Personalized H. pylori rescue treatment using a stool test
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to choose antibiotics for H. pylori infection that didn't go away after first treatment. It uses a stool test to look for antibiotic resistance genes, which may help pick a more effective treatment for you.

This study compares different first-line antibiotic treatments for H. pylori, a stomach infection that can cause ulcers and other issues. It uses a stool test to choose the best treatment for each person, aiming to improve cure rates and reduce antibiotic resistance.
This study tests a new lab method to check if your H. pylori bacteria are resistant to the antibiotic clarithromycin, which helps doctors choose the best treatment for you. It uses the tissue samples already collected during your endoscopy.
This study tests a 14-day treatment plan for people whose H. pylori infection has not been cured by previous treatments. The plan is guided by lab tests to choose the best antibiotics, which may increase the chance of clearing the infection.
This study checks if a stool test can find H. pylori bacteria in children, instead of using a stomach biopsy during an endoscopy. It may help diagnose stomach issues with less discomfort.
This study tests a new way to choose antibiotics for H. pylori infection when the usual treatment has failed. By looking at your stool sample, doctors can pick the medicine most likely to work for you.
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.
