Brief Summary

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

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 14-day quadruple therapy based on fecal molecular antimicrobial susceptibility tests for the first-line eradication of H. pylori infection, thus, providing more evidence to inform the value of fecal antimicrobial susceptibility tests in the first-line treatment of H. pylori infection.

Detailed Description

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

The eradication rate of H. pylori is decreasing year by year due to the occurrence of bacterial resistance, especially clarithromycin, one of the most widely-used antimicrobials against H. pylori. Understanding antibiotic resistance before treatment may be the main determinant of the successful eradication of H. pylori. Nevertheless, due to the invasive examination of sampling, the economy-benefit ratio, and the harsh cultivation conditions, traditional antimicrobial susceptibility test is rarely used before first-line eradication treatment in the real world. As an alternative, faster and simpler molecular methods applied to fecal samples obviate the need for endoscopy and provide the possibility to popularize the antimicrobial susceptibility tests catering to initial treatment. This study aims to explore the efficacy, safety, and economic benefits of the first-line therapy for H. pylori guided by fecal antimicrobial susceptibility tests.

Antimicrobial susceptibility tests-based BQT

Fecal molecular biology antimicrobial susceptibility tests will be performed before the treatment. The susceptibility of clarithromycin will be evaluated. The treatment regimen will be chosen according to the results of the antimicrobial susceptibility tests as follows: clarithromycin-sensitive: rabeprazole 10mg bid, amoxicillin 1g bid, clarithromycin 500mg bid, colloidal bismuth 200mg bid for 14 days; clarithromycin-resistant: rabeprazole 10mg bid, amoxicillin 1g bid, furazolidone 100mg bid, colloidal bismuth 200mg bid for 14 days.
