This was a prospective, randomized, open-label trial. Patients without previous Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy were randomly assigned to either a high-dose dual therapy (HDDT) group or a traditional clarithromycin/amoxicillin triple therapy (CATT) group. In the HDDT group, patients took rabeprazole, 20 mg, four times per day for three days and then dual therapy with rabeprazole, 20 mg, and amoxicillin, 500 mg, four times per day during the patient’s breakfast, lunch, dinner, and bedtime for 14 days. In the CATT group, patients received conventional triple therapy for 14 days (rabeprazole 20 mg, amoxicillin 1 g, and clarithromycin 500 mg twice per day). In the HDDT group, the success rates of H. pylori eradication were 91.7% (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.78–0.97) by intention-to-treat (ITT) and 94.3% (95% CI: 0.79–0.99) by per-protocol (PP) analysis. In the CATT group, the eradication rates were 77.1% (95% CI: 0.61–0.87) by ITT and 84.3% (95% CI: 0.66–0.94) by PP analysis. The study completion rates were 97.2% (35/36) in the HDDT group. Three-day high-dose rabeprazole induction treatment before dual therapy and a schedule of taking the drug at meal and bed times could achieve an acceptable H. pylori eradication rate (>90%) and good drug compliance.

<b><i>Backgrounds/Aims:</i></b> Vonoprazan (VPZ) is the first clinically available potassium competitive acid blocker. This class of agents provides faster and more potent acid inhibition than proton pump inhibitors. Most strains of <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> are sensitive to amoxicillin. We hypothesized that dual therapy with VPZ and amoxicillin would provide the sufficient eradication rate for <i>H. pylori</i> infection. To evaluate this, we compared the eradication rate by the dual VPZ/amoxicillin therapy with that by the standard triple VPZ/amoxicillin/clarithromycin therapy. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Non-inferiority of the eradication rate of <i>H. pylori</i> by the dual therapy with VPZ 20 mg twice daily (bid) and amoxicillin 500 mg 3 times daily (tid) for 1 week to that by the triple therapy with VPZ 20 mg bid, amoxicillin 750 mg bid and clarithromycin 200 mg bid for 1 week was retrospectively studied. Propensity score matching was performed to improve comparability between 2 regimen groups. Successful eradication was diagnosed using the [<sup>13</sup>C]-urea breath test at 1–2 months after the end of eradication therapy. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The intention-to-treat analysis demonstrated that the eradication rate by the dual therapy (92.9%; 95% CI 82.7–98.0%, 52/56) was not inferior to that of the triple therapy (91.9%; 95% CI 80.4–97.0%, 51/56; OR 1.275, 95% CI 0.324–5.017%, <i>p</i> = 0.728). There were no statistically significant differences in incidences of adverse events between 2 regimens. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> VPZ-based dual therapy (VPZ 20 mg bid and amoxicillin 500 mg tid for 1 week) provides an acceptable eradication rate of <i>H. pylori</i> infection without the need for second antimicrobial agents, such as clarithromycin.

Eradication of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is an effective strategy for preventing various gastrointestinal diseases such as gastric cancer and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. However, the eradication success rate is decreasing because of a recent increase in drug-resistant strains of H. pylori. Here, we evaluated the success rate of eradication therapy with vonoprazan (VPZ), a new potassium-competitive acid blocker, against drug-resistant H. pylori. In total, 793 patients who received H. pylori eradication therapy were investigated retrospectively. All underwent esomeprazole (EPZ)-based triple therapy (n = 386) or VPZ-based triple therapy (n = 407) for first-, second- and third-line H. pylori eradication for 7 days. The overall success rates of first- and third-line H. pylori eradication were significantly higher for VPZ-based triple therapy (88.4% and 93.0%, respectively, per protocol (PP)) than for EPZ-based triple therapy (69.5% and 56.5%, respectively, PP). Moreover, the success rates of first- and third-line eradication of clarithromycin (CLR)- and sitafloxacin (STFX)-resistant H. pylori were significantly higher for VPZ-based triple therapy (72.0% and 91.7%, PP) than for EPZ-based triple therapy (38.5% and 20.0%, PP). In addition, patient age did not affect the eradication rate of VPZ-based first-line therapy, whereas the success rate of EPZ-based therapy was lower in patients under 65 years of age. Our results clearly demonstrated that VPZ-based therapy achieved a higher eradication rate even against CLR- and STFX-resistant H. pylori, and that patient age did not affect the eradication rate of VPZ-based therapy. These findings suggest that dual therapy using VPZ and amoxicillin may be sufficient for standard H. pylori eradication, and may thus also be beneficial for avoiding antibiotic misuse.

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of apple cider vinegar plus PPI-based triple therapy on eradication of Helicobacter Pylori (H.pylori) infection.Materials and Methods: 116 patients with H. pylori infection were included in this randomized clinical trial. Patients in control group (n=59) received amoxicillin, clarithromycin, and pantaprazole twice daily. Patients in study group (57 patients) received the same regimen plus 30 mL of apple cider vinegar twice daily. The duration of therapy for study and control were 10 and 14 days respectively. Four weeks after the completion of therapy, Urea breath test was performed to assess the success of H.pylori infection eradication.Results: 86% of patients in control group in comparison to 88% in apple cider vinegar group responded to eradication therapy (P=0.41).Conclusion: Addition of apple cider vinegar to proton pomp inhibitor (PPI)-based triple therapy may decrease the duration of H. pylori treatment but it was not statistically significant. Thus, our results showed no efficacy of apple cider vinegar in H. pylory eradication treatment.

Introduction: Helicobacter pylori eradication remains a problematic issue. We are in an urgent need for finding a treatment regimen that achieves eradication at a low cost and less side effect. Recent published results showing a high rate of resistance and with clarithromycin-based treatment regimens. The aim of the study was to compare moxifloxacin therapy and classic clarithromycin triple therapy in H. pylori eradication. Methods: This was a pilot study that enrolled 60 patients with helicobacter pylori associated gastritis. Diagnosis was done by assessment of H. pylori Ag in the stool. The patients were randomly assigned to receive either moxifloxacin based therapy (Group A), or clarithromycin based therapy (Group B) for two weeks. We stopped the treatment for another two weeks then reevaluation for cure was done. Results: 90 % of patients had negative H. pylori Ag in the stool after 2 weeks of stoppage of the treatment in group A versus 66.7 % in Group B. None of the patients in both groups had major side effects. Conclusion: Moxifloxacin-based therapy showed higher eradication power and less resistance when compared to clarithromycin triple therapy.

BACKGROUND: Optimal anti-Helicobacter pylori treatment has not yet been established. AIM: To evaluate H. pylori eradication using tetracycline and furazolidone versus amoxicillin and azithromycin in lansoprazole based triple therapy in northeastern of Brazil. PATIENTS AND METHODS: One hundred and four patients with H. pylori infection, as determined by rapid urease testing and histology, were randomly assigned to receive either: lansoprazole (30 mg q.d.), tetracycline (500 mg q.i.d.), and furazolidone (200 mg t.i.d.) for 7 days (LTF; n = 52); or lansoprazole (30 mg b.i.d.) and amoxicillin (1 g b.i.d.) for 1 week, plus azithromycin (500 mg q.d.) for the first 3 days (LAAz; n = 52). H. pylori eradication was assessed 3 months following completion of therapy by means of rapid urease testing, histology and a 14C-urea breath test. RESULTS: H. pylori eradication was achieved in 46 of 52 (88.4%, 95% CI: 77.5%-95.1%) patients in LTF group and in 14 of 52 (26.9%, 95% CI: 16.2%-40,1%) patients in LAAz group. On a per-protocol analysis, eradication rates were 91.8% (95% CI: 81.4%-97.3%) and 28.5% (95% CI: 17.2%-42.3%), respectively in LTF and LAAz groups. CONCLUSION: The LAAz regimen yielded unacceptably low eradication rates. On the other hand, the LTF scheme represents a suitable alternative for H. pylori eradication.

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.
