Susceptibility-Guided Sequential Therapy for Helicobacter Pylori Infection

December 11, 2023 updated by: Liaocheng People's Hospital

Susceptibility-Guided Sequential Therapy Versus Empirical Therapy for Helicobacter Pylori Infection: a Randomised Controlled Trial

The main objective of this trial is to assess whether a sequential therapy strategy based on molecular antibiotic susceptibility testing (including clarithromycin and fluoroquinolone) for H. pylori infection will improve the eradication rate compared to an empirical therapy.

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

This trial is designed as a prospective, randomised, open-label, active-controlled and single-centre study. For empirical therapy group(control group), Bismuth quadruple therapy will be an empirical first-line therapy, and high dose dual (proton-pump inhibitor + amoxicillin) treatment will be for rescue therapy if the first-line empirical treat failure. For the susceptibility-guided sequential therapy group, regimens were selected based on H. pylori susceptibility to clarithromycin and levofloxacin. The primary outcome is the first-line eradication rate in both groups, and the overall (including first- and rescue therapies) H. pylori eradication rates in both groups is one of the secondary outcomes. The eradication rates of H. pylori will be analysed by intention-to-treat analysis, modified intention-to-treat analysis and per-protocol analysis.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
