Is this trial a fit for you?

Ideal candidates are adults aged 20 years or older with a naive H. pylori infection.

Probably not a fit

Patients who have previously received H. pylori eradication therapy or have severe chronic diseases may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of various treatment regimens for Helicobacter pylori infection, including vonoprazan-based dual and triple therapies, bismuth quadruple therapy, and lansoprazole-based therapies. A total of 1200 adult participants with confirmed H. pylori infection will be randomly assigned to receive one of the treatment regimens for 14 days. The study will also investigate long-term effects on gut microbiota, antibiotic resistance, and metabolic parameters following treatment. The goal is to determine which therapy is most effective in eradicating the infection.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more effective treatment options for patients suffering from H. pylori infection.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown that vonoprazan-based therapies can be superior to traditional treatments, indicating potential for success in this approach.
