Study summary

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of vonoprazan combined with different antibiotics in dual therapy for Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment. Newly infected patients were randomly assigned to four groups: amoxicillin dual therapy, tetracycline dual therapy, minocycline dual therapy, and bismuth quadruple therapy. At the follow - up visit in the 6th week, urea breath test, rapid urease test, or Helicobacter pylori fecal antigen test will be conducted to confirm eradication.

Read the detailed description

The study will include three phases: screening, treatment and follow-up. Screening: this phase will last a maximum of 14 days and subjects eligibility will be evaluated after signing informed consent. One of urea breath test#rapid urease test or helicobacter pylori stool antigen test will be performed in addition to the baseline routine evaluations.

Treatment: Subjects are randomly assigned to treatment and will be treated for 14 days. A randomization visit will take place on Day 0 and an end-of-treatment visit will take place between day 14 and 16.

Follow-up: includes one visits. Approximately 28 days after the end of treatment. Eradication of H. Pylori will be confirmed by one of urea breath test#rapid urease test or helicobacter pylori stool antigen test.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Aged 18 - 70 years, regardless of gender;
  2. Patients with definite Hp infection (positive result in any one of the 13C/14C urea breath test, rapid urease test, and fecal Hp antigen test) who have never received Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment;
  3. For women of child - bearing age, it is required to use medically acceptable methods during the trial period and within 30 days after the end of the trial.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients who have been definitely diagnosed with Hp infection and have received antibiotic eradication treatment;
  2. Patients with to the study drug or who are allergic to the study drug;
  3. Patients with severe organ damage and complications (such as liver cirrhosis, uremia, etc.), severe or unstable cardiopulmonary or endocrine diseases;
  4. Patients who have been continuously using anti - ulcer drugs (including taking PPI within 2 weeks before the Hp infection test), antibiotics or bismuth complexes (more than 3 times a week within 1 month before screening);

  14. Patients who have participated in other clinical trials within the past 3 months;
  15. Patients who refuse to sign the form.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

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.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Apr 2025 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Oct 2025, 6 months after the start.

Of 14 phase 4 interventional studies under Gastritis, half reached primary completion within 12 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 14. This study's planned 6 months is below that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 14, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
