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.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	7-day high-dose vonoprazan-amoxicillin dual therapy group	Patients in the 7-day high-dose vonoprazan-amoxicillin dual therapy group received vonoprazan fumarate tablets 20 mg three times daily, administered 30 minutes before meals, and amoxicillin 1,000 mg three times daily, taken after meals. Both medications were administered orally for 7 consecutive days.
DRUG	14-day vonoprazan-amoxicillin dual therapy group	Patients in the 14-day vonoprazan-amoxicillin dual therapy group received vonoprazan fumarate tablets 20 mg twice daily, administered 30 minutes before meals, and amoxicillin 1,000 mg three times daily, taken after meals. Both medications were administered orally for 14 consecutive days.
