Core Tip

Core Tip: Our study was a prospective, multicenter, randomized, two-stage study for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication in Chinese population. We found that a daily dose of 20 mg of Vonoprazan was sufficient to eradicate H. pylori. We also found that compared to bismuth quadruple therapy, Vonoprazan-amoxicillin dual therapy with a duration of 10 days or 14 days, rather than 7 days, achieved higher eradication rates and that the safety profile of this dual therapy was more tolerable and manageable in Chinese patients. These results will guide further research and clinical practice for H. pylori eradication.
