Aim: The aim was to compare the efficacy of high-dose amoxicillin and pantoprazole dual therapy for (HP) eradication in comparison with the clarithromycin-based quadruple regimen.
Material And Methods: The study was designed as a double blind, randomized controlled trial (RCT) on patients with confirmed HP infection referring to 8 medical centers in three countries - Iran, Egypt, and Vietnam - during October 2021 to March 2022. After obtaining written consent, the participants were randomly divided into two groups to receive either high-dose amoxicillin and pantoprazole dual therapy (group A) or the clarithromycin-based quadruple regimen (group B) for 2 weeks and followed by 4 weeks of therapy with pantoprazole.
