Check if stomach-bacteria testing improves rescue treatment for H. pylori
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to treat Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection that didn’t go away with prior therapy. One approach uses test results to guide which medicines to use, and the other uses standard (“empiric”) treatment. The goal is to see which works better and more safely as a rescue plan.

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 getting rid of an H. pylori infection in your stomach can help reduce symptoms like pain, bloating, or nausea. If you have this infection and stomach or gut issues, this treatment might make you feel better.
This study tests two different combinations of medications to treat H. pylori, a stomach bacteria that can cause ulcers. You would take one of the two combinations for a short time to see which works better at getting rid of the infection.
This study tests a new way to choose antibiotics for H. pylori infection when the usual treatment has failed. By looking at your stool sample, doctors can pick the medicine most likely to work for you.
This trial tests two different ways to treat Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a bacteria that can cause stomach ulcers. One treatment combines three medicines (bismuth, amoxicillin, and vonoprazan), and the other uses four medicines (bismuth quadruple therapy). The goal is to see which works better.
This trial tests a simpler two-drug treatment for H. pylori infection, chosen based on a stool test that checks if the bacteria are resistant to clarithromycin. It may help people who have not been treated before avoid unnecessary antibiotics.
