NCT ID NCT07333001

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looked at 508 adults with H. pylori infection to see if a 7-day triple therapy (vonoprazan, amoxicillin, tetracycline) works as well as a 14-day dual therapy (vonoprazan, amoxicillin). The goal was to compare how often the infection is cleared and how many side effects occur. The study used past medical records from a hospital in China.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
vonoprazan, amoxicillin, and tetracycline
What this could lead to
If successful, a shorter 7-day treatment could be as effective as the standard 14-day regimen, making it more convenient for patients.
What could go wrong
This is a retrospective study, not a randomized trial, so results may be less reliable. The shorter regimen may not work as well in people with antibiotic resistance.
