Helicobacter Pylori Infection

Keywords

Helicobacter pylori, rescue therapy, minocycline, tetracycline

Brief summary

The efficacy of bismuth-containing quadruple therapy with minocycline and metronidazole was not inferior to classical bismuth quadruple therapy for refractory H. pylori infection, though also accompanied with high occurrence of adverse events (55.4%). Optimization of minocycline-based regimen to achieve high eradication rate with fewer adverse events is imperative. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and tolerability of a 14-day bismuth-containing quadruple rescue therapy with different dosage of minocycline and metronidazole compared to classical bismuth quadruple therapy.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Helicobacter pylori eradication rateSix weeks after completion of therapySix 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

MeasureTime frameDescription
Rate of adverse effectsWithin 7 days after completion of therapyThe 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). In addition, blood test were messured to access function of liver and kidney.
Compliance rateWithin 7 days after completion of therapyCompliance was defined as poor when they had taken less than 80% of the total medication
