NCT06871579
Background: Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium that infects the lining of the stomach and intestines. It can cause peptic ulcers, cancers, and infections. Current methods of diagnosing H. pylori infections have limitations. Researchers want to test a new method of testing for H. pylori. Objective: To compare the esophageal string test (EST) to standard tests for detecting H. pylori infection. Eligibility: People aged 18 years or older with persistent H. pylori infection. Design: Participants will have 3 or 4 clinic visits over 2 to 4 months. Screening visit: Participants will have a physical exam. They will provide a stool sample. Baseline visit: Participants will have blood tests. Then they will have the EST: One end of a string will be taped to the outside of their cheek; the other end will be packed into a capsule. Participants will swallow the capsule, and the string will unwind down their throat into their stomach. The string will be left in for at least 1 hour. Then researchers will gently pull out the string. The fluids soaked into the string will be studied. Some participants will be prescribed antibiotics. Follow-up visit 1: Participants whose H. pylori infection was cured by the antibiotics may leave the study. Those who are still infected will have an endoscopy: A flexible tube will be inserted down the throat and into the stomach. It will take tissue samples from the stomach lining. These participants will then receive antibiotics again. Follow-up visit 2: The physical exam, blood test, and stool sample will be repeated. ...

Primary objective: \- To compare the efficacy of reparixin vs. placebo in the proportion of patients dead or requiring IMV (or ECMO) by Day 28. Key secondary objectives: * To compare the efficacy of reparixin vs placebo in all-cause mortality at day 180. * To compare the efficacy of reparixin vs placebo in proportion of patients alive and discharged at day 28 * To compare the efficacy of reparixin vs placebo in ventilatory-free days at day 28. * To compare the efficacy of reparixin vs placebo in proportion of patients with IMV (or ECMO) by day 28. * To compare the efficacy of reparixin vs placebo in length of primary hospital stay. Other efficacy objectives \- To compare the efficacy of reparixin vs placebo on several disease severity/progression measures including recovery, ventilatory free days and mortality. Safety objectives: \- To evaluate safety and tolerability of oral reparixin versus placebo in the specific clinical setting.
