Evaluation of Saccharomyces Boulardii Combined With Standard Quadruple Therapy for Eradication of Helicobacter Pylori
A study testing Saccharomyces boulardii, Esomeprazole and Amoxicillin in people with Helicobacter Pylori Infection, run by Huazhong University of Science and Technology at 1 site in China.
Trial summary
The eradication rate of standard quadruple therapy has become less successful due to low compliance and high resistance to the antibiotics. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new treatment strategies that increase the eradication rate and reduce adverse effects. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: The Evaluation of Saccharomyces Boulardii Sachets Combined With Standard Quadruple Therapy for Eradication of Helicobacter Pylori: a Prospective, Multi-Center Trial
The eradication rate of standard quadruple therapy has become less successful due to low compliance and high resistance to the antibiotics. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new treatment strategies that increase the eradication rate and reduce adverse effects. The aims of this prospective study is to investigate the efficacy of Saccharomyces Boulardii sachets for eradication of Hp, compared with standard quadruple therap.
Read the detailed description
In China, the first-line therapy to treat Helicobacter pylori (Hp) consists of a bismuth-based proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and two antibiotics for 14 days. But, eradication has become less successful due to low compliance and high resistance to the antibiotics. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new treatment strategies that increase the eradication rate and reduce adverse effects. Several studies previously suggested that probiotics could be effective for improving Hp eradication rate or reducing adverse events with PPI-based triple therapy. But, their effect for eradication of Hp is not yet conclusive. And the experiments now available about efficacy of Saccharomyces Boulardii were mainly combined with triple therapy. The aims of this prospective study is to investigate the efficacy of Saccharomyces Boulardii sachets for eradication of Hp, compared with standard quadruple therapy.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Saccharomyces boulardii, Esomeprazole and Amoxicillin in people with Helicobacter Pylori Infection, run by Huazhong University of Science and Technology at 1 site in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Helicobacter pylori eradication (time frame: 6 weeks after treatment initiation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03688828, which also lists 4 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
