Doxycycline for Helicobacter Pylori Rescue Treatment
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Current guidelines have recommended classical bismuth-containing quadruple therapy including proton-pump inhibitor, bismuth, tetracycline, metronidazole as the empirical rescue therapy. However, tetracycline is clinically unavailable in China and the high frequency of adverse events of bismuth quadruple therapy often result in poor compliance, which limited the applicability of this recommendation. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and tolerability of a 14-day bismuth-containing quadruple rescue therapy in which tetracycline was replaced by doxycycline.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Helicobacter pylori eradication rate [Six weeks after completion of therapy]
Six weeks after completion of therapy, H. pylori eradication was assessed by ¹³C-urea breath test. Eradication was defined as negative result from urea breath test (<4‰) (4‰ as the cutoff value).
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Rate of adverse effects [Within 7 days after completion of therapy]
The subjects were asked to grade the severity of adverse events according to their influence on daily activities, experienced as "mild" (transient and well tolerated), "moderate" (causing discomfort and partially interfering with daily activities), or "severe" (causing considerable interference with daily activities)
- Compliance rate [Within 7 days after completion of therapy]
Compliance was defined as poor when they had taken less than 80% of the total medication
