Tailored Therapy for Helicobacter Pylori Treatment in Patients With Penicillin Allergy

December 9, 2019 updated by: Hong Lu, MD, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine

Antibiotic Susceptibility-based Tailored Therapy for Helicobacter Pylori Treatment in Patients With Penicillin Allergy: a Prospective Clinical Trial

Increasing drug resistance presents a significant challenge to the efficacies of common empiric eradication regimens for Helicobacter pylori treatment in the mainland of China. Tailored therapy may be the best choice to achieve good efficacy, especially in patients with penicillin allergy. Few studies had evaluated the patients with penicillin allergy.This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of antibiotic sensitivity-based tailored therapy for Helicobacter pylori treatment in the patients with penicillin allergy.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Tailored Therapy
Medications will be adjusted according to clarithromycin,metronidazole and levofloxacin sensitivity. All drugs will be prescribed for 14 days.(1) When three of them or clarithromycin and metronidazole are sensitive, esomeprazole 20mg bid, clarithromycin 0.5g bid and metronidazole 0.4g bid will be prescribed. (2) When two of them (levofloxacin and clarithromycin or metronidazole) are sensitive, esomeprazole 20mg bid, levofloxacin 0.5g qd plus clarithromycin 0.5g bid or metronidazole 0.4g bid will be prescribed. (3) When one of them (clarithromycin or levofloxacin) is sensitive, esomeprazole 20mg bid, bismuth Potassium Citrate 600mg bid, metronidazole 0.4g qid plus clarithromycin 0.5g bid or levofloxacin 0.5g qd will be prescribed.(4) When only metronidazole or none of them is sensitive, esomeprazole 20mg bid, bismuth Potassium Citrate 600mg bid, metronidazole 0.4g qid plus tetracycline 0.4g qid will be prescribed.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Helicobacter pylori eradication rate
Time Frame: Six weeks after completion of therapy
Six 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).
Six weeks after completion of therapy

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Rate of adverse effects
Time Frame: Within 7 days after completion of therapy
The 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)
Within 7 days after completion of therapy
Compliance rate
Time Frame: Within 7 days after completion of therapy
Compliance was defined as poor when they had taken less than 80% of the total medication.
Within 7 days after completion of therapy
