Could a fecal transplant beat a stubborn stomach bug?
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.

- 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.
