The Evaluation of Triple Therapy With Vonoprazan, Amoxicillin and Bismuth for Eradication of Helicobacter Pylori

Overview

The eradication rate of standard quadruple therapy has become less successful due to low compliance and high resistance to antibiotics. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new treatment strategies that increase the eradication rate and reduce adverse effects. The aim of this prospective study is to investigate the efficacy of Triple Therapy with Vonoprazan, Amoxicillin, and Bismuth for eradication of Hp, compared with standard quadruple therapy.

In China, the first-line therapy to treat Helicobacter pylori (Hp) consists of a bismuth-based proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and two antibiotics for 14 days.But, eradication has become less successful due to low compliance and high resistance to antibiotics. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new treatment strategies that increase the eradication rate and reduce adverse effects. Vonoprazan is a novel potassium-competitive acid blocker more effective in suppressing acid production than proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Several studies previously suggested that vonoprazan containing antibiotic therapy was superior to other PPI-containing therapies for Hp. Most strains of Helicobacter pylori are sensitive to amoxicillin. Bismuth salts, a topical agent, which are available in our country, have a synergistic effect on antibiotics and decrease the bacterial load. Therefore, the investigators performed a prospective, multi-center, randomized trial, to investigate the efficacy of Triple Therapy with Vonoprazan, Amoxicillin, and Bismuth for eradication of Hp, compared with standard quadruple therapy.
