Equivalence Trial of the Non-Bismuth 10-Day Concomitant and 14-Day Hybrid Therapies for Helicobacter pylori Eradication in High Clarithromycin Resistance Areas. Antibiotics (Basel) 2024; 13:280. [PMID: 38534715 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics13030280] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2024] [Revised: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 03/15/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Background and aim: We conducted an equivalence trial of quadruple non-bismuth "concomitant" and "hybrid" regimens for H. pylori eradication in a high clarithromycin resistance area. Methods: There were 321 treatment-naïve H. pylori-positive individuals in this multicenter clinical trial randomized to either the hybrid (esomeprazole 40 mg/bid, amoxicillin 1 g/bid for 7 days, then 7 days esomeprazole 40 mg/bid, amoxicillin 1 g/bid, clarithromycin 500 mg/bid, and metronidazole 500 mg/bid) or the concomitant regimen (all medications given concurrently bid for 10 days). Eradication was tested using histology and/or a 13C-urea breath test. Results: The concomitant regimen had 161 patients (90F/71M, mean 54.5 years, 26.7% smokers, 30.4% ulcer) and the hybrid regimen had 160 (80F/80M, mean 52.8 years, 35.6% smokers, 31.2% ulcer). The regimens were equivalent, by intention to treat 85% and 81.8%, (p = 0.5), and per protocol analysis 91.8% and 87.8%, (p = 0.3), respectively. The eradication rate by resistance, between concomitant and hybrid regimens, was in susceptible strains (97% and 97%, p = 0.6), clarithromycin single-resistant strains (86% and 90%, p = 0.9), metronidazole single-resistant strains (96% and 81%, p = 0.1), and dual-resistant strains (70% and 53%, p = 0.5). The side effects were comparable, except for diarrhea being more frequent in the concomitant regimen. Conclusions: A 14-day hybrid regimen is equivalent to a 10-day concomitant regimen currently used in high clarithromycin and metronidazole resistance areas. Both regimens are well tolerated and safe.

Abstract
Background/Aims Clarithromycin resistance is a main factor for treatment failure in the context of Helicobacterpylori infection. However, the treatment regimen for clarithromycin-resistant H. pylori infection has not yet been determined. We aimed to compare the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of 14-day bismuth-based quadruple therapy versus 14-day metronidazole-intensified triple therapy for clarithromycin-resistant H. pylori infection with genotypic resistance. Methods This was a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial. A total of 782 patients with H. pylori infection examined using sequencing-based clarithromycin resistance point mutation tests were recruited between December 2018 and October 2020 in four institutions in Korea. Patients with significant point mutations (A2142G, A2142C, A2143G, A2143C, and A2144G) were randomly assigned to receive either 14-day bismuth-based quadruple therapy (n=102) or 14-day metronidazole-intensified triple therapy (n=99). Results The overall genotypic clarithromycin resistance rate was 25.7% according to the sequencing method. The eradication rate of 14-day bismuth-based quadruple therapy was not significantly different in the intention-to-treat analysis (80.4% vs 69.7%, p=0.079), but was significantly higher than that of 14-day metronidazole-intensified triple therapy in the per-protocol analysis (95.1% vs 76.4%, p=0.001). There were no significant differences in the incidence of side effects. In addition, the 14-day bismuth-based quadruple therapy was more cost-effective than the 14-day metronidazole-intensified triple therapy. Conclusions Fourteen-day bismuth-based quadruple therapy showed comparable efficacy with 14-day metronidazole-intensified triple therapy, and it was more cost-effective in the context of clarithromycin-resistant H. pylori infection.

Lessons From a Quality Improvement Project to Standardize the Process of Gastric Biopsy Culture for Helicobacter pylori. JPGN REPORTS 2021; 2:e116. [PMID: 37206447 PMCID: PMC10191519 DOI: 10.1097/pg9.0000000000000116] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2020] [Accepted: 07/23/2021] [Indexed: 05/21/2023]
Abstract
Despite expert recommendations, clinician's adherence to pediatric societal clinical practice guidelines is variable, particularly with respect to the use of gastric biopsy culture in the initial diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection. In addition, the implementation of routine use of gastric biopsy culture has been challenging with several factors affecting the rate of successful primary H pylori culture. Methods We conducted a quality improvement (QI) project with the aims of increasing the rate of successful primary culture. The QI project involved educational efforts among our gastroenterologists, endoscopy suite personnel, and laboratory personnel. We compared the frequency of gastric biopsy culture sent in patients with international classification of diseases 9th revision code 041.86, and 10th revision codes B96.81 evaluated by pediatric gastroenterologists at Boston Children's Hospital during the 9 months before the QI intervention (February 1, 2019 to October 31, 2019) and 9 months after the QI intervention (November 1 2019 to July 31 2020). We also compared the rate of culture growth in patients with positive histology (culture positivity), and antimicrobial susceptibilities before and after November 1, 2019. Results We observed an increased frequency of gastric biopsy acquisition by any gastroenterologist, obtained in 39% (28 of 71) preintervention patients compared with 67% (36 of 54) intervention patients (P = 0.004). There was an increase in the percentage of culture positivity across study periods from 21% (3 of 14) preintervention to 45% (5 of 11) postintervention (P = 0.39; 95% confidence interval, 0.64-7.00). Conclusion Educational initiatives and collaborative work with staff physicians, endoscopy personnel, and hospital laboratory appear to be effective tools to increase usage of gastric biopsy culture as a diagnostic tool for H pylori infection and to increase culture positivity. Improving the surveillance of local resistance rates will improve the selection of the most effective primary treatment in specific geographic areas.

Abstract
Hybrid antimicrobials that combine the effect of two or more agents represent a promising antibacterial therapeutic strategy. In this work, we have synthesized N-(4-(4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl)-5-phenylthiazol-2-yl)benzenesulfonamide derivatives that combine thiazole and sulfonamide, groups with known antibacterial activity. These molecules are investigated for their antibacterial activity, in isolation and in complex with the cell-penetrating peptide octaarginine. Several of the synthesized compounds display potent antibacterial activity against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Compounds with 4-tert-butyl and 4-isopropyl substitutions exhibit attractive antibacterial activity against multiple strains. The isopropyl substituted derivative displays low MIC of 3.9 μg mL−1 against S. aureus and A. xylosoxidans. The comparative antibacterial behaviour of drug–peptide complex, drug alone and peptide alone indicates a distinctive mode of action of the drug–peptide complex, that is not the simple sum total of its constituent components. Specificity of the drug–peptide complex is evident from comparison of antibacterial behaviour with a synthetic intermediate–peptide complex. The octaarginine–drug complex displays faster killing-kinetics towards bacterial cells, creates pores in the bacterial cell membranes and shows negligible haemolytic activity towards human RBCs. Our results demonstrate that mere attachment of a hydrophobic moiety to a cell penetrating peptide does not impart antibacterial activity to the resultant complex. Conversely, the work suggests distinctive modes of antibiotic activity of small molecules when used in conjunction with a cell penetrating peptide. Hybrid antimicrobials that combine the effect of two or more agents represent a promising antibacterial therapeutic strategy.![]()

Abstract
Objective Cost-benefit is an important consideration for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication in Japan, where 1.5 million patients were reported to receive first-line eradication annually. This study aimed to identify the optimal cost-saving triple therapy regimen for H. pylori eradication in Japan. Materials and Methods This retrospective observational study used data from a large-scale, nationwide health insurance claims database (2015‒2018). Using success rates of first-line eradication, mean total costs of first-line and second-line eradications per patient were compared between regimens including a potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB) or a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), and between two clarithromycin (CAM) doses (400 and 800 mg/day). Subgroup analyses by smoking habit or body mass index (BMI) were performed. Results Among propensity score (age, gender, CAM dose, disease name)-matched patients (P-CAB regimen, n=22,002; PPI regimen, n=22,002), total costs were lower with the P-CAB than the PPI regimen (Japanese yen [JPY] 12,952 vs 13,146) owing to significantly higher first-line eradication rates with the P-CAB regimen (93.6% vs 79.7%; p<0.001). For both regimens, even among current smokers or patients with BMI ≥25 kg/m2, eradication rates did not differ by CAM dose, and total costs were approximately JPY1000 lower with CAM 400 mg/day than with CAM 800 mg/day. Conclusion High success rate of first-line eradication contributes to saving in total eradication costs by reducing costs of subsequent therapy, irrespective of patients' smoking status or BMI class. The combination of more potent acid-inhibitory medicine and low-dose CAM may be the optimal regimen in terms of efficacy and cost-benefit in Japan.

Abstract
Background: The most recommended treatment for a Helicobacter pylori infection is high doses of combined antibiotics. The objective of this article is to perform a systematic review of the economic evaluation studies applied to assess the efficiency of diagnostic testing for H. pylori infections, so that their main characteristics can be identified and to learn from the literature how the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) issue is incorporated into these economic evaluations. Methods: We conducted a systematic review to compare the costs and clinical effectiveness of diagnostic strategies for H. pylori infections. We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and extracted the items from the Consolidated Health Economic Evaluation Reporting Standards (CHEERS) checklist. Results: We found thirteen articles that were of good quality according to CHEERS: six studies focused on diagnostics of Helicobacter pylori infections associated with dyspepsia and four on duodenal ulcers. Testing was found to be the most cost-effective strategy in eight articles. Four studies considered AMR. Conclusions: Testing was more cost-effective than empirical treatment, except in cases of high prevalence (as with developing countries) or when patients could be stratified according to their comorbidities. The introduction of AMR into the model may change the efficiency of the testing strategy.

Abstract
Introduction: Eradication of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) becomes more challenging due to increasing antimicrobial resistance. Consequently, the performance of clarithromycin-containing triple therapies is now declining to unacceptable levels and should be abandoned unless a prior susceptibility test precludes clarithromycin resistance.Areas covered: This review summarizes updated evidence concerning new and advancing pharmacotherapy options for H. pylori eradication.Expert opinion: Due to the declining efficacy of legacy triple therapies, most guidelines recommend bismuth quadruple therapy as the best initial empiric treatment. Concomitant, sequential and hybrid therapies are remarkable bismuth-free quadruple options, provided that dual clarithromycin-metronidazole resistance is low. Levofloxacin-, rifabutin-, furazolidone- and sitafloxacin-containing regimens remain useful, particularly as salvage options. To eradicate H. pylori in line with the rules of antibiotic stewardship, susceptibility-guided treatment appears as the ideal approach. However, the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of universal pre-treatment susceptibility testing warrants further evaluation. Molecular testing methods promise convenient characterization of H. pylori antibiotic susceptibility. High-dose dual therapy (proton-pump-inhibitor plus amoxicillin) and vonoprazan, a more potent acid inhibitor that likely enhances the activity of amoxicillin, are promising alternatives that could decrease misuse of antibiotics. Addition of certain probiotics could somewhat increase the performance of H. pylori eradication regimens, while improving tolerability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study we aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of two personalized rescue therapies for Helicobacter pylori infection. METHODS An open-label, single-center, randomized controlled trial was conducted. Patients who had failed one or two regimens for H. pylori infection were randomized to receive a 14-day bismuth-containing quadruple therapy guided by antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) or personal medication history (PMH). In the AST group, either two of amoxicillin, clarithromycin, metronidazole or levofloxacin were prescribed according to the AST. In the PMH group, amoxicillin plus either levofloxacin or furazolidone were prescribed based on the patient's history of quinolone use. The primary outcomes were eradication rates confirmed by an urea breath test 6 weeks after treatment. The secondary outcomes were adherence, incidence of adverse events (AE) and cost-effectiveness. RESULTS Altogether 164 with a positive culture received AST-guided therapy and 192 received PMH-guided therapy, respectively. Both AST- and PMH-guided therapies achieved comparable eradication rate (intention-to-treat analysis: 78.10% vs 74.29%, P = 0.42; per-protocol analysis: 87.10% vs 88.64%, P = 0.80). The AST clarithromycin regimen had a lower per-protocol eradication rate than the levofloxacin (75.47% vs 96.30%, P = 0.03) or furazolidone-containing regimen (75.47% vs 92.75%, P = 0.02). Both groups had high compliance with low incidences of AE, and PMH-guided therapy had a lower medical cost. CONCLUSIONS AST-guided therapy was not superior to PMH-guided therapy as a second- or third-line treatment for H. pylori infection. Considering the cost-effectiveness, PMH therapy is clinically more favorable.

Abstract
This review summarizes important studies regarding Helicobacter pylori therapy published from April 2019 to April 2020. The main themes that emerge involve studies assessing antibiotic resistance, and there is also growing momentum behind the utility of vonoprazan as an alternative to proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy and also bismuth-based regimens as a first-line regimen. Antibiotic resistance is rising wherever it is being assessed, and clarithromycin resistance in particular has reached a point where it may no longer be a viable therapy without previous testing in many regions of the world. The evidence for the efficacy of a bismuth-based quadruple therapy as a first-line therapy is now very clearly established, and there is substantial evidence that it is the best performing first-line therapy. The utility of vonoprazan as an alternative to PPI therapy, especially in resistant and difficult-to-treat groups, has also been considered in great detail this year, and it may offer an opportunity in the near future to reduce the problem of antibiotic resistance.
