Condition(s) targeted: Helicobacter Pylori Infection
Intervention: Levofloxacin (Drug); Amoxicillin (Drug); Lansoprazole (Drug)
Phase: Phase 3
Status: Completed

Summary
Today, although the triple treatment with clarithromycin accepted as the primary treatment
for Helicobacter pylori infection eradication is well tolerated, the eradication has been
decreased to 65 %. However, the eradication resulting from TRIOL treatment with levofloxacin
is expected to be 75 % or higher. If the target results can be reached, it will be concluded
that TRIOL treatment with levofloxacin will be an alternative to the triple treatment with
clarithromycin as the primary treatment.
Clinical Details
Official title: A Monocentric, Open-label, Efficacy and Safety Evaluation Study of the Triple Therapy of 500 mg Levofloxacin, 1000 mg Amoxicillin and 30 mg Lansoprazole on Helicobacter Pylori Eradication in 60 Patients Infected With H. Pylori
