| Summary: | The treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection remains a challenge. None of the proposed treatment regimens has resulted in a 100% eradication rate. The aim of our study was to compare the rate of H. pylori eradication after standard or dose-optimized amoxicillin quadruple therapy. We conducted a prospective comparative study collating patients naive to any anti-H. pylori treatment and with chronic H. pylori infection documented by histological examination. Patients were randomly assigned to either standard quadruple therapy or optimized quadruple therapy. Eradication control was performed by urea breath test. Eighty-eight eligible patients were included with 44 in each group.There was no significant difference between the eradication rates of Qo-14 and Qs-14 neither in ITT (84 vs 70.4%; p = 0.127) nor in PP (82.1 vs 77.7%; p = 0.473). Compliance and tolerance appeared similar in each group. |
