Abstract:
AIM:To evaluate the efficacy of sequential vs hybrid therapy in patients with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. METHODS:From March 2013 to May 2014, one hundred and seventy-five H. pylori infected patients who had not been treated for H. pylori before were randomized to receive either sequential therapy (rabeprazole 20 mg and amoxicillin 1 g twice daily for 5 d, followed by rabeprazole 20 mg, clarithromycin 500 mg and metronidazole 500 mg twice daily for 5 d) or hybrid therapy (rabeprazole 20 mg and amoxicillin 1 g for 7 d, followed by rabeprazole 20 mg, amoxicillin 1 g, clarithromycin 500 mg and metronidazole 500 mg twice daily for 7 d). H. pylori status was confirmed by positive results of both rapid urease test and histology examination or a positive result of culture. Eradication efficacy was assessed by follow-up endoscopy with rapid urease test and histological examination 8 wk after the end of anti-H. pylori therapy, or (13)C-urea breath test at least 4 wk after completion of treatment. The primary outcome was H. pylori eradication by intention-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) analyses. RESULTS:One hundred and sixty-seven patients (83 patients in the sequential group and 84 patients in the hybrid group) completed the study. The compliance rates were 97.6% and 97.7% for the two groups, respectively. The eradication rate was 78.2% for the sequential group and 92% for the hybrid group by ITT analysis (P = 0.01). The eradication rate was 81.9% for the sequential group and 96.4% for the hybrid group by PP analysis (P = 0.01). Univariate analysis for the clinical and bacterial factors did not identify any risk factors associated with treatment failure. Severe adverse events were observed in 2.3% of patients in the sequential group and 2.4% of those in the hybrid group. CONCLUSION:Due to a grade A (> 95%) success rate for H. pylori eradication by PP analysis, similar compliance and adverse events, hybrid therapy seems to be an appropriate eradication regimen in Taiwan.
