About this study

Official title: Comparison of Two Rescue Therapies for Helicobacter Pylori Infection - A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

From the profiles of antibiotic susceptibility data following eradication therapy, tetracycline, amoxicillin and levofloxacin are all good candidates of antibiotics used in the rescue treatment.

Read the detailed description

The H pylori-infected adult patients with failure of standard triple therapy and H pylori-infected adult patients with failure of non-bismuth quadruple therapy are randomly assigned to either EALT (esomeprazole 40 mg b.d., amoxicillin 500 mg q.d.s., levofloxacin 500 mg o.d., and tetracycline 500 mg q.d.s.) therapy or EAL (esomeprazole 40 mg b.d., amoxicillin 500 mg q.d.s., and levofloxacin 500 mg o.d.) for 10 days. Repeated endoscopy with rapid urease test, histological examination and culture or urea breath tests is performed at six weeks after the end of anti-H pylori therapy.

Being tested
esomeprazole+amox+levo+tetra, esomeprazole+amox+levo
Keywords
