About

This study is designed to demonstrate the non-inferiority and verify the safety of DWP14012-based triple therapy compared to DWC202301-based triple therapy as the first-line eradication therapy in patients who are positive for Helicobacter pylori

Enrollment: 461 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 19 to 75 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

1. Adult males and females ≥19 and ≤75 years of age at the time of giving informed consent

2. Those who have all positive test results for H. pylori (13C-urea breath test and CLO) at screening visit (Visit 1)

   • A positive 13C-UBT result
   • A positive CLO result

3. Those who require treatment for H. pylori eradication as at least one of the following applies:

   • Those who have peptic ulcer (gastric ulcer or duodenal ulcer) based on an upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy at screening visit (Visit 1)
   • Those who have chronic atrophic gastritis based on an upper GI endoscopy at screening visit (Visit 1)
   • Those with a history of endoscopic resection of early gastric cancer or gastric adenoma

Exclusion criteria

1. Those with significant upper GI bleeding

2. Those with a history of a surgical procedure that might affect gastric acid secretion (upper GI resection or vagotomy), or who are scheduled to undergo such procedure during this study

3. Those with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome or other gastric acid hypersecretion disorders

4. Those with a history of treatment for H. pylori eradication

5. Those with a history of any malignancy within recent 5 years prior to screening visit (Visit 1)

   • However, they can participate if 5 years have passed without recurrence after determined to achieve a complete remission (the complete removal of tumors through surgical procedures or the end of anticancer therapy)
   • Still, those with a history of malignancies in the digestive system, except early gastric cancer under the inclusion criteria, are excluded irrespective of a complete remission

6. Those who have experienced acute coronary artery disease (unstable angina, myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass graft, percutaneous coronary intervention), peripheral arterial disease and cerebrovascular disease (transient ischemic attack, stroke) within 24 weeks prior to screening visit (Visit 1)

7. Those with clinically significant systemic bleeding disorders, coagulation disorders, or severe blood disorders that make them ineligible for participation in this study

8. Those with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or viral hepatitis (tested positive for HBs antigen or HCV antibody) (However, subjects who are negative for HCV-RNA can participate.)

9. Those who meet the following criteria according to the results of the hepatic or renal level test performed at screening visit (Visit 1)

   • At least one of ALT, AST, ALP, γ-GTP and total bilirubin > 2 times the upper limit of normal
   • BUN > 2 times the upper limit of normal
   • Creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≤ 30 mL/min

10. Patients with uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure of ≥ 160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure of ≥ 100 mmHg at screening)

11. Patients with uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1c > 9.0 % at screening)
