Efficacy and Safety of a Triple Eradication Scheme for Helicobacter Pylori Based on Tegoprazan vs Esomeprazole

Summary

In Mexico, quadruple therapy is used to treat Helicobacter pylori (H.P.) at the expense of greater adverse effects, costs, and lower adherence to treatment. According to evidence, a competitive potassium channel blocker (P-CAB) is non-inferior to a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and can improve the eradication rate of H.P. while maintaining triple therapy antibiotics (amoxicillin-clarithromycin) without increasing adverse effects, fewer drugs and better adherence to treatment. It is proposed to study the effect of a P-CAB in the eradication of H.P. as part of a triple therapy in Mexican patients, assuming that the efficacy and safety of a triple therapy of amoxicillin-clarithromycin-tegoprazan will be superior to amoxicillin-clarithromycin-esomeprazole.
