Check who should be tested for H. pylori to prevent stomach cancer
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at a screening plan to prevent stomach cancer by identifying people who should be tested and treated for H. pylori, a common stomach germ. If you have never had H. pylori testing or treatment, the trial may help determine the best approach for prevention.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult (age 20 or older)
- You have never been screened for H. pylori infection

This study tests and treats young adults for H. pylori, a stomach bacteria, to see if treating it reduces future health risks. If you haven't been treated for H. pylori before, you may join.
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 trial studies whether testing for an infection called H. pylori and using simple blood/screening tests (pepsinogen testing) can help prevent stomach cancer and reduce stomach-cancer-related deaths. You would be followed for health outcomes to see if the approach works better than standard care.
This trial tests whether treating certain high-risk types of H. pylori (a stomach bacteria) can prevent stomach cancer. If you are 40 or older and have a high-risk H. pylori strain, you may be able to join.
This study follows people who carry a high-risk type of Helicobacter pylori (a stomach bacteria) to see if they develop gastric cancer. It aims to understand who is most at risk and how to monitor them over time.
This study looks for early signs of stomach cancer and Barrett's esophagus (a precancerous condition) in people who are already getting a routine colonoscopy. By adding a quick upper endoscopy during the same visit, doctors can check for H. pylori infection and abnormal tissue changes without extra hassle.
