Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of rifabutin triple therapy for the treatment of H. pylori infection in the Israeli population. Patients with or without a prior history of H. pylori eradication failure will be randomized to receive one of three possible treatments:
Group 1-amoxicillin 1000mg bd and rifabutin 150 mg bd and esomeprazole 40 mg bd Group 2- amoxicillin 1000mg bd and rifabutin 150 mg d and esomeprazole 40 mg bd Group 3- standard of care

Phase 3 |
Detailed Description
Patients who present to the outpatient gastroenterology clinic at our institution with a positive diagnostic test for H pylori will be screened. Included patients will undergo randomisation into 3 groups. Randomization will be performed by a random sequence generator to create equal sized groups in boxes of 12.
Group 1-amoxicillin 1000mg bd and rifabutin 150 mg bd and esomeprazole 40 mg bd Group 2- amoxicillin 1000mg bd and rifabutin 150 mg d and esomeprazole 40 mg bd Group 3- standard of care Standard of care in previously untreated patients will consist of concomitant treatment (amoxicillin 1000mg, clarithromycin 500 mg, tinidazole 500 mg and esomeprazole all given twice daily for 14 days). In previously treated patients standard of care will consist of bismuth quadruple therapy, quinolone based therapy, or other susceptibility guided treatment where available.
Treatment duration will be 14 days in all groups. Patients who are randomised to Group 3 and fail treatment will be offered open label rescue treatment with amoxicillin 1000mg bd, rifabutin 150 mg bd and esomeprazole 40 mg bd (14 days).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Success of H. pylori treatment [6 weeks following end of treatment]
Negative 13C-urea breath test or Helicobacter pylori Stool Ag
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events [14 days treatment]
Daily entry of Likert scale (0-10) for the following parameters: diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, dyspepsia, reflux, loss of appetite, asthenia and others (free text). Adverse effects leading to treatment discontinuation. Serious adverse events leading to leading to patient's hospitalization, disability, or death, or to birth defects on pregnant patients
- Compliance with H. pylori treatment [14 days treatment]
Assessed by diary entry twice daily. If more than 80% of pills taken, patient considered to be treatment compliant.
