to the Sydney system, six months later after the proved Helicobacter pylori-eradication.
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) gastritis is a common bacterial infection among the elderly population. H. pylori infection causes chronic progressive gastric inflammation, peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. Gastric cancer is a significant contributor of cancer-related mortality. The eradication of H. pylori reduces the incidence of gastric cancer. However, the efficacy of H. pylori eradication has decreased dramatically because of antibiotic resistance. This study aims to (i) compare the eradication rates of H. pylori by triple therapy with vonoprazan for the treatment of H. pylori gastritis) (TTV regimen), with triple therapy with conventional proton pump inhibitor (PPI) (TTP regimen) in a multi-racial Asian cohort, (ii) evaluate the prevalence of antibiotic (klacid/amoxicillin/levofloxacin/tetracycline) resistance in H. pylori infected patients, and (iii) assess the safety of the TTV regimen. Diagnosed H. pylori-infected patients (n=252) will be enrolled and randomized 1:1 to TTV or TTP regimen. Gastric biopsies will be cultured and antibiotic sensitivity evaluated using E-test/agar dilution method. The safety of TTV regimen will be assessed using adverse effect questionnaire. This study may potentially impact on prescribing policies and management of H. pylori infections for improved therapeutic outcome.
Up to know, three is few large-scale, randomized study prospectively and simultaneously comparing the efficacy, adverse effects and patient compliance of high-dose dual therapy (HDDT) with or without bismuth versus amoxicillin-metronidazole bismuth quadruple therapy (AM-BQT) as first-line regimens for H. pylori eradication. The aims of this study are: 1. to compare the efficacy of HDDT with or without bismuth and AM-BQT as first-line regimens for H. pylori eradication; 2. to compare the patient adherence and adverse effects of these treatment regimens; 3. to investigate factors that may influence H. pylori eradication by these treatment regimens; 4. to identify the effect of H. pylori eradication on the evolution of ecosystem of microbiota, and inflammatory parameters.
The investigators investigated the point mutations in the 23S rRNA genes of patients infected with clarithromycin-resistant H. pylori and compared the H. pylori eradication rates based on the identified clinically significant point mutations.
The aim of this study is to Identify antibiotic resistance gene mutations in Helicobacter pylori (HP) and genetic diversity of drug metabolism for antibiotics and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in patients with HP infection using next-generation sequencing (NGS). The mutation of host/HP strain will be investigated by single NGS, and the eradication results according to genetic polymorphism of host/HP strain will be analyzed.
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is an important causal factor of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, gastric cancer and gastric lymphoma. The World Health Organization classified H. pylori as a Group 1 carcinogen in 1994. Endoscopic examination is indicated to confirm the above diagnosis for patient with H. pylori infection. The eradication of H. pylori can reduce the recurrence rate of peptic ulcer disease and even has the potential to prevent gastric cancer. H. pylori is the most common chronic bacterial infection in humans. The prevalence of H. pylori is about 30-50% in the Western adult population. It is estimated that about 50% of people are infected with this bacterium in Taiwan. Triple therapy which contains a proton pump inhibitor and two antibiotics among clarithromycin, amoxicillin, and metronidazole is the most commonly used regimen for H. pylori eradication. The treatment duration is 7 to 14 days. However, the eradication rate of standard triple therapy has fallen below 80% in many countries due to the worldwide increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistant strains. Several strategies have been proposed to increase the eradication rate in the first line therapy or as a rescue therapy, including extending the treatment duration to 14 days, increasing the doses of antibiotics, the use of four or even five drugs regimen (sequential, concomitant, quadruple or quintuple therapy), and other antibiotics such as levofloxacin. However, these therapies may increase the side effects and costs of treatment, decrease the compliance of patients and increase the rate of worldwide antibiotic resistance steadily. The WHO has listed H. Pylori as one of 16 antibiotic-resistant bacteria that have the greatest threat to human health in February, 2017. The most commonly used oral antibiotics for the treatment of H. pylori are Amoxicillin、Clarithromycin、Metronidazole、Levofloxacin and Tetracycline. However, with the increasing rates of antibiotic-resistance for Clarithromycin and Metronidazole, the Clarithromycin and Metronidazole were replaced by Levofloxacin as a first line or second line treatment in some area. However, the eradication rate of Levofloxacin-containing triple therapy is suboptimal in many countries. The investigators aim to compare the efficacy of different formulation between Levofloxacin Powder and Levofloxacin Solution in the Intraluminal levofloxacin therapy, and to improve the eradication efficacy of one-week Levofloxacin-containing triple therapy via the Intraluminal therapy.
Background: Recommended proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-clarithromycin-amoxicillin or metronidazole treatment for 7 to14 days is the first choice treatment for H pylori infection. The eradication rate of the standard triple therapy has generally declined to unacceptable levels (i.e., 80% or less) recently because the increasing incidence of clarithromycin-resistant strains of H. pylori. Standard triple therapies should be abandoned in the areas with clarithromycin resistance ≥ 20%. The investigators have proven that 7-day Concomitant therapy can achieve a promising success rate of >90 % in the presence of clarithromycin resistance. However, high dose PPI is needed with a dosage of twice daily but when a dual delayed release formulation PPI in capsules for oral administration (Dexlansoprazole MR), a once daily dose may be needed only. The capsules contain dexlansoprazole in a mixture of two types of enteric-coated granules with different pH-dependent dissolution profiles. It suppresses gastric acid secretion via inhibition of the proton pump in the gastric parietal cell, which blocks the final step of acid production. Thus, it improves acid suppression and offer benefits over conventional single release PPI formulations. by prolonging optimal plasma concentration and create a favorable condition H. pylori eradication Aim: The efficacy of Dexlansoprazole MR-based concomitant quadruple therapy
The hypothesis and plan of the current study are: 1. One induction phase of high dose PPI before eradication will increase intragastric pH and induce H. pylori into an active replicative status. Active replicative status will enhance the bactericidal effect of amoxicillin. Rabeprazole (20 mg) four times per day (qid) for 3 days will be used for induction in this study. 2. High dose PPI will provide adequate plasma concentration irrespective of the CYP2C19 genotype of the population. Here rabeprazole (20 mg) qid will be applied as high dose PPI. 3. High frequent amoxicillin usage (500 mg, qid) will maintain plasma concentration above the MIC. Amoxicillin (500 mg) qid will be described for total 14 days. 4. In the rescue therapy, add levofloxacin on high dose dual therapy will increase the eradication rate than single high dose dual therapy. A combination of levofloxacin and high dose dual therapy will also have a better eradication rate than the common used levofloxacin based triple therapy.
From the profiles of antibiotic susceptibility data following eradication therapy, tetracycline, amoxicillin and levofloxacin are all good candidates of antibiotics used in the rescue treatment.
