Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy of a 14-day concomitant therapy for the third-line treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection, and whether it is safe while maintaining an ideal eradication rates.

Read the detailed description

Helicobacter pylori infects half of the world's population. H.pylori eradication is an effective approach to reduce the risk of developing gastric cancer. However, eradication rates of first-line therapy decreased over years due to the rapidly increasing antibiotic resistance of H. pylori worldwide. An ideal rescue therapeutic regimen to cure refractory H.pylori infection is currently warranted. Few published paper evaluated the efficacy of 14-day furazolidone containing concomitant therapy in the third line treatment. This study aims to propose a new concomitant therapy for the patients with two or more treatment failure, and then evaluates whether adverse effects are tolerable. .

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Eradication rates

    Both intention to treat(ITT) and per-protocol(PP) analyses will be used for the assessment of the eradication rates of Helicobacter pylori infection. The ITT analysis includes all the patients who take at least one dose of the study medications. The PP analysis is limited to patients who take over 90% of the study medications and complete follow-up.

    Time frame: 6 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. The rate of adverse events happening

    Common adverse events will be measured using a 8-point Likert scale, and patients rate their symptoms from 0 (none) to 8 (severe) during the treatment process.

    Time frame: 6 months

  2. Changes of dyspepsia symptoms after Helicobacter pylori eradication

    A list of dyspepsia symptoms will be recorded. Difference of dyspepsia symptoms before and after the therapy will be compared.

    Time frame: 6 months

  3. The rate of good compliance

    Patients taken over 90% of drugs are considered to have a good compliance.

    Time frame: 6 months
