  • Helicobacter pylori eradication therapyBiological

    12 grams of egg yolk powder containing about 2 grams of antibody twice a day for 2 weeks along with usual antibiotic treatment including OAC or omeprazole (40 mg/day), clarithromycin (1000 mg/day) and amoxicillin (2000 mg/day).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Respiratory urea level (UBT) higher than cut off 50

    This test is performed with the help of a diagnostic kit. After oral ingestion of a capsule containing labeled carbon and the patient's exhalation into the kit, the amount of urea breathed in is determined by the device. A UBT value greater than 50 means Helicobacter pylori infection.

    Measured: Determination of respiratory urea (UBT) at the beginning of the study and 8 weeks after the start of the intervention

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Examining the patient's clinical symptoms including: abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and bloating.

    Based on the scoring of gastrointestinal symptoms (GSRS) in such a way that the score is calculated as follows: the number of participants with reduced abdominal pain: 0 (no symptoms), 1 (mild means the presence of tolerable symptoms), 2 (moderate means discomfort and interference) in normal activities), 3 (severe means inability to perform normal activities) -- the number of participants with reduced gastrointestinal symptoms: 0 (absence of nausea), 1 (temporary and short periods of nausea), 2 (frequent nausea) and long-term without vomiting), 3 (persistent nausea and frequent vomiting) -- the number of participants with reduced bloating: 0 (no bloating), 1 (short-term and temporary bloating), 2 (long-term but tolerable bloating), 3 (severe flatulence and interference in social functioning)

    Measured: During the treatment period for 4 weeks from the beginning of the intervention.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy in people with HELICOBACTER PYLORI INFECTIONS and Gastrointestinal Disease, run by Mashhad University of Medical Sciences at 2 sites in Iran.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 May 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Iran. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Respiratory urea level (UBT) higher than cut off 50 (time frame: Determination of respiratory urea (UBT) at the beginning of the study and 8 weeks after the start of the intervention). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06973889, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 May 2025.
