Abstract
Background
Vonoprazan, a potassium-competitive acid blocker, has demonstrated greater potency and a longer duration of acid suppression when compared to the proton pump inhibitors. However, data regarding the comparison between vonoprazan-based triple therapy with standard treatment for first-line Helicobacter pylori treatment are limited. This study aimed to compare the efficacy between 7-day vonoprazan-based triple therapy with high-dose amoxicillin (VAC-7) and 14-day extended sequential therapy (S-14).
Materials and Methods
This was a single-center prospective randomized controlled trial following a noninferiority design. Subjects over 20 years old with confirmed H. pylori infection were enrolled prospectively from Fu Jen Catholic University Hospital. They were randomly assigned to the VAC-7 or S-14 group. The primary endpoint was the eradication rate in first-line treatment, evaluated by urea breath test, with noninferiority determined using the Farrington–Manning method. The secondary outcome included adverse effect rates and compliance, assessed through self-administered questionnaires.
Results
Between December 2021 and June 2023, a total of 628 patients were recruited. The eradication rates by per-protocol analysis and intention-to-treat analysis were 88.6%/81.8% for VAC-7 and 90.3%/81.4% for S-14, respectively. The VAC-7 was non-inferior to S-14 in terms of ITT analysis. Subjects experienced fewer incidences of nausea, anorexia, dizziness, fatigue, and any severe adverse events in the VAC-7 group. Compliance was higher in the VAC-7 group, with 94% taking all the pills correctly.
Conclusions
Our findings supported the use of 7-day vonoprazan triple therapy with high-dose amoxicillin as the standard first-line treatment for H. pylori infection.
