About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Tegoprazan 50 mg BID Combined With Amoxicillin 1 g TID Versus Tegoprazan 50 mg BID Combined With Amoxicillin 1.5 g BID for the Eradication of Helicobacter Pylori

This study is designed to evaluate two different tegoprazan-based dual therapy regimens for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. All participants will receive tegoprazan 50 mg twice daily for 14 days, combined with one of two amoxicillin dosing schedules that contain the same total daily dose of 3 grams of amoxicillin.

One group will receive amoxicillin 1 gram three times daily (TID), which is the standard regimen. The other group will receive amoxicillin 1.5 grams twice daily (BID), an alternative schedule that may improve convenience and treatment adherence while maintaining the same total daily antibiotic amount.

A total of 240 adults with confirmed H. pylori infection will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups. The main goal of the study is to compare the H. pylori eradication rates between the two regimens. Eradication will be assessed 4 to 8 weeks after completing therapy using a ¹³C-urea breath test. Safety, tolerability, and medication adherence will also be monitored.

Read the detailed description

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is a common and clinically important condition associated with peptic ulcer disease, gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, and gastric cancer. Effective eradication remains essential for reducing long-term complications. Traditional proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-based regimens have faced challenges due to rising antibiotic resistance and suboptimal acid suppression.

Tegoprazan is a potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB) that provides rapid, potent, and sustained gastric acid inhibition, which may enhance the effectiveness of amoxicillin-based dual therapy. Amoxicillin resistance remains low in many regions, and its efficacy is closely related to maintaining intragastric pH levels that support bacterial replication.

The standard tegoprazan dual therapy uses amoxicillin 1 gram three times daily (TID). However, TID dosing may affect patient adherence, which can influence eradication outcomes. This study explores an alternative regimen: amoxicillin 1.5 grams twice daily (BID). The two regimens deliver the same total daily dose of 3 grams of amoxicillin, but the BID schedule may improve convenience and medication compliance while maintaining appropriate pharmacodynamic exposure.

This randomized, controlled clinical trial is designed to compare the eradication efficacy, safety, and tolerability of these two dosing strategies in adults with confirmed H. pylori infection. By evaluating whether a simplified BID regimen can achieve non-inferior or superior eradication rates compared with the standard TID regimen, the study aims to provide evidence that may support more convenient dual therapy options for H. pylori management.

Tegoprazan 50 mg BID + Amoxicillin 1.5 g BIDExperimentalParticipants in this arm will receive tegoprazan 50 mg orally twice daily (BID) in combination with amoxicillin 1.5 grams orally twice daily (BID) for 14 days. This regimen delivers the same total daily dose of amoxicillin (3 grams) as the standard therapy but uses a reduced dosing frequency to evaluate whether a BID schedule can improve convenience, adherence, and eradication outcomes.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. H. pylori Eradication Rate

    Eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection confirmed by a negative ¹³C-urea breath test performed 4 to 8 weeks after the end of the 14-day treatment regimen.

    Measured: 4 to 8 weeks after completion of therapy

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Incidence of Adverse Events

    The number and proportion of participants reporting any adverse events during the 14-day treatment period, assessed by patient report, clinical evaluation, and laboratory findings.

    Measured: From Day 1 to Day 14 (treatment period)

  2. Incidence of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Serious adverse events, defined according to standard regulatory criteria (life-threatening events, hospitalization, significant disability, or other medically significant events).

    Measured: From Day 1 to study completion (approximately 8-10 weeks)

  3. Medication Adherence Rate

    Adherence assessed by pill count and participant self-report. Adherence will be expressed as the percentage of prescribed doses actually taken during the 14-day treatment period.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 14

  4. Change in Gastrointestinal Symptom Scores

    Improvement in gastrointestinal symptoms (such as epigastric discomfort, bloating, nausea), assessed using a standardized symptom questionnaire. Higher scores indicate more severe symptoms.

    Measured: Baseline to Day 14
