About this study

Official title: Comparison of Azithromycin or Clarithromycin in 3drugs Protocol of H-pylori Eradication Regimen

The Aim of this study is comparison between two regimens containing clarithromycinand azithromycin.

Read the detailed description

Eradication of helicobacter pylori is important for treatment of GU but ideal regimen is not available.

HP is resistant to metronidazole and clarithromycin, thus clarithromycin is expensive and it is not available in underdevelopment countries.

There are different articles about replacement clarithromycin with azithromycin as a method of eradication of HP that is decreases length of therapy and increases, effectiveness of drugs and decreases resistance of drugs.

The Aim of this study is comparison between two regimens containing clarithromycinand azithromycin.

Azithromycin is one of the world's best-selling antibiotics.[1] It is derived from erythromycin, with a methyl-substituted nitrogen atom incorporated into the lactone ring, thus making the lactone ring 15-membered.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
