Vonoprazan versus a proton pump inhibitor with vitamin D or probiotics added to triple antibiotics for H. pylori eradication
Official title: Safety and Efficacy of Vonoprazan vs Proton Pump Inhibitor With Vitamin D or Probiotics Based Triple Therapy for Eradication of Helicobacter Pylori Infection
Run by Tanta University · NCT07293910 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial tests whether replacing a PPI with vonoprazan and adding vitamin D or a probiotic to standard clarithromycin–amoxicillin therapy helps adults with H. pylori infection clear the bacteria.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18 to under 80 with a confirmed H. pylori infection who are not pregnant or lactating and who have not recently used antibiotics, PPIs, or H2 blockers are the intended participants.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with prior H. pylori eradication therapy, recent antimicrobial or acid-suppressant use, active liver or renal disease, pregnancy/lactation, or allergies to study drugs are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.

What this trial studies
This Phase 2 interventional trial randomizes adults with confirmed H. pylori infection to receive either vonoprazan- or PPI-based triple therapy (clarithromycin plus amoxicillin) combined with either vitamin D supplementation or a probiotic. Treatment is given per protocol and H. pylori eradication is checked using stool antigen, urea breath test, or endoscopy-based testing. Patients with recent antibiotic or acid-suppressing drug use, pregnancy, significant liver or renal disease, prior eradication therapy, or known allergy to regimen components are excluded. The study is conducted at Tanta University Hospital with follow-up testing to compare eradication rates and tolerability between arms.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the regimen could raise H. pylori eradication rates and reduce treatment failures compared with conventional PPI-based triple therapy.
How similar studies have gone: Previous trials have shown vonoprazan can achieve higher eradication rates than PPIs in some settings, while evidence for added benefit from vitamin D or probiotics is mixed and less conclusive.
