BACKGROUND: Triple therapy for one week with omeprazole, clarithromycin and metronidazole (OCM) is accepted worldwide as a first line therapy forHelicobacter pylorieradication. It is unclear whether omeprazole needs to be given once or twice daily.OBJECTIVES: To assess the efficacy and safety of these regimens in a single-centre, Canadian practice.METHODS: Histologically provenH pylori-positive patients were treated for seven days with clarithromycin 250 mg bid and metronidazole 500 mg bid, and randomly allocated to omeprazole 20 mg either once or twice daily in this open, cohort study. Endoscopy with histology (two antrum and two body biopsies, Giemsa stain) was done four weeks or longer after the pills were completed to assessH pylorieradication.RESULTS: Whether omeprazole was given once or twice daily, eradication was high and the same in both arms. All-patients-treated eradication was 85% (39 of 46 in the omeprazole once daily group and 41 of 48 in the omeprazole twice daily group) and intent-to-treat eradication was 80% (39 of 49 in the omeprazole once daily group and 41 of 51 in the omeprazole twice daily group). Side effects were frequently seen, suffered by 65% to 69% of patients treated. However, these were mild and compliance was high, with 94% of patients taking all of their pills. Mild side effects included loose stools, taste disturbance, nausea, headache and upper or lower gastrointestinal gas. Only one patient (1%) from the omeprazole once daily arm stopped taking metronidazole due to excessive perspiring.CONCLUSIONS: In this community practice, OCM triple therapy was effective whether omeprazole was given once or twice daily. For those with financial constraint, omeprazole 20 mg once daily can be considered. The regimens were well tolerated without serious adverse events.

Objective. To assess efficacy and safety of 14-day triple nifuratel-based therapy compared to 14-day standard triple therapy in adult patients with symptomatic H. pylori infection. Materials and Methods. A total of 70 patients with dyspepsia and microbiologically confirmed H. pylori infection were enrolled into the open-label, randomized, comparative clinical trial. The study group (n = 35) received a 14-day triple nifuratel-based therapy: esomeprazole (20 mg BID), nifuratel (400 mg BID) and amoxicillin (1000 mg BID). The comparator group (n = 35) received 14-day conventional clarithromycinbased triple therapy: esomeprazole (20 mg BID), clarithromycin (500 mg BID) and amoxicillin (1000 mg BID). Eradication of H. pylori was assessed using stool antigen test. Results. Eradication rates for 14-day nifuratel-based triple therapy and 14-day clarithromycin-based triple therapy in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population were 82.9% and 74.3% (p = 0.561), respectively. In the per-protocol (PP) population, eradication rates were 90.6% and 89.7% (p = 1.00), respectively. Adverse events were reported in 17.1% of patients in the study group and 34.3% of patients in the comparator group (p > 0.05). Conclusions. The 14-day triple nifuratel-based therapy has demonstrated a high H. pylori eradication rate (above 90%). Nifuratel triple therapy may be considered as an alternative to clarithromycin-based triple therapy for patients with a history of the prior macrolide exposure or macrolide intolerance.

Aim. Evaluation of the efficacy and safety of quadrupletherapy without bismuth (concomitant therapy) in patients with Helicobacter pylori - associated gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer in the framework of a comparative research in the population of patients in Russia. Materials and methods. A prospective randomized trial was conducted, which included 210 patients with H. pylori - associated gastric/duodenal ulcer without complications. During the process of randomization, the patients were divided into three equal groups (n=70) depending on the prescribed 10-day scheme of eradication therapy (ET): the first group received the classic triple scheme (Omeprazole 20 mg 2 times a day, Amoxicillin 1000 mg 2 times a day and Clarithromycin 500 mg 2 times a day); the second group received quadruple therapy with bismuth drugs (Omeprazole 20 mg 2 times a day, Tetracycline 500 mg 4 times a day, Metronidazole 500 mg 3 times a day, Bismuth subcitrate potassium 120 mg 4 times a day); the third group received quadruple therapy without bismuth - concomitant therapy (Omeprazole 20 mg 2 times a day, Amoxicillin 1000 mg 2 times a day, Clarithromycin 500 mg 2 times a day and Metronidazole 500 mg 2 times a day). Diagnostics of H. pylori infection during screening and control of eradication was carried out via the fast urease biopsy sample test and urea breath test system. Control of the effectiveness of ET of the microorganism was carried out not earlier than 4 weeks after the end of the treatment. During the course of therapy, the frequency of development of side effects was assessed using a special questionnaire. Results and discussion. The effectiveness of triple therapy was 72.8% (ITT; 95% CI of 62.17-83.54) and 78,4% (PP; 95% CI 68.19-88.72); quadruple therapy with the preparation of bismuth - 80.0% (ITT; 95% CI 70.39-89.6) and 84,8% (PP; 95% CI, 75.96-93.73); quadruple therapy without bismuth - concomitant therapy - 84.2% (ITT; 95% CI 75.54-93.02) and 92.1% (PP; 95% CI 85.43-98.94). Quadruple therapy without bismuth was reliably more effective than the classical triple therapy in the PP selection (p=0.044883). Statistical analysis showed a tendency to poorer effectiveness of ET in patients who had previously used antibiotic therapy (OR 0.4317; 95% CI 0.1776-1.049), and in individuals with a rapid metabolism genotype - CYP2C19*1/*1 (OR 0.12; 95% CI 0.005848-2.4624). The frequency of development of side effects during the use of triple therapy was 18.5% (95% CI of 9.23-27.91), when using quadruple therapy with bismuth - 20.0% (95% CI 10.39-29.6), and with the use of quadruple therapy without bismuth - concomitant therapy - 24.2% (95% CI 13.98-34.58). Conclusion. This prospective randomized study demonstrated the high efficiency of quadruple therapy without bismuth (concomitant therapy) in the framework of eradication of H. pylori infection in Russia.

Aim. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of the synbioticBifidobacterium lactisB94 plus inulin addition to the standard triple therapy onHelicobacter pylori (H. pylori)infection eradication rates.Methods. Children aged 6–16 years who had biopsy provenH. pyloriinfection were randomly classified into two groups. The first group received the standard triple therapy consisting of amoxicillin + clarithromycin + omeprazole. The second group was treated with the standard triple therapy andBifidobacterium lactisB94 (5 × 109 CFU/dose) plus inulin (900 mg) for 14 days, concurrently. Eradication was determined by14C-urea breath test 4–6 weeks after therapy discontinuation.Results. From a total of 69H. pyloriinfected children (F/M = 36/33; mean ± SD = 11.2 ± 3.0 years), eradication was achieved in 20/34 participants in the standard therapy group and 27/35 participants in the synbiotic group. The eradication rates were not significantly different between the standard therapy and the synbiotic groups [intent-to-treat, 58.8% and 77.1%, resp.,p= 0.16; per-protocol, 64.5% and 81.8%, resp.,p= 0.19]. There was no difference between the groups in terms of symptom relief (p= 0.193). The reported side effects were ignorable.Conclusion. Considering the eradication rates, synbiotic addition to therapy showed no superiority over the standard triple therapy conducted alone. This trial is registered withNCT03165253.

The most commonly used regimen forHelicobacter pyloritherapy at present is twice-daily proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-based triple therapy. Bismuth-based therapy is the next most common treatment used by gastroenterologists. When a PPI is combined with bismuth-based triple therapy (quadruple therapy), eradication rates are increased as compared with the triple therapy alone. Three separate randomized trials from three continents that compare quadruple therapy and PPIbased triple therapy revealed remarkably similar results. Eradication rates with PPI-based triple therapy and quadruple therapy were not significantly different. The eradication rates with quadruple therapy were 3% to 6% higher than PPI triple therapy, indicating that quadruple therapy should be no less effective than PPI triple therapy. Furthermore, these two therapies had similar rates of compliance and adverse events.The major potential benefit of the quadruple therapy relates to antibiotic resistance. In patients with clarithromycin resistance, PPIbased triple therapy, but not quadruple therapy, had a significantly lower eradication rate. However, due to its ability to largely overcome metronidazole resistance, quadruple therapy had little if any decrement in eradication rates compared with PPI triple therapy in patients with metronidazole-resistantH pylori. Therefore, quadruple therapy can be considered a first line therapy forH pylori.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of rescue therapy using rifabutin, amoxicillin and a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) in the eradication ofHelicobacter pyloriin patients who have failed at least one course of PPI-based triple therapy.METHODS: The present study was a single-centre case series of 16 consecutive patients who had received at least one course of standard eradication therapy. Pretreatment evaluation included endoscopy with biopsies for histology and culture forH pyloriinfection. Treatment consisted of a one-week regimen containing a PPI twice daily, amoxicillin (A) 1 g twice daily and rifabutin (R) 300 mg once daily (PPI-AR). Post-treatment evaluation consisted of a repeat endoscopy with biopsy for histology and culture, or a validated urea breath test at least four weeks after treatment was completed. Pretreatment antibiotic susceptibility to metronidazole, clarithromycin and A was evaluated using a validated epsilometer test.RESULTS: Of the 16 patients, four had previously received one course of triple therapy, 10 had received two courses and two had received more than two courses. The overall success rate of PPI-AR was 63% (10 of 16). Resistance to A was 0% (0 of 13), metronidazole 77% (10 of 13), clarithromycin 70% (seven of 10), and both metronidazole and clarithromycin 60% (six of 10). There was no correlation between resistance patterns and cure rate.CONCLUSIONS: An R-containing regimen such as PPI-AR is a viable option as rescue therapy forH pyloriinfection.

Introduction: During the past two decades, eradication rates with triple therapy for Helicobacter (H.) pylori eradication have decreased. The decline of effectiveness of the triple therapy have led to investigations to achieve more effective and safe therapeutic strategies. Sequential, concomitant and hybrid therapeutic regimens are new therapies that have been introduced over the past two decades. The purpose of this study was to compare levofloxacin-based sequential therapy versus classic triple therapy in H. pylori eradication in a randomized clinical trial. Methods: All eligible cases were divided into two groups using a randomized block method. The first group (classic group) was treated with triple therapy; patients received omeprazole, amoxicillin and clarithromycin for 14 days. The second group received the levofloxacin-based sequential (lev-seq) regimen; the patients were treated with omeprazole and amoxicillin for the first 7 days and then with omeprazole, levofloxacin and metronidazole for the latter 7 days. In this clinical trial, 200 patients with H. pylori infection were enrolled. Ultimately, 192 patients completed the study. Of these, 95 patients (46 males and 49 females) were treated with triple therapy (classic group) and 97 patients (46 males and 51 females) were treated with the lev-seq regimen. The average age in the classic group and lev-seq groups were 41.4±12.4 years and 40.2±11.8 years, respectively. Results: The levofloxacin based sequential regimen was more effective than triple therapy regimen. It is recommended that the lev-seq regimen be used as the first-line therapy, especially in areas with high levels of resistance to clarithromycin (over 20%). Conclusion: Further studies with large numbers of samples are required to be conducted in different parts of the country for further evaluation of efficacy of this regimen.

ABSTRACT Nemonoxacin, a novel nonfluorinated quinolone, exhibits potent in vitro and in vivo activities against community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) pathogens, including multidrug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae. Patients with mild to moderate CAP (n = 265) were randomized to receive oral nemonoxacin (750 mg or 500 mg) or levofloxacin (500 mg) once daily for 7 days. Clinical responses were determined at the test-of-cure visit in intent-to-treat (ITT), clinical per protocol (PPc), evaluable-ITT, and evaluable-PPc populations. The clinical cure rates for 750 mg nemonoxacin, 500 mg nemonoxacin, and levofloxacin were 89.9%, 87.0%, and 91.1%, respectively, in the evaluable-ITT population; 91.7%, 87.7%, and 90.3%, respectively, in the evaluable-PPc population; 82.6%, 75.3%, and 80.0%, respectively, in the ITT population; and 83.5%, 78.0%, and 82.3%, respectively, in the PPc population. Noninferiority to levofloxacin was demonstrated in both the 750-mg and 500-mg nemonoxacin groups for the evaluable-ITT and evaluable-PPc populations, and also in the 750 mg nemonoxacin group for the ITT and PPc populations. Overall bacteriological success rates were high for all treatment groups in the evaluable-bacteriological ITT population (90.2% in the 750 mg nemonoxacin group, 84.8% in the 500 mg nemonoxacin group, and 92.0% in the levofloxacin group). All three treatments were well tolerated, and no drug-related serious adverse events were observed. Overall, oral nemonoxacin (both 750 mg and 500 mg) administered for 7 days resulted in high clinical and bacteriological success rates in CAP patients. Further, good tolerability and excellent activity against common causative pathogens were demonstrated. Nemonoxacin (750 mg and 500 mg) once daily is as effective and safe as levofloxacin (500 mg) once daily for the treatment of CAP.

Objective. The eradication rate ofHelicobacter pylori(H. pylori) following standard triple therapy has declined over the past few decades. This study has determined whether high dose dual therapy (PPI and amoxicillin) is adequate for eradicatingH. pyloriin Korea.Methods. This was an open-labeled study ofH. pyloriinfected treatment-naive patients. Subjects received dual therapy for 14 days: ilaprazole 40 mg tablets given twice a day and amoxicillin 750 mg tablets given 4 times a day. At the end of the therapy, the subjects visited the clinic to confirm compliance and monitor for any side effects. Subjects visited again after 4–6 weeks to confirmH. pyloristatus through a urea breath test.Results.The cure rate ofH. pyloriwas 79.3% (23 of 29) (95% confidence interval: 61.6–90.2) in the intention-to-treat analysis and 82.1% (23 of 28) in the per-protocol analysis. Compliance rates were high (96.6%) and side effects were minimal and tolerable.Conclusion.A high dose of ilaprazole + amoxicillin was ineffective as the first-line therapy for eradicatingH. pyloriin Korea. Future studies should focus on intragastric pH measurements and assess amoxicillin resistance.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the rate ofHelicobacter pylorieradication following bismuth-based triple therapy with colloidal bismuth subcitrate, tetracycline hydrochloride and metronidazole.PATIENTS AND METHODS: One hundred and eleven patients were randomly assigned, in a two to one ratio, to colloidal bismuth subcitrate 120 mg qid plus metronidazole 250 mg qid plus tetracycline 500 mg qid (Gastrostat), or matching placebo tablets and capsules for 14 days. Presence or absence ofH pyloriwas documented by histology at entry and at least 28 days after treatment. Patients had dyspeptic symptoms with or without a history of peptic ulcer. Patients with any previous attempt(s) at eradication ofH pylori, who used bismuth, antibiotics, H2 receptor antagonists or proton pump inhibitors in the previous four weeks were excluded.RESULTS: Fifty-three of 59 (90%) patients on bismuth-based treatment and only one of 35 (3%) on placebo achieved eradication by per protocol analysis. Fifty-three of 65 (82%) patients on bismuth-based treatment achieved eradication, while only two of 34 (5%) achieved eradication on placebo by intention to treat analysis. Eradication rates for bismuth-based treatment across sites ranged from 83% to 100%. Only two patients in the bismuth-based treatment group (4%) and one in the placebo group (3%) discontinued treatment because of adverse events.CONCLUSIONS: Colloidal bismuth subcitrate plus metronidazole plus tetracycline, given in the doses studied for 14 days, is safe and highly effective againstH pyloriinfection and would be appropriate as a first-line therapy for eradication.
