NCT ID NCT06610266
First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether Weifuchun tablets can reverse gastric intestinal metaplasia, a condition where stomach lining cells change and may raise cancer risk. Adults without H. pylori infection will take Weifuchun or folic acid daily for six months, with regular checkups. The study compares how often the condition regresses or progresses in each group.
