Brief summary

Patients infected with H. pylori were randomly assigned to the dual therapy with vonoprazan 20 mg bid and amoxicillin 500 mg tid for 1 week or the triple therapy with vonoprazan 20 mg bid, amoxicillin 750 mg bid and clarithromycin 200 mg or metronidazole 250 mg bid bid for 1 week. Success or failure of eradication was determined by the 13C-urea breath test performed at 1 month after the therapy.

Detailed description

Patients infected with H. pylori were enrolled and invited to the study. Patients who have never undergone the H. pylori eradication therapy are randomly assigned to the dual therapy with vonoprazan 20 mg bid and amoxicillin 500 mg tid for 1 week or the triple therapy with vonoprazan 20 mg bid, amoxicillin 750 mg bid and clarithromycin 200 mg bid for 1 week. Patients who have ever failed in the eradication of H. pylori by the triple therapy containing clarithromycin are randomly assigned to the dual therapy with vonoprazan 20 mg bid and amoxicillin 500 mg tid for 1 week or the triple therapy with vonoprazan 20 mg bid, amoxicillin 750 mg bid and metronidazole 250 mg bid for 1 week. Success or failure of eradication was determined by the 13C-urea breath test performed at 1 month after the therapy.

Interventions

Vonoprazan is potent acid inhibitor. Vonoprazan 20 mg is dosed twice daily for 1 week.

DRUGAmoxicillin 500 mg tid

Amoxicillin is antibiotics. Its bactericidal effect is time-dependent. Then, 500 mg of amoxicillin is dosed three times daily for 1 week.

DRUGAmoxicillin 750 mg bid

Amoxicillin is antibiotics. Its bactericidal effect is time-dependent. However, the standard regimen in Japan, 750 mg of amoxicillin is dosed twice daily with clarithromycin or metronidazole for 1 week. Then, 750 mg of amoxicillin is dosed twice daily.

DRUGClarithromycin 200 mg bid

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The success or failure of eradication4 to 8 weeks after the end of the eradication therapySuccess or failure of eradication of H. pylor is to be diagnosed at 4 to 8 weeks after the end of the eradication therapy by13C-urea breath test.

Secondary
