Screening and treatment for Helicobacter pylori in teens
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This trial checks teenagers for a long-lasting H. pylori stomach infection and then treats those who need it. It may help prevent ongoing stomach problems from the infection and compare outcomes between treated and non-treated groups.

This study tests a two-drug antibiotic treatment for teens with an H. pylori stomach infection, which can cause ulcers and stomach pain. If you or your teen have had H. pylori and have not gotten better with other treatments, this could be a good option.
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 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 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.
This trial is for adults aged 18 to 80 who have a Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in their stomach and have never been treated for it. The study will look at how treating the infection affects symptoms like indigestion or stomach pain.
