Using ultrasound and blood test to predict ulcer complications
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You have stomach symptoms like pain, nausea, vomiting, or heartburn
- You may have a peptic ulcer (stomach or duodenal ulcer) or are at risk for one
- You have not had stomach surgery or active cancer
- You have not taken H. pylori antibiotics in the last 4 weeks

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether a common stomach acid medication (PPIs) affects the accuracy of a stool test for detecting H. pylori, a bacteria that can cause ulcers and stomach inflammation. Understanding this helps doctors know when the stool test works best.
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 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.
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 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.
