Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is designed to evaluate the clinical outcome of second line Bismuth containing quadruple therapy with supplementary probiotic for Helicobacter pylori eradication

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The role of Helicobacter pylori infection in the development of peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer have been studied extensively. Eradication of H. pylori decreases the incidence of peptic ulcer and also gastric cancer. First line therapies for H. pylori eradication with PPI and antibiotic combinations considering local clarithromycin resistant rate reaching successful rates above 90%. Bismuth containing quadruple therapy (BQT), as a major choice of second line therapy, is widely prescribed but with considerable gastrointestinal side effects including diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, bloating and abdominal pain. Probiotics supplementation is defined as the adding of non-pathologic living microorgnisms. Numerous recent studies including meta-analyses and several randomized control trials revealed supplementary probiotics may improve the adverse effects and increase the successful rate of eradication therapy. Therefore, this study aim to assess the clinical impact of probiotics on Bismuth therapy and eradication of H. pylori.

It's a multicentered, randomized double blind placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the clinical outcome of second line Bismuth containing quadruple therapy with supplementary probiotic for Helicobacter pylori eradication. During the study, expected 200 patients failing in first-line Bismuth therapy would be enrolled in the trial. 200 patients are divided into two groups: one group receive probiotic for treatment period and the other group receive placebo. The treatment period is designed for 56 days: Bismuth containing quadruple therapy is performed from day 1\~10 and probiotic (or placebo) is taken from day 1\~56.

There are 5 visits for subjects to follow: day 0, day 10, day 56, 1 year and 3 years(optional). Esophagogastroduodenal scope for the pathology, H. pylori culture, susceptibility testing, genotypic resistance and virulence factors before D0. 13C-Urea breath tests are used to check Helicobacter pylori eradication on day 56, 1 year and 3 year. In addition to blood samples for general tests, stool samples would be collected on every visit to analyze gut microbiota.
