NCT ID NCT07704255

First seen Jul 15, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether transplanting healthy gut bacteria from a donor can help clear a hard-to-treat H. pylori infection. Adults aged 18 to 70 who have failed at least four standard treatments will receive a fecal microbiota transplant through the anus. The goal is to see if this approach can successfully eradicate the bacteria, offering an alternative for those with resistant infections.
