study on the efficacy and safety of vonoprazan-containing berberine triple therapy in helicobacter pylori first-line eradication

Conditions: Helicobacter Pylori Infection; Chronic Gastritis

Summary: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the triple therapy of berberine hydrochloride, vonorasan and amoxicillin for the primary eradication of helicobacter pylori.it is hypothesized that berberine hydrochloride, amoxicillin and vonoprazan triple therapy is non-inferior to bismuth-containing quadruple therapy.patients diagnosed with h. pylori infection will be randomly divided into one of the above treatments. at week 6 follow-up visits, a urea breath test，rapid urease test or helicobacter pylori stool antigen test will be performed to confirm eradication.

the study will include three phases: screening, treatment and follow-up. screening: this phase will last a maximum of 14 days and subjects eligibility will be evaluated after signing informed consent. one of urea breath test，rapid urease test or helicobacter pylori stool antigen test will be performed in addition to the baseline routine evaluations. treatment: subjects are randomly assigned to treatment and will be treated for 14 days. a randomization visit will take place on day 0 and an end-of-treatment visit will take place between day 13 and 17. follow-up: includes one visits. approximately 28 days after the end of treatment. eradication of h. pylori will be confirmed by one of urea breath test，rapid urease test or helicobacter pylori stool antigen test.
