abstract

background: the effectiveness of classic standard triple therapy regimen of helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) eradication has decreased to unacceptably low levels, largely related to development of resistance to metronidazole and clarithromycin. thus successful eradication of h. pylori infections remains challenging. therefore alternative treatments with superior effectiveness and safety should be designed and appropriately tested in all areas depending on the native resistance patterns. furazolidone has been used successfully in eradication regimens previously and regimens containing furazolidone may be an ideal regimen.   methods : h. pylori infected patients with proven gastric or duodenal ulcers and /or gastric or duodenal erosions at imam khomeini hospital in sari/northern iran, were randomly allocated into three groups: group a (oabf) with furazolidone (f) (200 mg bid.), group b (oabm-f) metronidazole (m) (500 mg bid.) for the first five days, followed by furazolidone (f) (200 mg bid.) for the second five days and group c (oaf) with furazolidone (f) (200 mg tid.). omeprazole (o) (20 mg bid.) and amoxicillin (a) (1000 mg bid.) were given in all groups bismuth (b) (240 mg bid.) was prescribed in groups a & b. duration of all eradication regimens were ten days. eight weeks after treatment, a 14c-urea breath test was performed for evaluation of h. pylori eradication.   results : a total of 372 patients were enrolled in three groups randomly (124 patients in each group) 120 (97%) patients in group a (oabf), 120 (97%) in group b (oabm-f) and 116 (93%) in group c (oaf) completed the study. the intention-to-treat eradication rates were 83.7% (95% ci= 77.3–90.4), 79.8% (95% ci=72.6–87), and 84.6% (95% ci= 78.2–91.1) and per-protocol eradication rates were 86.6% (95% ci= 80.5–92.8), 82.5% (95% ci= 75.6–89.4), and 90.5% (95% ci= 85.1–95.9) for groups oabf, oabm-f, and oaf, respectively. no statistical significant differences were found in case of severe drug adverse effects between the above mentioned three groups (p>0.05). the most common side effects, namely nausea and fever, occurred in all groups, but more frequently in group c (oaf) (p< 0.05).   conclusion : in developing countries such as iran, furazolidone-based regimens can substitute clarithromycin-based regimens for h. pylori eradication because of a very low level of resistance, low cost and high effectiveness. considering per-protocol eradication rate of ten days oaf regimen, and the acceptable limit of ninety percent, we recommend this regimen in developing countries such as iran to be substituted of classic standard triple therapy. in order to minimize rare serious adverse effects, one week high dose oaf regimen should be taken into consideration in other studies.

A Comparison between Moderate- and High-dose Furazolidone in Triple Regimens for Helicobacterpylori Eradication in Iran

BACKGROUND Furazolidone has been used as an alternative for clarithromycin or metronidazole in Helicobacterpylori (H.pylori) eradication regimens. In Iran, 14-day Furazolidone-containing quadruple regimens have shown promising eradication rates, but short-course, low dose therapies are always attractive. Therefore, we designed a study to compare the efficacy of two 10-day triple regimens contai...

Triple and Quadruple Encryption: Bridging the Gaps

Triple encryption is a cascade of three block cipher evaluations with independent keys, in order to enlarge its key size. This design is proven secure up to approximately 2κ+min{κ/2,n/2} queries (by Bellare and Rogaway, EUROCRYPT 2006, and Gaži and Maurer, ASIACRYPT 2009), where κ denotes the key size and n the block length of the underlying block cipher. On the other hand, the best known attac...

مقایسه رژیم های سه و چهار دارویی حاوی دوز پایین فورازولیدون با رژیم سه دارویی حاوی مترونیدازول جهت ریشه کنی هلیکوباکترپیلوری در بیماران مبتلا به زخم اثنی عشر

Background and purpose: Ëradication of Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) is essential for the effective treatment of peptic ulcer (p.ulcer). Triple therapy as the first line of treatment in eradication of H.pylori is recommended. Ïn this study, we aimed at comparing the efficacy of quadruple and triple therapies containing low dose furazolidone versus a triple therapy containing metronidazole an...

Effects of Clarithromycin-Containing Quadruple Therapy on Helicobacter Pylori Eradication after Nitroimidazole-Containing Quadruple Therapy Failure.

BACKGROUND Several large clinical trials and meta-analyses have shown about 20% failure to eradicate Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori), necessitating investigations for second-line treatments. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of clarithromycin-containing quadruple regimen after nitroimidazole-containing quadruple therapy failure. METHODS Thirty two patients who had failed 10-day H...
