Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18-70 with confirmed H. pylori infection who have not received prior eradication therapy and are able to provide informed consent.

Probably not a fit

Patients who have pregnancy, certain comorbid GI conditions, prior eradication failure, or intolerance to study medications may not benefit.

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

What this trial studies

This randomized, phase 4 trial compares a dual-drug regimen (linlarase glutarate capsules 50 mg twice daily plus amoxicillin 1 g three times daily for 14 days) with a bismuth-containing quadruple regimen (esomeprazole, clarithromycin, amoxicillin, and colloidal bismuth subcitrate, each twice daily for 14 days) in adults with confirmed Helicobacter pylori infection who have not previously received eradication therapy. The primary outcome is eradication of H. pylori at 4 weeks after completing therapy, with secondary considerations including patient adherence and adverse events. Eligible participants are adults 18-70 without prior eradication, who have a confirmed infection and provide informed consent. Key exclusions include drug allergies, recent use of antibiotics or antisecretory medications, prior eradication failure, pregnancy, and certain gastrointestinal conditions.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the dual-drug therapy could offer a simpler, potentially better-tolerated first-line option for H. pylori eradication.

How similar studies have gone: Prior studies with alternative regimens for H. pylori have shown varying success; this trial investigates a novel dual-drug approach in a first-line setting.
