Arm Description

Patients in this group will receive a 10-day triple therapy for the Helicobacter pylori eradication. The regimen contains one proton pump inhibitor and two sensitive antibiotics determined by AST. The susceptibility of amoxicillin, clarithromycin, metronidazole, tinidazole, levofloxacin, furazolidone and tetracycline will be evaluated. Drugs: 1.one proton pump inhibitor: lansoprazole 30mg bid for 10d 2.two sensitive antibiotics: amoxicillin 1000mg bid for 10d, clarithromycin 500mg bid for 10d, metronidazole 500mg tid for 10d, tinidazole 500mg tid for 10d, levofloxacin 500mg qd for 10d, furazolidone 100mg bid for 10d, tetracycline 750mg bid for 10d.

Patients in this group will receive a 14-day bismuth-based quadruple therapy for the H.pylori eradication. The regimen contains one PPI, Colloidal Bismuth Pectin and two antibiotics based on personal medication history. If the patient has taken clarithromycin, roxithromycin and azithromycin for less than 2 weeks before, he will be treated with amoxicillin and clarithromycin. Otherwise, he will be treated with amoxicillin and furazolidone. Drugs: 1.one proton pump inhibitor: lansoprazole 30mg bid for 14d 2.Colloidal Bismuth Pectin 200mg bid for 14d 3.two antibiotics based on personal medication history: amoxicillin 1000mg bid and clarithromycin 500mg bid for 14d, amoxicillin 1000mg bid and furazolidone 100mg bid for 14d.

When the culture results are negative, patients will receive 14-day empirical tailored therapy based on personal medication history. Drugs: 1.one proton pump inhibitor: lansoprazole 30mg bid for 14d 2.Colloidal Bismuth Pectin 200mg bid for 14d 3.two antibiotics based on personal medication history: amoxicillin 1000mg bid and clarithromycin 500mg bid for 14d, amoxicillin 1000mg bid and furazolidone 100mg bid for 14d.

If patients failed with AST guided eradication therapy or empirical therapy, patients will be treated with another 14-day bismuth-based quadruple therapy. Drugs: 1.one proton pump inhibitor: lansoprazole 30mg bid for 14d 2.Colloidal Bismuth Pectin 200mg bid for 14d 3.two antibiotics for rescue therapy: tetracycline 750mg bid and furazolidone 100mg bid for 14d.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Eradication rates in 2 groups
Both intention to treat(ITT) and per-protocol(PP) analyses will be used for the assessment of the eradication rates of Helicobacter pylori infections in two groups. The ITT analysis includes all randomly assigned patients who take at least one dose of the study medications. The PP analysis is limited to patients who take over 90% of the study medications and complete follow-up.

Secondary Outcome Measures

The rate of improving dyspepsia symptoms after Helicobacter pylori eradication.
Dyspepsia symptoms will be measured using a 8-point Likert scale, and patients rate their symptoms from 0 (none) to 8 (severe) before and after the Helicobacter pylori eradication.
The rate of adverse events happening
Similarly, adverse events will also be measured by the Likert scale.
The rate of good compliance
Patients taken over 90% of drugs are considered to have a good compliance.
Difference of cost per patient for each eradication achieved in two groups

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy of 10-day antimicrobial susceptibility test guided triple therapy for the first-line treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection, then comparing it with 14-day empirical tailored therapy to tell which one has a better performance in both efficacy and safety.
Detailed Description
Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori), which infects about 50% of the global population, has been recognized as a main risk factor of multiple gastric pathologies, especially non-cardiac gastric cancer. Strongly evidence supports that H.pylori eradication is an effective approach to reduce the incidence of those pathologies. Antimicrobial susceptibility test can pick out sensitive drugs to kill Helicobacter pylori, and reduce secondary drug resistance. But, there is a lack of high quality RCT to compare its efficacy with empirical regimen in the first-line treatment. Our study aims to assess the efficacy of 10-day antimicrobial susceptibility test guided triple therapy for the first-line treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection. Comparing this regimen with 14-day Empirical Tailored Therapy to tell which one is better in clinic practice. We also want to find whether the 10-day antimicrobial susceptibility test guided triple therapy has less intestinal dysbacteriosis with a shorter duration.
