Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is the main cause of most gastroduodenal diseases. Triple therapy including two antibiotics, amoxicillin and clarithromycin, and a proton pump inhibitor given for a week has been recommended as the treatment of choice since the revision of the Korean H. pylori Clinical Practice Guidelines in 2013. However, antimicrobial resistance significantly decreased the cure rate of H. pylori eradication to 63.9%. Thus, the new H. pylori treatment regimen would be needed to increase the eradication rate in Korea. Recently, the update of clinical practice guideline for treatment of H. pylori was developed by conducting a meta-analysis. In this review, the recommended H. pylori eradication regimen in current 2020 guideline will be discussed.

Background There has been resurgence in the use of bismuth quadruple therapy (proton pump inhibitor, bismuth, tetracycline and metronidazole) for treating Helicobacter pylori infection thanks to a three-in-one single-capsule formulation. Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the single-capsule bismuth quadruple therapy. Methods Data were collected in a multicentre, prospective registry of the clinical practice of gastroenterologists on the management of H. pylori infection, where patients were registered at the Asociación Española de Gastroenterología REDCap database on an electronic case report form until January 2020. Effectiveness by modified intention-to-treat and per-protocol as well as multivariable analysis were performed. Independent factors evaluated were: age, gender, indication, compliance, proton pump inhibitor dose and treatment line. Results Finally, 2100 patients were prescribed single-capsule bismuth quadruple therapy following the technical sheet (i.e. three capsules every 6 hours for 10 days). The majority of these patients were naive (64%), with an average age of 50 years, 64% women and 16% with peptic ulcer. An overall modified intention-to-treat effectiveness of 92% was achieved. Eradication was over 90% in first-line treatment (95% modified intention-to-treat, n = 1166), and this was maintained as a rescue therapy, both in second (89% modified intention-to-treat, n = 375) and subsequent lines of therapy (third to sixth line: 92% modified intention-to-treat, n = 236). Compliance was the factor most closely associated with treatment effectiveness. Adverse events were generally mild to moderate, and 3% of patients reported a severe adverse event, leading to discontinuation of treatment in 1.7% of cases. Conclusions Single-capsule bismuth quadruple therapy achieved H. pylori eradication in approximately 90% of patients in real-world clinical practice, both as a first-line and rescue treatment, with good compliance and a favourable safety profile.

Proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-based therapy is standard to eradicate Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). Gastric acidity is lowered after gastrectomy because of bile reflux and impaired mechanism of acid secretion. Therefore, low-dose PPI may be effective for H. pylori eradication in the remnant stomach after gastrectomy. In this study, we compared the efficacy of low-dose PPI with standard double-dose PPI to eradicate H. pylori in patients who underwent subtotal gastrectomy. A total of 145 patients who were treated for eradication after gastrectomy was analyzed. They were treated with PPI-based triple regimen (PPI, clarithromycin and amoxicillin) for 14 days. We compared the eradication rate in the low-dose PPI group (lansoprazole 15 mg once daily) with that in the standard double-dose PPI group (lansoprazole 30 mg twice daily). The H. pylori eradication rate was 79.1% in the low-dose PPI group and 85.3% in the standard double-dose group; the difference was not significant statistically (p = 0.357). In the multivariate analysis, low-dose PPI (odds ratio (OR) = 1.79, 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.68–4.69) was not associated with eradication failure, while Billroth II anastomosis (OR = 4.45, 85% CI, 1.23–16.2) was significantly associated with eradication failure. Low-dose PPI-based triple regimen was as effective as standard double-dose PPI-based regimen for H. pylori eradication in patients with subtotal gastrectomy. Further study is needed to confirm the effect of low-dose PPI on H. pylori eradication in patients with gastrectomy.

Aims. To compare the efficacy and safety of vonoprazan-based versus proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-based triple therapy in the eradication of Helicobacter pylori. Methods. We performed a systematic search in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases for relevant randomized controlled trials up to March 2019. Studies were included if they compared the efficacy and safety of H. pylori eradication of vonoprazan-based and PPI-based triple therapy. Results. Three studies with 897 patients were evaluated in this meta-analysis. The H. pylori eradication rate of vonoprazan-based triple therapy was higher than that of PPI-based triple therapy as first-line regimens (intention-to-treat analysis: pooled eradication rates, 91.4% vs 74.8%; odds ratio [OR], 3.68; 95% confidence interval (CI): [1.87–7.26]; P<0.05). The incidence of adverse events in vonoprazan-based triple therapy was lower than that in PPI-based triple therapy (pooled incidence, 32.7% vs 40.5%; OR, 0.71; 95%CI: [0.53–0.95]; P<0.05). Conclusions. Efficacy of vonoprazan-based triple therapy is superior to that of PPI-based triple therapy for first-line H. pylori eradication. Additionally, vonoprazan-based triple therapy is better tolerated than PPI-based triple therapy.
