H. pylori and disease activity in lupus and rheumatoid arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Digestive system, Immune system & allergy, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at whether having an H. pylori infection affects how active lupus (SLE) or rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is. It may help find new ways to manage these conditions.

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.
This trial tests whether adding vitamin D to standard H. pylori treatment helps clear the infection better in children. Children with H. pylori and ongoing symptoms may benefit from this extra therapy.
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 uses a simple stomach ultrasound and a blood test for H. pylori bacteria to help predict serious ulcer complications like bleeding or perforation. It may help doctors decide if you need urgent treatment.
This trial studies how to eradicate Helicobacter pylori (a germ in the stomach) and monitor follow-up results after treatment. You may be a candidate if you have confirmed infection and have not taken certain stomach medicines or antibiotics recently.
This study looks at how stomach bacteria (Helicobacter pylori) interact with the normal microbes in your gut. You may be asked to provide tissue, stool, and blood samples to help researchers understand infection and the body’s response.
