A Simplified, Non-Inferior Alternative to Bismuth Quadruple Regimens for H. pylori

RCT (China) | N=228
Primary Outcome
90.3%
Eradication Rate
Per-Protocol (14-THA)
Study Arms
14-THA (Winner) Rec
14 Days: Tegoprazan + Amoxicillin.
Simple Dual Therapy.
B-Quadruple Ctrl
14 Days: Esomeprazole + Bismuth + Amox + Tetra.
Complex Standard.
10-THA Fail
10 Days: Tegoprazan + Amoxicillin.
Insufficient Duration.
Efficacy Analysis (Per-Protocol)
14-THA is statistically non-inferior to B-Quadruple (p > 0.05).
Safety Profile
Adverse Events (14-THA) 15.2%
Adverse Events (B-Quad) 20.6%

While not statistically significant, the Dual Therapy showed a numerically lower incidence of adverse events compared to the Quadruple regimen.

Adherence
Compliance Rate >93%

High adherence across all groups.

Clinical Takeaway: The 14-Day Tegoprazan-Amoxicillin Dual Therapy is recommended as a preferred first-line treatment. It offers high eradication rates comparable to Bismuth Quadruple therapy but with a simplified drug regimen. (Avoid the 10-day regimen).
