Brief Summary

Successful H. pylori eradication therapy remains a challenge in medical practice. Despite promising data for first-line, second-line and rescue treatment options based on clinical trials as well as guidelines and expert recommendations, success rates can often not be reproduced in general practice. Rescue options for patients with failed initial or second-line therapy are definitely needed. The new fluoroquinolone moxifloxacin may represent an effective and save treatment option (in combination with a PPI and amoxicillin) for rescue therapy of H- pylori positive patients.However, optimal duration of therapy (7-day course vs 14-day course) has to be determined

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Efficacy of a combination of esomeprazole (E), moxifloxacin (M) and amoxicillin (A) for third line therapy of H. pylori infection.

  • Comparison of EMA 7 days versus EMA 14 days. Hypothesis: superiority of EMA 14 days 4 weeks after end of eradication therapy

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Tolerability,safety, post treatment resistance, influence of host genetics (CYP status) and pathogenicity factors of H. pylori on treatment success.
