Lee CM, Kim SJ, Hah SI, Kwak JY, Choi JW, Cho HC, Ha CY, Lee OJ, Jung WT. Comparison of eradication rates of moxifloxacin-rifabutin triple therapy and bismuth quadruple therapy as second-line regimens in patients with peptic ulcers. Health Sci Rep 2022; 5:e780. [PMID: 36032516 PMCID: PMC9399443 DOI: 10.1002/hsr2.780] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2021] [Revised: 02/19/2022] [Accepted: 02/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Bismuth quadruple (BQ) therapy is known to have poor patient compliance and a complex dosing method, and no appropriate third-line regimen exists if second-line BQ therapy fails. In Korea, some alternative regimens have shown unsatisfactory eradication rates. Therefore, we investigated the success rates of the second-line moxifloxacin-rifabutin triple (MRT) regimen and compared it with BQ regimen in subgroup analysis of peptic ulcer patients. Materials and Methods This study was a retrospective study of 71 patients who underwent a second-line MRT for Helicobacter pylori after failing to clarithromycin triple regimen. To compare the eradication rate in gastric ulcer patients, 51 patients in the MRT group and 132 patients in BQ group were included. After age and sex propensity matching, 45 patients were included in each group (the alpha value and power were set at 0.05% and 77%, respectively). Results The eradication rate in the MRT group was 69.0% (49/71) in the intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis and 77.8% (49/63) in the per-protocol (PP) analysis. These were significantly lower than the eradication rate in the BQ group (82.5%, p = 0.019 in the ITT analysis; 89.3%, p = 0.022 in the PP analysis). In subgroup analysis of peptic ulcer patients, the success rate of BQ group was significantly higher than that of MRT group in both ITT and PP populations (81.8% (108/132) vs. 60.8% (31/51) in the ITT populations, p = 0.004; and 90.0% (108/120) vs. 72.1% (31/43) in the PP populations, p = 0.010). Among the 14 patients with MRT therapy failure, 10 were eradicated with BQ as the third-line regimen. The eradication rate of the third-line BQ after the second-line MRT failure was 90.0% (9/10). Conclusion Second-line MRT therapy was not as effective as BQ therapy, so it should be considered for limited use only when BQ is not available.

Efficacy and safety of low-dose rifabutin-based 7-day triple therapy as a third- or later-line Helicobacter pylori eradication regimen. Helicobacter 2022; 27:e12900. [PMID: 35644041 PMCID: PMC9539484 DOI: 10.1111/hel.12900] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2021] [Revised: 04/30/2022] [Accepted: 05/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Rifabutin-based regimens are used as rescue therapy for refractory Helicobacter pylori infection; however, the duration for which treatment is required and side effects are concerning. This study assessed the efficacy and safety of 7-day rifabutin, amoxicillin, and vonoprazan triple therapy as third- or later-line treatment for H. pylori infection. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who did not respond to second-line therapy were enrolled. After H. pylori infection was confirmed with the culture method, the patients received rifabutin-containing triple therapy (20 mg vonoprazan b.i.d., 500 mg amoxicillin q.i.d., and 150 mg rifabutin q.d.) for 7 days. Twelve weeks after the eradication therapy, successful eradication was confirmed using a 13 C urea breath test or the H. pylori stool antigen test. The results obtained from our previous study that reported a 10-day or 14-day esomeprazole based rifabutin-containing triple therapy as a third- or fourth-line rescue therapy treated patients were used as historical control. We determined the minimum inhibitory concentrations of amoxicillin and rifabutin. We also evaluated whether the patients were positive for the mutation of the rpoB gene. RESULTS Intention-to-treat and per-protocol analyses showed that our regimen resulted in a high eradication rate (91.2%, 95% CI: 84%-99% and 92.7%, 95% CI: 86%-100%, respectively). Adverse events occurred in 31.6% of the patients, and two patients discontinued the therapy. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a 7-day low-dose rifabutin-based triple therapy with vonoprazan and amoxicillin. Our results suggest that our regimen was effective and safe as a third- or later-line H. pylori eradication regimen. To clarify what component in this regimen are critical, subsequent studies using a factorial design (comparing vonoprazan-amoxicillin dual therapy vs. vonoprazan-rifabutin triple therapy) will be needed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Helicobacter pylori causes dyspepsia, peptic ulcer, and gastric malignancies. Treatments for Helicobacter pylori are mostly empirical depending on regional antibiotic resistances and the patient's history and less frequently susceptibility guided. Helicobacter pylori has a low resistance to rifabutin and has been proposed as an alternative for third-line treatment and beyond but recently has also gained attention for use as first- and second-line treatment. AREAS COVERED In this review, the authors systematically searched medical databases in order to present the current eradication rates for any treatment based on the two antibiotics, rifabutin and amoxicillin with a potent acid inhibitor. They also assessed the safety and tolerance of all the relative regimens. EXPERT OPINION Treatment with a rifabutin- and amoxicillin-containing regimen is a valuable option when treating difficult to eradicate Helicobacter pylori infections. Its efficacy is overall 71.4%, and it is not influenced by previous antibiotics, gender, smoking habits, and age. Its results were better when used as a first- or second-line treatment. In third-line therapy and beyond, eradication rates are lower. Adverse effects of all rifabutin regimens occurred in 23% of patients and were mostly mild with bone marrow suppression being very low and reversible.

Abstract
Nowadays, apart from having to know first-line Helicobacter pylori eradication regimens well, we must also be prepared to face treatment failures. The aim of this review is to summarize the role of rifabutin in the management of H. pylori infection. Bibliographical searches were performed in PubMed. Data on resistance and efficacy of rifabutin-containing regimens on H. pylori eradication were meta-analyzed. Mean H. pylori rifabutin resistance rate (39 studies, including 9721 patients) was 0.13%; when studies only including patients naïve to H. pylori eradication treatment were considered, this figure was even lower (0.07%). Mean H. pylori eradication rate (by intention-to-treat) with rifabutin-containing regimens (3052 patients) was 73%. Respective cure rates for second-, third-, fourth- and fifth-line therapies, were 79%, 69%, 69% and 72%. Most studies administered rifabutin 300 mg/day, which seemed to be more effective than 150 mg/day. The ideal length of treatment remains unclear, but 10–12-day regimens are generally recommended. Adverse events to rifabutin treatment in H. pylori studies were relatively infrequent (15%), and severe adverse events were exceptional (myelotoxicity was the most significant, although always reversible). In summary, rifabutin-containing therapy represents an encouraging strategy generally restricted, at present, to patients where previous (usually multiple) eradication regimens have failed.

Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii has among the highest rates of antibiotic resistance encountered in hospitals. New therapies are critically needed. We found that rifabutin has previously unrecognized hyperactivity against most strains of A. baumannii. Here we review the pharmacology and adverse effects of rifabutin to inform potential oral dosing strategies in patients with A. baumannii infections. Rifabutin demonstrates dose-dependent increases in blood levels up to 900 mg per day, but plateaus thereafter. Furthermore, rifabutin induces its own metabolism after prolonged dosing, lowering its blood levels. Pending future development of an intravenous formulation, a rifabutin oral dose of 900-1200 mg per day for 1 week is a rational choice for adjunctive therapy of A. baumannii infections. This dosage maximizes AUC24 to drive efficacy while simultaneously minimizing toxicity. Randomized controlled trials will be needed to definitively establish the safety and efficacy of rifabutin to treat A. baumannii infections.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori eradication has become increasingly challenging. We focused on recent data about rifamycin resistance and rifamycin-containing regimens. Rifampin (rifampicin) resistance rates were <1-18.8% (often ≤7%), while those to rifabutin were 0-<4%. To detect rifabutin resistance by rifampin, 4 mg/l breakpoint was suggested. Eradication success by rifaximin-based regimens was disappointing (<62%), while that of rifabutin-containing regimens was 54.5->96%, reaching >81% in four studies. Some newer rifamycin analogs like TNP-2092 need further investigation. Briefly, although rifabutin-based regimens carry a risk of adverse effects or increasing mycobacterial resistance, they may be a rational choice for some multidrug-resistant H. pylori strains and as a third-line eradication therapy. Bismuth addition to rifabutin-based therapy and combined rifabutin-containing capsules (Talicia) are promising treatment options.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance is the major reason for Helicobacter pylori treatment failure, and the increasing frequency of antibiotic resistance is a challenge for clinicians. Resistance to clarithromycin and metronidazole is a particular problem. The standard triple therapy (proton pump inhibitor, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin) is no longer appropriate as the first-line treatment in most areas. Recent guidelines for the treatment of H. pylori infection recommend a quadruple regimen (bismuth or non-bismuth) as the first-line therapy. This treatment strategy is effective for areas with high resistance to clarithromycin or metronidazole, but the resistance rate inevitably increases as a result of prolonged therapy with multiple antibiotics. Novel potassium-competitive acid blocker-based therapy may be effective, but the data are limited. Tailored therapy based on antimicrobial susceptibility test results is ideal. This review discussed the current important regimens for H. pylori treatment and the optimum H. pylori eradication strategy.

Abstract
Background/Aims The Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication rate of standard triple therapy is unsatisfactory in Korea, and sequential therapy (SQT) has been suggested to be a practical first-line alternative regimen. The aim of this prospective study was to document changes in annual eradication rates of SQT. Methods A total of 983 H. pylori-positive subjects were enrolled from 2010 to 2018 and their data were subjected to intention-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) analysis. All subjects received 10-day sequential therapy consisting of 40 mg esomeprazole and 1 g amoxicillin b.i.d for 5 days followed by 40 mg esomeprazole b.i.d, 500 mg clarithromycin b.i.d and 500 mg metronidazole t.i.d for 5 days. The 13C-urea breath test, rapid urease test (CLO test®), and histology were used to confirm eradication. Compliance and side effects were also investigated. Results ITT and PP eradication rates of SQT were 69.9% (687 of 983) and 87.1% (657 of 754), respectively. The annual eradication rate of ITT remained consistent over the 8-year study period (p for trend=0.167), whereas PP analysis showed the eradication rate increased (p for trend=0.042). The overall adverse event rate for SQT was 41.7% (410 subjects). Conclusions Despite high antibiotic resistance rates in Korea, the eradication rate of SQT did not decrease over the 8-year study period.

Abstract
Background/Aim. In Korea, the rate of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication has declined steadily as a result of increasing resistance to antibiotics, especially dual resistance to clarithromycin and metronidazole. However, microbiological culture data on drug-resistant H. pylori is lacking. This study evaluated the antimicrobial efficacy of candidate antibiotics against resistant H. pylori strains. Methods. After retrospectively reviewing the data from the Helicobacter Registry in Gil Medical Center (GMC) and Asan Medical Center (AMC), along with 4 reference strains, we selected the 31 single- or multidrug-resistant strains. The susceptibility of the H. pylori strains to seven antibiotics (clarithromycin, metronidazole, levofloxacin, amoxicillin, tetracycline, rifabutin, and furazolidone) and minimum inhibitory concentration were tested using the broth microdilution technique. Results. Among 31 antibiotic resistance strains for H. pylori, there were no strains resistant to rifabutin or furazolidone, which had MICs of <0.008 and 0.5 μg/mL, respectively. Only one tetracycline-resistant strain was found (MIC < 2 μg/mL). Amoxicillin and levofloxacin were relatively less effective against the H. pylori strains compared to rifabutin or furazolidone (resistance rates 22.6%, 1.9%, respectively). Tetracycline showed the relatively low resistance rates (3.2%) for H. pylori strains. Conclusions. Therefore, along with tetracycline which has already been used as a component for second-line eradication regimen for Helicobacter, rifabutin and furazolidone, alone or in combination, could be used to eradicate antibiotic-resistant H. pylori strains where drug-resistant Helicobacter spp. are increasing.

Abstract
AIM To characterize punctual mutations in 23S rRNA gene of clarithromycin-resistant Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and determine their association with therapeutic failure.
METHODS PCR products of 23S rRNA gene V domain of 74 H. pylori isolates; 34 resistant to clarithromycin (29 from a low-risk gastric cancer (GC) population: Tumaco-Colombia, and 5 from a high-risk population: Tuquerres-Colombia) and 40 from a susceptible population (28 from Tumaco and 12 from Túquerres) were sequenced using capillary electrophoresis. The concordance between mutations of V domain 23S rRNA gene of H. pylori and therapeutic failure was determined using the Kappa coefficient and McNemar’s test was performed to determine the relationship between H. pylori mutations and clarithromycin resistance.
RESULTS 23S rRNA gene from H. pylori was amplified in 56/74 isolates, of which 25 were resistant to clarithromycin (20 from Tumaco and 5 from Túquerres, respectively). In 17 resistant isolates (13 from Tumaco and 4 from Túquerres) the following mutations were found: A1593T1, A1653G2, C1770T, C1954T1, and G1827C in isolates from Tumaco, and A2144G from Túquerres. The mutations T2183C, A2144G and C2196T in H. pylori isolates resistant to clarithromycin from Colombia are reported for the first time. No association between the H. pylori mutations and in vitro clarithromycin resistance was found. However, therapeutic failure of eradication treatment was associated with mutations of 23S rRNA gene in clarithromycin-resistant H. pylori (κ = 0.71).
CONCLUSION The therapeutic failure of eradication treatment in the two populations from Colombia was associated with mutations of the 23S rRNA gene in clarithromycin-resistant H. pylori.

Abstract
This review summarizes important studies regarding Helicobacter pylori therapy published from April 2016 to April 2017. The main themes that emerge involve studies assessing the efficacy of bismuth and nonbismuth quadruple regimens. While in recent years, much of the emphasis on the use of bismuth has focussed on its utility in a second-line setting, an increasing number of studies this year have shown excellent efficacy in first-line therapy. The efficacy of bismuth as a second-line after sequential and concomitant therapy was particularly noteworthy. Antibiotic resistance was more intensely studied this year than for a long time, and definite trends are presented regarding an increase in resistance, including the fact that clarithromycin resistance in particular is now at a level where the continued use of clarithromycin triple therapy first-line as a mainstream treatment is not recommended. Another exciting trend to emerge this year is the utility of vonoprazan as an alternative to PPI therapy, especially in resistant and difficult-to-treat groups.
