About

A multi-center, randomized, double-blind, bismuth-containing quadruple active comparator-controlled Phase 3 clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Rifasutenizol in combination with rabeprazole and amoxicillin in the primary treatment of participants with H. pylori infection using an adaptive design with sample size re-estimation.

Full description

Subjects will be randomly assigned to test group or control group at a 1:1 ratio stratified by study site, and will receive Rifasutenizol capsules, rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated tablets, amoxicillin capsules combined with clarithromycin placebo tablets and bismuth potassium citrate placebo capsules (test group), or bismuth-containing quadruple regimen of amoxicillin capsules, clarithromycin tablets, rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated tablets and bismuth potassium citrate capsules combined with Rifasutenizol placebo capsules (control group) for 14 consecutive days.

carbon-13 (13C) UBT will be performed 4-6 weeks after the last dose to evaluate the eradication effect of H. pylori.

Enrollment: 700 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 65 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
