Fecal transplant to help eradicate stubborn Helicobacter pylori infection
Official title: Study on the Effect of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation on Eradication of Refractory Helicobacter Pylori Infection
Run by Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital · NCT07704255 · Data updated 2026-11-12

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18–70 with Helicobacter pylori infection that did not respond to at least four guideline-based treatments, including those with related gastric diseases requiring eradication of H. pylori.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with recent antibiotic or acid-suppressant use, pregnancy, intolerances to the investigational therapy, or other serious conditions may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This interventional study examines whether regulating the gut microbiota through transanal fecal microbiota transplant can contribute to eradicating refractory H. pylori infection. Eligible participants are adults 18–70 who have failed guideline-recommended therapies at least four times and have related gastric conditions. The trial focuses on a gut-modulating approach rather than another antibiotic regimen, with safety precautions and exclusion criteria to minimize risk. The lead site is Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital in Chengdu, China. The study is in Phase 4, reflecting evaluation in a real-world, post-approval context.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may achieve better chances of eradicating H. pylori when standard therapies have failed.
How similar studies have gone: There is limited published evidence for fecal microbiota transplantation addressing stubborn H. pylori infection; this approach is exploratory in this context.
