ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
A reliably highly effective high-dose proton-pump inhibitor plus amoxicillin (dual Helicobacter pylori therapy) has remained elusive. We compared whether the addition of bismuth to high-dose dual therapy would improve the efficacy of high-dose dual therapy as first-line treatment.METHODS:
This was an open-label, randomized single-center study of 160 treatment-naive patients with H. pylori infection who were randomly assigned to 14-day therapy with esomeprazole 40 mg twice a day plus amoxicillin 1 g three times a day with or without bismuth potassium citrate 600 mg (elemental bismuth 220 mg) twice a day. Antibiotic resistance was determined by agar dilution method and eradication by 13 C-urea breath test.RESULTS:
The per-protocol eradication rates were 96.1%; 95% CI = 88.9%-99.2% (73/76) without bismuth vs 93.3%; 95% CI = 85.1%-97.8% (70/75) with bismuth (P = 0.494). The intention-to-treat eradication rates were 92.5%; 95% CI = 84.4%-97.2% (74/80) without bismuth and 88.8%; 95% CI = 79.7%-94.7% (71/80) with bismuth (P = 0.416). Resistance to amoxicillin, clarithromycin, metronidazole, and levofloxacin was 0%, 31.7%, 81.4%, and 40.7%, respectively. Smoking reduced treatment effectiveness limited to those not receiving bismuth. The per-protocol eradication rates were 70% (7/10) vs 100% (66/66) in smokers vs non-smokers without bismuth (P = 0.002), and 100% (10/10) in smokers vs 92.3% (60/65) in non-smokers with bismuth (P = 1.0). The adverse event rates were 7.5% (6/80) without bismuth vs 11.3% (9/80) with bismuth (P = 0.416).CONCLUSIONS:
Fourteen-day high-dose dual therapy was both effective and safe for first-line treatment in a region of high prevalence antibiotic resistance. Adding bismuth only improved treatment effectiveness among smokers.Palavras-chave
