Study summary

This is a multicenter non-inferiority randomized controlled trial for patients infected with Helicobacter pylori. Eligible participants will be randomly split into two groups. One group will take high-dose vonoprazan combined with amoxicillin (vonoprazan 20mg tid, amoxicillin 1000mg bid) for 10 days, while the other group will receive standard-dose vonoprazan plus amoxicillin (vonoprazan 20mg bid, amoxicillin 1000mg bid) for 14 days. The main goal of this study is to compare how well the two treatment plans clear the H. pylori bacteria. We aim to check if the 10-day high-dose treatment works no worse than the 14-day standard treatment. Every participant will take a follow-up test after treatment to see if the bacteria have been eliminated.

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 to 70 years, no restriction on gender
  2. Current Helicobacter pylori infection (positive result of either ¹³C or ¹⁴C urea breath test)
  3. No prior history of Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Severe underlying diseases, including hepatic insufficiency, renal insufficiency, malignant tumors, etc.
  2. Active gastrointestinal bleeding
  3. History of upper gastrointestinal surgery
  4. History of allergy to study medications
  5. Use of bismuth agents or antibiotics within 4 weeks prior to enrollment; use of acid-suppressive agents within 2 weeks prior to enrollment
  6. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, and subjects who refuse to take measures during the trial
  7. Behaviors that may increase disease risks, such as chronic alcohol abuse and drug addiction
  8. Subjects who are unable or unwilling to sign the form
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

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.

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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Eradication rates

    Both intention to treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) analyses will be used for the assessment of the eradication rates of Helicobacter pylori in two groups. The ITT analysis includes all randomly assigned patients who take at least one dose of the study medicines. The PP analysis is limited to patients who take over 90% of the study medications and complete follow-up.

    Time frame: immediately after the procedure

Secondary outcomes

  1. Rate of adverse reactions

    Time frame: immediately after the procedure

  2. Patient compliance

    Good compliance is defined as the actual dosage is within the range of 80%-100% of the dosage that should be taken.

    Time frame: immediately after the procedure

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.
