Condition(s) targeted: Optimization of Second Line Treatment Protocol for H Pylori Eradication

Intervention: Lansoprazole , Tab Amoxycillin , Tab Clarithromycin ,Tab Tinidazole (Drug); Lansoprazole, Bismuth Subsalicylate, Metronidazole, Tetracycline (Drug)

Phase: Phase 3

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Soroka University Medical Center

Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of sequential therapy, i. e. 5 days of PPI + amoxicillin followed by 5 days of PPI + two antimicrobial drugs( clarithromycin and tinidazole ) versus quadruple drug regimen( i. e.-14 days of PPI+ bismuth + metronidazole + tetracycline ) as second line treatment of H. pylori .

Clinical Details

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: The eradication rate after second line treatment based on sequential therapy comparative to eradication rate after second line therapy based on quadriple regimen

Secondary outcome:

The secondary end points: Adverse effects of sequential and quadruple treatment

compliance with treatment

Detailed description: a total of 101 patients were randomized to 2 groups : 50 in sequential group and 51 patients in quadruple group . mean age was 43 in both groups. In sequential therapy group 42 patients(84%) completed the treatment , 39 patients returned to follow up . In quadruple group only 33 patients (64. 7%) completed the treatment , 29 of them returned to follow up. Compliance to the treatment was significant better in sequential group comparative to quadruple .Sides effects connected to gastro-intestinal tract were reported in 27(65. 9%) of quadruple group patients and in 19(43. 2%)of sequential group. The H pylori was eradicated in 23 of 39 patients in sequential group(59%), and in 19 of the 29 patients in quadruple group(65. 5%). no comorbidities like smoking, diabetes or other influenced the efficacy of eradication. Sequential therapy showed the same eradication rate as second line treatment of H pylori as quadruple one, but was associated with better compliance and less adverse effects. Both treatments protocols failed to show an appropriate eradication rate in population of Southern Israel .
