Popis: Background/Aims: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is the most prevalent infection in the world and is strongly associated with gastric adenocarcinoma, lymphoma and gastric or duodenal ulcers. Different regimens have been used for H. pylori eradication. We aimed to compare the efficacy of two different regimens as first-line H. pylori eradication regimens, in an area with high antibiotic resistance. Methods: In this RCT, we assigned 223 patients with H. pylori infection, who were naïve to treatment. They were randomly divided into two groups to receive either 12-day concomitant quadruple therapy (consisting of pantoprazole 40 mg, amoxicillin 1 g, clarithromycin 500 mg, and metronidazole 500 mg every 12 hours) or 14-day high dose dual therapy (consisting of esomeprazole 40 mg and amoxicillin 1 g TDS). H. pylori eradication was assessed eight weeks after the end of treatment. Results: H. pylori eradication rate by PP analysis for 12-day concomitant quadruple therapy and 14-day high dose dual therapy were 90.4% and 79.1%, respectively (p=0.02). According to ITT analysis, the eradication rates were 86.2% and 76.3%, respectively (p=0.06). Adverse drug reactions were 12.3% in high dose dual therapy and 36.8% in concomitant quadruple therapy (p
