Tailored Therapy for Helicobacter Pylori Rescue Treatment

Registration Number
NCT03413020
Lead Sponsor
Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine
Brief Summary

With increasing antibiotic resistance and unsatisfactory results of empiric eradication regimens, tailored therapy may be the best choice to achieve high efficacy for rescue treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the eradication rates, safety, and compliance of antimicrobial susceptibility-based tailored therapy for rescue treatment in patients with Helicobacter pylori infection.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Helicobacter pylori eradication rateSix weeks after completion of therapy

Six weeks after completion of therapy, H. pylori eradication was assessed by ¹³C-urea breath test. Eradication was defined as negative result from urea breath test (\<4‰) (4‰ as the cutoff value).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rate of adverse effectsWithin 7 days after completion of therapy

The subjects were asked to grade the severity of adverse events according to their influence on daily activities, experienced as "mild" (transient and well tolerated), "moderate" (causing discomfort and partially interfering with daily activities), or "severe" (causing considerable interference with daily activities).

Compliance rateWithin 7 days after completion of therapy

Compliance was defined as poor when they had taken less than 80% of the total medication.
