VAB-7: Vonoprazan 20mg twice daily+Amoxicillin 1g three times daily+Bismuth 220mg twice daily for 7 days

Study summary

The 2024 American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) Clinical Guideline recommends a 14-day vonoprazan-amoxicillin (VA) regimen, consisting of vonoprazan 20 mg twice daily with amoxicillin 1000 mg three times daily, as a first-line treatment for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection.

Our previous study on regimen optimization showed that vonoprazan 20 mg twice daily combined with amoxicillin 1 g three times daily or 750 mg four times daily for 10 days achieved satisfactory eradication rates exceeding 90%, with no significant difference between dosing frequencies. However, when the treatment duration was shortened to 7 days, both dosing schedules failed to reach satisfactory eradication rates, indicating a need for further optimization.

Bismuth has antibacterial and synergistic properties, such as disrupting bacterial membranes, suppressing protein synthesis, and reducing virulence factor expression. It may enhance the efficacy of antibiotics. Therefore, this study evaluated the efficacy and safety of a 7-day vonoprazan-high-dose amoxicillin-bismuth (VAB-7) regimen as a first-line treatment for H. pylori infection.

Eligible participants in this study will be randomly assigned to one of the following treatment groups based on a pre-generated randomization sequence:

Control Group: Vonoprazan combined with high-dose amoxicillin dual therapy for 14 days (VA-14): Vonoprazan 20mg twice daily + Amoxicillin 1g three times daily.

Experimental Group: Vonoprazan combined with high-dose amoxicillin and bismuth therapy for 7 days (VAB-7): Vonoprazan 20mg twice daily + Amoxicillin 1g three times daily+Bismuth 220mg twice daily.
