Article Synopsis
  • * Twenty patients who had failed previous eradication therapies participated in the study, and the treatment lasted for 14 days, which was adjusted by removing any resistant drugs identified in prior tests.
  • * The resulting eradication rates were 63.2% in overall analysis and 70.6% when strictly adhering to the protocol, suggesting this modified therapy could be an effective option after other treatments have failed, with no serious side effects reported.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two first-line treatments for Helicobacter pylori eradication: a triple therapy featuring vonoprazan, amoxicillin, and metronidazole (VAM) versus another using vonoprazan, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin (VAC).
  • - Conducted in Japan with 124 participants, the trial showed that both treatments yielded similar success rates for eradication, around 91% for VAM and 89% for VAC, without significant differences between them.
  • - The results indicate that VAM can be considered an effective first-line treatment and suggests its classification as a grade B regimen, indicating a good potential for national insurance approval in Japan.

Aim: This was a prospective, multicenter, single-arm intervention, against historical controls, study of the efficacy of a vonoprazan-based 7-day triple regimen with metronidazole (VPZ-AMPC-MNZ) as a first-line therapy for eradicating clarithromycin-resistant ().

Methods: We enrolled 35 patients positive for clarithromycin-resistant , as assessed by culture, without a history of eradication. These 35 patients were prospectively eradicated with VPZ-AMPC-MNZ.
