Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

This is a randomized, two-arm, parallel-group study in which participants are allocated in a 1:1 ratio to receive tegoprazan plus amoxicillin 1 g TID or tegoprazan plus amoxicillin 1.5 g BID for 14 days.
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

NONE

This is an open-label trial. Masking is not feasible because the two study arms use different dosing frequencies (BID vs TID), which cannot be blinded to participants or study personnel.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Tegoprazan 50 mg BID + Amoxicillin 1 g TID

Participants in this arm will receive tegoprazan 50 mg orally twice daily (BID) in combination with amoxicillin 1 gram orally three times daily (TID) for 14 days. This regimen represents the standard dual therapy dosing schedule for Helicobacter pylori eradication.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Tegoprazan 50 mg

Intervention Type DRUG

Tegoprazan 50 mg administered orally twice daily (BID) for 14 days.

Amoxicillin 1 g TID

Intervention Type DRUG

Amoxicillin 1 gram administered orally three times daily (TID) for 14 days.

Tegoprazan 50 mg BID + Amoxicillin 1.5 g BID

Participants 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.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention Type DRUG

Tegoprazan 50 mg administered orally twice daily (BID) for 14 days.

Amoxicillin 1.5 g BID

Intervention Type DRUG

Amoxicillin 1.5 grams administered orally twice daily (BID) for 14 days.
