Clinical Trial Summary

The eradication rate of standard quadruple therapy has become less successful due to low compliance and high resistance to the antibiotics. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new treatment strategies that increase the eradication rate and reduce adverse effects. The aims of this prospective study is to investigate the efficacy of Saccharomyces Boulardii sachets for eradication of Hp, compared with standard quadruple therap.

Description:

In China, the first-line therapy to treat Helicobacter pylori (Hp) consists of a bismuth-based proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and two antibiotics for 14 days. But, eradication has become less successful due to low compliance and high resistance to the antibiotics. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new treatment strategies that increase the eradication rate and reduce adverse effects. Several studies previously suggested that probiotics could be effective for improving Hp eradication rate or reducing adverse events with PPI-based triple therapy. But, their effect for eradication of Hp is not yet conclusive. And the experiments now available about efficacy of Saccharomyces Boulardii were mainly combined with triple therapy. The aims of this prospective study is to investigate the efficacy of Saccharomyces Boulardii sachets for eradication of Hp, compared with standard quadruple therapy.
