Helicobacter Rescue Therapy With Berberine Plus Amoxicillin Quadruple Therapy Versus Tetracycline Plus Furazolidone Quadruple Therapy

August 28, 2019 updated by: Yongquan Shi, Xijing Hospital of Digestive Diseases

Rescue Therapy for Helicobacter Pylori Eradication: A Randomized and Non-inferiority Trail of Berberine Plus Amoxicillin Quadruple Therapy Versus Tetracycline Plus Furazolidone Quadruple Therapy

This study aims at evaluating efficacy and safety of berberine- amoxicillin containing quadruple therapy(berberine, amoxicillin, esomeprazole and bismuth) versus tetracycline-furazolidone quadruple therapy (tetracycline, furazolidone, esomeprazole and bismuth) in H. pylori rescue therapy. It is hypothesized that berberine-amoxicillin containing quadruple therapy is non-inferior to tetracycline-furazolidone quadruple therapy. Patients with confirmed failure of H. pylori eradication will be randomized to one of the treatments described above. At week 6 follow-up visits, a urea breath test，rapid urease test or helicobacter pylori stool antigen test will be performed to confirm eradication.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Detailed Description:

The study will include three phases: screening, treatment and follow-up. Screening: this phase will last a maximum of 14 days and subjects eligibility will be evaluated after signing informed consent. One of urea breath test，rapid urease test or helicobacter pylori stool antigen test will be performed in addition to the baseline routine evaluations.

Treatment: Subjects are randomly assigned to treatment and will be treated for 14 days. A randomization visit will take place on Day 0 and an end-of-treatment visit will take place between day 13 and 17.

Follow-up: includes one visits. Approximately 28 days after the end of treatment. Eradication of H. Pylori will be confirmed by one of urea breath test，rapid urease test or helicobacter pylori stool antigen test。

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Helicobacter pylori eradication
Time Frame: 28 days after treatment
The primary end point of this study is H.pylori eradication,established by negative urea breath test，rapid urease test or helicobacter pylori stool antigen test 28 days after the end of treatment.
28 days after treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
adverse events
Time Frame: 14 days of treatment, and 28 days after treatment
Participants with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability.The common side effects of the study include headache, dizziness, skin rash, other gastrointestinal disorders, pyrexia, cough and back pain.
14 days of treatment, and 28 days after treatment
symptoms effective rates
Time Frame: 14 days of treatment, and 28 days after treatment

Evaluation effective rate of symptoms 2 weeks of treatment and 4 weeks after the end of treatment.

Symptom effective rate =（total score before treatment - total score after treatment）/total score before treatment x 100%.

Total score = frequency * severity.

Frequency score is calculated by all the frequency of heartburn, reflux, abdominal pain, and flatulence.

Severity is accumulated by the degree of symptoms described above, which is divided to 4 degree as 0 presenting none, and 3 presenting most severe
14 days of treatment, and 28 days after treatment
