NCT ID NCT07574879

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether treating a common stomach infection (H. pylori) can improve symptoms and lung function in people with COPD. Researchers will give standard antibiotic therapy to 54 H. pylori-positive COPD patients and then measure changes in their breathing tests and symptom scores. It is a small early-phase trial, so results will be preliminary.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Standard H. pylori eradication therapy (proton pump inhibitor and antibiotics)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new way to improve COPD symptoms and lung function by treating an underlying infection.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early-phase study with only 54 participants. It may not show clear benefits, and the results may not apply to all COPD patients.
