Protocol summary

Summary
H. pylori infection can result to diseases such as peptic ulcer, gastritis, gastric cancer and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma of the stomach. Therefore, its eradication is essential to control these clinical conditions. However, resistance to antibiotics can reduce the eradication success up to 70%.When several attempts to eradicate H.pylori fails, a quinolone such as levofloxacin can be used. Gemifloxacin is a new quinolone that has a much lower MIC than other drugs in this category. So, we conducted a randomized , non-placebo-controlled, multicenter, phase III trial to compare the eradication rate of H.pylori between regular regimen and Gemifloxacin -containing regimen. In this study 140 patients with gastrointestinal discomfort will be evaluated for H. pylori infection, and patients that use antibiotics, bismuth salts or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs during the previous 4 weeks, or had previous gastric surgery, severe systemic diseases, pregnancy and breastfeeding will be excluded. The intervention will take place over a 2-week regimen. Then eradication rate will be compared between groups based on their UBT results.
