Abstract

Although vonoprazan has been proven to be a highly potent drug for Helicobacter pylori eradication, there have been no randomized trials comparing the effectiveness of regimens containing vonoprazan 20 mg daily with alternative standard strategies. We aimed to assess the efficacy, tolerance, and cost‐effectiveness of quadruple therapy with vonoprazan 20 mg daily as a first‐line therapy for H. pylori eradication.
