Study summary

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of high-dose dual therapy compared with furazolidone-based quadruple therapy as a rescue treatment for helicobacter pylori infection.

Read the detailed description

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is common worldwide and is strongly associated with peptic ulcer and gastric cancer. The eradication rate of H. pylori treatment is limited in the recent years although standard first-line therapy is used. There is a growing antibiotic resistance due to antibiotic consumption for other infections. The failure of first-line therapy for H. pylori can significantly limit the efficacy of the subsequent rescue therapies.

H. pylori resistance to amoxicillin (AMO), both primary and acquired, have been reported to be uncommon. The bactericidal effect of AMO against H. pylori is pH- and time- dependent with a sustaining higher intragastric pH. Thus, the therapy consisting of high-dose PPI and AMO may have advantage over the currently recommended furazolidone-based quadruple therapy.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 5, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
