Pylori Duo for Adjunctive Treatment and Prevention of Recurrence of Helicobacter Pylori Infection

Официальное название

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Pylori Duo as an Adjunctive Treatment and for the Prevention of Recurrence of Helicobacter Pylori Infection

Обзор

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-center clinical trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Pylori Duo as an adjunctive treatment in adult patients with confirmed Helicobacter pylori infection. Approximately 140 participants will be randomized to receive standard quadruple therapy (omeprazole plus Pylera®) combined with either placebo or Pylori Duo for 10 days, followed by placebo or Pylori Duo for 3 months. The primary objective is to assess the effect of Pylori Duo on gastrointestinal adverse effects associated with standard eradication therapy. Secondary objectives include assessment of H. pylori eradication, recurrence at 3 and 12 months, gastrointestinal symptoms, quality of life, and safety.

Подробное описание

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-center interventional clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Pylori Duo as an adjunctive treatment in adult patients with confirmed Helicobacter pylori infection. Approximately 140 patients aged 18 to 70 years with a positive 13C-urea breath test and gastric biopsy performed before study initiation will be enrolled.

Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two parallel treatment groups. Group A will receive standard quadruple therapy consisting of omeprazole plus Pylera® in combination with placebo for 10 days, followed by placebo for 3 months. Group B will receive the same standard quadruple therapy in combination with Pylori Duo for 10 days, followed by Pylori Duo for 3 months. Both investigators and participants will remain blinded to treatment allocation throughout the study.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of Pylori Duo on the management of gastrointestinal adverse effects associated with standard eradication therapy. Secondary objectives include evaluation of H. pylori eradication rate, recurrence of infection at 3 and 12 months after treatment, gastrointestinal symptoms assessed using the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS), gastrointestinal quality of life assessed using the Nepean Dyspepsia Index-Short Form (NDI-SF), and safety and tolerability. Safety assessments will include the recording of adverse events, evaluation of their potential relationship to the study product, and treatment adherence monitoring.

Participants will attend scheduled follow-up visits during treatment and post-treatment follow-up. A 13C-urea breath test will be performed 6 to 8 weeks after completion of Phase I treatment to assess eradication. Follow-up will continue for 3 months after treatment completion, and a telephone assessment will be conducted at 12 months to evaluate recurrence. Statistical analyses will be performed using both intention-to-treat and per-protocol populations.

Вмешательства

• Препарат Omeprazole
  Omeprazole will be administered as part of the standard quadruple eradication therapy for Helicobacter pylori infection during the 10-day treatment phase.
• Препарат Pylera (Bismuth subcitrate potassium, metronidazole, tetracycline) given in combination with omeprazole
  Pylera® will be administered in combination with omeprazole as part of the standard quadruple eradication therapy for Helicobacter pylori infection during the 10-day treatment phase.
• Пищевая добавка Pylori Duo
  Pylori Duo is a dietary supplement containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus and dried licorice extract. Participants assigned to the experimental arm will receive Pylori Duo in combination with standard quadruple therapy for 10 days, followed by Pylori Duo for 3 months during the post-treatment phase.
• Другое Placebo
  Placebo capsules identical in appearance to Pylori Duo, but without pharmacologically active ingredients, will be administered in combination with standard quadruple therapy for 10 days, followed by placebo for 3 months during the post-treatment phase.
