van den Brink G, Koggel LM, Hendriks JJ, de Boer MG, Siersema PD, Numans ME. Treatment failure of Helicobacter pylori in primary care: a retrospective cohort study. BJGP Open 2024:BJGPO.2023.0252. [PMID: 38438197 DOI: 10.3399/bjgpo.2023.0252] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2023] [Revised: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 03/06/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Owing to increasing antibiotic resistance, the worldwide efficacy of Helicobacter pylori (HP) eradication treatment has decreased. AIM To determine antimicrobial resistance of HP in primary care. DESIGN & SETTING Retrospective cohort study using real-world routine healthcare data from 80 general practices in the Netherlands. METHOD Patients with International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC) codes for gastric symptoms or Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) codes for acid inhibition in the period 2010-2020 were selected. Main outcomes were antimicrobial resistance of HP, defined as the prescription of a second eradication treatment within 12 months, and clinical remission of gastric symptoms, defined as no usage of acid inhibition 1 year following eradication therapy. RESULTS We identified 138 455 patients with gastric symptoms and/or acid inhibition use (mean age 57 years [standard deviation 18.2 years], 43% male). A total of 5224 (4%) patients received an HP eradication treatment. A second treatment was prescribed to 416 (8%) of those patients. From these, 380 patients received amoxicillin-clarithromycin, 16 amoxicillin-metronidazole, and 11 clarithromycin-metronidazole as first regimen and were considered antimicrobial resistant. We observed a 0.8% increment per year of patients requiring a second eradication treatment (P = 0.003, 95% confidence interval = 0.33 to 1.22). After successful eradication, 2329/4808 (48%) patients used acid inhibition compared with 355/416 (85%) patients following treatment failure (P<0.001). CONCLUSION Antimicrobial treatment is not successful in almost one-tenth of HP infections in primary care after a first treatment containing clarithromycin and/or metronidazole. Although the treatment failure rate is not as high as reported in secondary care, the increasing trend is concerning and may require revision of the current guidelines.

Comprehensive insights on treatment modalities with conventional and herbal drugs for the treatment of duodenal ulcers. NAUNYN-SCHMIEDEBERG'S ARCHIVES OF PHARMACOLOGY 2024:10.1007/s00210-024-03178-5. [PMID: 38837070 DOI: 10.1007/s00210-024-03178-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024]
Abstract
Areas of the body accessible to gastric secretions, such as the stomach and duodenum, are most commonly damaged by circumscribed lesions of the upper gastrointestinal tract mucosa. Peptic ulcer disease is the term for this illness (PUD). About 80% of peptic ulcers are duodenal ulcers, with stomach ulcers accounting for the remaining 20%. Duodenal ulcers are linked to the two primary results about Helicobacter pylori infection and COX inhibitor users. Additional causes might include drinking, smoking, stress, and coffee consumption. The indications and symptoms of a duodenal ulcer depend on the patient's age and the lesion's location. For duodenal ulcers, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the usual course of treatment. This comprehensive study included an in-depth literature search in the literature and methods section using electronic databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. The search method included publications published from the inception of the relevant database to the present. Inclusion criteria included studies investigating different treatment options for duodenal ulcer disease, including traditional pharmacotherapy and naturopathic treatments. Data mining includes information on treatment techniques, treatment outcomes, and possible synergies between conventional and herbal treatments. In addition, this review critically examines the available information on the effectiveness, safety, and possible side effects of different treatments. The inclusion of conventional and herbal treatments is intended to provide a comprehensive overview of the many treatment options available for duodenal ulcer disease. A more comprehensive and personalized treatment plan can be achieved by incorporating dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, and, if necessary, herbal therapies to complement other treatments normally.

Int J Antimicrob Agents 2024; 63:107159. [PMID: 38554984 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijantimicag.2024.107159] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2023] [Revised: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 03/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Resistance of Helicobacter pylori to many antibiotics, which lowers the efficacy of eradication therapy, is increasingly prevalent. High-dose proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-amoxicillin dual therapy (HDDT) has been used for H. pylori eradication for years, and resistance to amoxicillin is relatively rare. Although many studies have compared the eradication rate of HDDT with that of guideline therapies, the reported efficacy of HDDT varies greatly and is inconsistent. AIMS This study investigated the eradication rate and adverse effects of HDDT compared with the guidelines at the time of the study. METHODS Several open public databases, including Cochrane, EMBASE, PubMed, and MEDLINE, were searched. The results of the current literature on the eradication and adverse event rates of HDDT compared with the latest recommended first-line therapies were analysed. Notably, 14 out of the 16 included studies were conducted in Asian regions. RESULTS The eradication rate of HDDT was lower but not significantly different from those of control therapies (odds ratio [OR] = 0.92, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.67-1.26) in the intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis. A similar trend was observed in the per-protocol (PP) analysis (OR = 0.88, 95% CI = 0.47-1.63). Notably, the adverse effect risk in HDDT was significantly lower than in other therapies (I2 = 67.75%, OR = 0.42, 95% CI = 0.33-0.54, P = 0.00004). When the eradication rate of the control group was lower than 81%, HDDT was significantly better than control therapies (OR = 2.44, 95% CI = 1.23-4.84). CONCLUSION HDDT used four times a day for 14 days showed better efficacy and safety than the guideline treatments for H. pylori infection in areas with high antimicrobial resistance.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), the most prevalent chronic infection globally, is the major cause of relevant diseases such as gastric cancer, leading to high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Several studies have focused on optimize H. pylori eradication treatment through combination therapies and antibiotic resistance. However, the adverse events profile and its impact, as a primary outcome, remains underexplored.The aim of this review was to summarize the available data on the safety of the most common regimens for H. pylori eradication and its impact on the compliance. AREAS COVERED This review encompassed the published evidence from the years 2008 to 2023 regarding both the safety and compliance for most common H. pylori eradication regimens. The main sources for this review comprised MEDLINE, PubMed, and Cochrane electronic databases. Furthermore, it included a safety analysis of unpublished data from the European Registry on H. pylori management (Hp-EuReg). EXPERT OPINION Poor compliance is correlated with significantly lower cure rates, and this is a unique modifiable source of H. pylori treatment failure. Eradication treatments have become complex, involving multiple drugs and dosing intervals. Thus, patient education is crucial; doctors must explain to the patient about potential temporary and most often harmless side effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dyspepsia is a common gastrointestinal illness sometimes associated with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. Screening and eradicating the bacterium reduces the risk of infection-related complications. The aim of this study was to determine the magnitude of H. pylori infection among dyspeptic patients and the effectiveness of triple eradication therapy at hospitals in Hawassa city, Ethiopia. RESULTS The prevalence of H. pylori infection was 48.5%. The H. pylori eradication rate using first-line triple therapy was 83.8%. Eradication therapy failure is associated with previous exposure compared to no exposure (AOR: 4.8, 95% CI: 1.37-10.97), a regimen for 10-days compared to 14-days (AOR: 4.05, 95% CI: 1.42-11.55), and self-reported side effects compared to no report (AOR: 2.5, 95% CI: 1.12-5.97). Based on Morisky-eight scale 230 (79.0%) patients were adherent to their triple therapy. Participants with no reports of adverse effects showed increased odds of adherence to triple therapy compared to those who had reports (AOR = 2.45, 95% CI: 1.29-4.62). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that about half of adult dyspeptic patients were infected with H. pylori, and moderate eradication was observed. Factors such as previous history of eradication therapy, duration of the eradication regimen, and perception of potential adverse effects are associated with eradication rate and should be considered during the initiation of eradication therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is the most prevalent type of bacterial infection. Current guidelines from different regions of the world neglect specific African conditions and requirements. The African Helicobacter and Microbiota Study Group (AHMSG), founded in 2022, aimed to create an Africa-specific consensus report reflecting Africa-specific issues. SUMMARY Eighteen experts from nine African countries and two European delegates supported by nine African collaborators from eight other countries prepared statements on the most important African issues in four working groups: (1) epidemiology, (2) diagnosis, (3) indications and prevention, and (4) treatment. Limited resources, restricted access to medical systems, and underdeveloped diagnostic facilities differ from those of other regions. The results of the individual working groups were presented for the final consensus voting, which included all board members. KEY MESSAGES There is a need for further studies on H. pylori prevalence in Africa, with diagnosis hinged on specific African situation. Treatment of H. pylori in the African setting should be based on accessibility and reimbursement, while indication and prevention should be defined in specific African countries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Management of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection requires co-treatment with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and the use of antibiotics to achieve successful eradication. AIM To evaluate the role of dosage of PPIs and the duration of therapy in the effectiveness of H. pylori eradication treatments based on the 'European Registry on Helicobacter pylori management' (Hp-EuReg). METHODS Hp-EuReg is a multicentre, prospective, non-interventionist, international registry on the routine clinical practice of H. pylori management by European gastroenterologists. All infected adult patients were systematically registered from 2013 to 2022. RESULTS Overall, 36,579 patients from five countries with more than 1000 patients were analysed. Optimal (≥90%) first-line-modified intention-to-treat effectiveness was achieved with the following treatments: (1) 14-day therapies with clarithromycin-amoxicillin-bismuth and metronidazole-tetracycline-bismuth, both independently of the PPI dose prescribed; (2) All 10-day (except 10-day standard triple therapy) and 14-day therapies with high-dose PPIs; and (3) 10-day quadruple therapies with clarithromycin-amoxicillin-bismuth, metronidazole-tetracycline-bismuth, and clarithromycin-amoxicillin-metronidazole (sequential), all with standard-dose PPIs. In first-line treatment, optimal effectiveness was obtained with high-dose PPIs in all 14-day treatments, in 10- and 14-day bismuth quadruple therapies and in 10-day sequential with standard-dose PPIs. Optimal second-line effectiveness was achieved with (1) metronidazole-tetracycline-bismuth quadruple therapy for 14- and 10 days with standard and high-dose PPIs, respectively; and (2) levofloxacin-amoxicillin triple therapy for 14 days with high-dose PPIs. None of the 7-day therapies in both treatment lines achieved optimal effectiveness. CONCLUSIONS We recommend, in first-line treatment, the use of high-dose PPIs in 14-day triple therapy and in 10-or 14-day quadruple concomitant therapy in first-line treatment, while standard-dose PPIs would be sufficient in 10-day bismuth quadruple therapies. On the other hand, in second-line treatment, high-dose PPIs would be more beneficial in 14-day triple therapy with levofloxacin and amoxicillin or in 10-day bismuth quadruple therapy either as a three-in-one single capsule or in the traditional scheme.

Abstract
As the rate of discovery of drug-resistant Helicobacter pylori cases increases worldwide, the relevant societies have updated their guidelines for primary eradication regimens. A promising strategy against drug-resistant H. pylori is tailored therapy based on the results of an antibiotic susceptibility test; however, it is difficult to apply this strategy to all cases. Although culture-based antibiotic susceptibility tests can assess resistance to any antimicrobial agent, their greatest disadvantage is the time required to draw a conclusion. In contrast, molecular-based methods, such as polymerase chain reaction, can rapidly determine the presence of resistance, although a single test can only test for one type of antimicrobial agent. Additionally, the limited availability of facilities for molecular-based methods has hindered their widespread use. Therefore, low-cost, minimally invasive, simple, and effective primary regimens are needed. Several studies have compared the efficacy of the latest primary eradication regimens against that of tailored therapies, and their results have shaped guidelines. This article reviews the latest research on empirical and tailored treatments for H. pylori infections. Evidence for the superiority of tailored therapy over empirical therapy is still limited and varies by region and treatment regimen. A network meta-analysis comparing different empirical treatment regimens showed that vonoprazan triple therapy provides a superior eradication effect. Recently, favorable results towards vonoprazan dual therapy have been reported, as it reached eradication levels similar to those of vonoprazan triple therapy. Both vonoprazan dual therapy and tailored therapy based on antibiotic susceptibility tests could contribute to future treatment strategies.

Abstract
Background The eradication rate of Helicobacter pylori infection with empirical therapy has decreased due to increased drug resistance. The latest guidelines recommend genotypic resistance-guided therapy, but its clinical efficacy remains unclear. Objectives The purpose of our study was to evaluate whether tailored therapy based on genotypic resistance is superior to empirical therapy for H. pylori infection. Design A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing tailored therapy based on genotypic resistance with empirical therapy was performed. Sources and methods We retrieved relevant studies from PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. The primary outcome was H. pylori eradication rate and the adverse events (AEs) was the secondary outcome. A random-effect model was applied to compare pooled risk ratios (RRs) with related 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results A total of 12 qualified RCTs containing 3940 patients were identified in our systematic review and meta-analysis. The pooled eradication rates of tailored therapy based on the detection of genotypic resistance were consistently higher than those in the empirical treatment group, with no statistical significance. In triple therapy, the eradication rate was significantly higher in the tailored group than in the empirical group by intention-to-treat analysis (ITT) and per-protocol analysis (PP) analysis (p < 0.0001, RR: 1.20; 95% CI: 1.12-1.29; p < 0.0001, RR: 1.20; 95% CI: 1.15-1.25). In quadruple therapy, the eradication rate was higher in the empirical group (p = 0.001, RR: 0.93; 95% CI: 0.89-0.97; p = 0.009, RR: 0.95; 95% CI: 0.92-0.99). And this result was true for both bismuth quadruple therapy (BQT) and non-BQT. Regarding total AEs, the pooled rate was 34% in the tailored group and 37% in the empirical group, and no difference between the two groups was found (p = 0.17, RR: 0.88; 95% CI: 0.74-1.06). Conclusion In conclusion, tailored therapy based on molecular methods may offer better efficacy than empirical triple therapy, but it may not be superior to empirical quadruple therapy in eradicating H. pylori infection. Larger and more individualized RCTs are needed to aid clinical decision-making. Registration PROSPERO CRD42023408688.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Iatrogenic factors play an important role in H. pylori eradication failure, whereas it can be easily missed. Therefore, we aimed to investigate and analyze these related iatrogenic factors of H. pylori eradication failure. METHODS A total of 508 patients who experienced H. pylori eradication failure were included in this study conducted from December 2019 to February 2022. All the patients filled out a questionnaire including demographic characteristics, duration of treatment, regimens, dosage, and time intervals in rescue treatment. RESULTS In the first-line treatment, 89 patients (17.5%, 89/508) used at least one antibiotic with high resistance rate in triple therapy and 57 patients (11.2%, 57/508) used two antibiotics with high resistance rates or other not recommended antibiotics in quadruple therapy. In the rescue therapy, 85 regimens were repeatedly used as salvage regimens in 58 patients (22.6%, 58/257) and 178 regimens containing antibiotics with high resistance rates were repeatedly used in 85 patients (33.1%, 85/257). CONCLUSION To decrease the risk of H. pylori eradication failure, iatrogenic factors need to gain more attention. Clinicians should enhance their education and training to standardize the treatment regimens, better manage the H. pylori infection, and improve the eradication rate eventually.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Helicobacter pylori-positive ulcers are treated with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) + two antibiotics with/without bismuth. The objective of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetic interaction of the novel PPI anaprazole, amoxicillin and clarithromycin with/without bismuth. METHODS This single-centre, randomised, open-label phase 1 pharmacokinetic study included healthy Chinese male participants, comprising two cohorts (cohort 1, 4 × 4 crossover design; cohort 2, 2 × 2 crossover design). In cohort 1, 24 participants received four treatment cycles with a different treatment in each cycle; the washout period between cycles was 9 days. Participants were randomly assigned to one of the following four treatment sequences (1:1:1:1): anaprazole sodium enteric-coated tablet 20 mg monotherapy, amoxicillin 1000 mg monotherapy, clarithromycin 500 mg monotherapy, and a three-drug combination (anaprazole 20 mg, amoxicillin 1000 mg and clarithromycin 500 mg). During each treatment cycle, study drugs were administered twice daily for four consecutive days and once in the morning on the fifth day. Cohort 2 participants were administered a single dose of the three-drug combination and a single dose of a four-drug combination (three-drug combination + bismuth 0.6 g) with a washout period of 11 ± 2 days between treatments. Blood samples were collected for pharmacokinetic analysis. RESULTS Twenty-nine of 32 enrolled participants (cohort 1, n = 24; cohort 2, n = 8) completed the study. There were no significant differences in exposure or time to reach maximum concentration (Tmax) between each single drug or the three-drug combination (cohort 1) or between the three- and four-drug combinations (cohort 1) for any of the drugs/metabolites. CONCLUSIONS Dose adjustments for individual drugs are not necessary with combined dosing of anaprazole, amoxicillin, clarithromycin and bismuth.

Abstract
Aim: bring to the attention of practitioners indications for anti-Helicobacter therapy, methods and procedure for diagnostics and eradication therapy of Н. pylori infection.Key points. Chronic gastritis caused by Н. pylori infection, including asymptomatic persons, may be considered as an indication for eradication therapy of Н. pylori as etiological therapy and opportunistic screening for gastric cancer prevention. Indications, for obligatory anti-Helicobacter therapy include peptic ulcer, gastric MALT lymphoma, early gastric cancer (EGC) with endoscopic resection. H. pylori primary diagnostics methods include 13C-urea breath test, H. pylori stool antigen lab test, rapid urease test and serological method. The serological method cannot be used after anti-Helicobacter therapy.In Russia H. pylori strains' resistance to clarithromycin does not exceed 15 % in most regional studies. The first line therapy for Н. pylori infection eradication is the standard triple therapy including a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), clarithromycin and amoxicillin, enhanced with bismuthate tripotassium dicitrate. A classic four-component therapy based on bismuthate tripotassium dicitrate or quadrotherapy without bismuth drug products which includes PPI, amoxicillin, clarithromycin and metronidazole, may be used as alternative to the first line eradication therapy. The standard triple therapy may be prescribed for 14 days only in those regions, where it has been proven to be effective. Quadrotherapy with bismuthate tripotassium dicitrate is also used as main second line therapy in case of standard triple therapy, bismuth enhanced standard triple therapy or combined therapy failure. Another second line therapy includes PPI, levofloxacin and amoxicillin, to which a bismuth-containing drug product may be added. The third line therapy is selected individually based on previously used treatment settings.Conclusion. In each case of H. pylori infection the decision for eradication therapy should be made, which is especially relevant as eradication of H. pylori has been recognized as an effective measure for the prevention of gastric cancer.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is a major cause of duodenal ulcers, gastric ulcers, and gastric cancer. However, the optimal duration for H. pylori eradication therapy remains controversial. Most studies have mainly focused on triple therapy, and there is insufficient research on bismuth-containing quadruple therapy. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical effect of the 10-day bismuth-containing quadruple treatment regimen with the 14-day regime in eradicating H. pylori. We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library for randomized controlled trials published in English until May 2022 according to the eligibility criteria. Summary risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for eradication rates, adverse effects, and compliance were calculated for included studies. Four studies, involving 1173 patients, were eligible for inclusion. The eradication rate was similar in the 10-day treatment group and the 14-day treatment group in the intention-to-treat analysis (RR 0.97, 95% CI 0.93 to 1.01). Meanwhile, the incidence of adverse effects was lower in patients who received 10 days of treatment than in those who received 14 days of treatment and patients' compliance was almost the same between two groups. Compared to the 14-day bismuth-containing quadruple regimens, 10-day regimens had similar efficacy and lower incidence of adverse effects. Therefore, the 10-day regimen is safe and well-tolerated and should be recommended for H. pylori infection.

Abstract
Patients who have failed two or more attempts to eradicate Helicobacter pylori are commonly referred to as refractory. Although the incidence of refractory Helicobacter pylori infection is only 10–20%, with the increasing rate of antibiotic resistance in various regions, the treatment of refractory Helicobacter pylori infection has gradually become a difficult problem faced by clinicians. When choosing a rescue therapy, the physician must consider numerous factors. A longer treatment duration, higher doses of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), or the use of potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB) may increase the efficacy of triple therapy or bismuth quadruple therapy. Rescue treatment based on bismuth quadruple therapy usually achieves better results. At the same time, treatment based on drug susceptibility tests or genotypic resistance is recommended where available. Of course, appropriate empiric treatment can also be selected according to local drug resistance, a patient’s previous medication history and compliance. It is the best choice if it can improve the success rate of the first treatment and reduce the occurrence of refractory Helicobacter pylori infection. This review aims to summarize the articles related to refractory Helicobacter pylori in recent years and to explore a better remedial treatment plan for clinicians.

[PMID: 35831212 DOI: 10.1016/j.dld.2022.06.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2022] [Revised: 06/25/2022] [Accepted: 06/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Helicobacter pylori infection is very common and affects more than one-third of adults in Italy. Helicobacter pylori causes several gastro-duodenal diseases, such as gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric malignancy, and extra-gastric diseases. The eradication of the bacteria is becoming complex to achieve due to increasing antimicrobial resistance. To address clinical questions related to the diagnosis and treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection, three working groups examined the following topics: (1) non-invasive and invasive diagnostic tests, (2) first-line treatment, and (3) rescue therapies for Helicobacter pylori infection. Recommendations are based on the best available evidence to help physicians manage Helicobacter pylori infection in Italy, and have been endorsed by the Italian Society of Gastroenterology and the Italian Society of Digestive Endoscopy.

Moon SG, Lim CH, Kang HJ, Choi A, Kim S, Oh JH. Seven Days of Bismuth-Based Quadruple Therapy Is as Effective for the First-Line Treatment of Clarithromycin-Resistant Confirmed Helicobacter pylori Infection as 14 Days of Bismuth-Based Quadruple Therapy. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11154440. [PMID: 35956057 PMCID: PMC9369116 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11154440] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2022] [Revised: 07/25/2022] [Accepted: 07/28/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Background/Aims: Point mutations in the 23S ribosomal RNA gene have been associated with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) clarithromycin resistance and bismuth-based quadruple therapy (BQT) is one of the options for the treatment of clarithromycin-resistant H. pylori. Current H. pylori treatment guidelines recommend BQT for 10–14 days. This study aims to compare the eradication extents according to 7-day and 14-day BQT treatment for treatment-naïve clarithromycin-resistant confirmed H. pylori infection. Methods: We retrospectively investigated treatment-naïve H. pylori infection cases from March 2019 to December 2020, where patients were treated with BQT. Clarithromycin resistance was identified with a dual-priming oligonucleotide-based multiplex polymerase chain reaction method. We reviewed a total of 126 cases. Fifty-three subjects were treated with a 7-day BQT regimen (7-day group), and 73 subjects were treated with a 14-day BQT regimen (14-day group). We evaluated the total eradication extent of the BQT and compared the eradication extents of the two study groups. Results: Total eradication extent of H. pylori was 83.3% (105/126). The eradication extents of the two groups were as follows: 7-day group (81.1% (43/53)), 14-day group (84.9% (62/73), p = 0.572) by intention-to-treat analysis; 7-day group (95.6% (43/45)), 14-day group (92.5% (62/67), p = 0.518) by per-protocol analysis. The moderate or severe adverse event extents during the eradication were 30.2% (16/53) in the 7-day group and 19.2% (14/73) in the 14-day group (p = 0.152). Conclusions: The 7-day BQT regimen was as effective as the 14-day BQT regimen in the eradication of treatment-naïve clarithromycin-resistant H. pylori infection.

Abstract
Background Bismuth quadruple therapy (BQT) is recommended as empirical first-line therapy because it is not affected by antibiotic resistance. We examined whether past exposure to metronidazole affected BQT outcomes. Methods The records of seven hospitals were searched for patients who received BQT for Helicobacter pylori eradication between 2009 and 2020. The association between past metronidazole exposure and the eradication rate was evaluated. Results This study was a multicenter retrospective study. Around 37,602 people tested for H. pylori infection were identified, and 7,233 received BQT. About 2,802 (38.7%) underwent a 13C-urea breath test to confirm eradication. The BQT efficacy was 86.4% among patients without metronidazole exposure and 72.8% among patients with exposure (p < 0.001). The eradication rate of BQT 14 days in patients with past exposure was higher than that of BQT <14 days (85.5 vs. 66.0%, p = 0.009). Multivariate analysis revealed that past metronidazole exposure [odds ratio (OR) 2.6, 95% CI 1.8–3.7; p < 0.001] and BQT <14 days (OR 1.5, 95% CI 1.2–2.0; p = 0.002) were independent risk factors for eradication failure. Conclusion Past metronidazole exposure significantly lowered the BQT eradication rate. BQT 14 days should be recommended for patients with suspected metronidazole exposure.

Abstract
Aim.The clinical guidelines are intended to supplement specialty decision-making for improved aid quality in patients with gastritis and duodenitis though acknowledging the latest clinical evidence and principles of evidencebased medicine.Key points.Gastritis is an inflammatory disease of stomach mucosa, with a separate definition of acute and chronic gastritis. Chronic gastritis is a cohort of chronic diseases uniting a typical morphology of persistent inflammatory infiltration, impaired cellular renewal with emergent intestinal metaplasia, atrophy and epithelial dysplasia of gastric mucosa. Oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGDS) or high-resolution OGDS with magnified or non-magnified virtual chromoendoscopy, including targeted biopsy for atrophy and intestinal metaplasia grading and neoplasia detection, are recommended to verify gastritis and duodenitis, precancer states and/or gastric mucosal changes. All chronic gastritis patients positive for H. рylori should undergo eradication therapy as aetiological and subsidiary for gastric cancer prevention. Chronic gastritis patients with symptoms of dyspepsia (epigastric pain, burning and congestion, early satiety), also combined with functional dyspepsia, are recommended proton pump inhibitors, prokinetics, rebamipide and bismuth tripotassium dicitrate in symptomatic treatment. With focal restricted intestinal metaplasia, follow-up is not required in most cases, mainly when advanced atrophic gastritis is ruled out in high-quality endoscopy with biopsy. However, a familial history of gastric cancer, incomplete intestinal metaplasia and persistent H. pylori infection render endoscopy monitoring with chromoendoscopy and targeted biopsy desirable once in three years. Patients with advanced atrophic gastritis should have high-quality endoscopy every 3 years, and once in 1–2 years if complicated with a familial history of gastric cancer.Conclusion.The recommendations condense current knowledge on the aetiology and pathogenesis of gastritis and duodenitis, as well as laboratory and instrumental diagnostic techniques, main approaches to aetiological H. pylori eradication and treatment of dyspeptic states.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2021; 8:758771.

Abstract
Background: Endoscopic primary bile reflux is one of the main diagnostic criteria for bile reflux gastritis (BRG). Presently, the risk factors and prediction models of endoscopic primary bile reflux (EPBR) in gastropathy patients who cannot or will not undergo endoscopy due to contraindications are not clear. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the risk factors of EPBR and to establish and verify a prediction model. Methods: A series of 844 patients (564 subjects with EPBR and 280 control subjects) were retrospectively selected for this study and divided into a training set (n = 591) and a validation set (n = 253) according to the usual ratio of 70:30% for the subsequent internal validation of the logistic regression model for EPBR. Fifteen parameters that might affect the occurrence of EPBR were collected. Subsequently, univariate and stepwise logistic regression analyses were introduced to reveal the risk factors and the multivariate prediction model. An R package was dedicated to the corresponding internal validation of the EPBR model. Results: The univariate analysis showed that gender, age, smoking, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection status, metabolic syndrome (MS), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) use history, and previous medical histories of chronic liver diseases, cholelithiasis, and erosive gastritis were statistically significant between the two groups (P < 0.05). Multivariate regression described that being a male [OR (95%confidence interval (CI)) = 2.29 (1.50–3.50), P < 0.001], age≥45 years old [OR (95% CI) = 4.24 (2.59–6.96), P < 0.001], H. pylori infection status [OR (95% CI) = 2.34 (1.37–4.01), P = 0.002], MS [OR (95% CI) = 3.14 (1.77–5.54), P < 0.001], NSAIDs use history [OR (95% CI) = 1.87 (1.03–3.40), P = 0.04], cholelithiasis history [OR (95% CI) = 3.95 (2.18–7.18), P < 0.001] and erosive gastritis history [OR (95% CI) = 6.77 (3.73–12.29), P < 0.001] were the risk factors for the occurrence of EPBR. Based on the results of these risk factors, an EPBR prediction model with an adequate calibration and excellent discrimination was established [area under the curve (AUC): 0.839, 95% CI = 0.806–0.872]. Conclusions: Being a male, age ≥ 45 years old, H. pylori infection, histories of MS, NSAIDs use, cholelithiasis, and erosive gastritis appear to be the risk factors for EPBR, and our favorable prediction model might be an option for the prediction of EPBR.

Dutta AK, Phull PS. Treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection in the presence of penicillin allergy. World J Gastroenterol 2021; 27:7661-7668.

Abstract
Therapy of Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) requires a combination of antibiotics together with an acid suppressing agent; most treatment regimens include Amoxicillin as one of the antibiotics, which is an important constituent as resistance to it is low. However, allergies to the penicillin group of antibiotics are not uncommon, and treating H.pylori infection in such individuals can be challenging due to the restricted choice of regimens. The aim of this review is to summarise the evidence for therapeutic options in patients with H.pylori infection and penicillin allergy. A literature search was conducted in PubMed for English language publications using the key words ‘Helicobacter’ and ‘treatment’ or ‘therapy‘ and ‘penicillin’ or ‘beta-lactam’ and ‘allergy’ or ‘anaphylaxis’. Eighteen studies were identified that specifically evaluated H.pylori treatment success in penicillin allergic patients. The number of subjects in most of them was low and many were retrospective, uncontrolled, single cohort studies. The most effective option for first-line treatment appears to be Bismuth-based quadruple therapy for 10-14 d. The evidence supports second-line treatment with Levoflaxacin-based triple therapy for 10 d. Patients with persistent H.pylori infection after 2 treatment courses should be considered for testing to confirm penicillin allergy. Further treatment should be guided by the results of H.pylori culture and sensitivity testing.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (Hp) eradication therapy alters gut microbiota, provoking gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms that could be improved by probiotics. The study aim was to assess the effect in Hp patients of a Test fermented milk containing yogurt and Lacticaseibacillus (L. paracasei CNCM I-1518 and I-3689, L. rhamnosus CNCM I-3690) strains on antibiotic associated diarrhea (AAD) (primary aim), GI-symptoms, gut microbiota, and metabolites. A randomised, double-blind, controlled trial was performed on 136 adults under 14-day Hp treatment, receiving the Test or Control product for 28 days. AAD and GI-symptoms were reported and feces analysed for relative and quantitative gut microbiome composition, short chain fatty acids (SCFA), and calprotectin concentrations, and viability of ingested strains. No effect of Test product was observed on AAD or GI-symptoms. Hp treatment induced a significant alteration in bacterial and fungal composition, a decrease of bacterial count and alpha-diversity, an increase of Candida and calprotectin, and a decrease of SCFA concentrations. Following Hp treatment, in the Test as compared to Control group, intra-subject beta-diversity distance from baseline was lower (padj = 0.02), some Enterobacteriaceae, including Escherichia-Shigella (padj = 0.0082) and Klebsiella (padj = 0.013), were less abundant, and concentrations of major SCFA (p = 0.035) and valerate (p = 0.045) were higher. Viable Lacticaseibacillus strains were detected during product consumption in feces. Results suggest that, in patients under Hp treatment, the consumption of a multi-strain fermented milk can induce a modest but significant faster recovery of the microbiota composition (beta-diversity) and of SCFA production and limit the increase of potentially pathogenic bacteria.

Abstract
Context: Goals: To compare the efficacy of standard triple therapy with clarithromycin versus triple therapy with levofloxacin for treatment of Helicobacter pylori-positive infection in a referral hospital in Damascus, Syria. Design: pilot prospective open-label randomized controlled trial. Subjects and Methods: Eighty treatment-naive patients who tested positive for H. pylori gastric infection were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups with randomization ratio of 50/50. Group (A) was treated with clarithromycin (500 mg), amoxicillin (1000 mg), and esomeprazole (20 mg), each twice/day for 14 days, while Group (B) was treated with levofloxacin (500 mg), amoxicillin (1000 mg), and esomeprazole (20 mg), each twice/day for 14 days.[1] After 6 weeks of treatment, all patients underwent endoscopy and biopsy to evaluate H. pylori infection eradication. Results: Forty patients were allocated in each group; 37 patients completed the follow-up in each group. Thirteen patients in Group (A) were cured, with an eradication rate of 35.1% according to per-protocol analysis (PPA) and 32.5% according to intention-to-treat analysis (ITT), while in Group (B), 11 patients were cured, with an eradication rate of 29.7% according to PPA and 27.5% according to ITT with P = 0.80. No serious adverse events reported in both the groups. Conclusions: Clarithromycin is slightly better than levofloxacin in treatment of H. pylori gastric infection, but both regimens show low effectiveness with suboptimal eradication rates in our selected population.

Abstract
Background Current guidelines recommend bismuth-containing quadruple therapy (BQT) and quinolone-containing therapy after failure of first-line Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy. However, the optimum regimen of second-line eradication therapy remains elusive. We conducted a network meta-analysis to compare the relative efficacy of 16 second-line H. pylori eradication regimens. Methods Three major bibliographic databases were reviewed to enrol relevant randomised controlled trials between January 2000 and September 2018. Network meta-analysis was conducted by STATA software and we performed subgroup analysis in countries with high clarithromycin resistance and high levofloxacin resistance, and in patients with documented failure of first-line triple therapy. Results Fifty-four studies totalling 8752 participants who received 16 regimens were eligible for analysis. Compared with a 7-day BQT, use of probiotic add-on therapy during, before, and after second-line antibiotic regimens, quinolone-based sequential therapy for 10–14 days, quinolone-based bismuth quadruple therapy for 10–14 days, bismuth quadruple therapy for 10–14 days, and quinolone-based triple therapy for 10–14 days were significantly superior to the other regimens. Subgroup analysis of countries with high clarithromycin resistance and high levofloxacin resistance revealed that the ranking of second-line eradication regimens was distributed similarly in each group, as well as in patients with failure of first-line triple therapy. Conclusion We conducted a detailed comparison of second-line H. pylori regimens according to different antibiotic resistance rates and the results suggest alternative treatment choices with potential benefits beyond those that could be achieved using salvage therapies recommended by guidelines.

Efficacy of two-week therapy with doxycycline-based quadruple regimen versus levofloxacin concomitant regimen for helicobacter pylori infection: a prospective single-center randomized controlled trial. BMC Infect Dis 2021; 21:642. [PMID: 34218802 PMCID: PMC8254989 DOI: 10.1186/s12879-021-06356-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2021] [Accepted: 06/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Antibiotic-resistance reduces the efficacy of conventional triple therapy for Helicobacter Pylori infections worldwide, which necessitates using various treatment protocols. We used two protocols, doxycycline-based quadruple regimen and concomitant levofloxacin regimen. The aim was to assess the effectiveness of doxycycline-based quadruple regimen for treating Helicobacter Pylori infections compared with levofloxacin concomitant regimen as empirical first-line therapy based on intention-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol analyses (PPA) in Syrian population. SETTINGS AND DESIGN An open-label, randomised, parallel, superiority clinical trial. METHODS We randomly assigned 78 naïve patients who tested positive for Helicobacter Pylori gastric infection, with a 1:1 ratio to (D-group) which received (bismuth subsalicylate 524 mg four times daily, doxycycline 100 mg, tinidazole 500 mg, and esomeprazole 20 mg, each twice per day for 2 weeks), or (L-group) which received (levofloxacin 500 mg daily, tinidazole 500 mg, amoxicillin 1000 mg, and esomeprazole 20 mg each twice per day for two weeks). We confirmed Helicobacter Pylori eradication by stool antigen test 8 weeks after completing the treatment. RESULTS Thirty-nine patients were allocated in each group. In the D-group, 38 patients completed the follow-up, 30 patients were cured. While in the L-group, 39 completed the follow-up, 32patients were cured. According to ITT, the eradication rates were 76.92%, and 82.05%, for the D-group and L-group respectively. Odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was 1.371 [0.454-4.146]. According to PPA, the eradication rates were 78.9%, and 82.05% for the D-group and L-group respectively. The odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was 1.219 [0.394-3.774]. We didn't report serious adverse effects. CONCLUSIONS Levofloxacin concomitant therapy wasn't superior to doxycycline based quadruple therapy. Further researches are required to identify the optimal first-line treatment for Helicobacter-Pylori Infection in the Syrian population. TRIAL REGISTRATION We registered this study as a standard randomized clinical trial ( Clinicaltrial.gov , identifier- NCT04348786 , date:29-January-2020).

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (HP) is a major causative agent of chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer. HP is also engaged in the development of gastric cancer and gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. It is an important pathogenic factor in various other systemic diseases, such as vitamin B12 deficiency, iron deficiency, and idiopathic thrombocytopenia. The current consensus is that unless there is a special reason, eradication therapy should be implemented whenever HP infection is found, and it is ideally successful the first time. International guidelines recommend that under certain conditions, treatment should be personalized based on drug susceptibility testing. However, drug susceptibility testing is often not available because it is expensive, time-consuming, and difficult to obtain living tissue. Each region has separately formulated guidelines or consensuses on empirical therapy. Owing to an increasing drug resistance rate in various places, the eradication rate of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) triple therapy and sequential therapy has been affected. These regimens are rarely used; the PPI triple especially has been abandoned in most areas. Currently, radical treatment regimens for HP involve bismuth-containing quadruple therapy and concomitant therapy. However, quadruple therapy has its own limitations, such as complex drug administration. To improve the effectiveness, safety, and compliance, many clinical studies have proposed useful modified regimens, which mainly include the modified bismuth-containing quadruple regimen, high-dose dual therapy, and vonoprazan-containing regimens. Studies have shown that these emerging regimens have acceptable eradication rates and safety, and are expected to become first-line treatments in empirical therapy. However, the problem of decline in the eradication rate caused by drug resistance has not been fundamentally solved. This review not only summarizes the effectiveness of mainstream regimens in the first-line treatment of HP infection with the currently increasing antibiotic resistance rates, but also summarizes the effectiveness and safety of various emerging treatment regimens.

Abstract
H. pylori is the most common infection in the world and is associated with gastrointestinal and extra-gastrointestinal manifestations, including peptic ulcer disease, gastrointestinal bleeding, and lymphoproliferative disorders. Despite being discovered less than half a century ago, antibiotic resistance, exacerbated by medication non-adherence and inefficacy of proton pump inhibitors, has grown substantially, explaining the rising incidence of refractory H. pylori infection. In this review, we discuss risk factors, treatment options, surveillance and follow-up, as well as emerging therapies for refractory H. pylori.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: The prevalence of H. pylori in Eastern Europe remains quite high; however, there is insufficient data on the eradication regimens and their effectiveness. Therefore, the objective of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic methods and treatment of H. pylori infection as well as their adherence to Maastricht V/Florence consensus during the years 2013–2020 in Lithuania. Materials and Methods: Sub-study of the “European Registry on H. pylori Management” (Hp-EuReg), international multicenter prospective non-interventional registry of the routine clinical practice. Lithuanian data from the years 2013–2020 were analyzed for effectiveness on a modified intention-to-treat (mITT) basis. 2000 adult patients, diagnosed with H. pylori infection, were included. Data were compared to the European Maastricht V guidelines. Results: Triple-therapy was used in 90% of the cases. In 91% of the first-line prescriptions, standard triple therapy (STT) was used. The most common second-line treatment was a combination of PPI, amoxicillin and levofloxacin (PPI+A+L) (47%). The overall effectiveness in 552 cases valid for analysis was 90% by mITT. In first-line treatment, the STT effectiveness was 90% and second-line treatment with PPI+A+L achieved 92% by mITT. Increasing overall H. pylori eradication rates were observed: from 72% in 2013 to more than 90% in 2018–2020, as well as a shift from 7 to 10–14 days treatments duration throughout 2013–2020. Conclusions: In Lithuania, the prescribed eradication regimens for H. pylori were in accordance with the international guidelines but diagnostic methods and treatment duration only partially met Maastricht V/Florence guidelines. The eradication effectiveness was improved progressively during the years 2018–2020, reaching ≥90% cure rates.

Sitafloxacin for Third-Line Helicobacter pylori Eradication: A Systematic Review. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10122722.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Sitafloxacin-based therapy is a potent candidate for third-line Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment. In this systematic review, we summarise current reports with sitafloxacin-based therapy as a third-line treatment. METHODS Clinical studies were systematically searched using PubMed, Cochrane library, Web of Science, and the Igaku-Chuo-Zasshi database. We combined data from clinical studies using a random-effects model and calculated pooled event rates, 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and the pooled odds ratio (OR). RESULTS We included twelve clinical studies in the present systematic review. The mean eradication rate for 7-day regimens of either PPI (proton pump inhibitor) or vonoprazan-sitafloxacin-amoxicillin was 80.6% (95% CI, 75.2-85.0). The vonoprazan-sitafloxacin-amoxicillin regimen was significantly superior to the PPI-sitafloxacin-amoxicillin regimen (pooled OR of successful eradication: 6.00; 95% CI: 2.25-15.98, p < 0.001). The PPI-sitafloxacin-amoxicillin regimen was comparable with PPI-sitafloxacin-metronidazole regimens (pooled OR: 1.06; 95% CI: 0.55-2.07, p = 0.86). CONCLUSIONS Although the 7-day regimen composed of vonoprazan, sitafloxacin, and amoxicillin is a good option as the third-line Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment in Japan, the extension of treatment duration should be considered to further improve the eradication rate. Considering the safety concern of fluoroquinolones, sitafloxcin should be used after confirming drug susceptibility.

Abstract
The treatment of refractory Helicobacter pylori remains challenging in clinical practice. Factors that should be considered in the treatment of refractory H. pylori infection include treatment length, dosage of antibiotics and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), number of drugs, and the selection of appropriate antibiotics. Extending the treatment length of triple therapy and non-bismuth quadruple therapy to 14 days may increase the eradication rate compared with a shorter period (7 or 10 days). The use of a higher dose of PPIs or vonoprazan may also increase the efficacy of triple therapy. Four-drug therapy, including bismuth or non-bismuth quadruple therapies, usually achieve higher eradication rates than triple therapy. The addition of bismuth or metronidazole to levofloxacin-amoxicillin-PPI therapy may also increase the eradication rate. Therefore, four-drug therapies containing a higher dose of PPIs for 14 days are recommended in the third-line treatment setting for refractory H. pylori infection. The selection of appropriate antibiotics may be guided by susceptibility testing or empirically by medication history. Tailored therapy guided by susceptibility testing or genotypic resistance is recommended whenever possible. However, properly designed empirical therapy based on prior medication history (i.e., avoid the reuse of clarithromycin or levofloxacin empirically) is an acceptable alternative to tailored therapy after considering accessibility, cost, and the preference of the patient.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori is the main pathogen responsible for gastric ulcers and a predisposing factor of stomach cancer. Although current treatment is usually successful, it requires high doses and frequent administration. An innovative mucoadhesive system (Mucolast®) loaded with amoxicillin and clarithromycin is proposed to improve the efficacy of treatment against H. pylori. The drug product was optimized based on its viscoelastic properties to obtain long-term stability of the vehicle. The drug release mechanisms were different for both antibiotics based on their solubilization status. A systemic and stomach pharmacokinetic profile was obtained after three different doses were administered to mice, obtaining similar systemic exposure levels but an increase in drug concentration in the stomach. The efficacy results in mice infected with H. pylori also demonstrated the superiority of the antibiotics when administered in Mucolast®, as shown by the bacterial count in stomach tissue and under histopathological and biochemical evaluation. The proposed treatment was efficacious and safe and is presented as a realistic alternative to current treatment options to improve patient compliance and to reduce bacterial resistance.

Abstract
The management of Helicobacter pylori infection in Singapore remains a clinical challenge. Similar to other regions, there has been an increase in antibiotic resistance rates through the years. Nonetheless, over the past two decades, clarithromycin-based triple therapy has continued to be used as the first line treatment option, with an eradication rate exceeding 90%, although the accepted treatment duration must now be lengthened from 1 to 2 weeks to maintain efficacy. Concomitant and sequential therapies did not demonstrate superiority over standard triple therapy. Current empiric second line treatment utilizes either bismuth-based quadruple therapy or levofloxacin-based triple therapy, but outcomes remain less than ideal. Identifying options to further improve treatment success rates is challenging. Strategies being considered include the use of potent acid suppressants, such as vonoprazan, and H. pylori culture and antibiotic susceptibility testing-guided therapy.

Park H, Kim CO, Kim M, Lim Y, Lee WY, Yoon S, Park MS. Pharmacodynamic evaluation of YH4808 for Helicobacter pylori eradication in healthy subjects. Transl Clin Pharmacol 2020; 28:136-146. [PMID: 33062627 PMCID: PMC7533165 DOI: 10.12793/tcp.2020.28.e16] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2020] [Revised: 09/16/2020] [Accepted: 09/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
YH4808 is a novel selective potassium-competitive acid blocker demonstrated to be safe and to have inhibitory effects against gastric acid secretion in previous studies. A randomized, open-label, multiple-dose, 3-treatment, 1-period, parallel design study was conducted to compare the Helicobacter pylori eradication rates and acid suppression capacities of three regimens in 60 healthy subjects with H. pylori-positive, and the potential of YH4808 to replace proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) in standard regimens for H. pylori eradication. Group 1 received YH4808, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin as a novel triple regimen, while Group 2 received YH4808 and amoxicillin only, and Group 3 received esomeprazole, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin, as the standard triple regimen. H. pylori eradication rates were 85.0% for Group 1, 25.0% for Group 2, and 83.3% for Group 3. Relative response rate between Group 1 and 3 was 1.02 (0.50–2.07; 95% CI, χ2 test p = 0.8881). Furthermore, the novel triple regimen, YH4808, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin, stably inhibited acid secretion and maintained a gastric pH greater than 4 or 5 for 24 hours, which was comparable to the pH range in the standard triple regimen. However, the onset times of the YH4808 regimens were earlier than that for the regimens using esomeprazole. There were no differences in the incidences or severity of adverse events among the three groups. Overall, the novel triple regimen was safe and well-tolerated. YH4808 could replace PPIs in standard triple regimens used for H. pylori eradication.

[Comparison of clinical-metabolic efficacy of pre- and probiotics in the conducted optimized protocols of eradication therapy of Helicobacter pylori infection]. TERAPEVT ARKH 2020; 92:64-69. [PMID: 32598700 DOI: 10.26442/00403660.2020.04.000647] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Low patient compliance due to the development of adverse events in the form of antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) is considered as the main reason for the failure of the eradication of optimized anti-Helicobacter therapy regimens. A key mechanism for the development of AAD is to reduce the number and species diversity of bacteria that form butyric acid. AIM The purpose of this study was to study the comparative effect on the clinical effectiveness of eradication therapy (ET) of Helicobacter pylori infection and metabolic changes in the colon microbiota of additional inclusion in the optimized treatment regimen of the combined prebiotic Zakofalk (inulin + butyrate) with probiotics (lacto- and bifidobacteria in an amount of at least 1017 СFU). MATERIALS AND METHODS 120 patients with chronic gastroduodenal diseases and infected H. pylori were еxamined. A comparative analysis of the effect of a combined prebiotic and lacto-bifid-containing probiotics on improving the effectiveness of the optimized ET scheme and improving its tolerability, as well as on the quantitative and qualitative content of short-chain fatty acids (SFA) in feces. The success of eradication was controlled by a 13C urease breath test. RESULTS According to the results of the study in randomized groups of patients, an excellent percentage of eradication (95%) was achieved in patients who performed ET with the addition of the prebiotic Zakofalk. In the same group of patients, there was an increase in the absolute content of SFA and a significant increase in the concentration of butyric acid. In the group of patients who received ET with the addition of probiotics, an acceptable level of eradication was achieved (85.7%), but no changes in SFA were found indicating an increase in the number or activity of the butyrate-producing flora. Patients who performed ET without the addition of pre-probiotics did not achieve the target percentage of successful eradication (83.3%), and a significant quantitative decrease in SFA was found with a significant decrease in the proportion of butyric acid. CONCLUSION The inclusion of Zakofalk in the ET scheme, in comparison with probiotics, significantly increases the probability of successful eradication, more effectively restores the metabolic potential of the microbiota, and prevents the development of AAD.

Abstract
Backgrourd: H. pylori-associated gastric cancer is the first cancer-related death in Bhutan. Effective regimen for H. pylori eradication is essential to reduce risk of developing gastric cancer. Clarithromycin is not widely used in this limited resource country. Aim of this study was to evaluate proper regimen and prevalence of antibiotic resistance pattern for H. pylori eradication in Bhutan. Methods: Five hundred and forty-six patients underwent gastroscopy during GASTROCAMP between October 2014 and April 2015 in Bhutan and 77 patients were enrolled. Four gastric biopsies were obtained for rapid urease test, histopathology, H. pylori culture with Epsilometer test. All H. pylori-positive patients were randomized to receive either 7-day or 14-day of 500 mg amoxicillin four times daily, 500 mg tetracycline four times daily, and 20 mg omeprazole twice daily. Results: Seventy-seven subjects were enrolled (54 females, 23 males, mean age = 45.4 years). Of 77 patients, 52 (67.5%) received 7-day regimen while 25 (32.5%) had 14-day regimen. Prevalence of H. pylori was 38.2%. Antibiotic resistance was 80.0% for metronidazole, 11.1% for levofloxacin and no resistance seen in amoxicillin, tetracycline and clarithromycin. Overall eradication rates of 7-day and 14-day regimens were 51.9% and 80.0%, p = 0.02. Female and age ≥40 years had significantly higher eradication rate when receiving 14-day compared to 7-day regimen (94.1% vs. 45.9%, OR = 18.82; 95% CI 2.26-157.02, p = 0.0007 and 86.7% vs. 50.0%, OR = 6.50; 95% CI 1.25-33.91, p = 0.02, respectively). Conclusions: Fourteen-day regimen might be an acceptable regimen for H. pylori eradication in limited resource area such as Bhutan. Female and age ≥40 years should receive longer duration of treatment. This 14-day regimen could at least reduce the risk of developing H. pylori-associated diseases especially peptic ulcer with complications and gastric cancer which lead to many deaths in Bhutan.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although Helicobacter pylori is a key cause of gastric cancer development, its eradication rate has been decreasing by standard regimens. For successful eradication, duration of treatment has been issued for overcoming antibiotics resistance. We were to compare the eradication rate of 7-day vs. 14-day treatment in first- and second-line regimens. METHODS This study was an open-label randomized controlled trial. A total of 369 H. pylori-infected patients were enrolled and assigned either to 7-day or 14-day proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-based standard triple therapy (STT; PPI-clarithromycin-amoxicillin). Bismuth-containing quadruple therapy was used as second-line therapy. Eradication success was defined as a negative 13C-urea breath test. RESULTS In first-line treatment, eradication rate was 78.5% (106/135) and 78.6% (114/143) in the 7-day and 14-day treatment in per-protocol (PP) analysis (P = 0.805). In intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis, eradication rate was 64.0% (114/178) and 66.0% (126/191), respectively (P = 0.924). There was no significant difference in drug compliance (81.5% vs. 84.3%, P = 0.320). In second-line therapy, eradication rate was not significantly different in both treatments of PP analysis (91.7% [33/36] vs. 100% [45/45], P = 0.084). In the ITT analysis, eradication rate was 79.6% (35/44) and 90.4% (47/52), respectively (P = 0.080). Drug compliances were not significantly different between the two groups (95.5% vs. 98.1%, P = 0.728). CONCLUSION PPI-based STT for H. pylori is not efficient as a first-line therapy both in 7 days and 14 days in Korea. Although bismuth-containing quadruple therapy for 14 days as a second line therapy tend to show higher eradication rate compared to 7-day therapy, this should be elucidated by further larger scaled studies.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori can infect the gastric mucosa and cause chronic inflammation, resulting in various diseases, including gastric cancer. Eradication of H. pylori in all infected subjects is recommended; however, the number of H. pylori strains with antibiotic resistance has increased, and the eradication rate has decreased. Vonoprazan, a potassium-competitive acid blocker, produces a stronger acid-inhibitory effect than proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). The H. pylori eradication rate with vonoprazan was found to be higher than that with PPIs. The H. pylori eradication rate with vonoprazan-based triple therapy (vonoprazan, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin) was approximately 90% and had an incidence of adverse events similar to that of PPIs. We review the current situation of H. pylori eradication in Japan, the first country in which vonoprazan was made available.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of 10-day course of triple therapy versus a 14-day course in the treatment of H.pylori infection in an Indonesian population. Methods: A double-blinded randomized clinical trial was included patients, Indonesian population, with H.pylori infection conducted in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta; Cilincing District General Hospital, Jakarta; and West Nusa Tenggara General Hospital, Mataram, during October 2016 - April 2017. Patients were randomized to be given triple therapy as Rabeprazole 20 mg, Amoxicillin 1,000 mg, and Clarithromycin 500 mg twice daily, for 14 days or 10 days plus 4 days placebo. Eradication was evaluated with UBT at least 4 weeks after completion the therapy. Results: A total of 75 patients (38 in the 14-day group and 37 in the 10-day group) were included to the study. In the intention-to-threat analysis, eradication rate was 67.6% (95% CI. 52.5%-82.6%) for the 10-day group versus 86.8% (95% CI. 76.0%-97.5%) for the 14-day group (p = 0.046), whereas per protocol analysis obtained 73.5% (95% CI. 58.6%-88.3%) for the 10-day versus 91.9% (95% CI. 84.1%-99.6%) in the 14-day group (p = 0.039). Adverse events were not significantly different between the two groups. Conclusion: A 14-day course was more effective than 10-day course of triple therapy as first-line for eradication of H.pylori infection in an Indonesian population.

Abstract
Schistosomiasis is a neglected chronic parasitic disease with a significant lasting morbidity. Currently, praziquantel (PZQ) is the most efficient drug for schistosomiasis worldwide. However, the possibility of the occurrence of resistance to PZQ is increasing. Therefore, there is a vital need to find new antischistosomal drugs or to increase the efficacy of the existing ones. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor which is reported to have antiparasitic properties. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the potential therapeutic effects of omeprazole in experimental Schistosoma mansoni infection either alone or in combination with PZQ. For this aim, 80 laboratory bred mice were divided into 3 groups; uninfected control, infected untreated control, and infected and treated at tenth week P.I. The last group was divided into three subgroups that received either PZQ alone, omeprazole alone, or both drugs. The effectiveness of treatment was assessed by adult worm counts, liver egg count, scanning electron microscopy of adult worms, histopathological, and immunohistochemical (GFAP) examination. There was significant reduction of adult worm counts, liver egg counts, size, diameter of hepatic granulomas, hepatic fibrosis, and GFAP expression in the group that received combined treatment as compared to PZQ group. Moreover, the tegumental changes were more evident in the group that received combined treatment. In conclusion, the administration of omeprazole with PZQ improved the efficacy of PZQ in the treatment of Schistosomiasis mansoni.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) is known as one of the most common infectious pathogens, with high infection and recurrence rates worldwide. The prevalence of H pylori is up to 90% in developing countries, while the annual recurrence rate is much higher than that in developed countries. Recurrence can occur either by recrudescence or reinfection. Compared with reinfection, the time window for recrudescence is generally shorter, followed by the recurrence of H pylori–associated diseases in the short‐term. Many factors are involved in the H pylori reinfection, such as the prevalence of H pylori infection, living conditions and economic development, health conditions and so forth. Previous studies focused less on H pylori recrudescence. Therefore, the influencing factors for H pylori recrudescence needed further exploration. This study reviewed the recrudescence of H pylori infection and its influencing factors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Resistance to commonly used antibiotics against Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is increasing rapidly leading to lower success of traditional triple therapy to eradicate H. pylori infection. So, search for a new regimen as the first-line therapy of H. pylori infection is needed. AIM In this study, we compared the efficacy of 14-day concomitant therapy and 14-day triple therapy for the eradication of H. pylori infection. METHOD In this open-labeled prospective trial, patients with H. pylori infection were randomized to concomitant therapy (pantoprazole 80 mg, amoxicillin 2000 mg, clarithromycin 1000 mg, and metronidazole 1000 mg daily in divided doses) and triple therapy (pantoprazole 80 mg, amoxicillin 2000 mg, and clarithromycin 1000 mg daily in divided doses). Duration of treatment was 14 days. Gastric biopsy was done 10-12 weeks after completion of therapy to confirm H. pylori eradication. RESULT The eradication rate achieved with the concomitant therapy was significantly greater than that obtained with the triple therapy. Per-protocol eradication rates of concomitant and triple therapy were 77% and 58.3% (p = 0.028), respectively. Intention-to-treat eradication rates of concomitant and triple therapy were 70.1% and 49.3% (p = 0.013), respectively. Both the treatment regimens were well tolerated. CONCLUSION Although the rate of eradication of H. pylori infection with concomitant therapy was higher than that with triple therapy, the rate of concomitant therapy was still less than expected.

Abstract
Background/Aims Dual priming oligonucleotide-based multiplex polymerase chain reaction (DPO-based PCR) can detect the presence of clarithromycin resistance without culture. The aim of this study was to investigate the cost-effectiveness of DPO-based PCR for Helicobacter pylori eradication. Methods From 2015 to 2016, medical records of patients who received H. pylori eradication therapy were analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups: tailored group patients who were treated based on DPO-based PCR and empirical group patients. Eradication rate and medical cost, including diagnostic tests, eradication regimens, and 13C-urea breath tests, were compared between the two groups. Cost for one successful eradication was calculated in each group. The expected cost of eradication for empirical treatment was investigated by varying the treatment duration and eradication rate. Results A total of 527 patients were analyzed (tailored group 208, empirical group 319). The eradication success rate of the first-line therapy was higher in the tailored group compared to that in the empirical group (91.8% vs 72.1%, p<0.01). The total medical cost for each group was 114.8±14.1 U.S. dollars (USD) and 85.8±24.4 USD, respectively (p<0.01). The total medical costs for each ultimately successful eradication in the tailored group and in the empirical group were 120.0 USD and 92.4 USD, respectively. The economic modeling expected cost of a successful eradication after a 7- or 14-day empirical treatment was 93.8 to 111.4 USD and 126.3 to 149.9 USD, respectively. Conclusions Based on economic modeling, the cost for a successful eradication using DPO-based PCR would be similar or superior to the expected cost of a successful eradication with a 14-day empirical treatment when the first-line eradication rate is ≤80%.

Outcomes of furazolidone- and amoxicillin-based quadruple therapy for Helicobacter pylori infection and predictors of failed eradication. World J Gastroenterol 2018; 24:4596-4605. [PMID: 30386109 PMCID: PMC6209572 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v24.i40.4596] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2018] [Revised: 08/16/2018] [Accepted: 10/05/2018] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
AIM To evaluate the outcomes of furazolidone- and amoxicillin-based quadruple therapy for treatment of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and identify predictors of failed eradication.
METHODS Patients with H. pylori infection treated with furazolidone, amoxicillin, bismuth, and proton pump inhibitor therapy (January 2015 to December 2015) who received the 13C-urea breath test > 4 wk after treatment were evaluated. Demographic and clinical data including prior H. pylori treatment attempts, medication adherence, alcohol and cigarette consumption during therapy, and treatment-related adverse events were recorded by reviewing medical records and telephone surveys. H. pylori eradication rates for overall and subgroups were evaluated. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify independent predictors of failed H. pylori eradication.
RESULTS Of the 992 patients treated and retested for H. pylori infection, the overall eradication rate was 94.5% [95% confidence interval (CI): 94.1%-95.9%]. H. pylori eradication rate of primary therapy was 95.0% (95%CI: 93.5%-96.5%), while that of rescue therapy was 91.3% (95%CI: 86.8%-95.8%). Among the 859 patients who completed the study protocol, 144 (17%) reported treatment-related adverse events including 24 (3%) leading to premature discontinuation. On multivariate analysis, poor medication adherence [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 6.7, 95%CI: 2.8-15.8], two or more previous H. pylori treatments (AOR = 7.4, 95%CI: 2.2-24.9), alcohol consumption during therapy (AOR = 4.4, 95%CI: 1.5-12.3), and possibly smoking during therapy (AOR = 1.9, 95%CI: 0.9-4.3) were associated with failed H. pylori eradication.
CONCLUSION Furazolidone- and amoxicillin-based quadruple therapy for H. pylori infection in an area with a high prevalence of clarithromycin resistance demonstrated high eradication rates as primary and rescue therapies with a favorable safety profile. Patient education targeting abstinence from alcohol during therapy and strict medication adherence may further optimize H. pylori eradication.

Abstract
In the face of rising prevalence of antibiotic resistance, susceptibility testing to provide personalized treatment is recommended prior to eradication therapy for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). Yet, population specific treatment according to the local prevalence of antibiotic resistance may be an alternative if susceptibility testing is not available. In this article, we reviewed the global prevalence of primary antibiotic resistance and the efficacies of commonly used regimens in antibiotic susceptible and resistance strains. We then constructed a model to predict the efficacies of these regimens and proposed an algorithm to choose the optimal first-line and rescue therapies according to the prevalence of antibiotic resistance. Clarithromycin-based therapy (triple, sequential, concomitant, and hybrid therapies) for 14 days remains the treatment of choice in regions with low clarithromycin resistance (≤15%) and bismuth quadruple therapy may be an alternative therapy. In regions with high clarithromycin resistance (> 15%), bismuth quadruple therapy is the treatment of choice and non-bismuth quadruple therapy may be an alternative. Either levofloxacin-based therapy or bismuth quadruple therapy may be used as second-line rescue therapy for patients fail after clarithromycin-based therapies, whereas levofloxacin-based therapy may be used for patients fail after bismuth quadruple therapy. Susceptibility testing or genotypic resistance should be determined after two or more eradication failures. However, empirical therapy according to prior medication history to avoid the empirical reuse of levofloxacin and clarithromycin may be an acceptable alternative after consideration of cost, patient preference, and accessibility. Rifabutin-based therapy for 14 days may serve as the fourth-line therapy. New antibiotics specific for H. pylori are highly anticipated.

Abstract
Experts now recommend that all Helicobacter pylori infections be eradicated unless there are compelling reasons not to. As with other infectious diseases, effective therapy should be based on susceptibility.
