NCT ID NCT06950489

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested a two-drug combination—tegoprazan (a stomach acid blocker) and amoxicillin (an antibiotic)—to treat H. pylori infection, a common stomach bug that can cause ulcers. The trial enrolled 50 adults who had not been treated for H. pylori before. The goal was to see if this simpler regimen could effectively clear the infection with fewer side effects than standard three- or four-drug treatments.

Active substance

tegoprazan and amoxicillin

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a simpler, well-tolerated treatment option for H. pylori infection, especially when other antibiotics don't work.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early feasibility study with only 50 participants. It may not prove the treatment works better than existing options, and results may not apply to everyone.
