Summary

The primary objective of this retrospective study was to assess the efficacy and safety of a bismuth quadruple regimen of a low-dose potassium-competitive acid blocker versus a standard-dose potassium-competitive acid blocker and a standard-dose proton pump inhibitor combined with amoxicillin and clarithromycin as the initial treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection.

Detailed description

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is closely associated with a variety of diseases including chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, and gastric cancer. Adequate acid suppression is essential for H. pylori eradication therapy. Potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB) vonoprazan (VPZ) has faster, stronger, and longer-lasting acid inhibition and plays an important role in H. pylori treatment. 2022 Chinese national clinical practice guideline on Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment recommended for the first time a quadruple regimen of bismuth containing P-CAB for H. pylori eradication, in which P-CAB was administered as VPZ 20 mg twice daily. In this retrospective study, we compared the efficacy and safety of a quadruple regimen based on low-dose P-CAB (VPZ 20 mg once daily) versus a quadruple regimen based on standard-dose P-CAB (VPZ 20 mg twice daily) or standard-dose proton pump inhibitor (rabeprazole 10 mg twice daily) containing amoxicillin, clarithromycin, and bismuth as initial treatment for H. pylori infection. Our study will provide clinical evidence for the necessary dosage of VPZ in bismuth quadruple regimens, which will help to further optimize the treatment regimen for H. pylori infection.
