The Effects of High-dose Dual Therapy Combined With Probiotics on Gut Microbiota for Helicobacter Pylori Rescue Treatment: A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Trial

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of High-dose Dual therapy combined with probiotics on the gut microbiota for Helicobacter pylori rescue treatment.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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

The combination of vonoprazan (VPZ) and amoxicillin (VA therapy) has been shown to achieve notable eradication rates for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). Patients who receive this treatment are prone to adverse reactions, such as diarrhea, abdominal distention. We plan to combine probiotic with the above treatment. However, it is not clear what changes in gut microbiota and metabolism may result from this therapy.

Fecal metabolites is tested by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Analysis.
day 0, day 44 (or 58), day 104 (or 118)
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth
Time Frame: day 0, day 44 (or 58), day 104 (or 118)

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
