Summary

This study tests whether the drug pyrvinium can reverse early changes in the stomach lining that may lead to cancer. About 32 adults with a high-risk precancerous condition called gastric intestinal metaplasia will receive either the drug or a placebo. The goal is to see if the drug reduces the number of precancerous spots and to learn more about the condition using lab-grown stomach tissue.
