Clarithromycin Triple Therapy Plus Bismuth for Helicobacter Pylori First-line Treatment

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Helicobacter Pylori Infection
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02732249
Lead Sponsor
Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine
Brief Summary

Standard triple therapy including a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and clarithromycin with either amoxicillin or metronidazole are no longer recommended as empirical first-line therapy to treat Helicobacter pylori infection because of high antibiotic resistance. It is unknown whether the addition of bismuth overcome antibiotic resistance. This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the addition of bismuth to standard triple therapy for H. pylori first-line eradication.
