Abstract
BACKGROUND The vonoprazan (VPZ)-amoxicillin (AMO) dual therapy (VA) demonstrates a satisfactory eradication rate for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori ). However, the optimal dosage of AMO in this regimen remains uncertain. The objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy of different doses of AMO in the VA regimen for first-line treatment of H. pylori infection. METHODS A total of 192 treatment-naive H. pylori -infected patients were randomly assigned to one of three groups: low-dose VA (LD-VA: VPZ 20 mg b.i.d + AMO 750 mg t.i.d), moderate-dose VA (MD-VA:VPZ 20 mg b.i.d + AMO 1000 mg t.i.d), and high-dose VA (HD-VA: VPZ 20 mg b.i.d + AMO 1250 mg t.i.d). All groups received 14 days of treatment. The study evaluated and compared the eradication rates, adverse events (AEs), and patient compliance among the three groups. RESULTS Eradication rates for LD-VA, MD-VA, and HD-VA were 76.6% (49/64), 79.7% (51/64), and 84.4% (54/64), respectively, as determined by intention-to-treat analysis; 90.6% (48/53), 94.3% (50/53), and 98.1% (53/54) according to per-protocol analysis; 89.1% (49/55), 94.4% (51/54), and 96.4% (54/56) with modified intention-to-treat analysis (all P > 0.05). Although not statistically significant, numerically higher eradication rates were observed with the higher dose AMO VA regimen. There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of AEs and compliance among the three VA regimens. CONCLUSION Fourteen-day VA regimens with AMO doses exceeding 2 g/day demonstrated satisfactory eradication rates. HD-VA therapy is potentially the most effective regimen. Large-sample clinical trials are required to further validate these findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tegoprazan is a potassium-competitive acid blocker that inhibits gastric acid and which may be used for eradicating Helicobacter pylori. This study focuses on the pharmacokinetic interaction and safety between tegoprazan and the combination of clarithromycin, amoxicillin and bismuth in healthy Chinese subjects. METHODS An open-label, three-period, single-center, multiple-dosage, single-sequence, phase I trial was conducted in 22 healthy subjects. In period 1, the subjects took tegoprazan 50 mg twice daily for 7 days, and in period 2 they were administered clarithromycin 500 mg, amoxicillin 1000 mg and bismuth potassium citrate 600 mg twice daily for 7 days (days 14-20). Tegoprazan, clarithromycin, amoxicillin and bismuth potassium citrate were then administered in combination for 7 days (days 21-27) in period 3. Blood samples were collected up to 12 h after the last dose of each period. Safety assessments were performed in each period. RESULTS The geometric mean ratios (GMRs) [90% confidence interval (CI)] of maximum plasma concentration at steady state (Cmax,ss) and area under the plasma concentration-time curve over the dosing interval (AUCτ) at steady state were 195.93% (175.52-218.71%) and 287.54% (263.28-314.04%) for tegoprazan and 423.23% (382.57-468.22%) and 385.61% (354.62-419.30%) for tegoprazan metabolite M1, respectively. The GMRs (90% CI) of Cmax,ss and AUCτ were 83.69% (77.44-90.45%) and 110.30% (102.74-118.41%) for clarithromycin, 126.25% (114.73-138.93%) and 146.94% (135.33-159.55%) for 14-hydroxyclarithromycin, 75.89% (69.73-82.60%) and 94.34% (87.94-101.20%) for amoxicillin, and 158.43% (125.43-200.11%) and 183.63% (156.42-215.58%) for bismuth, respectively. All reported adverse events were mild. The frequency of adverse events during the coadministration stage was not higher than that during the single- or triple-drug administration stages. CONCLUSION The plasma exposure of tegoprazan, M1, 14-hydroxyclarithromycin and bismuth was increased after the coadministration of tegoprazan, clarithromycin, amoxicillin and bismuth. The coadministration exhibited favorable safety and tolerability. CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRATION CTR20230643.

Comparison of vonoprazan-based dual therapy with vonoprazan-based bismuth quadruple therapy for treatment-naive patients with Helicobacter pylori infection: A propensity score matching analysis. Medicine (Baltimore) 2024; 103:e37476. [PMID: 38457567 PMCID: PMC10919513 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000037476] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 03/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Vonoprazan, a novel acid suppressant and the first potassium-competitive acid blocker, has the potential to enhance the eradication rate of Helicobacter pylori due to its robust acid-suppressing capacity. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of vonoprazan-based dual therapy (vonoprazan-amoxicillin, VA) with vonoprazan-based bismuth quadruple therapy (VBQT) as a first-line treatment for H pylori infection. This retrospective single-center non-inferiority study was conducted in China. Treatment-naive H pylori-positive patients aged 18 to 80 received one of the 2 treatment regimens at our center. The VA group received vonoprazan 20 mg twice daily and amoxicillin 1000 mg 3 times daily for 14 days, whereas the VBQT group received vonoprazan 20 mg, amoxicillin 1000 mg, clarithromycin 500 mg, and bismuth potassium citrate 220 mg twice daily for 14 days. The eradication rate was evaluated 4 to 6 weeks after treatment using the carbon-13/14 urea breath test. Propensity score matching was used to analyze eradication rates, adverse events (AEs), and patient compliance between the 2 groups. Initially, 501 patients were included, and after propensity score analysis, 156 patients were selected for the study. Intention-to-treat analysis showed eradication rates of 87.2% (95% CI, 79.8-94.6%) for the VA group and 79.5% (95% CI, 70.5-88.4%) for the VBQT group (P = .195). Per-protocol analysis demonstrated rates of 94.4% (95% CI, 89.2-99.7%) for the VA group and 96.8% (95% CI, 92.4-100%) for the VBQT group (P = .507). Non-inferiority was confirmed between the 2 groups, with P values < .025. The VA group showed a lower rate of AEs (10.3% vs 17.9%, P = .250) compared to the VBQT group. There were no significant differences in patient compliance between the 2 groups. In treatment-naive patients with H pylori infection, both the 14-day VA and VBQT regimens demonstrated comparable efficacy, with excellent eradication rates. Moreover, due to reduced antibiotic usage, lower rate of AEs, and lower costs, VA dual therapy should be prioritized.

Abstract
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection are different disease states that are united by the core role of acid suppression in their management. In GERD, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have long been standard therapy based on abundant positive clinical trial data supporting their efficacy and safety. In H. pylori, PPIs are also a critical element of therapy in combination with 1 or more antibiotics to achieve and maintain a pH that maximizes the efficacy of therapy. Despite the considerable clinical success and widespread use of PPIs, room remains for agents with differentiated pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles. The potassium-competitive acid blockers (PCABs) are mechanistically distinct from PPIs but are acid-stable and do not require activation of the proton pump by coadministration of food. In pharmacodynamic studies, these agents have shown greater durations of acid suppression above the critical threshold of pH 4 (for GERD) and pH 6 (for H. pylori), which have been shown to optimize therapeutic efficacy in these settings. These results have translated in clinical studies to similar and, in some cases, improved outcomes relative to PPIs in these disease states. This review summarizes current knowledge on the physiology of acid secretion, pathophysiology and management of GERD and H. pylori, and key characteristics and clinical trial data for PPIs and PCABs.

Abstract
Tegoprazan is a novel potassium-competitive acid blocker that treats gastric acid-related diseases. Clarithromycin was widely used as one of various regimens for eradicating Helicobacter pylori. This study compared the pharmacokinetic and safety profile of tegoprazan and clarithromycin between combination therapy and monotherapy to evaluate the potential drug-drug interaction. An open-label, randomized, 6-sequence, 3-period crossover study was conducted in 24 healthy subjects. According to the assigned sequence, the subject was administered the assigned treatment during 5 days in each period. PK parameters of tegoprazan and clarithromycin administered in combination were compared with those of the respective monotherapies. The co-administration of tegoprazan with clarithromycin increased maximum steady-state plasma concentration (Css,max) and area under the plasma concentration-time curve in dosing interval at steady-state (AUCss,tau) of tegoprazan (1.6-fold in Css,max and 2.5-fold in AUCss,tau) and M1 (2.0-fold in Css,max, 2.5-fold in AUCss,tau) than tegoprazan alone. The Css,max and AUCss,tau of 14-hydroxyclarithromycin increased 1.8- and 2.0-fold in co-administration, respectively. The AUCss.tau of clarithromycin was slightly increased in co-administration, but Css,max was not changed. Combination of tegoprazan and clarithromycin and those of the respective monotherapies were tolerated in 24 healthy subjects. There may exist drug interaction that lead to reciprocal increase in plasma drug concentrations when tegoprazan and clarithromycin were administrated in combination and no safety concerns were raised. It is suggested that an in-depth analysis of the concentration-response relationship is necessary to determine whether these concentration changes warrant clinical action. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02052336.

Abstract
Purpose: Vonoprazan (VPZ) produces a strong acid-inhibitory effect, which can potentially eradicate Helicobacter Pylori (H. pylori). We aimed to assess whether a 14-day VPZ-containing triple therapy was safe and effective in the Chinese population and the potential mechanism. Methods: Enrolled patients confirmed to be infected with H. pylori were randomly divided into four groups: VPZ + doxycycline + furazolidone, VPZ + doxycycline + amoxicillin, esomeprazole (EPZ) + bismuth + doxycycline + furazolidone, and EPZ + colloidal bismuth + doxycycline + amoxicillin for 14 days. The eradication rate, medication adherence, and incidence of adverse events (AEs) were evaluated. Inhibition of H. pylori by VPZ and EPZ in vitro was assessed. H. pylori treated with appropriate concentrations of VPZ and EPZ were sequenced by transcriptome analysis to explore the antibacterial mechanism. Results: A higher eradication rate were observed in VPZ-containing triple therapy. No obvious differences were observed in medication adherence or the incidence of AEs. VPZ had no direct inhibitory effect on H. pylori, whereas EPZ directly inhibited H. pylori may through downregulated genes related to the ribosome. Conclusion: In the Chinese population, 14-day VPZ-containing triple therapy was safe and more effective and can be used clinically as first-line H. pylori treatment.

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
INTRODUCTION There are no randomized controlled trials that demonstrate the role of tailored therapy based on past medication history in improving efficacy of H. pylori eradication compared to empiric therapies. The objective of this study was to determine whether tailored triple plus bismuth therapy (TBT) can achieve higher eradication rates based on previous antibiotic history than empiric TBTs. METHODS 800 treatment-naïve patients were randomly assigned to four groups receiving clarithromycin-, levofloxacin- or metronidazole-containing empiric TBT and tailored TBT (clarithromycin and levofloxacin chosen based on previous macrolides and quinolones medication history). Correlation analyses were performed between past medication history and resistance or eradication rate. RESULTS The eradication rates of tailored TBT were significantly higher than clarithromycin-, levofloxacin- and metronidazole-containing empiric TBT in both intention-to-treat (89.5%, 80.8%, 81.5% and 81.5%) and per-protocol (95.1%, 86.7%, 86.5% and 87.8%) analyses (P<0.05). In patients with previous macrolides, quinolones or nitroimidazoles medication history, the resistance rates of corresponding clarithromycin, levofloxacin or metronidazole were significantly higher than patients without past medication history, and the eradication rates of corresponding clarithromycin- or levofloxacin-containing empiric TBT were significantly lower. CONCLUSION Tailored TBT based on previous antibiotic history can achieve higher eradication rates than empiric TBT for first-line H. pylori eradication.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ) infection is an infectious disease with a prevalence rate of up to 50% worldwide. It can cause indigestion, gastritis, peptic ulcer, and gastric cancer. H. pylori eradication treatment can effectively control disease progression and reduce the risk of the above conditions. However, the escalating trend of antibiotic resistance presents a global challenge for H. pylori eradication. We aim to provide guidance on pharmacological treatment of H. pylori infection. METHODS This clinical practice guideline is developed following the World Health Organization's recommended process, adopting Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation in assessing evidence quality, and utilizing Evidence to Decision framework to formulate clinical recommendations, minimizing bias and increasing transparency of the clinical practice guideline development process. We used the Reporting Items for practice Guidelines in HealThcare (RIGHT) statement and The Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II (AGREE II) as reporting and conduct guides to ensure the guideline's completeness and transparency. RESULTS Though decreasing in developed countries, the prevalence of H. pylori remains high in developing countries, causing a major public health burden. This clinical practice guideline contains 12 recommendations concerning pharmacological treatment for H. pylori eradication. Among them, it is worth highlighting that bismuth preparations are inexpensive, safe, and effective, consequently making bismuth quadruple therapy a preferred choice for initial and rescue treatment. In empirical treatment, high-dose dual therapy is equally effective compared with bismuth quadruple therapy. CONCLUSIONS The 12 recommendations in this clinical practice guideline are formed with consideration for stakeholders' values and preferences, resource use, feasibility, and acceptability. Recommendations are generalizable to resource limited settings with similar antibiotic resistance pattern as China, and lower middle-income countries facing comparable sociological and technical challenges.

Effects of CYP2C19 genetic polymorphisms on the cure rates of H. pylori in patients treated with the proton pump inhibitors: An updated meta-analysis. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:938419. [PMID: 36278195 PMCID: PMC9582748 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.938419] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2022] [Accepted: 09/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: The cure rates of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) treatment using a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) are gradually decreasing due to antibiotic resistance, poor compliance, high gastric acidity, and cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) polymorphism, and the effects of PPI depend on metabolic enzymes, cytochrome P450 enzymes. The aim of this meta-analysis was to determine whether CYP2C19 polymorphisms affect H. pylori cure rates in patients treated with different proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) according to stratified analysis. Materials and methods: The literature was searched with the key words “H. pylori” and “CYP2C19” in PubMed, CNKI, and Wanfang up to 31 May 2022, and the studies were limited to clinical observational or randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Finally, seven RCTs and 29 clinical observational studies met the inclusion criteria and were used for the meta-analysis via STATA version 16. Results: The cure rates were significantly different between genotypes of homozygous extensive metabolizers (EM) and poor metabolizers (PM) (OR = 0.58, 95% CI: 0.47–0.71) and between EM and heterozygous extensive metabolizers (IM) (OR = 0.71, 95% CI: 0.59–0.86), but not between IM and PM. Moreover, there was a significantly lower H. pylori cure rate in EM subjects than that in IM subjects when treated with omeprazole (66.4% vs. 84.1%), lansoprazole (76.1% vs. 85.6%), but not rabeprazole, esomeprazole, or pantoprazole. In addition, there was a significantly lower H. pylori cure rate in EM subjects than that in IM subjects when treated with a PPIs for 7 days (77.4% vs. 82.1%), but not 14 days (85.4% vs. 90.0%). Conclusion: Carriers of CYP2C19 loss-of-function variant alleles (IM and PM) exhibit a significantly greater cure rate of H. pylori than noncarriers (EM) regardless of other factors (84.7% vs. 79.2%). In addition, pantoprazole- and rabeprazole-based quadruple therapy for H. pylori treatment is less dependent on the CYP2C19 genotype and should be prioritized in Asian populations with H. pylori.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Novel, effective treatments for Helicobacter pylori infection are needed. This study evaluated the efficacy of vonoprazan, a potassium-competitive acid blocker, vs standard treatment on H pylori eradication in the United States and Europe. METHODS In a randomized, controlled, phase 3 trial, treatment-naïve adults with H pylori infection were randomized 1:1:1 to open-label vonoprazan dual therapy (20 mg vonoprazan twice daily; 1 g amoxicillin 3 times daily), or double-blind triple therapy twice a day (vonoprazan 20 mg or lansoprazole 30 mg; amoxicillin 1 g; clarithromycin 500 mg) for 14 days. The primary outcome was noninferiority in eradication rates in patients without clarithromycin- and amoxicillin-resistant strains (noninferiority margin = 10%). Secondary outcomes assessed superiority in eradication rates in clarithromycin-resistant infections, and in all patients. RESULTS A total of 1046 patients were randomized. Primary outcome eradication rates (nonresistant strains): vonoprazan triple therapy 84.7%, dual therapy 78.5%, vs lansoprazole triple therapy 78.8% (both noninferior; difference 5.9%; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.8 to 12.6; P < .001; difference -0.3%; 95% CI, -7.4 to 6.8; P = .007, respectively). Eradication rates in clarithromycin-resistant infections: vonoprazan triple therapy 65.8%, dual therapy 69.6%, vs lansoprazole triple therapy 31.9% (both superior; difference 33.9%; 95% CI, 17.7-48.1; P < .001; difference 37.7%; 95% CI, 20.5-52.6; P < .001, respectively). In all patients, vonoprazan triple and dual therapy were superior to lansoprazole triple therapy (80.8% and 77.2%, respectively, vs 68.5%, difference 12.3%; 95% CI, 5.7-18.8; P < .001; difference 8.7%; 95% CI, 1.9-15.4; P = .013). Overall frequency of treatment-emergent adverse events was similar between vonoprazan and lansoprazole regimens (P > .05). CONCLUSION Both vonoprazan-based regimens were superior to proton pump inhibitor-based triple therapy in clarithromycin-resistant strains and in the overall study population.

Abstract
Helicobacter pyloriInfection is formally recognised as an infectious disease, an entity that is now included in the International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision. This in principle leads to the recommendation that all infected patients should receive treatment. In the context of the wide clinical spectrum associated with Helicobacter pylori gastritis, specific issues persist and require regular updates for optimised management.The identification of distinct clinical scenarios, proper testing and adoption of effective strategies for prevention of gastric cancer and other complications are addressed. H. pylori treatment is challenged by the continuously rising antibiotic resistance and demands for susceptibility testing with consideration of novel molecular technologies and careful selection of first line and rescue therapies. The role of H. pylori and antibiotic therapies and their impact on the gut microbiota are also considered.Progress made in the management of H. pylori infection is covered in the present sixth edition of the Maastricht/Florence 2021 Consensus Report, key aspects related to the clinical role of H. pylori infection were re-evaluated and updated. Forty-one experts from 29 countries representing a global community, examined the new data related to H. pylori infection in five working groups: (1) indications/associations, (2) diagnosis, (3) treatment, (4) prevention/gastric cancer and (5) H. pylori and the gut microbiota. The results of the individual working groups were presented for a final consensus voting that included all participants. Recommendations are provided on the basis of the best available evidence and relevance to the management of H. pylori infection in various clinical fields.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The doses of medications may influence the success of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication. This real-world observational study aimed to explore the impact of insufficient doses of medications prescribed for the bismuth-containing quadruple therapy (BQT) regimen on successful H. pylori eradication. METHODS We retrospectively screened the patients who were diagnosed with H. pylori infection and received BQT regimens for H. pylori eradication at our department between January 2017 and July 2020. The rate of successful H. pylori eradication was compared according to the doses of medications prescribed. Standard doses were defined according to the clinical guidelines. RESULTS Overall, 1054 patients were included. The rate of successful H. pylori eradication was 78.2% (824/1054). Among them, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and antibiotics were prescribed at insufficient doses in 37.0% (390/1054) and 6.7% (71/1054) of patients, respectively. Furthermore, pantoprazole (98.7% [385/390]) was the most common type of PPIs prescribed at insufficient doses, and nitroimidazoles (85.9% [61/71]) were the most common type of antibiotics prescribed at insufficient doses. Among the patients receiving colloidal bismuth pectin (CBP) (200mg tid) and standard-dose antibiotics, the rate of successful H. pylori eradication was lower in insufficient-dose PPIs group than standard-dose PPIs group (78.1% [271/347] versus 82.6% [438/530], P=0.095). Among the patients receiving CBP (200mg tid) and standard-dose PPIs, the rate of successful H. pylori eradication was significantly lower in insufficient-dose antibiotics group than standard-dose antibiotics group (37.8% [14/37] versus 82.6% [438/530], P<0.0001). Among the patients receiving CBP 200mg tid, the rate of successful H. pylori eradication was significantly lower in patients receiving both PPIs and antibiotics at insufficient doses than those at standard doses (46.4% [13/28] versus 82.6% [438/530], P<0.0001). CONCLUSION Among the BQT regimens, PPIs and/or antibiotics, especially pantoprazole and metronidazole, are often prescribed at insufficient doses, compromising the success of H. pylori eradication.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with acid-related disorders (ARDs) of the upper digestive tract remain highly prevalent and need to be continuously investigated to improve their management. AREAS COVERED This review provides a summary of the most recent advancements in the treatment of ARDs with particular focus on the new drugs available to overcome the unmet needs of traditional therapies. EXPERT OPINION Proton pump inhibitors remain the best therapy in treating ARDs, but a consistent proportion of these patients continues to present mucosal lesions or to experience symptoms despite treatment. These cases pertain mainly to the most severe forms of erosive esophagitis or to non-erosive reflux disease. Also, the increasing rate of patients with H. pylori infection not responding to eradication therapy represents a difficult clinical condition. The recent advent of a new class of antisecretory drugs, such as the potassium competitive acid blockers and, among them the most studied vonoprazan, which are characterized by a better pharmacological profile than PPIs (rapid onset of action, longer lasting acid suppression, control of nocturnal acidity), has the potential to overcome the above-mentioned unmet needs. More research should be done to assess their efficacy in Western populations and their safety in patients treated in the long term.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this meta-analysis, we aimed to comprehensively investigate the impact of pretreatment with proton pump inhibitor (PPI) on Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication and provide novel inspiration to clinical practice. METHODS Relevant studies were selected through PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library from inception to March 2021. Two reviewers performed the selection independently. The primary outcome of the meta-analysis was the eradication rate. A modified Jadad scale was used to evaluate literature quality quantitatively. RESULTS Ten studies were included in this research. The results showed no significant difference between PPI pretreatment and standard treatment on eradication of H. pylori [relative risk (RR): 1.17, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.0.73-1.88]. There was no significant difference between the PPI pretreatment group and the standard therapy group for conventional triple therapy, PPI and amoxicillin and clarithromycin (RR: 1.29, 95% CI: 0.60-2.77). Similar results were obtained in the therapy strategy of PPI and amoxicillin and metronidazole (RR: 3.01, 95% CI: 0.62-14.74). Interestingly, for the therapy regimen of PPI and clarithromycin and metronidazole, PPI pretreatment indicated superiority on H. pylori eradication rate (RR: 0.48, 95% CI: 0.23-0.97, P < .05). CONCLUSION PPI pretreatment did not affect the H. pylori eradication rates, regardless of the various types of bacteriostatic antibiotic, except the therapy regimen of PPI and clarithromycin and metronidazole.

Abstract
Accurate detection of Helicobacter pylori infection and determination of antibiotics have significant meaning in clinical practice. The detection methods can be categorized into two types, invasive and non-invasive, but nowadays we use the urease breath test most frequently which is non-invasive. However, many developing countries cannot meet the requirements for having specialized equipment and they lack trained personnel. Also, for the children, it is difficult to make them cooperate for the test. Methods that detect Helicobacter pylori from stool sample can be a promising alternative for detection used in children and mass screening. Stool antigen tests have several advantages such as rapidity, simplicity, and cheapness, though their results may be influenced by the heterogenicity of antigens, the nature of biochemical techniques, and the amount of antigen presented in the stool. PCR-based methods can specifically detect Helicobacter pylori infection and antibiotic resistance by targeting specific gene sequence, but they also are limited by the requirements of facilities and experts, the existence of inhibitory substance, and interference from the dead bacteria. Some novel methods also deserve our attention. Here we summarized the results of researches about methods using stool sample and we hope our work can help clinicians choose the appropriate test in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Noninvasive detection of Helicobacter pylori plays an important role in clinical practice. However, few noninvasive methods have been applied in epidemiological studies due to the requirement for expensive equipment and complicated processes. The aim of this study was to establish a reliable, fast, and inexpensive noninvasive method based on CRISPR-Cas12a technology for the detection of Helicobacter pylori in stool specimens. METHOD A novel detection method based on CRISPR-Cas12a technology was established and validated with 41 stool specimens collected from Zhujiang Hospital and compared with reliable Helicobacter pylori detection assays, such as the rapid urease test and urea breath test. RESULT A CRISPR-Cas12a system-based method was established, and its sensitivity and specificity were evaluated. Utilizing a lateral flow biosensor, the limit of detection was 5 copies/μl, and our method could successfully distinguish Helicobacter pylori from other pathogens, suggesting no cross-reactivity with other pathogens. Furthermore, lateral flow biosensor strips were utilized to test stool specimens, which could display the detection results in an accessible way. CONCLUSION Our CRISPR-Cas12a system-based method successfully detected Helicobacter pylori in stool specimens. It is a rapid, simple, and inexpensive method for the detection and screening of Helicobacter pylori, which makes it a very promising supplemental test. However, its sensitivity and specificity compared with those of the gold standard test still need to be examined.
