H. pylori and insulin resistance in people with metabolic syndrome

Official title: Assessing the Association Between H. Pylori Persistence and the Severity of Insulin Resistance in Patients With Metabolic Syndrome Cohort Observational Study

Run by Center of New Medical Technologies · NCT07501858 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This project will test whether people with metabolic syndrome who still have H. pylori infection have worse insulin resistance (measured by HOMA-IR) than similar patients without the infection.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults with confirmed metabolic syndrome by NCEP-ATP III who received gastrointestinal testing and have fasting laboratory data available to calculate HOMA-IR at the CNMT site.

Probably not a fit

Patients without metabolic syndrome, those lacking H. pylori testing or fasting labs, or those currently on therapies that substantially alter metabolic measures are unlikely to gain from this analysis.

What this trial studies

This retrospective cohort review uses medical records from 100 patients with metabolic syndrome seen at the Center for New Medical Technologies in Novosibirsk. Patients are divided into two groups of 50 with and without confirmed H. pylori infection based on breath test, stool antigen, or biopsy results, and fasting labs and metabolic parameters were extracted. The primary endpoint is the difference in HOMA-IR between the infected and non-infected groups; secondary analyses examine correlations between infection persistence, markers of gastric inflammation (gastro panel, CRP), and other metabolic markers. Statistical comparisons and correlation analyses will determine whether persistent H. pylori infection is linked to greater insulin resistance.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If a clear link is found, identifying and treating persistent H. pylori could become a target to help improve insulin resistance and reduce metabolic complications.

How similar studies have gone: Previous meta-analyses and cohort studies have reported an association between H. pylori infection and increased risk of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance, but evidence on whether eradication improves metabolic measures is mixed.
