      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Participant allocation to the two treatment arms (Vonoprazan-Amoxicillin and Lansoprazole-Amoxicillin) will be performed using Block Randomization with variable block sizes. This method is used to ensure an approximately equal distribution of participants between the two groups throughout the recruitment period, thereby maintaining balance.The randomization unit is at the Individual level.The random sequence will be generated by an individual independent of the study's executive team, utilizing a statistical software package (such as R or Stata). This output will establish the allocation sequence (Group A or Group B).Allocation concealment will be ensured through the use of sequentially numbered, opaque, and sealed envelopes. These envelopes, containing the group assignment code (A or B), will be prepared according to the random sequence and held by an independent party (e.g., the study pharmacist). After the final confirmation of eligibility criteria by the physician, the next available numbered envelope will be assigned to the participant and opened to reveal the treatment group. This procedure ensures that neither the treating physician nor the participant can foresee the next assignment prior to enrollment, Blinding description: The study will employ a double-blind design, ensuring that both the participants (patients) and the clinical team responsible for treatment and outcome assessment (physicians and assessors) are unaware of the treatment allocation. To implement this, the comparative drugs (Vonoprazan and Lansoprazole) will be prepared and packaged by the study pharmacist in capsules or containers that are identical in appearance, color, and size. These medications will be distributed using a secure, pre-assigned coding system (Allocation Concealment). The code will be held by an independent party and remain unbroken until the final data analysis. The primary outcome assessment (H. pylori eradication status via the Stool Antigen Test) will also be performed by a blinded investigator.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: This group will receive the dual therapy regimen consisting of Vonoprazan and Amoxicillin. The Vonoprazan dose is 20 milligrams, twice daily , and the Amoxicillin dose is 1 gram, twice daily. The treatment duration for this group is 14 days, and the administration method is oral. Intervention 2: Control group: This group will receive the dual therapy regimen consisting of Lansoprazole and Amoxicillin. The Lansoprazole dose is 30 milligrams, twice daily , and the Amoxicillin dose is 1 gram, twice daily. The treatment duration for this group is also 14 days, and the administration method is oral.</i_freetext>
