A Multi-center Study for Individual Treatment of Helicobacter Pylori Infection

February 23, 2016 updated by: Youming Li, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University
Since the discovery of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), many studies have been carried out with the goal of improving H. pylori eradication and therapies have changed from single-antibiotic treatments to the current multi-antibiotic treatments. However, the eradication rate of H. pylori is still less than 80%. The reasons for this low eradication rate are likely to be multi-factorial, including the reduced activity of antimicrobial drugs, poor patient compliance or micro-environment in stomach. In this study, to obtain the higher eradication of H. pylori and discover the different mechanism between the current infection and refractory infection of H. pylori, it is necessary to perform a prevalence survey for eradication of H. pylori based on the results from isolation of H. pylori strains, antibiotic susceptibility testing, CYP2C19 gene polymorphism, drug resistance gene sequencing and 16SrRNA sequencing.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Successful treatment
The patients with H. pylori infection have successful treatment based on the results from antibiotic susceptibility testing,CYP2C19 gene polymorphism,drug resistance gene sequencing and 16SrRNA sequencing.
The biological intervention focused on the results from the antibiotic susceptibility testing. All patients should used the their susceptibility antibiotics according to antibiotic susceptibility testing of H. pylori. Considering the safety of drug usage, priority antibiotic selection was as follow: Amoxicillin > Clarithromycin > Levofloxacin >Tetracycline > Furazolidone > Metronidazole.
PPI selection should based on the CYP2C19 gene polymorphism of patients. Patients have different metabolizers, such as poor metabolizers (PM), extensive metabolizers (EM) and intermediate metabolizer (IM). Different metabolism of patients should select different PPI or different doses of PPI. For IM and PM, in this study, patients selected the standard dose of Omeprazole. For EM, in this study, patients selected the Esomeprazole with increasing doses 50%-100%.
Different micro-environment in stomach may influence the antibiotic absorption. In this study, some patients could select probiotic as adjuvant therapy according to their micro-environment in stomach by 16SrRNA sequencing.
Experimental: refractory infection
The patients with H. pylori infection have failed treatment based on the results from antibiotic susceptibility testing,CYP2C19 gene polymorphism,drug resistance gene sequencing and 16SrRNA sequencing.
The biological intervention focused on the results from the antibiotic susceptibility testing. All patients should used the their susceptibility antibiotics according to antibiotic susceptibility testing of H. pylori. Considering the safety of drug usage, priority antibiotic selection was as follow: Amoxicillin > Clarithromycin > Levofloxacin >Tetracycline > Furazolidone > Metronidazole.
