Bismuth therapy for H. pylori ulcers in children
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding bismuth to standard treatment works better for children with stomach ulcers caused by H. pylori infection. If your child has been diagnosed with an H. pylori ulcer, this study could help find the best medicine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Diagnosis was confirmed by a scope (endoscopy) or biopsy.
- A parent or guardian must agree to let the child join the study.
- Your child cannot be allergic to any of the study medicines.
- Your child must not have taken antibiotics or bismuth in the last 4 weeks.
- Your child must not have taken acid-reducing medicines (like Prilosec, Pepcid, or antacids) in the last 2 weeks.

This trial tests if adding sodium bicarbonate to standard quadruple therapy works better for clearing H. pylori stomach infections. It is for adults who have not been treated for H. pylori before.
This study tests how long (10 or 14 days) a combination of four medicines (bismuth quadruple therapy) should be taken to best treat H. pylori infection, and whether the best duration differs between women and men. It aims to find the shortest effective treatment to reduce side effects.
This trial compares two common stomach medicine plans that use bismuth for 10 days versus 14 days to clear an H. pylori infection. It may help you find a shorter or more effective treatment schedule if you have H. pylori confirmed by an endoscopy.
This trial tests if a newer acid-blocking medicine works better than a standard one when given with antibiotics and bismuth for treating H. pylori infection, a bacteria that can cause stomach ulcers. It is for adults who have not had treatment for H. pylori before.
This study tests a combination of a probiotic (Saccharomyces boulardii) plus a standard bismuth-based four-drug treatment for people whose H. pylori infection has not been cured by previous treatments. It aims to see if adding the probiotic helps the treatment work better and cause fewer side effects.
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.
