Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) can be eradicated immediately via local application of single-dose medicament on endoscopic examination. In our previous report, “the eradication rate of intraluminal therapy for
H. pylori infection (ILTHPI) is 53.7% (51/95) using medicament containing amoxicillin, metronidazole, and clarithromycin”. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and adverse events of medicament containing tetracycline, metronidazole, and bismuth and to improve the efficacy of stomach acid control before ILTHPI. After usage of dexlansoprazole (60 mg b.i.d.) or vonoprazan (20 mg q.d.) for 3 days before ILTHPI, 103 of 104 (99.1%) symptomatic
H. pylori-infected treatment-naïve patients achieved levels of stomach pH ≥ 6. Patients were randomized to receive ILTHPI with medicaments containing tetracycline, metronidazole, and bismuth (Group A,
n = 52) or amoxicillin, metronidazole, and clarithromycin (Group B,
n = 52). The eradication rate of ILTHPI was similar between Group A (76.5%; 39/51) and Group B (84.6%, 44/52) (
p = 0.427) and the adverse event was mild diarrhea (2.9%; 3/104). The eradication rate significantly increased from 53.7% (51/95) to 84.6% (44/52) after acid control (
p = 0.0004) for Group B patients. The overall eradication rates of successful ILTHPI plus 7-day non-bismuth (Group A) or 7-day bismuth (Group B) oral quadruple therapy for ILTHPI failure patients were both excellent (96.1% for Group A and 98.1% for Group B).
