Quadruple therapy with vonoprazan 20 mg daily as a first-line treatment for Helicobacter pylori infection: A single-center, open-label, noninferiority, randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although vonoprazan has been proven to be a highly potent drug for Helicobacter pylori eradication, there have been no randomized trials comparing the effectiveness of regimens containing vonoprazan 20 mg daily with alternative standard strategies. We aimed to assess the efficacy, tolerance, and cost-effectiveness of quadruple therapy with vonoprazan 20 mg daily as a first-line therapy for H. pylori eradication.

Materials and methods

We conducted a single-center, open-label, noninferiority, randomized controlled study in Zhejiang, China. Treatment-naive H. pylori-positive participants (n = 234) were randomly assigned to three groups in a 1:1:1 ratio: vonoprazan 20 mg daily with amoxicillin 1000 mg, furazolidone 100 mg and colloidal bismuth 200 mg each given twice
