About this study

Official title: 14-Day Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Guided Therapy Versus Personal Medication History Guided Therapy as a Rescue Treatment of Helicobacter Pylori Infection-A Randomized Controlled Trail

The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy of 14-day antimicrobial susceptibility test guided quadruple therapy for the rescue treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection, then comparing it with 14-day personal medication history guided therapy to tell which one has a better performance in both efficacy and safety.

Read the 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 pathology, especially non-cardiac gastric cancer. Strong evidence supports that H.pylori eradication is an effective approach to reduce the incidence of those pathological processes. 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 rescue treatment.

This study aims to assess the efficacy of 14-day antimicrobial susceptibility test guided quadruple therapy for the rescue treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection. Comparing this regimen with 14-day personal Medication History guided therapy to tell which one is better in clinic practice. Alterations in H.pylori assosicated dyspepsia and safety outcomes will also be evaluated.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • susceptibility guided therapyDrug

    Patients will take a gastroscopy and 2 biopsies will be attained from antrum and gastric body for H.pylori culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). The susceptibility of amoxicillin, clarithromycin, metronidazole, levofloxacin, furazolidone and tetracycline will be tested.Then patients with positive culture will be treated with a 14-day quadruple therapy for the H.pylori eradication. The regimen contains rabeprazole 20mg bid, colloidal bismuth pectin 200mg bid, and two sensitive antibiotics determined by AST. Dose of two sensitive antibiotics are listed as follows : amoxicillin 1000mg bid, clarithromycin 500mg bid, tinidazole 500mg tid, levofloxacin 500mg qd, furazolidone 100mg bid, tetracycline 500mg qid.

  • personal medication history guided therapyDrug

    Patients will be treated with a 14-day emprical tailored quadruple therapy for the H.pylori eradication. The regimen contains rabeprazole 20mg bid, colloidal bismuth pectin 200mg bid and two antibiotics based on personal medication history. If the patient doesn't have levofloxacin history, he will be treated with amoxicillin 1000mg bid plus levofloxacin 500mg bid. Otherwise, he will be treated with amoxicillin 1000mg bid and furazolidone 100mg bid.

  • salvage treatment for failed eradicationDrug

    If the patients failed with AST guided eradication therapy or empirical therapy, patients will be treated with another 14-day bismuth-based quadruple therapy. The regimen contains rabeprazole 20mg bid, colloidal bismuth pectin 200mg bid, tetracycline 500mg qid and furazolidone 100mg bid.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Eradication rates in 2 groups

    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. The PP analysis is limited to patients who take over 80% of the study medications and complete follow-up.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The rate of improving dyspepsia symptoms after Helicobacter pylori eradication.

    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.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing susceptibility guided therapy, personal medication history guided therapy and salvage treatment for failed eradication in people with Helicobacter Pylori Infection, run by Shandong University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Xiuli Zuo, MD,PhD (15588818685 ext. 053188369277, zuoxiuli@sina.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Eradication rates in 2 groups (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 May 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
