Abstract

Background/Aims: Ecabet sodium is used for treating gastric ulcers and gastritis. It exhibits a bactericidal effect againstHelicobacter pylori by inhibiting bacterial urease activity. Thus, ecabet sodium has been suggested to improve the efficacy of theH. pylori eradication in patients with peptic ulcers. The aim of this study was to compare the H. pylori eradication rate oflansoprazole-based triple therapy versus lansoprazole-based triple therapy plus ecabet sodium.Methods: The subjects consisted of 363 H. pylori-positive patients who had undergone eradication therapy from February 2007 toFebruary 2010. In total, 363 patients with H. pylori-positive peptic ulcer disease or symptomatic erosive gastritis received LAC(lansprazole 30 mg b.i.d., amoxicillin 1.0 g b.i.d., clarithromycin 500 mg b.i.d.) or LACE (lansoprazole 30 mg b.i.d., amoxicillin1.0 g b.i.d., clarithromycin 500 mg b.i.d., ecabet sodium 1 g b.i.d.) for 1 week. Successful eradication was defined as a negative13Curea breath test 4-5 weeks after treatment completion.Results: H. pylori eradication rates were 81.4% (166/204) in the LAC group and 86.2% (137/159) in the LACE group (p = 0.159).No significant difference in eradication was observed. No significant difference was observed in the side effects experienced by thepatients in the two treatment groups.Conclusions: Our results suggest that adding ecabet sodium did not improve the H. pylori eradication rate significantly in standardlansoprazole-based triple therapy for H. pylori.

목적: 위세포벽을 보호하는 효과로 소화성 궤양환자에 사용되는 ecabet sodium은 H. pylori 요소분해효소를 억제함으로써 H. pylori의 활동과 성장을 억제시키는 약물로 알려져있다. 이에 기존의 LAC 삼제요법과 ecabet sodium을 병합한 LAC 삼제요법(lansoprazole + amoxicillin + clarithromycin)을 사용한 환자들 간의 H. pylori 제균율의 차이를 비교하여 ecabet sodium이 H. pylori 제균율에 미치는 효과를 평가하고자 하였다. 방법: 상부위장관 내시경으로 H. pylori 양성 소화성 궤양 또는 미란성 위염으로 진단받고 LAC (lansoprazole 30 mg b.i.d., amoxacillin 1.0 g b.i.d., clarithromycin 500 mg b.i.d.) 또는 LACE (lansoprazole 30 mg b.i.d., amoxacillin 1.0 g b.i.d., clarithromycin 500 mg b.i.d., ecabet sodium 1 g b.i.d.)로 2주간 H. pylori 제균 치료를 받았던 두 군을 투약종료 4-5주 후에 $^{13}C$요소호기검사를 실시하여 두 군 간 H. pylori 제균율을 비교하였다. 결과: 대상 환자는 LAC군 204명, LACE군 159명으로 총363명이었고, 양 군 간의 흡연력, 나이, 성별 및 진단명에는 유의한 차이는 없었다. H. pylori 제균율에 있어서 LAC군은 81.4%, LACE군은 86.2%로 ecabet sodium을 사용한 군에서 사용하지 않은 군과 비교 시 제균율에 차이가 없었다(p = 0.159). 결론: H. pylori의 제균 요법으로 ecabet sodium을 병합 투여한 3제 요법은 기존의 3제 요법과 제균율에 있어서 차이가 없었다.
