23 Abstract

25

AIM: To examine the efficacy of third-line Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy with

26

esomeprazole, amoxicillin, and sitafloxacin for patients with clarithromycin- and

27

metronidazole-based first- and second-line therapy failure.

28

METHODS: Thirty patients with first- and second-line H. pylori eradication failure

29

were prospectively treated with esomeprazole 20 mg twice daily (b.i.d.), amoxicillin 750

30

mg b.i.d., and sitafloxacin 100 mg b.i.d. for 7 days. After 8–12 weeks, the outcome of

31

eradication therapy was assessed using a 13C-urea breath test or a stool antigen test.

32

RESULTS: All 30 patients completed the study. Eradication was successful in 25

33

patients and the eradication rate was 83% in the intention-to-treat and per-protocol

34

analyses. No specific or significant adverse events were recorded in the 30 patients.

35

Patient characteristics such as gender, body mass index, and pepsinogen I/II ratio did

36

not differ between patients who were successfully treated and those who were not

37

successfully treated.

38

CONCLUSION: Third-line H. pylori eradication therapy with esomeprazole, amoxicillin,

39

and sitafloxacin is as safe and effective as previously reported sitafloxacin-based triple

40

therapy.

44 INTRODUCTION

46

Chronic Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection causes various gastroduodenal diseases,

47

including ulcers and malignancies1-4. Eradication of H. pylori can prevent or cure these

48

diseases5-7. In fact, some studies have shown that H. pylori eradication reduces the

49

incidence of gastric cancer, suggesting that eradication therapy could be the primary

50

therapeutic approach for the upper gastrointestinal diseases8-12.

51

Many regimens for H. pylori eradication have been tested since the discovery of this

52

bacterium. Generally, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and antibiotics are included in an

53

eradication regimen to suppress gastric acid and to kill the bacteria. Bacterial

54

resistance to specific antibiotics significantly reduces the efficacy of an eradication

55

regimen containing the corresponding antibiotics, and resistance is associated with the

56

consumption of antibiotics, which is influenced by socioeconomic status and geographic

57

area2, 13, 14.

58

In Japan, first-line therapy consists of PPI, amoxicillin (AMX) and clarithromycin

59

(CLR) for 7 days which results in 60–70% of eradication rate due to widespread

CLR-resistant H. pylori15. Second-line therapy includes PPI, AMX and metronidazole

61

(MNZ), which has an acceptable eradication rate of 90%3. No standard third-line

62

therapy has been established, although several regimens have been examined

63

prospectively for their efficacy and adverse events14. Candidate third-line antibiotics

64

include fluoroquinolones, one of which, sitafloxacin (STX), has shown good in-vitro

65

ability to kill H. pylori

66

a modest eradication rate of 70–80%17-19. Studies of primary resistance against STX

67

have shown that more than 90% of H. pylori strains are susceptible to this antibiotic18-20.

68

However, the in vivo eradication rate of the third-line therapy has not exceeded 90% in

69

most studies, so there is still room to improve the STX-based third-line eradication

70

regimen21.

71

Therefore, we conducted a prospective study of the efficacy of a new third-line

77 MATERIALS AND METHODS

79

Subjects

80

A prospective exploratory study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of third-line

81

Helicobacter eradication therapy (UMIN clinical trials registry ID no. 000007971).

82

Adult patients with a peptic ulcer or chronic gastritis in whom CLR-based first-line and

83

MNZ-based second-line therapy had failed were invited to join the study. CLR-based

84

first-line therapy consists of PPI, AMX (750mg b.i.d.), CLR (200mg or 400mg b.i.d.) for 7

85

days. MNZ-based second-line therapy consists of PPI, AMX (750mg b.i.d.), MNZ (50mg

86

b.i.d.) for 7 days. Patients with major organ dysfunction or a history of allergy to PPI,

87

AMX or STX were excluded. Prior use of esomeprazole was not excluded. Prior use of

88

STX for third-line eradication was excluded. Written informed consent was obtained

89

from all patients. The study protocol was approved by the Institutional Review Board of

90

the University of Tokyo Hospital (approval No P2012006).

Before beginning third-line eradication therapy, height and weight was recorded, and

93

laboratory tests including liver and renal function tests and pepsinogen were performed.

94

Patients were assigned to receive esomeprazole 20 mg twice daily (b.i.d.), AMX 750 mg

95

b.i.d., and STX 100 mg b.i.d. for 7 days. We applied 7 days treatment duration for this

111 RESULTS

113

From April 2012 to December 2015, we enrolled 30 patients with a history of second-line

114

eradication failure. The mean patient age was 51.8 ± 2.5 years, and 15 were men (Table

115

1). All 30 patients took the full course of medication and underwent a

116

test or a stool antigen test. Successful eradication was achieved in 25 cases, giving a

117

83% eradication rate (95% confidence interval; 65-94%) for both intention-to-treat and

118

per-protocol analyses.

119

Diarrhea was the most common adverse event, and was recorded in five cases (16.7% of

120

the study cohort). One patient (3.3%) suffered moderate diarrhea with seven defecations

121

over 2 days, but did not require treatment for diarrhea. A moderate skin eruption after

122

the therapy (3.3%) and a moderate asthma attack during the therapy (3.3%) were

123

observed in one patient each, and both required specific medications. Stomatitis (3.3%)

124

and cystitis (3.3%) were recorded in one patient each, but resolved without specific

125

treatment.

126

In a subgroup analysis, age, sex, gastric diseases, previous third-line therapy, body

127

mass index, and the pepsinogen I/II ratio did not differ between patients with successful

128

eradication and those with eradication failure (Table 2).

Table 3 lists the characteristics of the H. pylori strains isolated before and after

third-line therapy. In case EAS025, the H. pylori strain had relatively high MICs for

131

AMX of 1.0 μg/mL and STX of 0.12 μg/mL with the N87K gyrA mutation before the

132

therapy, but it was successfully treated with this third-line regimen. Conversely, the H.

135 DISCUSSION

137

Sitafloxacin-based H. pylori eradication therapy is often used in Japan14. As the

138

third-line therapy, 70–78% eradication rates were reported in early three prospective

139

studies17-19. Furuta et al. conducted a randomized study containing four arms, which

140

showed 84–91% eradication25. These third-line therapy regimens with STX used

141

rabeprazole or lansoprazole as the PPI. In this study, we examined the efficacy of

142

esomeprazole, the latest conventional PPI approved in Japan, for third-line H. pylori

143

eradication in combination with AMX and STX. We obtained an eradication rate of 83%,

144

and the adverse events were not specific or severe. This efficacy is in line with prior

145

STX-based third-line regimens with rabeprazole or lansoprazole. Contrary to our

146

expectations, substitution of esomeprazole for rabeprazole or lansoprazole did not

147

improve the eradication rate.

Several studies have compared the efficacy of eradication with different PPIs with the

149

aim of improving the eradication regimen. McNicholl et al. performed a meta-analysis of

150

randomized control trials of Helicobacter eradication using esomeprazole, and reported

151

the superiority of esomeprazole over first generation PPIs26. The varying acid-inhibiting

152

potential of PPIs may affect the eradication efficacy. In other cases, different usage of

153

CYPs, enzymes that metabolize PPI, as well as its single nucleotide polymorphism may

154

affect the results. However, it is not clear whether differences of PPI affect third-line

155

eradication therapy.

156

In a previous study, we found enhanced bactericidal activity of STX at near-neutral pH18.

157

In addition, a low pepsinogen I/II ratio, which indicates advanced atrophy and

158

hypochlorhydria clinically, was associated with a high eradication efficacy using STX18.

159

Therefore, we hypothesized that STX-based therapy would be beneficial with sufficient

160

acid suppression. However, this was not the case with the esomeprazole-based third-line

161

therapy evaluated in the present study. In this study, the eradication rate did not reach

162

90%, and the pepsinogen I/II ratio did not affect the eradication results. The

163

replacement of esomeprazole with vonoprazan, a novel potassium-competing acid

164

blocker that has superior gastric acid control over conventional PPIs27, may improve the

165

efficacy of STX-based third-line therapy. It is also possible that factors other than acid

148

166

suppression, such as bacterial resistance, are critical to the eradication outcome13, 14.

167

A breakpoint for STX has not been established, and studies have used different

168

breakpoints of 0.12 and 1.0 μg/mL19,

169

eradicated a strain with 0.12 μg/mL MIC of STX, but were unsuccessful with a strain

170

with an MIC less than 0.03 μg/mL. In our previous study of rabeprazole, STX and AMX,

171

a strain with 0.12 μg/mL MIC of STX was not eradicated, while a strain with 0.24

172

μg/mL was treated successfully18. These results indicate the difficulty interpreting in

173

vitro MIC testing in terms of the results of current third-line eradication therapy. In

174

this study, we isolated H. pylori strains from only two patients among five unsuccessful

175

treated cases, because culture was negative in other two patients and endoscopy was

176

not performed in another patient. In the two patients with negative culture results,

177

13C-urea

178

culture test was false negative. More cases are required to determine the breakpoint of

179

STX, particularly in third-line therapy.

180

When we conducted this study, no study using esomeprazole as third-line therapy with

181

STX had been reported. Recently, Mori et al.28 published a randomized study that

182

compared AMX with MNZ as third-line therapy in combination with STX. In that study,

183

esomeprazole was used as a PPI, giving eradication rates of 81% and 72%, respectively,

with 10 day third-line regimen. Although the study contained an extremely high

185

percentage of STX-resistant H. pylori (57% with an MIC > 1.0 μg/mL) compared to other

186

third-line studies, the eradication rate in the intention-to-treat analysis was

187

comparable to that of our 7-day protocol. Previously, Furuta et al.25 examined the

188

efficacy of 1- or 2-week regimens of STX-based third-line therapy and found no

189

statistical difference between the different treatment durations. In contrast, recent

190

consensus statements developed by the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology and

191

the Canadian Helicobacter Study Group strongly recommend duration of 14 days for all

192

H. pylori treatments29. Therefore, appropriate durations of third-line eradication

193

regimen as well as those of first- and second-line therapy may require re-evaluation in

194

Japan.

195

In conclusion, third-line H. pylori eradication therapy with esomeprazole gave an 83%

196

of eradication rate, which was comparable to previous STX-based third-line therapy.

197

This suggests that the substitution of esomeprazole for reported PPIs could be another

198

option for third-line H. pylori the eradication therapy.
