Pantoprazole-based 10-day triple therapy is effective in Helicobacter pylori eradication

Aim:

To investigate the efficacy of a short course of pantoprazole-based triple therapy in Helicobater pylori eradication in a single-centre pilot study.

Methods:

Patients with active or healed duodenal ulcer or with gastric erosions or gastritis, all of whom were H. pylori-positive, received 10 days of twice-daily open treatment with pantoprazole 40 mg, plus clarithromycin 250 mg and tinidazole 500 mg. H. pylori was assessed at entry and 28–35 days after the end of treatment by rapid urease test (at entry only), culture and antimicrobial sensitivity, histology and ¹³ C urea breath test. The criterion for eradication was a negative result in all three tests.

Results:

Seventy patients were treated, of whom four were excluded from analysis due to major deviations from the study protocol. Eradication of H. pylori was achieved in 57/66 patients (per protocol analysis 86% (95% CI: 78–95%)) and was higher in patients with organisms sensitive to nitroimidazole before treatment (sensitive: 47/53 (89%), insensitive: 10/13 (77%)). There was marked reduction in acute gastritis throughout the stomach while chronic gastritis decreased only in the corpus. Healing was achieved in all 24 patients with active duodenal ulcer. Treatment was complied with; only one patient missed one of the 20 doses. Adverse events were of mild or moderate intensity and did not require withdrawal from treatment.

Conclusion:

A short course of pantoprazole-based triple therapy is well tolerated and effective in eradicating H. pylori.

     

Rabeprazole-based therapy in Helicobacter pylori eradication

Rabeprazole's favourable pharmacodynamic profile is a result of its rapid onset and its 24-h control of gastric parietal secretion. These qualities, and its antimicrobial properties, make it particularly effective in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ), which is a short course of treatment compared to other conditions treated with proton pump inhibitors. Recently completed trials in combination with amoxicillin, clarithromycin and metronidazole for 7 days achieved high eradication of H. pylori . An additional study assessing the efficacy of combined rabeprazole and antibiotic treatments of 3, 7, and 10 days' duration vs. FDA-approved 10-day omeprazole triple therapy is under way to address the possibility of shorter duration therapies in the USA.     

The sequential therapy regimen for Helicobacter pylori eradication

Importance of the field: Standard triple therapy (STT) is the most used treatment for Helicobater pylori infection. The prevalence of antibiotic resistance has increased substantially in recent years and there has been a corresponding decrease in efficacy.

Areas covered in this review: Bibliographical searches were performed in MEDLINE and international congresses up to 2009 for ‘Helicobacter pylori’ AND ‘sequential regimen/therapy’.

What the reader will gain: Several meta-analyses have demonstrated that sequential therapy (SQT) is more effective than STT. SQT is not affected by bacterial and host factors that have, until now, predicted the outcome of STT. Primary clarithromycin resistance is the only factor reducing the efficacy of SQT; however, even in these patients an acceptable >?75% eradication can be achieved. So far, almost all the studies have been performed in Italy. The advantages of SQT over STT should be confirmed in different countries. Whether it is necessary to provide the drugs sequentially or if the four components of SQT can be given concurrently is unclear.

Take home message: SQT is a promising new treatment approach that deserves consideration as a treatment strategy for H. pylori infection. However, further robust assessment across a much broader range of patients is required before SQT could supplant existing treatment regimens and be generally recommended in clinical practice.     

First-line triple therapy with levofloxacin for Helicobacter pylori eradication

BACKGROUND: At present, the efficacy of proton pump inhibitor-clarithromycin-amoxicillin regimen is relatively low. AIM: To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of a first-line triple clarithromycin-free regimen including ranitidine bismuth citrate, levofloxacin and amoxicillin. METHODS: Design: Prospective study. Patients: Helicobacter pylori-positive patients complaining of dyspeptic symptoms referred for gastroscopy. Intervention: Levofloxacin (500 mg b.d.), amoxicillin (1 g b.d.) and ranitidine bismuth citrate (400 mg b.d.) was prescribed for 10 days. Outcome: Eradication was confirmed by a (13)C-urea breath test 8 weeks after therapy. Compliance with therapy was determined by questioning and the recovery of empty envelopes of medications. Incidence of adverse effects was evaluated by means of a specific questionnaire. RESULTS: Sixty-four patients were included (30% peptic ulcer, 70% functional dyspepsia). Almost all (97%) patients took all the medications correctly. Per-protocol and intention-to-treat eradication rates were 88.5% (95% CI =78-95%) and 84.4 (74-91%). Adverse effects were reported in 9.5% of the patients, mainly including diarrhoea (7.9%); none of them were severe. CONCLUSION: This new 10-day levofloxacin-based combination represents an alternative to clarithromycin-based therapy, as it meets the criteria set for regimens used as primary H. pylori treatment: effectiveness (>80%), simplicity (twice-daily dosing and excellent compliance) and safety (low incidence of adverse effects).

Bismuth-containing single-antibiotic 1-week triple therapy for Helicobacter pylori eradication

Background:

Although bismuth was both the first drug shown to alter the natural history of peptic ulcer disease and also a constituent of the first very effective eradication regimens, it has been excluded from the newer regimens, despite its safety and low cost, in favour of two antibiotics.

Aim:

To asses a novel 1-week regimen consisting of bismuth, clarithromycin and a proton pump inhibitor in routine clinical practice.

Methods:

One hundred and three consecutive patients with peptic ulcer disease and antral biopsies containing Helicobacter pylori were given a 7-day course of treatment with bismuth (tripotassium dicitrato bismuthate chelate) 120 mg q.d.s., clarithromycin 500 mg t.d.s. and lansoprazole 30 mg o.d. Completeness of eradication was assessed by a ¹³C-urea breath test, in all except three patients, at least 4 months later.

Results:

Of the 100 patients who were assessed in this open treatment study 84 (84%; 95% CI: 77–91%) had a negative breath test. Minor side-effects were reported by 14% and more troublesome side-effects (nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, hallucinations, nasty taste and body pains) were reported by 10%.

Conclusions:

A 1-week course of triple therapy including bismuth, clarithromycin and a proton pump inhibitor is effective in routine clinical practice and is well tolerated.

     

One-week clarithromycin triple therapy regimens for eradication of Helicobacter pylori

Background:

One-week triple therapies have been endorsed as the treatment regimens of choice for eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection. Those that include clarithromycin appear to be the most effective.

Aim:

To review reports of triple therapies that include clarithromycin.

Methods:

Reports were identified from the literature to May 1998. The variation between study designs prevents a formal meta-analysis. A measure of the relative efficacies of regimens has, however, been gained by comparison and by pooling of intention-to-treat eradication rates.

Results:

One hundred and ninety-two studies were identified which included 264 treatment arms of a 1-week triple therapy composed of clarithromycin with amoxycillin or a nitroimidazole (metronidazole or tinidazole), and either ranitidine bismuth citrate or a proton pump inhibitor (omeprazole, lansoprazole or pantoprazole). From reports of these studies, an intention-to-treat H. pylori eradication rate could be determined from 210 treatment arms of 151 studies.

Conclusions:

There is little to choose between the efficacies of 1-week clarithromycin-based triple therapy eradication regimens. However, those comprising clarithromycin, a nitroimidazole and either ranitidine bismuth citrate or a high dose of omeprazole are, in general, the most effective. Against antibiotic-resistant strains of H. pylori, regimens including ranitidine bismuth citrate may be more effective than those including a proton pump inhibitor.

     

Age-dependent eradication of Helicobacter pylori with dual therapy

Background: Combined treatment using an acid-inhibiting drug with antibiotics can cure Helicobacter pylori infection. However, eradication rates are highly variable, especially if a proton pump inhibitor is used with amoxycillin. Therefore it is important to define factors/predictors of the clinical outcome. Methods: In a single-blind study, 60 H. pylori-positive patients prospectively matched for diagnosis (erosive gastritis, duodenal and gastric ulcer), age (above and below 50 years) and smoking habits were randomly treated (each group n = 20) for 2 weeks with amoxycillin (1 mg b.d.) and either omeprazole (20 mg b.d.), lansoprazole (30 mg b.d.) or ranitidine (300 mg b.d.). Intragastric pH and plasma levels of the administered drugs were monitored over a dosing interval of 12 h. Results: The overall eradication rates were 45% (intention-to-treat, ITT, 27/60) or 47% (per protocol 27/58); they did not differ (ITT) between omeprazole (50%), lansoprazole (40%) and ranitidine (45%). Median pH and time at which intragastric pH was above 4 was slightly lower for ranitidine (4.0 ± 1.7; 51 ± 25%) than for omeprazole (5.4 ± 1.1; 77 ± 25%; P < 0.05) or lansoprazole (4.4 ± 1.6; 68 ± 32%). Plasma concentrations of amoxycillin were comparable in all three treatment groups. Post-treatment H. pylori status was not dependent on those levels, or the drug-induced extent or duration of increased intragastric pH. However, H. pylori-eradicated patients were significantly (P < 0.05) older (56 ± 13 years) than patients still H. pylori-positive (47 ± 14 years). In addition, in patients older than 50 years (n = 33), eradication was higher (P < 0.01) than in patients (n = 25) below 50 years (65 vs. 24%). Eradication rate was highest (75–83%) in subgroups of patients (>50 years and history of peptic ulcer or smokers). Neither activity/grade of peptic ulcer or erosive gastritis nor initial diagnosis were predictors for clinical outcome. Conclusion: The age of patients must be regarded as a major determinant of H. pylori eradication rate and may represent an important factor contributing to the highly variable clinical results.     

A new 1-week therapy for Helicobacter pylori eradication: rani- tidine bismuth citrate plus two antibiotics

Background: One-week triple regimens are currently the most recommended therapy for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori. No previous study has evaluated the efficacy of a short-term regimen combining ranitidine bismuth citrate with two antibiotics. Methods: Seventy-two consecutive H. pylori-positive dyspeptic patients were recruited for this randomized, three-centre, open, parallel-group study. They were subdivided into two groups receiving either ranitidine bismuth citrate 400 mg b.d. + clarithromycin 250 mg b.d. and metronidazole 500 mg b.d. (group A) or ranitidine bismuth citrate 400 mg b.d. + clarithromycin 250 mg b.d. and metronidazole 250 mg q.d.s (group B) for 1 week. H. pylori infection was assessed by CLO-test and histology on both antral and corpus biopsies before and at least 4 weeks after the end of therapy. The bacterium was considered eradicated when both tests were negative. Eradication rates and the number of side-effects were evaluated in each group. The Chi-squared test was used for statistical analysis. Results: One patient with only CLO-test positivity was erroneously randomized to group B and four patients dropped out of the study (two in group A and two in group B), mainly because they refused the second endoscopy. In group A, H. pylori was eradicated in 31 of 36 patients intention-to-treat = 86%; 95% CI = 71–95% and (per protocol 31/34 = 91%; 95% CI = 76–98%). Side-effects occurred in 10 patients (27%) and they were generally mild. In group B, H. pylori was eradicated in 29 of 35 patients (intention-to-treat = 83%; 95% CI = 66–93%; and per protocol 29/33 = 88%; 95% CI = 72–97%). Seven patients (20%) complained of modest side-effects. There was no significant difference between the two treatment arms (P = N.S.); no severe adverse events occurred and none of the patients was withdrawn from the study because of them. Conclusions: The co-administration of ranitidine bismuth citrate plus clarithromycin at low dosage and metronidazole in twice daily doses for 1 week is a short, effective and well-tolerated regimen for the eradication of H. pylori. These findings should provide the impetus for large-scale investigations.     

One-week triple therapy with esomeprazole provides effective eradication of Helicobacter pylori in duodenal ulcer disease

BACKGROUND: Esomeprazole is the first proton pump inhibitor to be developed as an optical isomer for the treatment of acid-related diseases. METHODS: Four hundred and forty eight duodenal ulcer patients with Helicobacter pylori infection, confirmed by 13C-urea breath test (UBT), and no current ulcer, were randomised to double-blind treatment with esomeprazole 20 mg twice daily (b.d.) (n=224) or omeprazole 20 mg b.d. (n=224), in combination with amoxicillin 1 g b.d. and clarithromycin 500 mg b.d. for 1 week (EAC and OAC, respectively). A negative UBT at both 4 and 8 weeks after completing therapy indicated successful H. pylori eradication. RESULTS: Intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis comprised 400 patients (EAC, n=204; OAC, n=196) and per protocol (PP) analysis 377 patients (EAC, n=192; OAC, n=185). Eradication rates (95% confidence intervals) for ITT and PP populations were: EAC, 90% (85-94%) and 91% (86-94%); OAC, 88% (82-92%) and 91% (86-95%). Between-group differences in eradication rates were not statistically significant. Both regimens were well tolerated, with an adverse event profile and frequency typical of proton pump inhibitor plus antibiotic combination therapy. CONCLUSIONS: Esomeprazole-based triple therapy for 1 week is highly effective in eradicating H. pylori infection in duodenal ulcer disease, offers comparable efficacy to omeprazole-based therapy, and is well tolerated.     

New strategies for Helicobacter pylori eradication

Helicobacter pylori infection is highly prevalent worldwide and is a major cause of diseases occurring in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Successful eradication therapy improves H. pylori-related symptoms in functional dyspepsia, cures peptic ulcer disease and may prevent gastric cancer. During the past decade, the success rate of recommended eradication regimens declined from over 90% to about 80%, a critical threshold for effectiveness of the therapy according to the current guidelines. This is mainly because of the rising antimicrobial resistance and underlines that it is imperative to develop new treatment approaches. The prevention of the initial infection by a suitable vaccination might be the new therapeutic strategy for the future.     

Morphological changes in human gastric tumours after eradication therapy of Helicobacter pylori in a short-term follow-up

BACKGROUND: It is controversial as to whether the development of gastric cancer is influenced by Helicobacter pylori eradication. If eradication itself influences the tumour morphology, this may affect the tumour discovery rate. AIM: To investigate the morphological changes in the gastric neoplasm after H. pylori eradication. METHODS: We studied 37 patients with eradication therapy. After a 1-month follow-up, endoscopic re-evaluation was performed and the appearance was compared with first image. All lesions were resected endoscopically, and were subjected to histological assessment and to immunohistochemistry. Serum gastrin levels were determined before and after eradication. RESULTS: Twenty-nine of 37 patients underwent successful eradication. The appearance of 11 lesions (33% of 33 lesions) became indistinct after successful eradication. All lesions were of the superficial-elevated type and the height of the lesions decreased. We detected normal columnar epithelium over the neoplasm in eight of the lesions. Higher expression of single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid in the deep area was characteristic in tumours with an indistinct appearance. These changes did not correlate with the serum gastrin levels. CONCLUSIONS: The morphology of the gastric neoplasm change after eradication in the short-term. This may contribute to the decreased tumour discovery rate.

Review article: rabeprazole-based therapy in Helicobacter pylori eradication

Rabeprazole's favourable pharmacodynamic profile is a result of its rapid onset and its 24-h control of gastric parietal secretion. These qualities, and its antimicrobial properties, make it particularly effective in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), which is a short course of treatment compared to other conditions treated with proton pump inhibitors. Recently completed trials in combination with amoxicillin, clarithromycin and metronidazole for 7 days achieved high eradication of H. pylori. An additional study assessing the efficacy of combined rabeprazole and antibiotic treatments of 3, 7, and 10 days' duration vs. FDA-approved 10-day omeprazole triple therapy is under way to address the possibility of shorter duration therapies in the USA.
