ABSTRACT: Background and Aim:Inhibition of gastric acid secretion is important for eradicating Helicobacter pylori. Vonoprazan (VPZ) is a strong, long-lasting inhibitor of gastric acid secretion. Studies that examined the effectiveness of VPZ-based triple therapy in second-line treatment have been performed. However, there have been no randomized controlled studies to compare the effect between VPZ-based triple therapy and proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-based triple therapy in second-line treatment, and it is not known which is more effective between VPZ-based and PPI-based therapies. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of second-line triple therapies including VPZ or rabeprazole (RPZ) as the PPI. Methods:Eligible patients with H. pylori infection who failed first-line triple therapy were assigned randomly to the VPZ [VPZ40?mg/day, amoxicillin (AMPC) 1500?mg/day, metronidazole (MNZ) 500?mg/day] or RPZ (RPZ20?mg/day, AMPC1500?mg/day, MNZ500?mg/day) group. A 13C-urea breath test result of less than 2.5% was considered as successful eradication. Results:In total, 46 and 41 patients were analyzed as intention to treat (ITT) and per protocol (PP), respectively. Eradication rates in the VPZ and RPZ groups were 73.9% [95% confidence interval (CI) 51.6-89.8%] and 82.6% (95% CI 61.2-95.0%) based on ITT analysis, respectively (p?=?0.72). Based on PP analysis, the eradication rates in the VPZ and RPZ groups were 89.5% (95% CI 66.9-98.7%) and 86.4% (95% CI 65.1-97.1%), respectively (p?=?1.00). Two patients in the VPZ group and one in the RPZ group discontinued treatment due to side effects (p?=?1.00). Conclusion:There were no significant differences in efficacy and safety between second-line therapies including VPZ or RPZ.
