New stomach bug treatment battle: which drug combo wins?
NCT ID NCT07242456
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two different 14-day treatments for Helicobacter pylori, a bacteria that can cause stomach ulcers. About 240 adults with confirmed infection will take either tegoprazan or vonoprazan, both combined with amoxicillin. The goal is to see if the newer tegoprazan combo works as well as the standard vonoprazan combo at clearing the infection, while also checking for side effects and how well people follow the treatment.
