H. Pylori Treatment Between Modified Quadruple Regimen and Tailored Therapy

February 22, 2022 updated by: Jun-Hyung Cho, Soonchunhyang University Hospital

Comparison of Helicobacter Pylori Treatment Between Modified Quadruple Therapy and Tailored Eradication Based on the Presence of Clarithromycin Resistance

The rate of H. pylori resistance to antimicrobial agents including clarithromycin (CAM) has increased worldwide. Eradication failure using triple therapy is strongly associated with CAM-resistant H. pylori. The tailored therapy is defined as a targeted H. pylori eradication which emphasizes on predicting individual drug responses before treatment.

Dual priming oligonucleotide (DPO)-based multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was developed to diagnose H. pylori infection and identify CAM resistance. The use of DPO-PCR has increased the tailored H. pylori eradication rate in Korea. If DPO-PCR testing is not available, a 14-day modified bismuth-containing quadruple regimen is recommended as a first-line H. pylori eradication. However, there is no comparison study between modified quadruple therapy and tailored eradication based on the presence of CAM resistance using DPO-PCR.
