Levofloxacin/amoxicillin-based schemes vs quadruple therapy for Helicobacter pylori eradication in second-line

Worldwide prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori)infection is approximately 50%,with the highest being in developing countries.We compared cure rates and tolerability (SE) of second-line anti-H,pylori levofloxacin/amoxicillin (LA)-based triple regimens vs standard quadruple therapy (QT).An English language literature search was performed up to October 2010.A meta-analysis was performed including randomized clinical trials comparing 7-or 10-d LA with 7-d QT.In total,10 articles and four abstracts were identified.Overall eradication rate in LA was 76.5% (95%CI:64.4%-97.6%).When only 7-d regimens were included,cure rate was 70.6% (95% CI:40.2%-99.1%),whereas for 10-d combinations,cure rate was significantly higher (88.7%; 95% CI:56.1%-109.9%;P < 0.05).Main eradication rate for QT was 67.4% (95% CI:49.7%-67.9%).The 7-d LA and QT showed comparable efficacy [odds ratio (OR):1.09; 95% CI:0.63-1.87],whereas the 10-d LA regimen was significantly more effective than QT (OR:5.05; 95% CI:2.74-9.31; P < 0.001;I2 =75%).No differences were reported in QT eradication rates among Asian and European studies,whereas LA regimens were more effective in European populations (78.3% vs 67.7%; P =0.05).Incidence of SE was lower in LA therapy than QT (OR:0.39; 95% CI:0.18-0.85; P =0.02).A higher rate of side effects was reported in Asian patients who received QT.Our findings support the use of 10-d LA as a simple second-line treatment for H.pylori eradication with an excellent eradication rate and tolerability.The optimal second-line alternative scheme might differ among countries depending on quinolone resistance.
