This study tests whether a 14-day treatment with bismuth and four drugs, chosen based on lab tests showing which antibiotics still work, can clear an extremely stubborn H. pylori infection that hasn't gone away after at least two prior treatments.
This study compares two different antibiotic regimens to eliminate Helicobacter pylori, a common stomach bacterium that can cause ulcers and digestive problems. You'll be randomly assigned to receive one of two treatment approaches and followed to see which works better.
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.
This study tests if analyzing a stool sample can help choose the right antibiotics to clear a stubborn H. pylori infection that hasn't been cured before. It aims to improve treatment success with 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.
