Brief Summary

The main objective of this trial is to assess whether a sequential therapy strategy based on molecular antibiotic susceptibility testing (including clarithromycin and fluoroquinolone) for H. pylori infection will improve the eradication rate compared to an empirical therapy.

Detailed Description

This trial is designed as a prospective, randomised, open-label, active-controlled and single-centre study. For empirical therapy group(control group), Bismuth quadruple therapy will be an empirical first-line therapy, and high dose dual (proton-pump inhibitor + amoxicillin) treatment will be for rescue therapy if the first-line empirical treat failure. For the susceptibility-guided sequential therapy group, regimens were selected based on H. pylori susceptibility to clarithromycin and levofloxacin. The primary outcome is the first-line eradication rate in both groups, and the overall (including first- and rescue therapies) H. pylori eradication rates in both groups is one of the secondary outcomes. The eradication rates of H. pylori will be analysed by intention-to-treat analysis, modified intention-to-treat analysis and per-protocol analysis.

GroupInterventionDescription
empirical therapy group rescue treatmentempirical therapy group rescue treatmentIf BQT fails, HDDT-esomeprazole (20 mg, four times daily) and amoxicillin (750 mg, four times daily)-will be used as a rescue treatment for 14 days.
empirical therapy group first-lineempirical therapy group first-lineThe empirical therapy group will receive Bismuth-containing quadruple therapy(BQT) as first-line treatment, The BQT regime is comprising of esomeprazole (20 mg, twice daily), colloidal bismuth pectin (150 mg, four times daily), clarithromycin (500 mg, twice daily), and amoxicillin (1.0 g, twice daily) for 14 days.
clarithromycin-sensitive(first-line)clarithromycin-sensitive(first-line)If H. pylori is sensitive to clarithromycin, we will administer clarithromycin triple therapy-esomeprazole (20 mg, twice daily), clarithromycin (500 mg, twice daily), and amoxicillin (1.0 g, twice daily)-for 14 days
levofloxacin-sensitive(rescue treatment)levofloxacin-sensitive(rescue treatment)If H. pylori was levofloxacin-sensitive, we will use the levofloxacin quadruple regimen as rescue treatment-esomeprazole (20 mg, twice daily), levofloxacin (500 mg, once daily), amoxicillin (1.0 g, twice daily), and colloidal bismuth pectin (150 mg, four times daily)-for 14 days.
clarithromycin-resistant(first-line)clarithromycin-resistant(first-line)If H. pylori is clarithromycin resistance, we selected the High-dose dual therapy (HDDT) regimen as first-line treatment. HDDT-esomeprazole (20 mg, four times daily) and amoxicillin (750 mg, four times daily)-will be used for 14 days.
levofloxacin-resistant(rescue treatment)levofloxacin-resistant(rescue treatment)If H. pylori was levofloxacin-resistant, we will use furazolidone quadruple regimen as rescue treatment-esomeprazole (20 mg, twice daily), furazolidone (100 mg, twice daily), amoxicillin (1.0 g, twice daily), and colloidal bismuth pectin (150 mg, four times daily)-for 14 days.
