Efficacies of Antimicrobial Susceptibility-Guided Versus Empirical Therapy for Rescue Treatment of Helicobacter Pylori Infection

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Helicobacter Pylori Infection
Interventions
Drug: one proton pump inhibitor, colloidal bismuth pectin
Drug: two sensitive antibiotics(amoxicillin, clarithromycin, metronidazole, tinidazole, levofloxacin, furazolidone and tetracycline)
Drug: two antibiotics based on personal medication history(amoxicillin,levofloxacin, furazolidone)
Registration Number
NCT03658746
Lead Sponsor
Shandong University
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy of 14-day antimicrobial susceptibility test guided quadruple therapy for the rescue treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection, then comparing it with 14-day empirical therapy according to personal medication history.

Detailed Description

Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori), which infects about 50% of the global population, has been classified as the first risk factor of gastric cancer. Strong evidence supports that H.pylori eradication is an effective approach to reduce the incidence of those pathological processes. Antimicrobial susceptibility test can pick out sensitive drugs to kill H.pylori, and reduce secondary drug resistance. However, there is a lack of high quality RCT to evaluate its efficacy in the rescue treatment of Helicobacter infection.

The investigator's study aims to assess the efficacy of 14-day antimicrobial susceptibility test guided quadruple therapy for the rescue treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection. Then, comparing this regimen with 14-day empirical therapy according to personal medication history to tell which one is better in clinic practice.

Empirical therapy according to medication historyone proton pump inhibitor, colloidal bismuth pectinPatients in this group will receive a 14-day quadruple therapy based on personal medication history for helicobacter pylori eradication. The regimen contains one proton pump inhibitor, Colloidal Bismuth Pectin and two antibiotics chosen according to medication history. If the patient hasn't been treated with levofloxacin in the previous eradication regimen, he will be treated with amoxicillin and levofloxacin. Otherwise, he will be treated with amoxicillin and furazolidone. Drugs: 1.one proton pump inhibitor: rabeprazole 10mg bid for 14d 2.Colloidal Bismuth Pectin 200mg bid for 14d 3.two antibiotics based on personal medication history: amoxicillin 1000mg bid and levofloxacin 500mg qd for 14d, amoxicillin 1000mg bid and furazolidone 100mg bid for 14d.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Eradication rates6 months

Both intention to treat(ITT) and per-protocol(PP) analyses will be used for the assessment of the eradication rates of Helicobacter pylori infection. The ITT analysis includes all randomly assigned patients who take at least one dose of the study medications. The PP analysis is limited to patients who take over 90% of the study medications and complete follow-up.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The rates of improving dyspepsia symptoms after helicobacter pylori eradication.6 months

Dyspepsia symptoms will also be measured using a 8-point Likert scale.be compared. Common adverse events will be measured using a 8-point Likert scale. Patients rate their symptoms from 0 (none) to 8 (severe) before and after the treatment process.

The rates of good compliance.6 months

Patients taken over 90% of drugs are considered to have a good compliance.

The rates of adverse events happening6 months

Common adverse events will be measured using a 8-point Likert scale, and patients rate their symptoms from 0 (none) to 8 (severe) during the treatment process.
