As increasing the antibiotics resistance, the effectiveness of traditional Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) therapies has been declined coincidentally.
In this study, the investigators evaluated the efficacy of H. pylori eradication between a 7 days personalized therapy for H. pylori infection based on the results of antibiotics resistance by using H. pylori culture and minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the 14 days bismuth contained quadruple 2nd rescue regimens, and the investigators analyzed the prevalence of the antibiotic resistance after 1st eradication of H. pylori in the tailored therapy group.
Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Helicobacter Infection | Procedure: H. pylori culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing Drug: 14 days empirical bismuth quadruple therapy (Proton pump inhibitor) Drug: Metronidazole Drug: Tetracycline Drug: tripotassium dicitrate bismuthate Drug: 7 days tailored therapy Proton Pump Inhibitor Drug: Moxifloxacin Drug: Amoxicillin | Not Applicable |
The patients who had shown the evidence of persistent H. pylori infection after the 1st eradication were enrolled for this study.
After giving the informed consent about the method and efficacy (ITT and PP analysis) of the 14 days bismuth quadruple 2nd rescue therapy and the 7 days tailored therapy for H. pylori infection based on culture and MIC, the patients were randomly classified into the two regimen group under the patient's agreement and underwent 2nd eradication [14 days bismuth-based quadruple therapy (Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) regular dose b.i.d., tripotassium dicitrate bismuthate 300 mg q.i.d. (three tablets at 30 min before meals and one tablet at 2 hours after dinner), metronidazole 500 mg t.i.d., and tetracycline 500 mg q.i.d.), or 7 days tailored therapy based on H. pylori culture and MIC (select the 2nd rescue regimen between 7 days of bismuth-based quadruple therapy or 7 days moxifloxacin-containing triple therapy (PPI regular dose b.i.d., moxifloxacin 400 mg q.d., and amoxicillin 1g b.i.d.) according to antibiotics susceptibility.
This study was designed to evaluate the success of eradication for enrolled participants by methods of an open labelled randomized prospectively.

Active Comparator: 14 days PBMT group
Giving the 14 days bismuth quadruple regimen as 2nd rescue therapy for eradication of persistent H. pylori infection Drug regimen Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) regular dose b.i.d., tripotassium dicitrate bismuthate 300 mg q.i.d. (three tablets at 30 min before meals and one tablet at 2 hours after dinner), metronidazole 500 mg t.i.d., and tetracycline 500 mg q.i.d

Drug: 14 days empirical bismuth quadruple therapy (Proton pump inhibitor)
Giving the 14 days PBMT regimen as 2nd rescue therapy Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) regular dose b.i.d., tripotassium dicitrate bismuthate 300 mg q.i.d. (three tablets at 30 min before meals and one tablet at 2 hours after dinner), metronidazole 500 mg t.i.d., and tetracycline 500 mg q.i.d. Drug: Metronidazole Drug: Tetracycline Drug: tripotassium dicitrate bismuthate |
Experimental: 7 days tailored therapy group
According the antimicrobial susceptibility testing, the H. pylori isolates were resistant to moxifloxacin, 7 days PBMT regimen were prescribed; if the isolates were resistant to metronidazole, 7 days moxiflxacin based triple regimen (PPI regular dose b.i.d., moxifloxacin 400 mg q.d., and amoxicillin 1g b.i.d) were prescribed.

Procedure: H. pylori culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing
This intervention will be performed in 7 days tailored therapy group. All the patients who enrolled in this arm, they will be received endoscopy guided biopsy procedure. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined by the agar dilution method. Amoxicillin, clarithromycin, metronidazo, tetracycline and moxifloxacin for the H. pylori isolates were examined by use of the serial two fold agar dilution method Drug: 7 days tailored therapy Proton Pump Inhibitor Drug: Moxifloxacin Drug: Amoxicillin |
- Compare the percentage of participants with successful H. pylori eradication in each groups [ Time Frame: 6 weeks after completion of eradication ]
The efficacy of H. pylori eradication between a 7 days tailored therapy for H. pylori infection based on the results of antimicrobial resistance by using H. pylori culture and minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the 14 days bismuth quadruple therapy as 2nd rescue regimens.
The eradication rate was evaluated by intention to treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) analysis
