7-day High-Dose Vonoprazan-amoxicillin Dual Therapy Versus 14-day Vonoprazan-amoxicillin Dual Therapy for H. Pylori

Sponsor: Yueyue Li

Summary

Helicobacter pylori infection is a prevalent global gastrointestinal condition linked to chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric cancer. Potent and sustained acid suppression improves eradication efficacy. Vonoprazan, a potassium-competitive acid blocker, provides rapid and stable acid inhibition and has become an important component of dual therapy with amoxicillin. However, the optimal dosing strategy and treatment duration for vonoprazan-based dual therapy are not yet fully established. This multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial compares the efficacy and safety of a short-term, high-dose vonoprazan-based dual therapy (20 mg three times daily for 7 days) with a standard-dose regimen (20 mg twice daily for 14 days), both combined with amoxicillin, for first-line H. pylori eradication. Adult participants with confirmed H. pylori infection will be randomized 1:1 to the two treatment groups. The primary outcome is the eradication rate of H. pylori at 6 weeks after completion of therapy. Secondary outcomes include safety assessments and medication adherence. This study will provide evidence on whether a higher dose and shorter treatment course can achieve similar eradication rates with acceptable safety and tolerability compared to the standard regimen.
