Stomach bacteria differences in H. pylori patients
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares the types of bacteria in the stomach of people infected with different strains of H. pylori (CagA positive vs. negative). It may help researchers understand how these bacteria affect health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a stomach infection with H. pylori bacteria (confirmed by a rapid test)
- You are scheduled for an upper endoscopy (EGD)
- You have not taken antibiotics, probiotics, or bismuth in the past 4 weeks
- You have not taken acid-reducing drugs (PPIs) in the past 2 weeks
- You have not taken NSAIDs or metformin in the past 2 weeks

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study follows people with an H. pylori stomach infection over the long term after treatment to see how it changes stomach findings. It may help doctors understand whether eradicating the infection improves stomach health and prevents worsening over time.
This study looks at whether having H. pylori infection (a common stomach bacteria) and certain features of stomach growth can predict how early stomach cancer or pre-cancerous changes will behave and what your long-term outlook might be. You may be eligible if you are being treated with a camera-based removal procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).
This study looks at how common a stomach bacteria infection is and which antibiotics still work. You may help researchers by providing consent for related study participation and sample tracking.
This study follows adults with past or current H. pylori infection to better understand stomach lining changes such as atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia, and to monitor for possible progression. It may help by improving how doctors track risk over time and use stored tissue samples to learn more.
This study looks at where H. pylori bacteria are found in the stomach. If you have tested positive for H. pylori through a stomach biopsy and haven't had stomach surgery or serious health issues, you may be able to join.
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.
