Clarithromycin

Summary: This study is a multicentre, non-inferiority randomized controlled trial to compare the efficacy and safety of 14-day vonoprazan-based dual therapy with versus quadruple therapy for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori. The primary outcome is eradication rate, and the secondary outcome includes the incidence of adverse events and compliance.

Summary: The prevalence of H. pylori antibiotic resistance has reached an alarming level worldwide. Antibiotic stewardship programs should be urgently developed and implemented. However, H. pylori antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is rarely offered, making local resistance patterns not easily available. Guideline-recommended empiric therapies (GR-ET) may no longer reliably achieve high cure rate i...

Background: Mycobacterium abscessus, one of the most common species of nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM), poses a significant clinical challenge due to its natural resistance to antibiotics and high treatment failure rates, particularly in lung diseases. Among its subspecies, M. abscessus subspecies abscessus is especially prone to developing inducible resistance to Clarithromycin. This resistance mechanism ...

Summary: Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative, spiral-shaped bacterium that infects up to 50% of the world's population, residing in the gastric mucosa and using the mucus layer for protection from the stomach's high acidity. Its clinical significance is profound: it is classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by the World Health Organization and is a primary cause of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers, gastric ...

Summary: To conduct an unblinded pragmatic randomized controlled trial (pRCT) Improvement of PPROM Management with Prophylactic Antimicrobial Therapy (iPROMPT) of a seven-day course of ceftriaxone, clarithromycin, and metronidazole versus the current standard of care of a seven-day course of ampicillin/amoxicillin and azithromycin or erythromycin to prolong pregnancy and decrease adverse perinatal outcomes...

Summary: This study focuses on patients with H. pylori-positive resectable locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the gastric and oesophagogastric junction. It evaluates the perioperative oxaliplatin with S-1 (SOX) combined H. pylori eradication versus oxaliplatin with S-1 in the management of H. pylori-positive locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the gastric and oesophagogastric junction (cT3/4a Nx or T2 N2/3,...

Summary: This study, titled CURE-H. Pylori, is a three-arm, parallel-group, open-label, randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the effectiveness of Dexlansoprazole, Lansoprazole, and Vonoprazan in combination with Levofloxacin and Amoxicillin for Helicobacter pylori eradication. H. pylori infection is a significant health issue worldwide, with an estimated prevalence of 44% globally and around 60...

Summary: 1. Compare the efficacies and safety of 14-day bismuth-amoxicillin-vonoprazan tiple therapy, 14-day vonoprazan dual therapy and 14-day rabeprazole triple therapy in the first-line treatment of H. pylori infection. 2. To investigate the impacts of antibiotic resistance of H. pylori as well as CYP3A4, CYP2C19 and IL-1B -511 genotypes of host on the eradication efficacies of anti-H. pylori treatments...

Summary: Bronchiectasis is a chronic inflammatory respiratory disease defined as the irreversible dilatation of one or more bronchi and is associated with chronic and frequently purulent expectoration, multiple exacerbations and progressive dyspnea. Bronchiectasis has a large heterogeneity. Different patients with bronchiectasis may have different etiology, clinical manifestations, and imaging features. Pr...

Summary: This study will independently assess the efficacy and safety of 11 combination therapies in 12 arms, in dose-escalation/-evaluation and expansion phases, for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) and newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM). The combinations to be evaluated are: * Arm 1: Selinexor + dexamethasone + pomalidomide (SPd); enrollment complete * Arm 2...

Summary: Gastric cancer remains a global health problem, and Chile has one of the highest GC mortality rates in the region. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is ubiquitous in Chilean adults, and it constitutes the main cause of GC worldwide. A long-term process occurs from premalignant lesions to carcinoma. H. pylori eradication during early stages of disease significantly impacts outcomes, favorin...

Summary: The primary objective of the REACT randomized clinical trial (RCT) is to optimize the clinical benefit from adjunctive clarithromycin treatment shown in the ACCESS trial and to provide evidence for the clinical benefit of early start of adjunctive oral clarithromycin guided by suPAR to prevent the progression into sepsis in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) at risk. This can be achi...
