AIM:To investigate whether the addition of probiotics can improve the eradication effect of triple therapy for Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection.METHODS:This open randomized trial recruited 234 H.pylori positive gastritis patients from seven local centers.The patients were randomized to one-week standard triple therapy (omeprazole 20 mg bid,clarithromycin 500 mg bid,and amoxicillin 1000 mg bid; OCA group,n =79); two weeks of pre-treatment with probiotics,containing 3 × 107 Lactobacillus acidophilus per day,prior to one week of triple therapy (POCA group,n =78); or one week of triple therapy followed by two weeks of the same probiotics (OCAP group,n =77).Successful eradication was defined as a negative C13 or C14 urease breath test four weeks after triple therapy.Patients were asked to report associated symptoms at baseline and during follow-up,and side effects related to therapy were recorded.Data were analyzed by both intention-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) methods.RESULTS:PP analysis involved 228 patients,78 in the OCA,76 in the POCA and 74 in the OCAP group.Successful eradication was observed in 171 patients; by PP analysis,the eradication rates were significantly higher (P =0.007 each) in the POCA (62/76; 81.6%,95%CI 72.8%-90.4%) and OCAP (61/74; 82.4%,95% CI 73.6%-91.2%) groups than in the OCA group (48/78;61.5%,95% CI 50.6%-72.4%).ITT analysis also showed that eradication rates were significantly higher in the POCA (62/78; 79.5%,95% CI 70.4%-88.6%)and OCAP (61/77; 79.2%,95% CI 70%-88.4%)groups than in the OCA group (48/79; 60.8%,95% CI 49.9%-71.7%),(P =0.014 and P =0.015).The symptom relieving rates in the POCA,OCAP and OCA groups were 85.5%,89.2% and 87.2%,respectively.Only one of the 228 patients experienced an adverse reaction.CONCLUSION:Administration of probiotics before or after standard triple therapy may improve H.pylori eradication rates.
