Summary
This study aims at evaluating efficacy and safety of berberine-containing quadruple
therapy(berberine, esomeprazole, clarithromycin and amoxicillin) versus bismuth-containing
quadruple therapy (bismuth,esomeprazole,clarithromycin and amoxicillin) in H. pylori
eradication. It is hypothesized that berberine-containing quadruple therapy is non-inferior
to bismuth-containing quadruple therapy. Patients with confirmed H. pylori positive status
will be randomized to one of the treatments described above. At week 2 and 6 follow-up
visits, a urea breath test(UBT) will be performed to confirm eradication.
