Core Tip

Core Tip: The global burden of Helicobacter pylori infection is high. Triple and quadruple therapies are both classical regimens. The effect of high-dose dual therapy (HDDT) compared to classical regimens in different regions/populations is unclear. Our study found HDDT based on vonoprazan was non-inferior to the vonoprazan triple regimen. Classical quadruple therapy had a higher eradication rate than HDDT based on esomeprazole, but in modified intention-to-treat and per-protocol analysis, EA therapy was non-inferior to B-quadruple therapy.
