Abstract
Within 12 years of the discovery of Helicobacter pylori and recognition of its importance in ulcer disease, highly effective 1-week regimes for its eradication had become widely used1–3. This rapid progress was achieved with results from a relatively small number of trials that were very pragmatic and often under-powered4, an interesting illustration of the fact that progress can, and usually does, occur in the absence of orthodox research design. As a result, management of H. pylori-associated peptic ulcer has been revolutionized by becoming substantially better and substantially cheaper.
