Bismuth treatment for H. pylori: 10 or 14 days
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This trial compares two common stomach medicine plans that use bismuth for 10 days versus 14 days to clear an H. pylori infection. It may help you find a shorter or more effective treatment schedule if you have H. pylori confirmed by an endoscopy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be older than 18 years
- Be getting an endoscopy (gastroscopy) because of stomach symptoms like indigestion, acid reflux, black stools, or vomiting blood
- Do not have a bleeding problem that makes bleeding more likely
- Do not have major serious illnesses, stomach cancer (malignancy), or other major conditions that are not suitable for study
- Do not have chemotherapy in the last month or steroid treatment in the last month
- Do not have used antibiotics in the last month, or aspirin/NSAIDs/COX-2 inhibitors in the last 4 weeks

This study tests how long (10 or 14 days) a combination of four medicines (bismuth quadruple therapy) should be taken to best treat H. pylori infection, and whether the best duration differs between women and men. It aims to find the shortest effective treatment to reduce side effects.
This study tests a combination of a probiotic (Saccharomyces boulardii) plus a standard bismuth-based four-drug treatment for people whose H. pylori infection has not been cured by previous treatments. It aims to see if adding the probiotic helps the treatment work better and cause fewer side effects.
This study tests whether adding a probiotic (a healthy bacteria supplement) to the standard four-drug treatment for H. pylori infection helps get rid of the bacteria better and with fewer side effects. It may help make your treatment more effective and easier to tolerate.
This study is testing whether giving H. pylori treatment based on the specific bacteria found in your stomach works better than the standard one-size-fits-all approach. If you are already getting an endoscopy with a biopsy, this trial could help find the most effective medication for your infection.
This trial tests whether adding bismuth to standard treatment works better for children with stomach ulcers caused by H. pylori infection. If your child has been diagnosed with an H. pylori ulcer, this study could help find the best medicine.
This trial tests a 14-day treatment using bismuth, amoxicillin, and a stomach acid reducer (PCAB) to see how well it clears H. pylori, a bacteria that can cause stomach ulcers. It may be an option if you have H. pylori and haven't had stomach surgery or certain serious health conditions.
