Background and aims: Tegoprazan (TEG) is a new potassium-competitive acid blocker that provides a long-lasting acid-suppressing effect. The role of TEGbased Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication regimens compared with proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-based regimens requires study.We conducted a comprehensive search across multiple databases. Studies comparing H. pylori eradication rates, adverse events (AEs), and compliance between TEG-based and PPI-based regimens were included. Statistical analyses were performed using RevMan 5.4.Results: Eight studies with 4640 patients were included. Based on intention-to-treat (ITT) analyses, the overall eradication rate (78.6% vs. 76.6%; odds ratio [OR] = 1.08, 95% CI: 0.93-1.24; p = 0.31, I² = 0%) and compliance (97.8% vs. 97.8%; OR = 1.16, 95% CI: 0.54-2.50; p = 0.33, I² = 13%) were comparable between the TEG and PPI groups. The AE rate of TEG-based regimens was significantly lower than that of PPIbased regimens (30.8% vs. 34.9%; OR = 0.88; 95% CI: 0.78-1.00; p = 0.04, I² = 67%), though this difference was not significant in RCTs. Subgroup analyses showed higher eradication rates in studies conducted in China, those with treatment durations of 10 or 14 days, and those using dual or bismuth quadruple regimens. However, treatment regimens did not significantly influence eradication rates within any subgroup.TEG-based H. pylori eradication treatment demonstrated eradication rates, compliance, and safety comparable to those of PPI-based regimens.
