Evaluation of the benefit of addition of clidinium C to a Helicobacter pylori eradication regimen

This study aimed to evaluate the success of H.pylori eradication therapy in patients with dyspepsia by therapeutics regimes with and without clidinium C. Helicobacter pylori infections are reported in all parts of the world. Appropriate antibiotic therapy can treat infection. The ideal treatment regimen has not been specified. In a randomized, double blind clinical trials study, 250 patients with dyspepsia were enrolled. All patients were treated by Omeprazole, Metronidazole, Amoxicillin and Bismuth [OMAB] for two weeks. One tablet clidinium C before each meal was added to this regimen in the intervention group [A]. Urea Breath Test [UBT] was carried out after 8-12 weeks after treatment for evaluation of H.pylori eradication. 132 patients in the intervention group [A] and 118 patients in the control group [B] were enrolled to the study. The rate of eradication in group A was significantly higher than group B [62.1% vs. 50%, p=0.04]. The results supported the effect of clidinium C for increasing of helicobacter pylori eradication, but further studies need to be performed
