Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Helicobacter Pylori Infection
Interventions
Drug: 10d AL quadruple therapy
Drug: 10d TL quadruple therapy
Registration Number
NCT03779087
Lead Sponsor
Ping-I (William) Hsu, M.D.
Brief Summary

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.

Detailed Description

The H pylori-infected adult patients with failure of standard triple therapy and H pylori-infected adult patients with failure of non-bismuth quadruple therapy are randomly assigned to either TL quadruple therapy (esomeprazole-bismuth-tetracycline-levofloxacin regimen) or AL quadruple therapy (esomeprazole-bismuth-amoxicillin-levofloxacin regimen) for 10 days. Repeated endoscopy with rapid urease test, histological examination and culture or urea breath tests is performed at six weeks after the end of anti-H pylori therapy.
