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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
fecal microbiota transplant given through the anus
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new way to treat hard-to-clear H. pylori infections without relying on more antibiotics.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early-phase trial with only 10 participants, so results may not apply widely. The procedure carries risks of infection or other complications from the transplant.
