Testing a faster lab method for clarithromycin resistance in H. pylori
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be having an endoscopy (gastroscopy) to check for H. pylori infection, with tissue samples (biopsies) taken from your stomach.
- The biopsy must be confirmed by a lab test to contain H. pylori bacteria.
- You cannot have taken antibiotics in the last 4 weeks (this could affect the bacteria count).
- You cannot have taken heartburn or reflux medications (proton pump inhibitors) in the last 2 weeks.

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 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 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 compares two different acid-reducing medications, given with or without zinc, to see which is safer and works best for treating H. pylori. All treatments are combined with two antibiotics.
This study is testing whether giving H. pylori treatment based on the specific bacteria found in your stomach works better than the standard one-size-fits-all approach. If you are already getting an endoscopy with a biopsy, this trial could help find the most effective medication for your infection.
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.
