Study summary

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.

    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 researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Helicobacter pylori eradication rate

    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).

    Time frame: Six weeks after completion of therapy

Secondary outcomes

  1. Rate of adverse effects

    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)

    Time frame: Within 7 days after completion of therapy

  2. Compliance rate

    Compliance was defined as poor when they had taken less than 80% of the total medication.

    Time frame: Within 7 days after completion of therapy
