Study summary

Current studies have primarily focused on comparing the advantages and disadvantages of P-CAB and PPI drugs, with little comparison between different P-CAB drugs or between regimens with varying drug combinations and treatment durations.

This study aims to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of vonoprazan-based H. pylori eradication therapy and compare it to that of conventional PPI based therapy in clinical practice.

Read the detailed description

Currently, there are numerous H. pylori eradication regimens, but opinions vary regarding the effectiveness of those based on P-CAB or PPI. Zhang et al. 4 concluded that the P-CAB-based triple regimen was superior to the PPI-based regimen, whereas Du et al.5 suggested that a vonoprazan and amoxicillin duo regimen may be the preferred first-line option for H. pylori eradication in clinical practice. However, due to limited evidence, the efficacy of various H. pylori eradication regimens using tegoprazan or vonoprazan could not be compared.

Current studies have primarily focused on comparing the advantages and disadvantages of P-CAB and PPI drugs, with little comparison between different P-CAB drugs or between regimens with varying drug combinations and treatment durations.

This study aims to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of vonoprazan-based H. pylori eradication therapy and compare it to that of conventional PPI based therapy in clinical practice.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of vonoprazan-based H. pylori eradication therapy with conventional proton pump inhibitors based therapy.

Inclusion criteria

  • All patients who tested positive on stool antigen

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • patients under 12 years old.
  • Patients who have penicillin allergy.
  • Patients who have underlying dysrhythmia forbidding the use of macrolide -. Patient who have to any of these antibiotics or proton pump inhibitors.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
