Efficacy of Therapy Based on Fecal Molecular Antimicrobial Susceptibility Tests for Helicobacter Pylori Infection

Registration Number
NCT05718609
Lead Sponsor
Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University
Brief Summary

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 14-day quadruple therapy based on fecal molecular antimicrobial susceptibility tests for the first-line eradication of H. pylori infection, thus, providing more evidence to inform the value of fecal antimicrobial susceptibility tests in the first-line treatment of H. pylori infection.

Detailed Description

The eradication rate of H. pylori is decreasing year by year due to the occurrence of bacterial resistance, especially clarithromycin, one of the most widely-used antimicrobials against H. pylori. Understanding antibiotic resistance before treatment may be the main determinant of the successful eradication of H. pylori. Nevertheless, due to the invasive examination of sampling, the economy-benefit ratio, and the harsh cultivation conditions, traditional antimicrobial susceptibility test is rarely used before first-line eradication treatment in the real world. As an alternative, faster and simpler molecular methods applied to fecal samples obviate the need for endoscopy and provide the possibility to popularize the antimicrobial susceptibility tests catering to initial treatment. This study aims to explore the efficacy, safety, and economic benefits of the first-line therapy for H. pylori guided by fecal antimicrobial susceptibility tests.
