Simethicone for Better H. pylori Detection in Endoscopy
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a medicine called simethicone (often used for gas) helps doctors find H. pylori bacteria more clearly during a routine stomach exam. If you have H. pylori, this could make diagnosis easier and more accurate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a treatment combining a probiotic (Saccharomyces boulardii) with an antibiotic (minocycline) for people who have never been treated for H. pylori infection. It aims to see if this combination works well and is safe.
This trial tests whether taking two medicines (N-acetylcysteine and simethicone) before an upper endoscopy helps the doctor see the stomach lining more clearly. It may be an option for people having their first endoscopy, without active bleeding.
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 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 tests whether a new stomach acid medicine called vonoprazan, combined with different antibiotics, works better than standard treatments to clear an H. pylori infection. It is for people who have never been treated for H. pylori and want to try a shorter, simpler treatment course.
This trial tests whether a new medication called anaprazole sodium, combined with other antibiotics and bismuth, can effectively cure a common stomach bacteria infection called Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). If you have this infection and have never been treated for it before, this study might help you while contributing to medical knowledge.
