( 1.1 ) VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK, is a co-packaged product containing vonoprazan, a PCAB, and amoxicillin, a penicillin class antibacterial, indicated for the treatment of H.

pylori infection in adults.

( 1.1 ) To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK, VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK and other antibacterial drugs, VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria.

( 1.2 ) 1.1 Helicobacter pylori Infection VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK or VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK are indicated for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori ( H.

pylori ) infection in adults [see Clinical Studies (14) ].

1.2 Usage To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK, VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK and other antibacterial drugs, VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria.

When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy.

In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

Adverse Reactions with VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK The safety of VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK was evaluated in 675 adult patients (aged 20 to 82 years) in clinical trials in the United States, Europe and Japan and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK was evaluated in 348 adult patients (aged 20 to 80 years) in a clinical trial in the United States and Europe.

All the patients were screened and found to be positive for H.

pylori infection.

The safety of VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK was evaluated in a randomized, controlled, double-blind triple therapy/open-label dual therapy study conducted in the United States and Europe in treatment-naïve H.

pylori -positive adult patients.

Patients were randomized 1:1:1 to vonoprazan 20 mg twice daily plus amoxicillin 1,000 mg twice daily plus clarithromycin 500 mg twice daily (VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK) or vonoprazan 20 mg twice daily plus amoxicillin 1,000 mg three times daily (VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK) or lansoprazole 30 mg twice daily plus amoxicillin 1,000 mg twice daily plus clarithromycin 500 mg twice daily (LAC) administered for 14 consecutive days.

A total of 346 patients received VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK in the study, 348 received VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK and 345 received LAC.

These patients had a mean age of 51 years (range 20 to 87 years); 62.2% were female, 89.3% were White, 7.4% Black or African American, 1.5% were Asian and 1.8% were others with 72.5% non-Hispanic or Latino.

Adverse Reactions Leading to Discontinuation Treatment discontinuation due to an adverse reaction occurred in 2.3% (8/346) of the VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK-treated patients, 0.9% (3/348) of the VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK-treated patients and 1.2% (4/345) of the LAC-treated patients.

The most common adverse reactions leading to discontinuation of VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK were diarrhea (0.6%) and hypertension (0.6%) and the most common adverse reaction leading to discontinuation of VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK was rash (0.6%).

Most Common Adverse Reactions The adverse reactions occurring in ≥2% of patients are described in Table 3.
