Efficacy of Antibiotic Susceptibility-based Tailored Versus Empiric Therapy for Helicobacter Pylori First-line Treatment:a Randomized Clinical Trial

ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2018

382 participants

Abstract

With markedly increased antibiotic resistance and unsatisfactory efficacies of common empiric eradication regimens in the mainland of China, tailored therapy may be the best choice to achieve good efficacy. This study compared the eradication rates, safety, and compliance of antibiotic sensitivity-based tailored therapy compared with empiric bismuth quadruple therapy in the naive patients with Helicobacter pylori infection.

Conditions: Helicobacter Pylori Infection.

Primary outcome: Helicobacter pylori eradication rate.

Enrollment: 382 participants.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 382 participants or records.
