Phase 4
Conditions
Helicobacter Pylori Infection
Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing
Interventions
Drug: two antibiotics based on personal medication history(amoxicillin,clarithromycin,furazolidone)
Drug: two sensitive antibiotics(amoxicillin, clarithromycin, metronidazole, tinidazole, levofloxacin, furazolidone and tetracycline)
Drug: one proton pump inhibitor(PPI)

Registration Number
NCT03571230
Lead Sponsor
Shandong University
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy of 10-day antimicrobial susceptibility test guided triple therapy for the first-line treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection, then comparing it with 14-day empirical tailored therapy to tell which one has a better performance in both efficacy and safety.

Detailed Description

Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori), which infects about 50% of the global population, has been recognized as a main risk factor of multiple gastric pathologies, especially non-cardiac gastric cancer. Strongly evidence supports that H.pylori eradication is an effective approach to reduce the incidence of those pathologies. Antimicrobial susceptibility test can pick out sensitive drugs to kill Helicobacter pylori, and reduce secondary drug resistance. But, there is a lack of high quality RCT to compare its efficacy with empirical regimen in the first-line treatment.

Our study aims to assess the efficacy of 10-day antimicrobial susceptibility test guided triple therapy for the first-line treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection. Comparing this regimen with 14-day Empirical Tailored Therapy to tell which one is better in clinic practice. We also want to find whether the 10-day antimicrobial susceptibility test guided triple therapy has less intestinal dysbacteriosis with a shorter duration.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Eradication rates in 2 groups6 months

Both intention to treat(ITT) and per-protocol(PP) analyses will be used for the assessment of the eradication rates of Helicobacter pylori infections in two groups. 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

Dyspepsia symptoms will be measured using a 8-point Likert scale, and patients rate their symptoms from 0 (none) to 8 (severe) before and after the Helicobacter pylori eradication.

The rate of adverse events happening6 months

Similarly, adverse events will also be measured by the Likert scale.

The rate of good compliance6 months

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

Difference of cost per patient for each eradication achieved in two groups6 months
