*  This analysis was based on evaluable patients with confirmed duodenal ulcer
    (active or within 1 year) and H. pylori infection at baseline defined as at least
    2 of 3 positive endoscopic tests from CLOtest®, (Delta West Ltd., Bentley,
    Australia), histology, and/or culture. Patients were included in the analysis
    if they completed the study. Additionally, if patients dropped out of the study
    due to an adverse event related to the study drug, they were included in the
    analysis as failures of therapy.
†  Patients were included in the analysis if they had documented H. pylori infection
   at baseline as defined above and had a confirmed duodenal ulcer (active or within
   1 year). All dropouts were included as failures of therapy.
