About this trial

Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori, Hp) is a major etiological agent in chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, gastric cancer, and gastric MALT lymphoma. Guideline recommend antimicrobial susceptibility testing following initial treatment failure to guide personalized therapy and improve eradication rates. However, conventional susceptibility testing faces two major limitations: 1) reliance on invasive endoscopic biopsy for tissue acquisition, and 2) dependency on bacterial culture, which is complex and time-consuming. Fecal-based antimicrobial resistance gene testing overcomes these barriers, offering distinct advantages of being non-invasive, rapid and accurate, thereby improving patient compliance. This study aims to elucidate the diagnostic value of fecal nucleic acid testing for H. pyloriinfection and to evaluate the eradication rate and safety of tailored triple therapy regimens selected based on fecal resistance gene profiles.

No use of PPIs, H2-receptor antagonists, antibiotics, or bismuth agents within 4 weeks;

History of having received one previous, standardized Hp eradication therapy.

Disqualifiers

History of gastric or duodenal surgery;

Concurrent presence of other serious conditions such as cardiac, hepatic, or renal dysfunction, malignant tumors, or other severe internal diseases;

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Personalized treatment based on the results of fecal antimicrobial resistance gene testing

    Drug

    Personalized treatment: Patients sensitive to clarithromycin are assigned to the Clarithromycin Group (receiving a regimen of vonoprazan, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin); Patients resistant to clarithromycin but sensitive to levofloxacin are assigned to the Levofloxacin Group (receiving vonoprazan, amoxicillin, and levofloxacin); Patients resistant to both clarithromycin and levofloxacin are assigned to the Tetracycline Group (receiving vonoprazan, amoxicillin, and tetracycline). The treatment duration for all groups is 10 days. The specific dosages and administration methods are as follows: Vonoprazan: 20 mg, twice daily (BID) Amoxicillin: 1.0 g, twice daily (BID) Clarithromycin: 0.5 g, twice daily (BID) Levofloxacin: 0.5 g, once daily (QD) Tetracycline: 0.5 g, three times daily (TID)

  • Conventional Quadruple Therapy

    Drug

    Conventional Quadruple Therapy: Vonoprazan 20mg BID; Colloidal Bismuth Pectin 220mg BID; Amoxicillin 1.0g BID; tetracycline 0.5g TID. Treatment duration: 14 days.
