Antibiotics (Basel) 2024; 13:136. [PMID: 38391522 PMCID: PMC10885881 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics13020136] [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: 12/14/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND non-bismuth sequential therapy (SEQ) was suggested as a first-line anti-Helicobacter pylori treatment alternative to standard triple therapy (STT). METHODS We conducted a systematic review with a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the efficacy of 10-day SEQ vs. STT (of at least 7 days) using bibliographical searches up to July 2021, including treatment-naïve adult or children. The intention-to-treat (ITT) eradication rate and the risk difference (RD) were calculated. RESULTS Overall, 69 RCTs were evaluated, including 19,657 patients (9486 in SEQ; 10,171 in STT). Overall, SEQ was significantly more effective than STT (82% vs. 75%; RD 0.08; p < 0.001). The results were highly heterogeneous (I2 = 68%), and 38 studies did not demonstrate differences between therapies. Subgroup analyses suggested that patients with clarithromycin resistance only and all geographical areas but South America could benefit more from SEQ. Both therapies have evolved over the years, showing similar results when STT lasted 14 days; however, a tendency toward lower SEQ efficacy was noted from 2010 onwards. CONCLUSIONS Prior to 2010, SEQ was significantly more effective than STT, notably when 7-day STT was prescribed. A tendency toward lower differences between SEQ and STT has been noted, especially when using 10-day STT. None of the therapies achieved an optimal efficacy and therefore cannot be recommended as a valid first-line H. pylori treatment.

[PMID: 37868476 PMCID: PMC10587916 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.45593] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 10/24/2023] Open
Abstract
The Helicobacter pylori infection is a significant issue in global health as it is associated with a range of gastrointestinal disorders and an elevated likelihood of developing stomach cancer. The declining efficacy of standard triple therapy (TT) as the recommended treatment can be attributed to the emergence of drug-resistant strains. Sequential therapy (ST) has been recognized as an alternative approach, wherein a combination of proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) and amoxicillin is administered for the initial five days, followed by a combination of PPI, clarithromycin, and metronidazole for the subsequent five days. In this comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis, we have thoroughly assessed the effectiveness and tolerability of ST as a primary treatment option in comparison to TT for the eradication of H. pylori. The analysis comprised a total of 15 randomized controlled trials, encompassing a sample size of 5,219 patients. The collective findings indicate that ST exhibits promise as it achieves higher rates of eradication. Additionally, it is worth noting that this approach has the potential to yield cost savings and enhance treatment compliance when compared to TT. To summarize, this systematic review and meta-analysis provide evidence that ST is a viable option for the initial treatment of H. pylori eradication. It shows potential benefits compared to the standard TT, especially when there is resistance to clarithromycin. In order to establish ST as the preferred first-line treatment, it is imperative that additional research be conducted to address the aforementioned limitations and thoroughly investigate its long-term efficacy and safety profiles. Nevertheless, it is required that additional research be conducted in order to adequately tackle the constraints of the current studies and solidify its position as a favored treatment alternative. It is also essential to consider ST as a viable approach to improve the rates of H. pylori eradication. This method should be thoroughly examined in clinical practice to gain a deeper understanding of its effectiveness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bismuth salt is bacteriostatic and bactericidal against Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). Little is known about the benefit of bismuth itself. Recently in Korea, government regulation changed to allow bismuth add-on to conventional triple eradication regimens. Study aimed the additional benefit of the bismuth add-on to the 2-week clarithromycin-based triple regimen for H. pylori eradication. METHODS A single-centered retrospective review of electronic medical records was conducted in Seoul, Korea. Treatment-naïve H. pylori infected subjects treated with the clarithromycin-based triple regimen were consecutively enrolled. After propensity score matching, 118 subjects who were treated with rabeprazole 20 mg, amoxicillin 1 g, and clarithromycin 500 mg twice daily for 14 days (PAC) and matched 118 subjects with PAC plus bismuth subcitrate potassium 300 mg twice daily for 14 days (PACB) were included in the final analysis. The primary endpoint was the eradication success rates in each group.Article title: Kindly check and confirm the edit made in the article title.Yes, I agree with the article title. RESULTS: The eradication success rates were 91.5% (86.4-96.6%) for PACB regimen and 81.4% (74.2-88.5%) for PAC in the intention-to-treat analysis, and 97.3% (94.2-100%) for PACB and 88.1% (81.9-94.3%) for PAC in the per-protocol analysis. The relative risk of eradication failure for PACB over PAC was calculated as 0.184 (0.0492-0688, p value = 0.005) in multiple regression logistic analysis. Compliance and adverse event incidence were not different between the two groups.Author names: Please confirm if the author names are presented accurately and in the correct sequence (given name, middle name/initial, family name).

Abstract
BACKGROUND To systematically evaluate the quality of the guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection and to analyze the differences and reasons for the key recommendations in the guidelines. METHODS Databases and websites were systematically searched to obtain guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection. Four independent reviewers used the Guideline Evaluation Tool (AGREE II) to evaluate the included guidelines. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Fleiss' kappa coefficient were used to measure the consistency of evaluation guidelines between guide reviewers. Differences between guidelines and the reasons for the differences were analyzed by comparing the recommendations of different guidelines and the evidence supporting the recommendations. RESULTS A total of 17 guidelines for Helicobacter pylori infection were included in this study. The AGREE II scores of these guidelines were low overall, with 4 of them had a score of over 60%, which indicates that the guidelines are recommended, and 13 of them having a score ranging from 30 to 60%, which indicates that the guidelines are recommended but need to be revised, while no guideline had a score of 30% or less, which indicates that they were not recommended. The analysis of these guidelines found that there were some differences in the main recommendations. Not all guidelines recommend sequential therapy as the recommended therapy. Whether bismuth quadruple therapy should be used as the recommended first-line therapy is unclear. The antibiotic resistance rate is different in different regions. Combined with the local antibiotic sensitivity test, the eradication rate of Helicobacter pylori can be improved. CONCLUSION There are significant differences in the quality of Helicobacter pylori infection guidelines and the key recommendations. Improving the deficiencies of existing guidelines is an effective way to develop high-quality guidelines and make reasonable recommendations for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection in the future.

Abstract
Background Multiple regimens have been widely used in the eradication treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection in children. However, there is a lack of comparison and evaluation of their effectiveness in different regions of the world. Methods Randomized controlled trials were retrieved. Review Manager 5.4, Stata SE 15 and R 4.0.4 statistical software were used to analyze date. The ranking probability is assessed according to the surfaces under cumulative ranking (SUCRA). Results 163 studies were eligible for this study, involving 336 arms and 18,257 children, and 10 different interventions. The results showed that the eradication rates of sequential therapy with probiotics (SP), bismuth-containing quadruple (Quadruple) therapy, concomitant therapy and PCN therapy were at least 90%. Cumulative ranking showed that SP therapy had the best eradication effect (SUCRA 92.7%) whereas Bismuth-containing triple therapy (B) had the worst (SUCRA 3.5%). Subgroup analysis suggested that SP therapy ranked first in China and other regions, and the ranking of Triple therapy with probiotics therapy (TP) was equally stable (SUCRA 72.0% vs 76.4% respectively). The security of the SP and TP therapy had great advantages. Conclusions As for the eradication treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection in children, SP therapy ranks highest. SP and TP therapies are most safe.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori infection exhibits a wide disease spectrum ranging from asymptomatic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, to gastric cancer. H. pylori can induce dysbiosis of gastric microbiota in the pathway of carcinogenesis and successful eradication can restore gastric homeostasis. Diagnostic testing and treatment for H. pylori infection is recommended in patients with active or past history of peptic ulcer, chronic dyspepsia, chronic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) or aspirin use, precancerous gastric lesions, gastric cancer, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, family history of gastric cancer, family history of peptic ulcers, household family member having active H. pylori infection, iron deficiency anemia, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, or vitamin B12 deficiency. Recommended first-line regimens for H. pylori eradication are classified according to clarithromycin resistance. In areas of high clarithromycin resistance (≥15%), we recommend 14-day concomitant therapy or 14-day bismuth quadruple therapy (BQT) as first-line regimen. In areas of low clarithromycin resistance (<15%), we recommend 14-day triple therapy or 14-day BQT as first-line treatment. Second-line regimens are 14-day levofloxacin triple therapy or 14-day BQT if BQT is not previously used. For patients with multiple treatment failure, antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) should be performed. If AST is not available, we recommend using antibiotics not previously used or for which resistance is unlikely, such as amoxicillin, tetracycline, bismuth, or furazolidone. High-dose potent proton pump inhibitor or vonoprazan is recommended to achieve adequate acid suppression. Probiotics can be used as an adjuvant treatment to reduce the side effects of antibiotics and enhance eradication rate.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is highly prevalent in East Asia. The overall seroprevalence rate of H. pylori infection is 44.2% in China, 37.6%-43.2% in Japan, and 51.0% in South Korea. H. pylori can cause peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. East Asian countries have high rates of gastric cancer (age-standardized incidence rate: 20-30 per 100000). The Kyoto global consensus report emphasized that H. pylori gastritis should be considered the main cause for the development of gastric cancer. H. pylori treatment guidelines in China, Japan, and South Korea have recently been revised according to data from each of those countries. However, emerging antibiotic resistance is an important barrier to H. pylori eradication. The recommended H. pylori treatment regimens differ among those three East Asian countries. In this review, recent guidelines and up-to-date research on H. pylori treatment regimens from China, Japan, and South Korea are discussed.

Abstract
Sequential therapy (ST) and concomitant therapy (CT) are common first-line treatments for Helicobacter pylori (HP). This study aimed to assess the efficiency and safety of ST and CT in the first-line treatment of HP by comparing their clinical outcomes. Two authors independently searched PubMed, EBSCO, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library for all the relevant articles published before March 2021 to compare the clinical outcomes of HP patients undergoing ST or CT. The primary outcome measures were HP eradication rates and adverse events (AEs). This meta-analysis included 24 articles with 7531 HP patients. CT was better than ST in eradicating HP from per-protocol analysis (PP) (RR=0.96, P<0.001) and modified intent-to-treat analysis (MITT) (RR=0.94, P=0.005). Compared with non-Asia, CT demonstrated more apparent advantages than ST in Asia. CT treated with lansoprazole, pantoprazole and esomeprazole outperformed ST treated with the same PPIs. CT for 10 days and ST for 14 days were the better choices of course of treatment. The incidence rates of AEs were significantly higher in CT than in ST for diarrhoea (RR=0.65, P<0.001), vomiting (RR=0.68, P=0.03), dysgeusia (RR=0.83, P=0.03) and dizziness (RR=0.77, P=0.05). Both ST and CT are safe and effective first-line treatments for HP. Although the AEs were more frequent with CT than ST, CT was superior to ST, especially in Asia. The effect of various PPIs varied in various therapies. The best course of treatment was 10 days for CT and 14 days for ST.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori infection is one of the most common infectious diseases worldwide. H. pylori is responsible for substantial gastrointestinal morbidity with a high disease burden. Since the revision of the H. pylori Clinical Practice Guidelines in 2013 in Korea, the eradication rate of H. pylori has gradually decreased with the use of a clarithromycin based triple therapy. According to a nationwide randomized controlled study by the Korean College of Helicobacter and Upper Gastrointestinal Research released in 2018, the intention-to-treat eradication rate was only 63.9%, which was mostly due to increased antimicrobial resistance to clarithromycin. The clinical practice guidelines for treatment of H. pylori were updated based on evidence-based medicine from a meta-analysis conducted on a target group receiving the latest level of eradication therapy. The draft recommendations developed based on the meta-analysis were finalized after expert consensus on three recommendations regarding the indication for treatment and eight recommendations on the treatment itself. These guidelines were designed to provide clinical evidence for the treatment of H. pylori to patients, nurses, medical school students, policymakers, and clinicians. These may differ from current medical insurance standards, and will be revised if more evidence emerges in the future.

Perkovic N, Mestrovic A, Bozic J, Ivelja MP, Vukovic J, Kardum G, Sundov Z, Tonkic M, Puljiz Z, Vukojevic K, Tonkic A. Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing Concomitant and Tailored Therapy for Eradication of Helicobacter pylori Infection. J Pers Med 2021; 11:jpm11060534. [PMID: 34207870 PMCID: PMC8229321 DOI: 10.3390/jpm11060534] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2021] [Revised: 06/03/2021] [Accepted: 06/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
As high clarithromycin resistance (>20%) in the Split-Dalmatia region of Croatia hinders the treatment of H. pylori infection, the primary objective of this study was to compare concomitant quadruple with the tailored, personalized therapy as first-line eradication treatment of H. pylori. In an open-label, randomized clinical trial, 80 patients with H. pylori infection were randomly assigned to either concomitant (esomeprazole 40 mg, amoxicillin 1 gr, metronidazole 500 mg, clarithromycin 500 mg, twice daily for 14 days) or tailored therapy in accordance with the results of the antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Eradication status was assessed 4 weeks after treatment. Eradication rates were significantly higher in tailored group than in concomitant group both in intention-to-treat (70 vs. 92.5%, p = 0.010) and per-protocol (87.5 vs. 100%, p = 0.030) analysis in the setting of increasing antibiotic resistance (clarithromycin 37.5%, metronidazole 17.5%, dual resistance 10%). Adverse effects were more frequent in the concomitant group (32.5 vs. 7.5%, p = 0.006). Tailored therapy achieves higher eradication with a lower adverse events rate. With the increasing resistance of H. pylori strains to antibiotic treatment, eradication regimes with such characteristics should be strongly considered as a reasonable choice for first-line treatment.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is associated with the development of multiple diseases. The eradication rate of H. pylori has gradually decreased, suggesting the need to discover more effective therapies. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of first-line treatments including high-dose dual therapy (HDDT), bismuth-based quadruple therapy (BQT), sequential therapy (ST), concomitant therapy (CT) and hybrid therapy (HT) by network meta-analysis (NMA). A comprehensive search on PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science, was performed from their inception to 1 September 2019. A network analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing first-line therapies were carried out using Stata 14.0 and Revman 5.2. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis was conducted by omitting non-Asian studies. Finally, 41 RCTs with 14 119 patients were included. The NMA showed that, in terms of eradication rate, ST for 10 days (ST-10) was significantly lower than CT for 10 or 14 days (CT ≥ 10). Sensitivity analysis among the Asian population showed that ST-10 denoted the lowest effectiveness among the interventions. The ranking results based on probability showed that HDDT ranked first for the eradication rate. As for adverse events, HDDT was significantly less than BQT and CT regardless of duration, while BQT for 14 days represented higher adverse events than ST, HT and CT ≥ 10. HDDT ranked first among the therapies. In conclusion, HDDT for 14 days appeared to be the most optimal first-line therapy for H. pylori among the Asian population with comparable efficacy and compliance but causing fewer adverse events.

Kim YJ, Chung WC, Kim DB. Efficacy of bismuth added to standard triple therapy as the first-line eradication regimen for Helicobacter pylori infection. Helicobacter 2021; 26:e12792. [PMID: 33650225 DOI: 10.1111/hel.12792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2020] [Revised: 02/04/2021] [Accepted: 02/05/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Addressing the increasing antibiotic resistance, including clarithromycin resistance, which affects Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy, is a challenge for clinicians. The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of bismuth added to standard triple therapy as a first-line treatment regimen for Helicobacter pylori infection. The secondary outcome was the treatment efficacy for clarithromycin-resistant strains. MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective study was undertaken from January to December 2019. A total of 107 patients with Helicobacter pylori infection were enrolled and received Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy with bismuth added to standard triple therapy for 14 days. We also evaluated the clarithromycin resistance rate by dual-priming oligonucleotide-based multiplex PCR and treatment efficacy. RESULTS A total of 104 patients completed standard triple therapy with bismuth added for Helicobacter pylori eradication. The eradication rates in the intention to treat and per-protocol analyses were 87.9% and 90.4%, respectively. The frequency of clarithromycin resistance was 33.6% (35/104), and the eradication rate was 77.1% in resistant strains (27/35). CONCLUSION Bismuth added to standard triple therapy could be acceptable as a first-line treatment regimen for Helicobacter pylori eradication in patients with clarithromycin-resistant strains. In particular, in areas with high clarithromycin tolerance, it is advisable to consider bismuth add-on therapy as the first-line treatment regimen.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori infection is one of the most common infectious diseases worldwide. Although the prevalence of H. pylori is gradually decreasing, approximately half of the world's population still becomes infected with this disease. H. pylori is responsible for substantial gastrointestinal morbidity worldwide, with a high disease burden. It is the most common cause of gastric and duodenal ulcers and gastric cancer. Since the revision of the H. pylori clinical practice guidelines in 2013 in Korea, the eradication rate of H. pylori has gradually decreased with the use of a clarithromycin-based triple therapy for 7 days. According to a nationwide randomized controlled study conducted by the Korean College of Helicobacter and Upper Gastrointestinal Research released in 2018, the intention-to-treat eradication rate was only 63.9%, which was mostly due to increased antimicrobial resistance, especially from clarithromycin. The clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of H. pylori were updated according to evidence-based medicine from a meta-analysis conducted on a target group receiving the latest level of eradication therapy. The draft recommendations developed based on the meta-analysis were finalized after an expert consensus on three recommendations regarding the indication for treatment and eight recommendations for the treatment itself. These guidelines were designed to provide clinical evidence for the treatment (including primary care treatment) of H. pylori infection to patients, nurses, medical school students, policymakers, and clinicians. These may differ from current medical insurance standards and will be revised if more evidence emerges in the future.

Abstract
Background/Aims: Standard triple therapy, including a proton pump inhibitor, clarithromycin, and amoxicillin, has been recommended as the first-line for <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> infection. However, the eradication rate of standard triple therapy has declined over the past years because of the increasing resistance to clarithromycin in Korea. We analyzed the eradication rates and the 10-year change in the eradication rates in Korea.Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and KoreaMed were searched for studies published between January 2007 and June 2018. The pooled eradication rates and their 95% CIs were estimated using a random-effect logistic regression model.Results: Twenty-six randomized controlled studies on standard triple therapy conducted in Korea were selected. The intention-to-treat (ITT) and per protocol analyses showed pooled eradication rates of standard triple therapy of 71.6% (95% CI, 69.9~73.3%) and 79.6% (95% CI, 76.6~82.2%), respectively. The eradication rate decreased with time. The ITT analysis showed that the 14-day therapy (78.1% [95% CI, 75.2~80.7%]) had significantly higher eradication rates than the 7-day therapy (70.0% [95% CI, 68.5~71.4%]) (<i>P</i><0.01).Conclusions: These results suggest that the eradication rate of standard triple therapy, as the first-line therapy, has shown an unacceptable decrease. The eradication rate increased when the duration of therapy was increased to 14 days, but it was not satisfactory. Therefore, other treatment regimens or therapies based on susceptibility tests should be considered for the first-line therapy.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is one of the most common infectious diseases worldwide. Although its incidence is gradually decreasing, about half of the world's population still get infected. H. pylori infection is responsible for substantial gastrointestinal morbidity worldwide. It is the most common cause of gastric and duodenal ulcers as well as gastric cancer. Since the revision of the H. pylori Clinical Practice Guidelines in 2013, the eradication rate of H. pylori has gradually decreased with the use of classical triple therapy, wherein amoxicillin, clarithromycin, and proton pump inhibitors are administered, for 7 days. According to a nationwide randomized controlled study conducted by the Korean College of Helicobacter and Upper Gastrointestinal Research released in 2018, the intention-to-treat eradication rate was only 63.9%, which was due to increased antimicrobial resistance induced by the use of antibiotics, especially clarithromycin. The update of clinical practice guideline for treatment of H. pylori was developed based on evidence-based medicine by conducting a meta-analysis. The draft recommendations were finalized after expert consensus on three recommendations regarding the indication for treatment and eight recommendations on the treatment itself. These guidelines are designed to provide patients, nurses, medical school students, policymakers, and clinicians with clinical evidence to guide primary care and treatment of H. pylori infection. These may differ from current medical insurance standards and will be revised further, if necessary, based on research-based evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is one of the most common bacterial infections worldwide, which is associated with peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. In this study, we compared the efficacy of 10-day versus 12-day concomitant therapy as the first-line treatment for H. pylori eradication in Iran. METHODS 218 patients with peptic ulcer disease and naïve H. pylori infection, were randomly divided into two groups to receive either 10-day or 12-day concomitant regimens, composed of pantoprazole 40 mg, amoxicillin 1000 mg, clarithromycin 500 mg, and metronidazole 500 mg, all given twice daily. Eight weeks after treatment, H. pylori eradication was assessed by 14C- urea breath test. The trial was registered in the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (code: IRCT20170521034070N2). RESULTS 212 patients completed the study. According to the intention to treat analysis, the eradication rates were 83.6% (95% CI: 76.6-90.5) and 88.8% (95% CI: 82.8-94.7) in 10-day and 12-day concomitant therapy groups, respectively (p = 0.24). Per-protocol eradication rates were 85.9% (95% CI: 79.3–92.4) and 92.6% (95% CI: 87.6–97.5), respectively (p = 0.19). The rates of severe side effects were not statistically different between the two groups (3.6% vs. 8.1%; p = 0.428). CONCLUSION 12-day concomitant therapy could achieve ideal eradication rates by both intention to treat and perprotocol analyses. In order to reduce the cost of drugs and the rate of adverse effects of therapy, among 10-day and 12day regimens, 12-day concomitant therapy seems to be a good alternative to 14-day concomitant therapy that has been suggested by international guidelines.

Abstract
The infection and drug resistance rates of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) are high and must be prevented and treated by better strategies. Based on recent research advances in this field as well as the results from our team and those on traditional Chinese medicine, we review the causes of drug resistance, and prevention and treatment strategies for drug-resistant H. pylori infection, with an aim to make suggestions for the development of new drugs, such as establishment of new target identification and screening systems, modification of existing drug structures, use of new technologies, application of natural products, and using a commercial compound library. This article may provide reference for eradication of drug-resistant H. pylori.

Abstract
Background: International treatment guidelines for Helicobacter pylori infection recommend a proton pump inhibitor (PPI)/amoxicillin/clarithromycin (CAM) regimen (PAC) or PPI/amoxicillin/metronidazole (MNZ) regimen (PAM) as first-line therapy based on culture and sensitivity testing. As incidence rates of antimicrobial agent-resistant strains are changing year by year, it is important to reevaluate the efficacy of eradication regimens. We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PAC and PAM based on different locations categorized by the reported incidence of CAM- and MNZ-resistant strains. Methods: Randomized control trials (RCTs) comparing eradication rates between PAC and PAM first-line treatment up to December 2018 were included. We divided RCTs into four groups based on resistance to CAM (< 15% or ≥ 15%) and MNZ (< 15% or ≥ 15%). Results: A total of 27 studies (4825 patients) were included. Overall eradication rates between PAC and PAM were similar (74.8% and 72.5%, relative risk (RR): 1.13, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.91–1.39, P = 0.27) in the intention-to-treat analysis. In areas with low MNZ- and high CAM-resistance rates, PAM had a significantly higher eradication rate than PAC (92.5% vs. 70.8%, RR: 0.29, 95% CI: 0.13–0.68). In areas with high MNZ- and low CAM-resistance rates, the eradication rate with PAC was only 72.9%. Conclusions: Overall eradication rates with PAC and PAM were equivalent worldwide. In low MNZ-resistance areas, PAM may be recommended as first-line therapy. However, the efficacy of PAC may be insufficient, irrespective of susceptibility to CAM.

Abstract
Background/Aims This nationwide, multicenter prospective randomized controlled trial aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of 10-day concomitant therapy (CT) and 10-day sequential therapy (ST) with 7-day clarithromycin-containing triple therapy (TT) as first-line treatment for Helicobacter pylori infection in the Korean population. Methods Patients with H. pylori infection were assigned randomly to 7d-TT (lansoprazole 30 mg, amoxicillin 1 g, and clarithromycin 500 mg twice daily for 7 days), 10d-ST (lansoprazole 30 mg and amoxicillin 1 g twice daily for the first 5 days, followed by lansoprazole 30 mg, clarithromycin 500 mg, and metronidazole 500 mg twice daily for the remaining 5 days), or 10d-CT (lansoprazole 30 mg, amoxicillin 1 g, clarithromycin 500 mg, and metronidazole 500 mg twice daily for 10 days). The primary endpoint was eradication rate by intention-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) analyses. Results A total of 1,141 patients were included. The 10d-CT protocol achieved a markedly higher eradication rate than the 7d-TT protocol in both the ITT (81.2% vs 63.9%) and PP analyses (90.6% vs 71.4%). The eradication rate of the 10d-ST protocol was superior to that of the 7d-TT protocol (76.3% vs 63.9%, ITT analysis; 85.0% vs 71.4%, PP analysis). No significant differences in adherence or serious side effects were found among the three treatment arms. Conclusions The 10d-CT and 10d-ST regimens were superior to the 7d-TT regimen as standard first-line treatment in Korea.

Proton-pump inhibitor and amoxicillin-based triple therapy containing clarithromycin versus metronidazole for Helicobacter pylori: A meta-analysis. Microb Pathog 2020; 142:104075. [PMID: 32074497 DOI: 10.1016/j.micpath.2020.104075] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2019] [Revised: 02/14/2020] [Accepted: 02/14/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is one of the important risk factors of gastric related diseases and antibiotic therapy has become an effective treatment. At present, proton-pump inhibitor and amoxicillin-based triple therapy, including clarithromycin (PAC) and metronidazole (PAM), are two commonly used first-line therapies for H. pylori infection, which has a high incidence and possibly poor prognosis worldwide. METHODS A systematic literature review was performed using the databases PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Ovid Medline, Science Direct, Embase, Scopus and Web of Science. Only randomized clinical trials with full texts published were included. RESULTS Eighteen studies involving 3264 patients were included. The pooled risk ratios (RR) between the PAC and PAM groups were comparable in the intention-to-treat (ITT) eradication rates (71.0% versus 75.2%, RR = 0.96, p = 0.38) and per-protocol (PP) eradication rates (79.6% versus 80.1%, RR = 1.02, p = 0.65). PAM is highly effective in clarithromycin-resistant cases (70.4% versus 48.2%, RR = 0.65, p = 0.002) and that PAC showed significant efficacy in metronidazole-resistant cases (87.3% versus 58.6%, RR = 1.43, p = 0.0006). In subgroup analysis, when using low-dose PPI, the PAM group showed greater efficacy than the PAC group. Furthermore, we found that PAM showed higher effectiveness in the studies published in recent years, especially for people over 60 years old (RR = 0.80, 95% CI: 0.71-0.89, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION In general, both PAC and PAM regimens were effective and comparable in eradicating H. pylori. However, the PAM regimen showed greater efficacy than the PAC regimen in recent years, especially for people over 60 years old.

Abstract
Background One of the most common reasons for poor medication adherence and associated treatment failure of triple therapy is adverse drug effect (ADEs) of medications. Objective Assessment of ADEs and associated factors during H. pylori eradication therapy. Method Consented H. pylori positive adult outpatients on standard triple therapy (proton pump inhibitor, amoxicillin and clarithromycin) were involved in this facility based follow up study from May 2016 to April 2018 at Bahir Dar city in Ethiopia. Pre-developed questionnaire and formats were used to collect sociodemographic, medical information, and patient practice data before, during, and after therapy. Bivariate and backward stepwise multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze data. P-value < 0.05 at 95%CI was considered as significant. Result A total of 421 patients were involved in the study. Almost 80% of the patients were urban residents. Mean (±SD) age and body weight of patients were 30.63 (± 10.74) years and 56.79 (± 10.17) kg, respectively. ADE was reported from 26.1% of the patients and of all the reported ADEs, more than 85% was manifested with gastrointestinal symptoms which include gastrointestinal discomfort(39.1%), nausea (13.6%), constipation(12.7%), diarrhea(12.9%) and anorexia(10%). Determinants of self-reported ADEs among patients in the present study were body mass index above 25 (AOR: 2.55; 95%CI (1.21–5.38), p = 0.014), duration of acid-pepsin disorder more than 3weeks (AOR: 3.57; 95%CI (1.63–7.81), p = 0.001), pain feeling during long interval between meals (AOR: 2.14; 95%CI (1.19–3.84), p = 0.011), and residence in urban area (AOR: 1.95; 95% CI (1.04–3.67), p = 0.038). Conclusion Significant proportion of patients reported ADEs which commonly manifested with gastrointestinal symptoms. Consideration of patients’ body mass index, duration of the disorder, period of the day when patients feel pain, and patients’ area of residence could help to reduce ADEs experienced during H. pylori eradication therapy.

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 In Korea, increasing clarithromycin resistance has led to the need for an alternative first-line therapy for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. Concomitant therapy (CT) and sequential therapy (ST) have been proposed as alternative regimens. The aim of this study was to compare the eradication rate from using CT and ST in Korea. Methods A literature review was performed on studies comparing the efficacy of CT and ST in Korea. Data were pooled to obtain the odds ratio (OR) of the eradication rate with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The eradication rates were considered both on an intention-to-treat (ITT) and a per-protocol (PP) bases. Results Six studies provided data on 1,897 Korean adult patients. The pooled OR was 1.382 (95% CI: 1.031-1.853, p=0.031) for ITT analysis and 2.114 (95% CI: 1.502-2.974, p<0.001) for PP analysis. There was no difference in the rate of adverse events and compliances between the two regimens. Conclusions The efficacy of CT was superior to ST in both ITT and PP analyses. Therefore, CT could be an excellent alternative regimen for the eradication of H. pylori as a first-line therapy in Korea.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal hemorrhage occurs frequently. We reviewed the tendency of occurrence of bleeding gastric and duodenal ulcers and their association with antithrombotic therapy before and after the widespread use of Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines for Peptic Ulcer 2009 (1st edition), which was published to improve treatment outcomes and prevent peptic ulcers. METHODS The study enrolled 1105 patients with bleeding gastric and duodenal ulcers treated at our hospital between January 2000 and March 2016. They were divided into the preguideline group (807 patients treated between January 2000 and December 2010) and the postguideline group (298 patients treated between January 2011 and March 2016). The use of medications, severity, the incidence of Helicobacter pylori infection, the presence of any underlying disease, and other factors were compared between the pre- and postguideline groups. RESULTS The number of patients receiving antithrombotic therapy was slightly higher in the postguideline group without a significant difference (P = 0.50). The incidence of H. pylori infection was significantly lower in the postguideline group (P < 0.001). The rate of premedication with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and the rate of severe ulcers were significantly higher in the postguideline group (P = 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively). The rebleeding rate showed no significant difference, whereas the recurrence rate was significantly higher in the postguideline group (P = 0.041). CONCLUSIONS The major cause of hemorrhagic gastroduodenal ulcers seems to be shifting from H. pylori infection to the administration of drugs with gastrointestinal risk. Antithrombotic therapy tends to be associated with severe ulcers but without statistical significance.

Abstract
While the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is decreasing in Korea, the incidence of gastric cancer remains high, emphasizing the importance of H. pylori eradication. A new treatment strategy is needed as the eradication rate with standard triple therapy, which is currently the standard first-line regimen for H. pylori infection, has decreased below the optimum level. The major cause of eradication failure is increased antibiotic resistance. Sequential, concurrent, and hybrid therapies that include clarithromycin produce higher eradication rates than conventional standard triple therapy. However, the effectiveness of these treatments is limited in regions where the resistance rate to various antibiotics is high. Bismuth quadruple therapy is another alternative therapy, but again the eradication rate is not sufficiently high. Tailored therapy based on individual characteristics, including antibiotic susceptibility, may be ideal, but there are several limitations for clinical application and further research is needed. New potassium-competitive acid blocker-based therapies could emerge as effective alternatives in the near future. A consensus is needed to establish a strategy for applying new eradication therapies in Korea.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether concomitant therapy is superior to triple therapy of various treatment lengths for the first-line treatment of H. pylori remains controversial. The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of concomitant therapy and triple therapy given for 5-14 days. METHODS Randomized control trials (RCTs) comparing the efficacy of concomitant therapy for 5-14 days and proton pump inhibitor-amoxicillin-clarithromycin (PAC)-based triple therapy for 5-14 days in the first-line treatment of adult patients with H. pylori infection published from 1990 to January 2018 were searched from the PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase. Abstracts from international annual conferences were also searched. The primary and secondary outcomes were the eradication rate according to the intention-to-treat analysis and the adverse effects, respectively. Subgroup analyses were also performed according to treatment length. This study is registered with PROSPERO, number CRD42017081328. RESULTS Of the 639 articles identified, 23 RCTs including 3305 patients in the concomitant therapy group and 3327 patients in the triple therapy group were eligible. Overall, concomitant therapy was superior to triple therapy [risk ratio (RR): 1.15; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.09-1.21; p < 0.001]. However, there were significant heterogeneity (I2 = 74.0%, p < 0.001). In the subgroup analysis, 5-day concomitant therapy was superior to 5-day triple therapy (RR: 1.30; 95% CI: 1.04-1.62; p = 0.02), 5- or 7-day concomitant therapy was superior to 7-day triple therapy (RR: 1.16; 95% CI: 1.12-1.21; p < 0.001), and 5- or 7-, or 10- or 14-day concomitant therapy was superior to 10-day triple therapy (RR: 1.15; 95% CI: 1.08-1.23; p < 0.001). However, 5- or 10-day concomitant therapy was not superior to 14-day triple therapy (RR: 1.02; 95% CI: 0.89-1.16; p = 0.796). The frequency of adverse effects was significantly higher in concomitant therapy than triple therapy (RR: 1.19; 95% CI: 1.06-1.34; P = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS Concomitant therapy given for 5 or 10 days was superior to 5- or 7-, or 10-day PAC-based triple therapy, but was not superior to 14-day triple therapy.

Abstract
Background/Aims The efficacy of standard triple therapy (STT) in treating Helicobacter pylori infection has decreased. Many investigators have attempted to increase the eradication rate. We investigated the outcomes of concomitant therapy (CT) and STT combined with probiotics (STP) as a first-line treatment for H. pylori infection. Methods We reviewed the medical records of 361 patients who received either STP (n=286) or CT (n=75). The STP group received STT combined with a probiotic preparation for 1 week. The CT group received STT and metronidazole for 1 week. Results The intention-to-treat and per-protocol eradication rates were 83.6% (95% confidence interval [CI], 79.0 to 87.7) and 87.1% (95% CI, 81.2 to 89.7) in the STP group and 86.7% (95% CI, 78.7 to 93.3) and 91.4% (95% CI, 83.6 to 97.1) in the CT group (p=0.512 and p=0.324), respectively. The frequency of adverse effects was higher in the CT group (28.2%) than in the STP group (12.8%) (p=0.002). Conclusions STP and CT are encouragingly efficacious as first-line treatments for H. pylori infection. Therefore, adding probiotics to STT may be a feasible option to avoid side effects.

Abstract
Background/Aims Although some previous studies reported that a treatment combined with mucoprotective agent could improve the eradication rate in dual or triple therapy, there are other reports that question the efficacy of combining these drugs in concomitant therapy (CoCTx). The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of rebamipide or ecabet on the Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication combined with CoCTx. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 277 patients with proven H. pylori infection. They were assigned to one of 3 regimens for 10 days, twice daily: (a) CoCTx (n=118): lansoprazole 30 mg, amoxicillin 1 g, metronidazole 500 mg, and clarithromycin 500 mg; (b) CoCTx+rebamipide (100 mg) (n=85); (c) CoCTx+ecabet (1 g) (n=74). Results The baseline characteristics were not significantly different. H. pylori eradication rates were 82.2% (97/118) in CoCTx, 90.6% (77/85) in CoCTx+rebamipide, and 89.2% (66/74) in CoCTx+ecabet (p=0.17), which were statistically insignificant. Overall adverse events were more frequently reported in the CoCTx+rebamipide (50.6%. 43/85) and CoCTx+ecabet (44.6%, 33/74) groups than in the CoCTx (32.2%, 38/118) (p = 0.03) group. Drug compliances were not different between three groups (CoCTx: 95.8%, 113/118; CoCT+rebamipide: 92.9%, 79/85; CoCTx+ecabet 98.6%,73/74) (p=0.209). Multivariate analysis showed that the risk of eradication failure was significantly increased with decreased drug compliance (odds ratio 3.52, 95% confidence interval 1.00-12.32; p=0.05). Conclusions Addition of these mucoprotective agent was not superior to CoCTx alone for eradicating H. pylori infection with frequent adverse events. Rather, drug compliance is the most related factor affecting the eradication rate. Our data suggest the importance of drug compliance over the drugs used.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy of the standard triple therapy for Helicobacter pylori eradication has decreased to an unacceptable level. We aimed to compare the efficacy of sequential and concomitant therapies as for the first-line treatments for H. pylori eradication and analyzed the effect of clarithromycin resistance on the eradication rates. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four hundred and seventy-eight patients with H. pylori infection were randomly assigned to either concomitant therapy (amoxicillin 1000 mg with clarithromycin 500 mg, metronidazole 500 mg, and pantoprazole 40 mg twice daily for 10 days) or sequential therapy (amoxicillin 1000 mg with pantoprazole 40 mg twice daily for 5 days, followed by clarithromycin 500 mg with metronidazole 500 mg and pantoprazole 40 mg twice daily for 5 days). The success of the eradication was evaluated 4-5 weeks after treatment completion. To evaluate the efficacy of the two regimens according to clarithromycin sensitivity, dual-priming oligonucleotide-based multiplex-polymerase chain reaction was also performed in the final third of the enrolled study populations. RESULTS The eradication rates with concomitant or sequential therapy were 81.9% and 76.6% (P = .153) in intention-to-treat analysis, and 93.4% and 84.8% (P = .004) in per-protocol analysis, respectively. Among the 156 patients for whom dual-priming oligonucleotide-based multiplex-polymerase chain reaction was performed, 17.9% were clarithromycin resistant, and the efficacy of concomitant therapy was better than sequential therapy in the clarithromycin-resistant strains (100% vs 58.3%, P = .010). CONCLUSION Concomitant therapy was superior to sequential therapy as the first-line treatment for H. pylori eradication, especially in clarithromycin-resistant strains in Korea.

Abstract
Background Most international guidelines recommend triple-therapy regimens consisting of a proton pump inhibitor, clarithromycin, and amoxicillin/metronidazole for at least 7 days for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori. However, the efficacy of 7-day clarithromycin-based standard triple therapy for H. pylori infection is currently unacceptable in Korea. In this study, we will compare the efficacy and safety of 7-day standard triple therapy, 10-day sequential therapy, and 10-day concomitant therapy for the first-line treatment of H. pylori infection in Korea. Methods/design In this multicenter, investigator-blinded, randomized trial we are recruiting adult patients with H. pylori infection from 15 hospitals in Korea to determine whether sequential or concomitant treatment is superior to standard triple therapy. Patients are randomly assigned to receive either standard triple therapy (lansoprazole, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin) for 7 days, or sequential treatment (lansoprazole and amoxicillin for the first 5 days, followed by lansoprazole, clarithromycin, and metronidazole for another 5 days) for 10 days, or concomitant therapy (lansoprazole, amoxicillin, clarithromycin, and metronidazole) for 10 days. The primary outcome is the rate of H. pylori eradication in the intention-to-treat population. Discussion The results of this study will be crucial for determining the optimal regimen for the primary treatment of H. pylori infection in Korea. This study will produce vital evidence that will lead to revisions to guidelines concerning first-line treatment regimens for H. pylori infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy of Helicobacter pylori eradication regimens may depend on the country where the studies were performed because of the difference in antibiotic resistance. We aimed to analyze the efficacy of H. pylori eradication regimens in Korea where clarithromycin resistance rate is high. METHODS We searched for all relevant randomized controlled trials published until November 2016 that investigated the efficacy of H. pylori eradication therapies in Korea. A network meta-analysis was performed to calculate the direct and indirect estimates of efficacy among the eradication regimens. RESULTS Forty-three studies were identified through a systematic review, of which 34 studies, published since 2005, were included in the meta-analysis. Among 21 included regimens, quinolone-containing sequential therapy for 14 days (ST-Q-14) showed the highest eradication rate (91.4% [95% confidence interval [CI], 86.9%-94.4%] in the intention-to-treat [ITT] analysis). The eradication rate of the conventional triple therapy for 7 days, standard sequential therapy for 10 days, hybrid therapy for 10-14 days, and concomitant therapy for 10-14 days was 71.1% (95% CI, 68.3%-73.7%), 76.2% (95% CI, 72.8%-79.3%), 79.4% (95% CI, 75.5%-82.8%), and 78.3% (95% CI, 75.3%-80.9%), respectively, in the ITT analysis. In the network meta-analysis, ST-Q-14 showed a better comparative efficacy than the conventional triple therapy, standard sequential therapy, hybrid therapy, and concomitant therapy. In addition, tolerability of ST-Q-14 was comparable to those regimens. CONCLUSION In Korea, ST-Q-14 showed the highest efficacy in terms of eradication and a comparable tolerability, compared to the results reported for the conventional triple therapy, standard sequential therapy, hybrid therapy, and concomitant therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aims of the study were: 1, to survey the most popular anti-H. pylori regimens in Asia-Pacific region and the real-world effectiveness of these regimens; and 2, to investigate the expectation gaps of eradication rate between physicians and patients. DESIGN A questionnaire was distributed to Asia-Pacific physicians who attended the Asia-Pacific Digestive Week 2015 meeting. Reported eradication rates from the literatures were compared with real-world rates of surveyed popular regimens within the region. In addition, a questionnaire was distributed to H. pylori-infected patients in three regions of Taiwan. RESULTS A total of 691 physicians and 539 patients participated in the survey. The top five most commonly used regimens were 7-day clarithromycin-based standard triple therapy (50.4%), 14-day clarithromycin-based standard triple therapy (31.0%), 10-day sequential therapy (6.1%), 14-day bismuth quadruple therapy (3.9%), and 14-day hybrid therapy (3.6%). All countries except for China had a significant gap between the expectation of physicians on anti-H. pylori therapy and the real-world eradication rate of most commonly adopted regimens (all P value <.05). The expectation on minimal eradication rate among patients was higher than that of physicians (91.4% vs 86.5%, P<.001). CONCLUSIONS It is time for physicians in Asia-Pacific countries to adopt newer and more efficacious anti-H. pylori regimens to meet the Kyoto consensus recommendation and their patients' expectations.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori is a common bacterial pathogen responsible for substantial gastrointestinal morbidity worldwide. Helicobacter pylori infection can be clinically challenging, given the numerous diagnostic and therapeutic options available. In this article, we provide a systematic review of H pylori epidemiology and pathogenesis. In addition, we provide a simplified approach to the diagnosis and treatment of H pylori infection, suitable for application in the primary care setting. On completion of this article, one should be able to (1) state the indications for H pylori testing; (2) identify noninvasive and invasive tests to diagnose H pylori infection; and (3) describe the advantages and disadvantages of various treatment regimens.

Abstract
Eradication of Helicobacter pylori using first-line therapy is becoming less effective. Subjects who had been treated for H. pylori infection were prospectively enrolled through an on-line database registry from October 2010 to December 2012. Demographic data, detection methods, treatment indication, regimens, durations, compliance, adverse events, and eradication results for H. pylori infection were collected. Data of 3,700 patients from 34 hospitals were analyzed. The overall eradication rate of the first-line therapy was 73.0%. Eradication failure was significantly associated with old age, concomitant medication, and comorbidity. Regional differences in eradication rates were observed. The most common first-line therapy was proton pump inhibitor-based triple therapy (standard triple therapy, STT) for 7 days (86.8%). The eradication rates varied with regimens, being 73% in STT, 81.8% in bismuth-based quadruple therapy, 100% in sequential therapy, and 90.3% in concomitant therapy. The eradication rate in treatment-naïve patients was higher than that in patients previously treated for H. pylori infection (73.8% vs. 58.5%, P < 0.001). The overall eradication rate for second-line therapy was 84.3%. There was no statistical difference in eradication rates among various regimens. H. pylori eradication rate using STT is decreasing in Korea and has become sub-optimal, suggesting the need for alternative regimens to improve the efficacy of first-line therapy for H. pylori infection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB), a new class of gastric acid inhibitory agents, as first-line H. pylori eradication treatment compared with 7-day proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-based triple therapy. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 661 consecutive patients who received first-line H. pylori eradication treatment between January 2013 and October 2015. Patients who received 7-day P-CAB therapy (vonoprazan 20 mg+amoxicillin 750 mg+clarithromycin 200 mg twice/day; n=181) were compared with those who received 7-day PPI therapy (lansoprazole 30 mg/rabeprazole 20 mg+amoxicillin 750 mg+clarithromycin 200 mg twice/day; n=480) using propensity score matching analysis. The successful eradication and adverse event rates were compared between the two groups. RESULTS The propensity score matching analysis yielded 175 matched pairs. Adjusted comparisons between the two groups showed a significantly higher eradication rate for the P-CAB than the PPI group in both intention-to-treat (89.1 vs. 70.9%; P<0.001) and per-protocol analyses (91.2 vs. 71.7%; P<0.001). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse events between the two therapies except skin rash. No patients discontinued H. pylori eradication treatment because of adverse events. CONCLUSIONS Seven-day P-CAB-based triple therapy was more effective than 7-day PPI-based triple therapy as a first-line H. pylori eradication treatment. Seven-day P-CAB-based triple therapy was generally well-tolerated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently only a few studies compare sequential and concomitant non-bismuth Helicobacter pylori therapies referring to high antibiotic resistance populations. MATERIALS AND METHODS This multicenter prospective randomized clinical trial included 353 H. pylori positive, treatment naïve, patients. All patients had positive CLO-test and/or histology and culture. They received sequential (esomeprazole 40mg, amoxicillin 1g/bid for 5days, followed by 5days of esomeprazole 40mg, clarithromycin 500mg and metronidazole 500mg bid), or concomitant treatment (all drugs taken concomitantly bid for 10days). Eradication was confirmed by (13)C-urea breath test or histology 4-6weeks after treatment. Adverse events and adherence were evaluated. RESULTS Allocated to concomitant were 175 (72F/103M, mean 52.3years, 38.3% smokers, 25.7% ulcer disease) and 178 (87F/91M, mean 52years, 31% smokers, 19.1% ulcer disease) patients to sequential treatment. There were 303/353 (85.8%) positive cultures, with the following resistances: 34% metronidazole, 27.7% clarithromycin, and 7.9% dual. Eradication rates were, respectively, 89.1% (156/175) vs. 78.7% (140/178) by intention to treat (p=0.01, 95% CI=2.7-18) and 93.4%(156/167) vs. 82.8% (140/169) per protocol (p=0.004, 95% CI=3.6-17.6). Overall, adherence was (98.9%, 95% CI=97-100). Eradication rates according to resistance were the following: dual susceptible strains 67/69 (97.1%), 62/67 (92%) (p=0.4), metronidazole single resistant 38/39 (97.4%), 31/39 (79.5%) (p=0.03, 95% CI=3.5-33), clarithromycin single resistant 25/28 (89.3%), 26/31 (83.9%) (p=0.8), and dual resistant 9/12 (75%), 4/11 (36.4%) (p=0.1) for concomitant and sequential regimens, respectively. Side effects were comparable among regimens, except from diarrhea being more frequent among patients treated with concomitant treatment. CONCLUSIONS Concomitant treatment eradication rate overcomes 90% per protocol and has a significant advantage over sequential therapy. This is probably due to its better efficacy on metronidazole resistant strains. Both regimens were well tolerated and safe.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-bismuth quadruple sequential therapy (SEQ) comprising a first induction phase with a dual regimen of amoxicillin and a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) for five days followed by a triple regimen phase with a PPI, clarithromycin and metronidazole for another five days, has been suggested as a new first-line treatment option to replace the standard triple therapy (STT) comprising a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), clarithromycin and amoxicillin, in which eradication proportions have declined to disappointing levels. OBJECTIVES To conduct a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the efficacy of a SEQ regimen with STT for the eradication of H. pylori infection, and to compare the incidence of adverse effects associated with both STT and SEQ H. pylori eradication therapies. SEARCH METHODS We conducted bibliographical searches in electronic databases, and handsearched abstracts from Congresses up to April 2015. SELECTION CRITERIA We sought randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing 10-day SEQ and STT (of at least seven days) for the eradication of H. pylori. Participants were adults and children diagnosed as positive for H. pylori infection and naïve to H. pylori treatment. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS We used a pre-piloted, tabular summary to collect demographic and medical information of included study participants as well as therapeutic data and information related to the diagnosis and confirmatory tests.We evaluated the difference in intention-to-treat eradication between SEQ and STT regimens across studies, and assessed sources of the heterogeneity of this risk difference (RD) using subgroup analyses.We evaluated the quality of the evidence following Cochrane standards, and summarised it using GRADE methodology. MAIN RESULTS We included 44 RCTs with a total of 12,284 participants (6042 in SEQ and 6242 in STT). The overall analysis showed that SEQ was significantly more effective than STT (82% vs 75% in the intention-to-treat analysis; RD 0.09, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.06 to 0.11; P < 0.001, moderate-quality evidence). Results were highly heterogeneous (I² = 75%), and 20 studies did not demonstrate differences between therapies.Reporting by geographic region (RD 0.09, 95% CI 0.06 to 0.12; studies = 44; I² = 75%, based on low-quality evidence) showed that differences between SEQ and STT were greater in Europe (RD 0.16, 95% CI 0.14 to 0.19) when compared to Asia, Africa or South America. European studies also showed a tendency towards better efficacy with SEQ; however, this tendency was reversed in 33% of the Asian studies. Africa reported the closest risk difference (RD 0.14 , 95% 0.07 to 0.22) to Europe among studied regions, but confidence intervals were wider and therefore the quality of the evidence showing SEQ to be superior to STT was reduced for this region.Based on high-quality evidence, subgroup analyses showed that SEQ and STT therapies were equivalent when STT lasted for 14 days. Although, overall, the mean eradication proportion with SEQ was over 80%, we noted a tendency towards a lower average effect with this regimen in the more recent studies (2008 and after); weighted linear regression showed that the efficacies of both regimens evolved differently over the years, having a higher reduction in the efficacy of SEQ (-1.72% yearly) than in STT (-0.9% yearly). In these more recent studies (2008 and after) we were also unable to detect the superiority of SEQ over STT when STT was given for 10 days.Based on very low-quality evidence, subgroup analyses on antibiotic resistance showed that the widest difference in efficacy between SEQ and STT was in the subgroup analysis based on clarithromycin-resistant participants, in which SEQ reached a 75% average efficacy versus 43% with STT.Reporting on adverse events (AEs) (RD 0.00, 95% CI -0.02 to 0.02; participants = 8103; studies = 27; I² = 26%, based on high-quality evidence) showed no significant differences between SEQ and STT (20.4% vs 19.5%, respectively) and results were homogeneous.The quality of the studies was limited due to a lack of systematic reporting of the factors affecting risk of bias. Although randomisation was reported, its methodology (e.g. algorithms, number of blocks) was not specified in several studies. Additionally, the other 'Risk of bias' domains (such as allocation concealment of the sequence randomisation, or blinding during either performance or outcome assessment) were also unreported.However, subgroup analyses as well as sensitivity analyses or funnel plots indicated that treatment outcomes were not influenced by the quality of the included studies. On the other hand, we rated 'length of STT' and AEs for the main outcome as high-quality according to GRADE classification; but we downgraded 'publication date' quality to moderate, and 'geographic region' and 'antibiotic resistance' to low- and very low-quality, respectively. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Our meta-analysis indicates that prior to 2008 SEQ was more effective than STT, especially when STT was given for only seven days. Nevertheless, the apparent advantage of sequential treatment has decreased over time, and more recent studies do not show SEQ to have a higher efficacy versus STT when STT is given for 10 days.Based on the results of this meta-analysis, although SEQ offers an advantage when compared with STT, it cannot be presented as a valid alternative, given that neither SEQ nor STT regimens achieved optimal efficacy ( ≥ 90% eradication rate).

Abstract
AIM: To evaluate the applicability of nonbismuth concomitant quadruple therapy for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication in Chinese regions.
METHODS: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials was performed to evaluate the efficacy of nonbismuth concomitant quadruple therapy between sequential therapy or triple therapy for H. pylori eradication in Chinese regions. The defined Chinese regions include China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore. The primary outcome was the H. pylori eradication rate; the secondary outcome was the compliance with therapy. The PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane databases were searched for studies published in the period up to March 2016 with no language restriction.
RESULTS: We reviewed six randomized controlled trials and 1616 patients. In 3 trials comparing concomitant quadruple therapy with triple therapy, the H. pylori eradication rate was significantly higher for 7-d nonbismuth concomitant quadruple therapy than for 7-d triple therapy (91.2% vs 77.9%, risk ratio = 1.17, 95%CI: 1.09-1.25). In 3 trials comparing quadruple therapy with sequential therapy, the eradication rate was not significant between groups (86.9% vs 86.0%). However, higher compliance was achieved with concomitant therapy than with sequential therapy.
CONCLUSION: The H. pylori eradication rate was higher for nonbismuth concomitant quadruple therapy than for triple therapy. Moreover, higher compliance was achieved with nonbismuth concomitant quadruple therapy than with sequential therapy. Thus, nonbismuth concomitant quadruple therapy should be the first-line treatment in Chinese regions.

Abstract
Background. The decline of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication rates with standard triple therapy resulted in a search for novel therapies for first-line therapy of H. pylori infection. Aim. The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of concomitant therapy with sequential therapy as the first-line therapy of H. pylori eradication. Methods. We reviewed medical records of patients who were confirmed to have H. pylori infection and received eradication treatment from September 2012 to March 2015. The concomitant group was treated with rabeprazole, amoxicillin, clarithromycin, and metronidazole for 7 days. The sequential group was treated with rabeprazole and amoxicillin for 5 days and then rabeprazole, clarithromycin, and metronidazole for an additional 5 days. Six weeks after the treatment period, patients in both groups underwent 13C-Urea breath test (UBT) to confirm H. pylori eradication. Results. The eradication rate was 90.3% in the concomitant group and 85.5% in the sequential group. However, the eradication rates between the two groups showed no statistical difference (P = 0.343). Conclusion. No statistical difference was found in eradication rates between the two groups. However, in areas where antibiotic resistance is high, concomitant therapy may be more effective than sequential therapy for H. pylori eradication.

Abstract
Infection with the Gram-negative pathogen Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) has been associated with gastro-duodenal disease and the importance of H. pylori eradication is underscored by its designation as a group I carcinogen. The standard triple therapy consists of a proton pump inhibitor, amoxicillin and clarithromycin, although many other regimens are used, including quadruple, sequential and concomitant therapy regimens supplemented with metronidazole, clarithromycin and levofloxacin. Despite these efforts, current therapeutic regimens lack efficacy in eradication due to antibiotic resistance, drug compliance and antibiotic degradation by the acidic stomach environment. Antibiotic resistance to clarithromycin and metronidazole is particularly problematic and several approaches have been proposed to overcome this issue, such as complementary probiotic therapy with Lactobacillus. Other studies have identified novel molecules with an anti-H. pylori effect, as well as tailored therapy and nanotechnology as viable alternative eradication strategies. This review discusses current antibiotic therapy for H. pylori infections, limitations of this type of therapy and predicts the availability of newly developed therapies for H. pylori eradication.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori is a common worldwide bacterium, possessing adaptability that has created difficulty achieving eradication. While the standard treatment was thought to be triple therapy with a proton pump inhibitor, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin, growing rates of treatment failure and antibiotic resistance have stimulated research into novel regimens. Quadruple therapy with bismuth has been compared for both first- and second-line treatments, but eradication still has not reached expected goals. Innovative regimens including sequential and concomitant therapy, as well as the introduction of new antibiotics into previous treatment schedules, have shown promising improvements in eradication rates. We discuss and compare these unique regimens, reviewing the current literature to deduce those which are most likely to provide the highest success in curing H. pylori infection.

Abstract
Many interesting articles have been published from many parts of the world over the last year assessing different issues around Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy. This article will address the published literature over the last year pertaining to the topic of treatment of H. pylori infection. The main themes that emerge are assessing the efficacy of standard triple therapy, as well as exploring new first-line treatments, mainly optimized nonbismuth- and bismuth-containing quadruple therapies with some promising data also emerging on dual therapy. There was also considerable progress in investigating antibiotic resistance rates with much more data emerging from varied parts of the world compared to recent years. There have also been advances in the use of adjunctive therapies, especially probiotic therapies. Undoubtedly, the eradication of H. pylori remains a worthwhile goal to alleviate the burden of diseases caused by the complications of this infection, including dyspepsia, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric cancer.
