Filter by:The prevalence of H. pylori antibiotic resistance has reached an alarming level worldwide. Antibiotic stewardship programs should be urgently developed and implemented. However, H. pylori antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is rarely offered, making local resistance patterns not easily available. Guideline-recommended empiric therapies (GR-ET) may no longer reliably achieve high cure rate in the era of increasing antibiotic resistance. susceptibility-guided tailored therapy (SG-TT) may be a good choice to solve this problem. The aims of this study are: 1. to compare the efficacy of SG-TT with GR-ET as rescue 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.
Current guidelines mandate Helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori) eradication with 2-3 antibiotics for 14 days ,This may result in multiple side effects and in eradication of important bacterial species to human health, exposing humans to multiple disease conditions. Preservation of fecal microbiome prior to antibiotic therapy and auto-transplantation of the microbes post H. pylori eradication, will enable avoiding eradication of beneficial microbial populations and perhaps protect from consequent disease conditions.
This multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted to compare the eradication efficacy and health economic benefits of individualized regimens based on HP drug resistance mutation gene detection (multiple PCR method), individualized regimens based on HP traditional drug sensitivity testing (E-test method) and empirical regimens in the Helicobacter pylori treatment.
To assess antimicrobial resistance rates and minimal inhibitory concentrations in H. pylori isolated from patients with upper gastrointestinal disease with long-term period.
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is closely related to the occurrence of gastric cancer and other diseases, the discovery and eradication of H. pylori infection has great significance to the prevention and treatment of related diseases. At the same time,understanding the influencing factors of H. pylori infection and eradication failure in the population can provide a scientific basis for the formulation of local H. pylori prevention and control strategies. So, the investigators intend to analyze the factors related to H. pylori infection and eradication failure in the outpatients of gastroenterology clinics in Xi'an, China.
The purpose of this study is to assess and compare the effectiveness of furazolidone-tetracycline-containing and metronidazole-tetracycline-containing quadruple regimens for the rescue treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection inpatients allergic to penicillin.
The purpose of this study is to assess and compare the effectiveness of levofloxacin-tetracycline -containing and metronidazole-tetracycline-containing quadruple regimens for the primary treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection in patients allergic to penicillin.
Helicobacter pylori affects the gut microbiome in ways that are only partially understood. In which patients H. pylori causes severe disease and in whom it merely colonizes, possibly even with beneficial effects, is not understood. The investigators are pursuing the hypothesis that changes in the gut microbiome that can be easily measured in stool have such predictive value.
Helicobacter pylori is a pathogenic bacteria transmitted from individual to individual, being scientifically recognized as an agent who causes persistent inflammatory activity on the gastric mucosa. This pathogen represents a Global Health problem, as shown in a systematic review by Hooi et al. Besides regional differences, more that half of the world population is expected to have already been infected by this bacteria. In Portugal, research studies estimate that more than 80% of the adult population has already contacted with H. pylori. H. pylori infection is associated with active chronic gastritis in every colonized patient, what may consequently lead to peptic ulcer disease, atrophic gastritis, gastric adenocarcinoma and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. For that reason, H. pylori infection is considered to be a disease, independently of the presence of gastrointestinal symptoms. Additionally, H. pylori has been classified as a confirmed carcinogen (class I) by the International Agency for Research, being responsible for carcinogenic pathways conducting to both gastric adenocarcinoma and lymphoma. This fact gains a particular relevance taking into account that gastric cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide. On other hand, more than 75% of the gastric cancers occur following H. pylori infection. Thus, H. pylori eradication constitutes an essential Public Health measurement, being inclusively considered a cost-effective method to decrease the gastric cancer burden, by promoting pre-malignant lesions regression, such as atrophic gastritis, and by delaying the disease progression in case of intestinal metaplasia or dysplasia. Maastricht V consensus is a document updated in 2016, including the major recommendations regarding H. pylori diagnosis, follow-up and treatment. It highlights the emergence of antibiotic resistances and how they must influence clinical practice, namely the choice of antibiotic regimens, as successful eradication has become less frequent with more prevalent antibiotic resistances. This is the case of clarithromycin and metronidazol, both currently recommended as first-line options by the Portuguese Society of Gastroenterology. In fact, a systematic review conducted in 2018, aiming to evaluate antibiotic resistances on the Portuguese population observed that clarithromycin, metronidazole and double resistance occurred in 42%, 25% and 20% of the individuals, respectively. Nowadays, Maastricht V guidelines recommend quadruple regimens containing bismuth, such as Pylera (r), as the first-line option in areas with significant double resistance to metronidazole and clarithromycin. Another option currently being investigated is the double therapy with amoxicillin in high doses and proton pump inhibitor. This has become a particularly attractive alternative due to its efficacy, good tolerability and significantly low resistance (<1%) among the European population. The aim of this clinical trial is to compare both regimens - pylera (r) and high-dose amoxycillin - in H. pylori eradication, regarding their efficacy, tolerability and side effects, in order to asses viable therapeutic options in a population with progressively increasing resistances to alternative regimens currently recommended.
To compare the performance of four treatment regimens for radical treatment of Helicobacter pylori, evaluating the efficacy, safety, patient compliance, and socioeconomic evaluation of the four regimens. The four treatment regimens included (1) Vonoprazan Fumarate + amoxicillin + doxycycline, (2) Vonoprazan Fumarate + furazolidone + doxycycline, (3) esomeprazole + colloidal bismuth tartrate + amoxicillin + doxycycline, and (4) esomeprazole + colloidal bismuth tartrate + furazolidone + doxycycline.
