Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To compare 2 experimental antibiotic regimens with a standard 14 day regimen with regard to H. pylori eradication rates at 6 weeks post-randomization. [ Time Frame: week 6 post-randomization ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Secondary aims will examine infection rates at 1 year, safety and tolerability of these regimens,& potential differential effects among selected groups. [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Detailed Description:

Prevention of gastric cancer through eradication of H. pylori is one of the most promising strategies to reduce the global impact of cancer in the near term. Our long-term goal is to prevent gastric cancer by developing and validating an effective, simple, and low-cost approach to eradication of H. pylori. Our immediate goal, therefore, is to conduct a randomized study to compare the effectiveness of three different drug regimens for H. pylori infection. The three study arms are: Standard therapy - 14 day, 3-drug regimen of Lansoprazole, amoxicillin and clarithromycin (PACx14); Concomitant therapy - 5 day, 4-drug regimen of lansoprazole, amoxicillin, clarithromycin, metronidazole (PACMx5); Sequential therapy - 10 day, 4-drug regimen of lansoprazole, amoxicillin for 5 days, followed by lansoprazole, clarithromycin and metronidazole for 5 days (PAx5/PCMx5).
