Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the 14-day susceptibility-guided bismuth quadruple therapy works to treat multiple drug resistant Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in adults. It will also learn about the adverse effects of bismuth quadruple therapy. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does 14-day susceptibility-guided bismuth quadruple therapy higher the eradication rate?
* What medical problems do participants have when taking 14-day susceptibility-guided bismuth quadruple? Researchers will record 14-day susceptibility-guided bismuth quadruple to see if 14-day susceptibility-guided bismuth quadruple works to treat multiple drug resistant H. pylori.

Participants will:

* Take susceptibility-guided bismuth quadruple every day for 14 days
* Visit the clinic once 4-6 weeks for checkups and tests
* Keep a diary of their symptoms during taking susceptibility-guided bismuth quadruple

Detailed Description

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

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is the major culprit of dyspeptic symptoms, peptic ulcer disease, gastric adenocarcinoma, and gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma.

The antibiotic resistance of H. pylori infection is an emerging issue. Moreover, amoxicillin-resistant H. pylori strains increased recently. The amoxicillin resistance rates were 9% in Asia and up to 39% in South America.

Susceptibility-guided therapy is superior to empiric therapy in 2nd-line therapy. After twice eradication failure, H. pylori culture for susceptibility test is strongly recommended, which guide clinician to choose appropriate susceptibility-based therapy. The multiple drug resistant rates may be higher in patients who fail two or more eradication therapy; thus, susceptibility-guided therapy is currently the consensus recommendation for 3rd-line H. pylori eradication. Bismuth quadruple therapy could overcome either clarithromycin or metronidazole resistant strains. Several evidences of clinical randomized-controlled trials demonstrated that adding bismuth as the first line therapeutic regimen can capture additional 30%-40% successful eradication rate for the resistant strain, further contributing to the overall eradication rate.

Accordingly, the aim of our study was to validate the susceptibility-guided bismuth quadruple therapy in patients with multiple drug resistant H. pylori infection in terms of efficacy and side effects.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Bismuth-based susceptibility-guided treatment

Participants who have triple- or quadruple-drug resistant H. pylori infection are enrolled. Participants receive one of the four regimens based on susceptibility test.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Bismuth-based susceptibility-guided treatment

Intervention Type DRUG

The investigators design four regimes for H. pylori eradication and participants receive one of the regimens based on susceptibility test. The four regimens are PBAT for those with both amoxicillin and tetracycline susceptible H. pylori; PBAM for those with amoxicillin susceptible but tetracycline resistant H. pylori; PBMT for those with amoxicillin resistant but tetracycline susceptible H. pylori; PBMR for those with both amoxicillin and tetracycline resistant H. pylori. A is amoxicillin (1000 mg thrice daily), B is colloidal bismuth subcitrate (120 mg thrice daily), M is metronidazole (500 mg thrice daily), P is a proton pump inhibitor, i.e., esomeprazole (40 mg twice daily), R is rifabutin (150 mg twice daily), and T is tetracycline (500 mg thrice daily). The treatment duration is 14 days for all regimens.
