New two-drug combo may beat standard four-drug therapy for stomach bug
NCT ID NCT05647278
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a simpler two-drug treatment (tegoprazan and amoxicillin) works better than the standard four-drug therapy for eradicating H. pylori, a bacteria that can cause stomach ulcers. 370 adults with H. pylori infection were randomly assigned to one of the two treatments. The main goal was to see which treatment cleared the infection more effectively after four weeks.
