A 10-Day h. pylori cure? new trial tests a streamlined approach
NCT ID NCT07750938
First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial compares two ways to eradicate H. pylori, a common stomach infection linked to ulcers and stomach cancer. One group receives a 10-day course of a high-dose acid blocker plus one antibiotic, while the other gets the standard 14-day four-drug regimen. The goal is to see if the shorter, simpler treatment can achieve similar eradication rates with fewer side effects and better adherence. Adults aged 18-70 with a confirmed H. pylori infection and no prior treatment are eligible to participate.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Keverprazan hydrochloride (a stomach acid blocker) combined with minocycline (an antibiotic), compared to a standard four-drug regimen including bismuth and amoxicillin.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a shorter, simpler, and better-tolerated treatment for H. pylori, potentially improving adherence and reducing side effects while maintaining high cure rates.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is relatively small and open-label, which may introduce bias. The shorter regimen might not be as effective as the standard one, and the higher acid-blocker dose could increase side effects.
