NCT ID NCT05209633

First seen Jul 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial tests whether Dendrobii granules, a traditional Chinese herbal remedy, can improve chronic atrophic gastritis — a condition where the stomach lining thins and raises the risk of stomach cancer. Twenty adults with the condition will receive either the granules or a placebo for 18 weeks. The goal is to see if the treatment can reverse precancerous changes in the stomach lining.
