Predicting Ulcer Complications with a Blood Test and Ultrasound
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study uses a simple blood test and an ultrasound (sound wave imaging) of your stomach to help doctors predict if an ulcer is about to cause serious problems, like bleeding or a tear. It could help you get the right care sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You should have stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, or heartburn, or have been told you have a peptic ulcer.
- You should not have had stomach surgery in the past.
- You should not have stomach cancer or lymphoma that is active.
- You should not have taken H. pylori treatment in the last 4 weeks or acid-reducing pills (like omeprazole) in the last 2 weeks.
- You should not be pregnant or have heavy bleeding problems.

This study looks at two simple blood tests to see if they can show how severe your stomach inflammation is, which is caused by an H. pylori infection. It may help doctors understand your condition better and guide treatment.
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 Phase 3 study tests whether a urea breath test can confirm that H. pylori infection has been cleared after recent treatment. If the test works well, it may help doctors confirm cure without needing invasive procedures.
This trial checks whether an artificial intelligence (computer) system can help diagnose Helicobacter pylori (a common stomach bacteria) and early stomach “premalignant” changes using endoscopy results. It may help doctors spot problems more accurately when you have a scheduled scope.
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 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.
